Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Shawnee County, KS
Lexington Park in Topeka, KS
4.0

I was very impressed with our experience at Lexington Park, it's a very nice place for independent senior living! It's a nice looking place, the people are all very friendly, and the apartments are a very nice size for the price! I would highly recommend them!

Topeka Presbyterian Manor
5.0

My friend who is a resident there can be a very difficult person but Presbyterian Manor loves on him anyways. If we could give the friendliness of the staff 10 stars we would! When it comes to the meals prepared, my friend just wants hotdogs delivered to his room for every meal and Presbyterian Manor cheerfully does it. For the activities, my friend was going to refuse to join in anything, but they somehow got him to join the art show.

Peggy Kelly House in Topeka, KS
4.5

Peggy Kelly House was the third and final care center that we moved mom into as she progressed through the final years of her battle with Alzheimer's. The care and attention there was far and above anything we had delt with before. The nurses and caretakers got to know her way beyond anything we had previously experienced. There were only about ten residents and at least that many caretakers, she was well cared for. We were extremely pleased with the Peggy Kelly House.
