Smaller facility where you can get to know your caregivers.
One of my loved one's main complaints is if you miss mealtimes, they're not very accommodating. There is food to eat, but if you're late by even a few minutes, you could miss out on a hot meal. She enjoys the activities she can participate in, but some aren't geared toward / inclusive of people who are differently abled. The staff are very responsive when I come to them with concerns or questions. And the facility always looks lovely.

Look elsewhere.
I've been here about 6 months. It seemed ok at first then the wheels seemed to come off. At one point I didn't get my medications for 3 days. Believe me, I for sure need ALL of my meds every day. No apology at all. If you are sick and need to stay in your room, good luck getting fed. There isn't an RN on duty ever. An LPN is the head nurse and the rest might be CNA's. No transportation at all. You are on your own. The oven hasn't worked in 5 months. The ice machine broke and it took 2 weeks to get fixed. Super short handed. Everyone leaves for better paying jobs and better hours. Oh my! The food leave alot to be desired. One night our dinner was half a sandwich and a few Cheetos. Did I mention that the parent company is extremely cheap. All of the food comes in frozen. The hamburger steaks they serve are the same ones in a Banquet frozen dinner. People are basically wearhoused here. There is very little if any medical care. Medicine mistakes are a problem. I can catch them but most don

Love Homestead of Lenexa
We just love it here. The care is excellent, and they definitely go above and beyond. My loved one says the food is good. They are currently without an activities director right now but are looking for one. In the meantime, they're trying do a few things here and there as they're able to. I think it's a very good value, and we've been super happy. She was almost needing a nursing home, but they've been taking care of absolutely everything for her. We feel so lucky that they were able to make it work. The director, [name removed], and his staff are just amazing. When we suddenly had to find care after her being released from a rehab facility, the nurse at Homestead of Lenexa went above and beyond after hours to make it work. They're all so friendly and nice. I think that comes from Dell, who insists on a really clean place and a friendly staff. It truly starts at the top. They've all been wonderful, and we've not encountered any problems at all. Another thing I love is it's a smaller place where everyone knows everyone. The shape of it is a square, so with her memory issues, it's impossible for her to get lost. If she wanders, she'll always end up back at her room or at the lobby area or another familiar place. They also have a beautiful courtyard in the middle that's safe for them to use. It's just such a safe and easy place for her to get around, which was a key feature for us.

Tour of Homestead
The guy who gave us the tour was extremely friendly. It just did not feel like the right fit for my loved one, it is a little run down. They do take Medicaid which is great, they were one of the only ones in the area that I could find who did.

Tour of Homestead
We toured Homestead of Lenexa and it seemed more tired and run down than the others we looked at. The room we were shown was not very clean and the room they were going to give her was run down and they were not going to change the carpet or anything like that. We were looking at this facility in the first place due to the fact that they do accept medicaid.

Don't send your loved one here
My mother was moved here when Homestead of Leawood closed it's doors to remodel during Covid. Unfortunately we went from bad to worse. Save yourself a lot of frustration and don't put your loved one here. Missed showers, medication errors, verbal abuse from staff. My mom slipped out of her wheelchair partly because she didn't have a leg brace on and was sitting on a pillow because her cushion was lost. Nothing was done about her brace and the second fall sent her to the hospital. I am still trying to get them to put on her brace! They lie to you. No one cares. Especially not the upper management. It's sad, cruel and criminal.

Five stars for a caring environment
Giving Homestead Assisted Living of Lenexa, 5 stars. A warm, small caring place. My mother was there for 2 1/2 years and received wonderful care. Excellent communication with the staff. The rooms are nice, residents are checked on several times a day, many activities, good meals. It is a place like home.

Great place - personalized care- highly recommend
The place you pick should fit your needs. For my mom, this was exactly what she needed. It was time to move her from her independent living apartment where she was not able to be monitored for progressing memory issues. This smaller place (less than 40 residents, all on one level), with a variety of apartment options, was made for her. I cannot say enough good things about this place. She loves the sunny apartment that all her furniture fit into, which made her transition easier. Having a smaller population allows the staff to make frequent visits during the day and evening to check on them, encourage them to get out and socialize, take them on outings (she had a picnic at SM Park last month) and keep us informed of issues and changes noticed. Menus ARE posted as are activities and menus are printed out for residents and family. The nurses are great ...as are the aids, kitchen staff and front office. They have become family to us and her. There are family events to get everyone to know each other. Though you may shy away from the decor that is less modern than other places, it's clean and homey for the residents. If what is most important is your trust of the staff to give loving care for your parent, this is the place to be.

Wonderful and Loving Staff
We moved my Grandmother to Homestead from another living facility about 2 years ago. Our experience with Homestead of Lenexa was fantastic, the entire staff was so loving and caring, everyone from the chef (Deborah) to the aids, nurses, and administrators were fantastic to my Grandmother. Homestead's facilities are not as new as the facility she was at prior but each and every day her experience and time spent at Homestead was far superior. My Grandmother was not the easiest resident for them but their staff was always excellent and patient with her and the love they showed her was beautiful. The administrators and nurse have repeatedly gone out of their way to help my family during hard times. I would recommend Homestead 100%!

Very Homey
My mom had to leave for a brief stay in the hospital after being here only 2 weeks. So now she is resettling in and I think it is going to work out. The staff is very caring and friendly. It is a smaller community and they are able to quickly respond to her for any assistance she may need. I have had lunch with my mom on a few occasions and the food is very good. They will provide substitute choices if you don't like what is served. There are plenty of activities and the staff will come and knock on the doors of the
residents to try and encourage them to participate. My mom and I recently attended a lemonade party get-together they had organized. I feel very satisfied that mom is being well cared for here at Homestead of Lenexa.

Good care, but the food could use a lot of work
My loved one was at this community for a time, and while generally things went well it ended up not working out as a permanent option. The rooms here were nice, they were more spacious than many we looked at in the same price range. I also felt like the the care staff, the nurse and CNAs, did an excellent job (although my loved one said they could have been more attentive). One issue we had is that the director wasn't very responsive when it came to feedback, there was a lack of acknowledgement of issues and follow-through.
However the deal-breaker for us was the food. It really just was not good at all. Food was something my loved one derived a lot of enjoyment from, and he felt like he had nothing to look forward to here. I tried it myself a few times, and it really was not acceptable.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Kansas regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Kansas regulations for Assisted Living.
