Mom’s new home

We were so worried that my Mom would not transition well, from her home. However, this has not been the case. Previously, she was by herself, lonely, and not receiving much stimulation from activities and being around others. This all changed, once she moved to Shawnee Hills. My mom loves being around others, playing games, attending church & other activities. She loves being waited on and eating delicious food. The staff are so caring. Mom loves her new home and is so happy!

I ordered yogurt then changed my mind to get fruit, they gave me fruit and took the y yogurt back. You are only allowed so much food then you can't have anymore. Don't go there

Shawnee Hills

My father has lived at Shawnee Hills for about two months and it has been an overall positive experience. The facility is clean, bright and there are lots of activities for residents to participate in. The food service could be better. Most of the time my dad is satisfied with his meals, but sometimes he has to wait a long time before he gets served and couple of times he’s said his food was cold. The physical and occupational therapy staff are great. My father’s mobility has improved since he has been working with them. I would recommend Shawnee Hills!

Overall Recommended

There has been a lot of turnover of staff in the dining room, and the meals have not been as good as expected. They are working through the issues, but it seems to be taking a while. This is my mom's only complaint/negative about the place. Mom has recommended three people to move in there. Two of them are already in and love it, and the third is on a waiting list. So overall, it is a great place for her to be! She really does love it there.

Review for Shawnee Hills Senior Living

My experience has been wonderful. My only criticism would be with the dining experience. My criticism is mostly from feedback with my Mom. We do, however, realize that getting good dining staff is an issue everywhere in this industry and they are working hard to get better staff. But other than that I have been very pleased.

Welcoming and friendly

The staff cares for residents like their family, checking in on them if they miss meals and helping them adjust to their new homes. The facility is updated with tile floors and blue/gray tones that feel clean and soothing. If I were of an age, I'd stay there.

Wonderful place with amazing activities for their residents.

My experience with Shawnee Hills has been great. My dad is very happy there. I chalk part of this up to the many fun activities they have. Their Activity’s Director [name removed] goes above and beyond in creating fun activities for the residents. One evening recently my dad and I were on a dinner date and [name removed] actually called him to see if he was okay because she had not seen him that day. Wow I was just so happy to know that someone was checking on him when I’m not around! [name removed] has hosted parties at Halloween and Christmas for the residents and their families and recently did a nice celebration for the fathers on the weekend after Father’s Day. We are so blessed to have [name removed]! She is truly exceptional at her position and a sweet and caring person to boot! Thank you [name removed] for your wonderful care!

Our Experience

My mom is a resident at Shawnee Hills Senior Living and she is very happy there. I have dealt with [name removed] the most and she is amazing. She knows everyone's name and she makes a point to go socialize with the residents. The food is good, they have a menu and you order what you want like a restaurant. The facilities are well kept and clean. Overall, the entire process was smooth and everyone is friendly. The facility is amazing.

Shawnee Hills has a very caring staff. Dining room service is sometimes very slow and is a common topic among residents.

Review for Shawnee Hills Senior Living

The tour made us feel so welcomed. Once moved in that feeling grew. It feels like a family. Everyone is so kind, caring and helpful. We made the choice for this community because of this friendliness and how clean and organized the facility is. The cost is expensive for elderly, but comparable to other communities. It's actually a bit cheaper than others.
