This place might be good for elderly who cant think or ask for help, but it is advertised as a…read morerehabilitation source after surgery. I chose because it is a beautiful, classy building- maybe for some but my 3 day experience was the worst, most humilitating, uncomfortable, "rehabe" I have and will ever experienced. After total hip replacement I asked for rehab. My two friends went to other places and were given constant appropriate treatment. All this was, was a nursing home. My "rehab" was about 10 minutes a day with PT and OT, when they showed up. I was transported in a junky van, in a wheelchair, barely fit- lots of junk in back. I was wheeled in to find a small room, mattress about 4" thick of some kind of vinyl with only a stretchy cotton sheet that felt like a worn out t-shirt. When I moved it slid. Mattress was hard, very uncomfortable for anyone who had hip surgery, and came with 2 12" "pillows" that kept sliding off bed. Happily my friend brought up two pillows from my house because I was unable to get out of bed and retrieve the "pillows" on the floor. Blankets were like heavy knit sheets that constantly fell down on the floor and end of bed, not retrievable in my stat. . Regular nurse did a good job with meds when she came. CNA's or whoever they were were short, uncaring, and scarce. I resorted to walking the halls with my walker because lying on the plastic mattress cause for much pain. I asked for help getting my blankets back on bed from floor several times. "We'll get to it " My bedside tray was full of used and old stuff- no room for even my box of klenex. I walked out with my walker and asked if my room could be cleaned and blankets on floor at end of bed cover me as i was cold. "We'll get there". Also while i was asleep in mid afternoon someone put an egg salad sandwich on tray. Nothing else. Didn't clean. I saw them come in, and plop it down, but hours later when I woke back up I was afraid to eat it as it had been sitting there for hours. I went out and ask for some other food, Kitchen closed. No food. Tired of looking at the mess and blankets on floor I dumped all I could in waste basket and used my walker to push all the old food, blankets, used stuff out the door. Then went for a walk with my walker to get out of there. I heard one of the CNA's, busy with their cell phones and hamburgers, say "What's that in the hall?" I just kept walking. Ten minutes later they got off their asses and phones and cleaned up my room. I had to ask for a glass of water. Exhausted and in pain. I asked to be discharged immediately. Person was pissed saying "Now I'll have to change all the paperwork". Came in later and said I was approved to go but not until midnight because I had my 10 minutes of PT that day. I called my ex husband and had him pull up in front at 7 next morning. I loaded belongings on walker and hobbled toward to front door, and left. Nobody even knew I was gone. No followup, no calls, I was just gone, nobody cared as usual. Worst experience I have EVER HAD! PLEASE DONT GO TO THIS PLACE FOR REHAB- THERE IS LITERALLY NO REHAB AND THE MOST UNCOMFORTABE, HUMILITATING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! DIANE

We recently moved from mother from this facility due to its new owners. This facility was bought…read morelast summer by Legend Senior Living and is now called Hemsley House of Lenexa. My family's plan was to have her live out the rest of her life here if possible. When the new owners took over, she was paying approximately $8500/mo for a small studio apartment. She was not totally independent and needed help with her medications and some daily care. She was able to get around the facility in a self propelled transport chair but not incapacitated. After the first of the year, the new "point system" that established gauging the amount of care she would be needing. I sat down with the Healthcare Director to review how my mother was evaluated for her level of care. I did not disagree with what she was listing. The facility use to have 5 levels of care but the new owners eliminated the 5 tier so there are only 4 levels of care now. Once her points were totaled, she ended up being at a level 4 (highest level of care possible). Her monthly cost rose by almost $3000/mo, making her monthly obligation over $11,000. I requested a copy of the "points system" but was told they were unable to provide a copy to me. I am a retired nurse so I am familiar with this type of evaluation of care. My mother was paying the same amount of money that a totally bedridden resident was paying, yet she needed very little help in comparison. This point system is rigged for a money grab by the owners. Most any person needing ANY amount of help at this facility would most likely be at a level 3 or 4 when moving in. The staff of caregivers at this facility were wonderful with my mother so it was very frustrating to have to move her. We also had to give a 60 day (not 30) notification for moving out of the facility. I get that the owners are looking for profits but this large increase is ridiculous. If my parents had not saved as well as they did, my mother would never be able to afford this. We were fortunate to have found another facility that is about the same amount of money that she was originally paying and believe the care at this location will accommodate her well.

He eventually moved to Parks Meadow in January of 2023; however, it was recommended that he reserve his unit by paying the December 2022 rent. Unfortunately, soon after his move he became ill, hospitalized and passed away in mid-February, 2023. His stay at Park Meadows was only 3 1/2 weeks (late January to mid-February). The family paid March rent as we needed time to remove his belongings from the unit. In all, we paid 4 month's rent for his short stay. Another part of his "singing" up for Park Meadows was a "one time non-refundable" Community Fee - in this case $10,000 listed on page 40 of a 52-page lease agreement. It was explained that the Community Fee would lower his rent over his stay at Park Meadows. The family requested that Park Meadows refund at least part of the Community Fee. as his unit was only used a short time and he did not get a chance to use dining or any other facility amenities. Obviously, the family is very disappointed, and surprised, on the position Park Meadows is taking. Although there is no legal recourse, we find it unethical for Park Meadows to keep all of the "Community Fee" as his residence was so short in time. In speaking to the business officer at the facility, she could only say "it's out of my hands" and "I completely understand". In the end, it feels like a 92 year old man was taken advantage of with a very long and detailed lease agreement and an insensitive corporate entity.
