Review for Novel Place Overland Park

The staff was wonderful from the moment we walked in the door. Very helpful, focused on my mother and not me, and offered suggestions of where they thought my mother would fit in when it came to activities. They offered many activities which intrigued my mother as well. The facility was very very clean and didn't have any offensive odors. The menu was very broad in its offerings with enough options my mother was comfortable with knowing she had plenty to choose from. I really can't think of anything negative that stood out.

I could not be happier!

I've lived here 2 years. The staff is always friendly & extremely supportive. The building is very well kept and clean. There are as many activities as anyone would want or as much privacy that you might want. I've met some great friends! I enjoy dinner with friends and the options are fantastic. The staff goes all out for special events and making holidays extra special. I could not be happier with my Novel Place community.

overall a nice community.

What I like the most about Novel Place is the friendliest and open bright front and dining area. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families as long as they understand that there is no generator in case of a loss of electricity. Really an oversight by management.

Review for Novel Place Overland Park

I'd recommend the community as long as they were not a picky eater. The food was not that good. But the place was gorgeous and the staff was so kind. We picked this community because the cost was the deciding factor.

Lovely facility, caring staff

What we like the most about Novel Place is the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the community. Prices are going up due to inflation, but we would recommend them to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

Excellence

Such a perfect location, and an attractive modern building throughout, from the time you step into the lobby to the excellent travel photos on the walls along the hallways. Many pleasant places in the building are perfect for reading, conversation, or relaxing, including an inviting library and a TV room with a huge screen. Within walking distance to Chic-fil-a, Whataburger, Andy's ice cream, Texas Roadhouse, and Lowe's. Ideal places closeby to create your own daily walking routes.
