My loved one has yet to move in, but I have spent a number of hours over there getting their apartment ready. From what I have seen, cleanliness is a 4, lots of dirt and stuff near baseboards in some of the hallways, but their apartment is remarkably clean considering two people lived there for a long time. Staff is very friendly and each has been helpful when approached. My only complaint would be male staff using vulgar language in casual conversations while unaware that they can be heard around the corner. The director is a real sweetheart who seems called to serve this population and make life comfortable. Regarding activities, did see that they had a nice Easter gathering for families, but also noticed the paper decorations in the courtyard were still weathering out there a month later and it took a while for that area to be mowed to a proper length. That being said, the apartment is quiet and comfortable climate wise--one drawback being that that the bathrooms lack fans to vent the humidity. No clue about care services, meals and dining, or value for the money. I will save that the staff were diligently vacuuming the hall the last time I was there, so I guess it gets done at some point!... Read more

Our family had an in person tour with the Garden Villas of Lenexa community, and overall we thought they did a very good job on the tour so it was a good experience.
Overall things are good, but they could do I better with communication and onboarding. Because my loved one moved in on [date removed], a lot of staff were in and out due to holidays. So, there were a lot of questions that didn't get answered in how things worked. The staff was also not educated on how to change oxygen tanks-there were several issues which made my loved one very anxious because oxygen is how they survives. The staff did listen to our concerns and did a lot of training for staff to avoid further issues. My loved one's room is nice sized for assisted living and they keep the facility clean. Our biggest issue has been communication and expectations. They tell our loved one something but don't do it and don't communicate. So we have requested they set realistic expectations, i.e., how soon they will come when my loved one buzzes them.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a nice tour but overall it was just not going to fit our loved ones needs,
I almost chose Garden Villas of Lenexa, it was a great facility and tour but I just felt another place we looked at was a better fit for my loved one.
The only issue I have with them. The food they serve. I have to watch what I eat. Lunch and dinner where more of a challenge, meaning lots of high sodium foods and not as many salads or vegetables were minimal. The friendliness of the people were great. The business office was great regarding any payment issues I had. They were so nice and so gracious. I met some very nice people there. A few where from my own church there. That was nice. I do miss them after coming home. Other than the food, the care and everything else was excellent. I was able to manage my own medicine during my time there.
I felt really good about the community. This community was a bit to far away from where I wanted my loved ones to be. They are still driving and we wanted them to be in an familiar area without the highway.
Garden Villas has provided excellent care and services for my mother. Great support from administration and staff. Positive, understanding and patient folks.
My loved one lived there for a few years. The facility was wonderful at first; until the current director arrived. She is dishonest and rude. Almost all of the original staff have left. They have had an extremely high turnover since her tenure. I would really do your research before placing a loved one here. So sad this has happened to what used to be a great community for seniors.

Mom has only been at Garden Villas for about a month. So far I would say the staff is a 4. They are nice and there is some good communication. The main issue would be the food. Mom has some dietary issues and there has been some difficulty helping her with this. She has not been able to participate in any of the activities but I am hoping once she settles in more she will.

At Garden Villas of Lenexa they need more upfront communication from the nursing staff. I didn't feel like they got a good idea of what her medical needs were upfront. Other than that everything else is really good here. I like it.

They were so patient on bringing my mom aboard. She wasn't able to move in for a couple months after we first contacted them, but they kept the room my mom wanted the entire time so she could move in. They went about and beyond the call of duty. I could not have done it without a certain member of the staff. I can not say enough good things about them.

If there's ever anything more we can do, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thanks again and take care!
I thought that the aquarium in the lobby was so fun and beautifully done. I liked the fact that you didn't have to be buzzed into the front door, to be greeted by the receptionist. I also thought the hair salon was outstanding, with all the space and big windows. At some of the other places we visited, the salon looked like a closet, but this one was big and airy. So was the dining room, it had a beautiful view. The indoor pool was amazing. The residents and staff seemed so outgoing and friendly! The residents we observed looked nicely dressed, and seemed to enjoy being there. I thought there was a good variety of activities and social opportunities available. Being pet friendly was a valuable perk for our mom. We haven't been there long enough to give a full review, but it looks great so far.

We certainly strive to make each and every area of the community welcoming and enjoyable. Feel free to share more of your experience after you've been able to be here awhile! Thanks again!
I had looked at 5 Care Giving facilities in the area before interviewing Garden Villa of Lenexa for my parents. This was the only place that allowed me to talk to guest at this facility. To get their perspective on living there. The staff said they had nothing to hide and wanted me as the care giver to feel sure this was the right place for them. Also met other children taking care of their parents living there. All said they their parents lived other places and this is the only place their parents would say "This feels like home" to them.
