We chose Shawnee Hills because of the location, it is close to my house.

I wish they had more activities provided, they do get cancelled a lot. The facility is a perfect size so staff are able to keep a good eye on residents. I would recommended them to others looking.
Our family had an in person tour and t was a good experience but the community was just a little older and not going to be the best fit
I would recommend this community for your loved one. This is a nice place and I would for sure recommend. They have a lot of activities at this community like bingo, cooking classes, and more for the residents to do to have a good time and stay busy. They also have a movie theater and the residents play card games and socialize together. The fitness center is also really nice.
The Shawnee Hills community is very close by which is a great thing. However the meals are a big complaint, they are not what we were expecting and they are not sizable portions.
Our family had an in person tour and Shawnee Hills is a beautiful community, they just did not have any openings at the time.
This community is very well priced for everything that is offered, and our loved one is really enjoying his stay. He especially is enjoying being able to cook in his apartment with his kitchenette. We would recommend to others.
It's a clean, friendly place where everybody knows everybody. I would absolutely recommend them to other families.

November 1, 2021Hello, thank you for your great review of Shawnee Hills Senior Living. We are so glad your loved one is happy at our community. If there is anything else we can do, please feel free to reach out.
We chose Shawnee Hills because of the value for the money and the location of the facility as well, it was close to her house that she sold. It is a newer place but the least expensive. The apartment sizes here are excellent. She is very happy and I would recommend to others looking.

September 16, 2021Thank you, for the great review of Shawnee Hills Senior Living. We are happy to hear that your loved one is enjoying the community!
My mother was 84 when she moved to Shawnee Hills. Prior to her moving in I spoke to, texted, and e-mailed [name removed] (Director of Sales & Marketing). That title is a fancy title. She is just [name removed]. She was so helpful, patient, and kind to myself, the son of my mother. Then she had my mother in for a a tour and lunch. Needless to say my mother moved in. This place is very new, but not nearly as expensive as others. My mother is having so much fun. She is dressing up for dinners. She is taking pictures of the people and her place. I am so grateful how easy the transition was, and I am amazed how genuine [name removed] and the rest of the workers are. I would recommend this place for anyone, if I were not so young, I would move there myself.

I cannot say enough good things about Shawnee Hills. I toured other facilities and none compared. I moved my 86 year old mother here after 48 years in her same location which is not a easy transition. SHE LOVES IT and it turned into a much easier transition than I ever imagined. Not only is it beautiful, they provide so many amenities that it makes it easy for Moms care. She loves the staff and residents alike. The staff takes the time to stop and say hello to each resident each time they see them and the residents to the same with the staff. The residents interact with each other and welcome new individuals as do the staff. The food is amazing (yes I have eaten there with my mom). I don’t have enough room to say everything great about this place but I will say that I feel safe going home and leaving my mom there knowing she is in a loving, caring, safe environment with people who care for her.

My wife and I have been enjoying the apartment for over four years. The staff has been very accommodating and friendly. The food and service has been very good. There has been a variety of activities. We have received our first Covid vaccination and are scheduled for our second this week. An excellent destination for independent living.

April 27, 2021Thank you for sharing your experience with us about Shawnee Hills Senior Living. We are happy to hear you are enjoying the community and independent living!
In the beginning the admin lady who introduced us to the facility was very nice, she was very accommodating and very welcoming, which is why we placed our loved ones there. In the end they hired a new admin lady and she was not welcoming and did not listen. It was wonderful in the beginning, the cleanliness of the community was fine.We paid monthly fees for our loved one to receiver her medicine which never happened. She did not have her breathing treatments in four months, she missed her insulin treatments for four weeks, and missed three separate doses of medicine.

November 12, 2020Hi Cindy, we are disappointed to hear of your loved one’s experience, but it is important that we clarify that Shawnee Hills is an independent senior living community with no care services. If a resident has need of any supportive health services, they secure those services on their own through a third-party provider of their choice. Any failure to provide services to your loved one would fall on the third-party provider that your family chose to contract with. We will certainly share this feedback with any of the third-party companies we know our residents use, but ultimately the oversight of the services a resident contracts for are between them and the provider and has no connection to the community. As for an unfriendly administrative person, we are confused as to whom you may be speaking of. Our Business Office Manager has been here for thirteen years, and our Executive Director is new, but is male – as was his predecessor. Our best guess is that you are referencing someone with the organization you contracted to provide support services. Again, any dissatisfaction you may have with them should be directed to their leadership and we feel it is unfair for you to hold the community accountable for their misdeeds. If you’d like to discuss further, our community would be happy to hear from you.
We moved Dad in based on a recommendation from someone who’s mother lived there when she was still In Independent Living. We couldn’t be happier.

April 27, 2021Thank you for your fantastic review of Shawnee Hills Senior Living.
I would want others to know when looking into Shawnee Hills that if your loved one has dietary restrictions, they will not help you. They promised they but they do not cater to dietary restrictions. The staff here continuously changes, from cleaning to management. When my mom left here, she finally had someone who listened to her. this all happened during COVID, we were not able to visit her for 3 months. They do have a nice workout and laundry facility, but other than that we participated in nothing because nothing was available. I would recommend for people 80 and up. It is an older clientele.

November 19, 2020Hello Julia, thank you for your feedback. We regret that your mom experienced frustration in regard to dining options at our community. Our dining program did shift at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. It was established in compliance with guidance from the CDC, and federal, state, and local healthcare authorities to ensure the safety of our residents and team members. We offered complimentary delivery service and multiple meal options each day, in addition to a menu that residents could order from should those options not be to their liking. Given that your mom’s only experience living at our community was during the pandemic, this isn’t a fair assessment of our normal programming and operations. The pandemic has been challenging on everyone, and we certainly appreciate the patience and understanding residents have shown as we have endured major operational shifts to protect our residents and team members. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the community Executive Director.
Wow! What a beautiful community at an unbelievable monthly fee. After looking at several places for mom only one place felt like home. We moved in before Covid so she was able to enjoy the community, and all of its benefits. She said she felt like she was on a cruise. Hopefully, everything will return to normal sooner than later, but appreciate the communications.
