9 Best Nursing Homes in Ray County, MO

We like that this home has staff that has been there long term. It was one of the reasons we chose this home. After touring for several places and going back to some we found that management and staff were always changing. We were looking for a place where the staff stayed and we felt were knowledgeable. We are happy with our choice and our family member loves this home. The meals smell wonderful and our family member loves them and the staff.

Every time we go into Blue Hills, it seems very clean. There is always staff on site making sure the space is spotless. Everyone on staff is very friendly and helpful. They are good people! Blue Hills is a great value and the care is wonderful for the price. My mother has fallen a couple of times and the care giving staff has always been right there to immediately help her. We personally have not eaten on-site, however we have seen the dinner plates and the food always looks good. They clearly eat well here! Blue Hills is a great place and we are very comfortable having my mother there!

We have been very pleased with this facility and feel like we made a great decision in moving Mom into this facility! We have found every single staff member to be friendly, helpful, and truly caring! You never get the feeling of "that's not my job" from anyone there; even those in administrative positions are very interactive with the residents, sometimes even pitching in to help serve meals or clear tables. They do whatever is needed. There are many activities offered each month including trips outside the facility for those who choose to participate. These include exercise classes, music performances, Bingo, cards, monthly birthday parties, weekly manicures/pedicures, movies, shopping trips, lunches at nearby restaurants. Since we are close to KC, there were "watch parties" for the recent Super Bowl and celebration parade. My mother thinks the food is wonderful! There is always a daily special offered, but residents also have alternative choices if they do not want the special. Meals are served during an hour and a half "window" which gives residents some time flexibility. Fresh fruit and snacks are also always available in the front living room area! The only area I could possibly criticize would be housekeeping, and it really is not a bad problem. Mother's room is cleaned once/week which includes light dusting, vacuuming, and cleaning her bathroom, and emptying her trash. There have been a few times when her bathroom & trash needed to be addressed more than just once/week, but we have found that if we just set her trash outside her door, someone takes care of it! Our family has been very pleased with mother's care and we would definitely recommend Oak Pointe of Kearney! It is not a cheap place to live, but it is a place where residents receive attention and quality care.
