Anthology of Plaza

My mom was there from [date removed] until she passed in 2024. The staff at anthology cared for her like family. She was in the memory care floor and the staff were all so loving and really knew how to handle her. She had Parkinson’s and dementia which is really rough but the staff made it good. The physical building looks like a 4 star hotel. Ots on the plaza so we often took mom out for meals. It’s beautiful and my mom often thought she was on vacation (dementia). It was on the plaza so we took her out to eat a lot which she loved. They had all the specialists to help her with her illness on site so she had daily treatments. From physical therapy to dentists to beauty salon. They’re were also fun activities like dancing and art that they had. The food was average but my mom really seemed to like it. I really felt good about having her there for 2 and 1/2 years because she was safe and cared for. They really cared about my mom and our family.

Very caring and professional

The rooms at the Ashton are spacious and bright but best of all everybody from the Magnolia Trail director (the Ashton's Memory Care section) to the nurses, aides, occupational therapists to the medical director are very caring, loving and professional. You can be sure your family member is well cared for.

WOW!!

We had a wonderful experience at The Ashton on The Plaza!! We toured during one of their Open House Events and were thoroughly impressed on every level!! Not only is The Ashton a GORGEOUS place to live, but the Team we met was friendly, helpful, responsive, and welcoming!! Their Residents were happy and enthusiastic about their experiences and eager to introduce us to their friends who also live there!! We had an opportunity to join them for a meal and the food was delicious!! Not to mention the location … our family loves The Country Club Plaza area and my parents are excited to make The Ashton home!! ??

A Wonderful Place for My Friend

My friend moved to The Ashton on the Plaza, and I couldn't be happier with their experience. The staff is so welcoming every time I visit and always make sure I don't have any concerns during my time there. They truly care and have taken the time to get to know my friend personally, creating a plan that meets their needs without taking away their independence. Every visit leaves me impressed by how warm and inviting the community feels. My friend is thriving, staying active, and has been doing so much better since moving in. They're genuinely enjoying life here. I highly recommend The Ashton on the Plaza!

Professional and endearing to residents

[name removed] is made for this position. She shows great care and dignity to her residents. You can see this in the way they react with her. They all just adore her. She takes great care in planning amazing activities and keeping them engaged. The family members can see and feel the quality care of every resident. She typically goes above and beyond for every resident and will personally make sure they are always happy and comfortable. Take great confidence in her care of your loved one.

Small facility in the heart of the Plaza

Some staff go above and beyond. Some staff are there for the job. Been a year of changes, with unexpected construction , new owners, some staff and management changes. Efforts to communicate with families once resolved but not always promptly. Proximal traffic issues due to street car construction. Looking forward to it being finished. Staffing seems under staffed on certain days and evenings. ( the med techs serve multiple floors) There isn’t a central nursing desk so sometimes takes time to find nursing staff or wait for them to reply to help button. Small community so good place to know other residents. Activities director is creative with the calendar. Food specials vary and been good meals if you like a variety.

Tour of Facility

[name removed] was absolutely marvelous: professional, cheerful, knowledgeable, upbeat, articulate and energetic. I noted that she called the residents that we met by name with no hesitation. I also appreciated that she directed her comments to me, rather than to my son and his wife. Very respectful. She has also been very excellent with follow-up communications.

My experience is always a good one from the front desk associate being kind whenever I am there. I am pleased with the level of care my father-in-law is receiving as well. My father-in-law means a lot to me and when he is happy, I am too.

The Ashton On the Plaze do a wonderful job with the care of my father [name removed] and my uncle [name removed]. This facility has really made my family members feel at home away from home. I’m just so proud of the staff professionalism and how they make me feel “not to ever worry about the physical care of my love ones. I thank God for this location and staff, please keep up the good work and your work will never good unnoticed. [name removed]

Appreciate the staff

My mother is a resident here at Ashton in the Plaza, soon to start her 5th year. The staff here sincerely cares. They work very hard to take care of the residents. My mother loves her caregivers and nurses that see her everyday. (I would suggest more caregivers per floor). I do have to remind myself that mother doesn’t have a personal valet and it may take time to get to her. The directors have been readily available to listen to any concerns. The people that care for my mother is what matters most to me. From the moment i walk through the door (staff member at the front desk is so knowledgeable and helpful) until i walk out the door, I am grateful my mother has such a clean beautiful facility providing fun things to do and good food and most importantly a staff of wonderful people.

Amazingly happy

My mom has been in memory care (Magnolia Trails) for almost 2 years. I toured almost every facility in Kansas City and Ashton by far exceeded expectations. The rooms are like small apartments and the color scheme makes them very homey. The staff is amazing to not only my mom, but to me also. They have been my support through every step of the way. They are never to busy to answer questions or just to talk if I'm upset. The food is remarkable! There is a daily menu and also an all the time menu plus snacks throughout the day. There are so many activities and [name removed] the activities director is amazing! She takes them on field trips, does nails, goes on walks, makes every holiday super special and even does things for football days. The truth is, nobody will ever treat your parents how you do, but the love the staff has is amazing. My mom has her dignity at all times, she is fed, she has her hair done in cute styles every day, she gets her nails painted, she plays games and does artwork

Disappointed.

1. Disappointing. 2. They Need to clean common carpet areas more frequently. We're not sure mom's floor gets vacuumed weekly. Food dropped on the floor by her chair doesn't get vacuumed until we request it. Have had to ask multiple times to spot clean/clean her carpet. Now the new owners will charge $50-$100 to spot clean. 3. Most people are friendly. Some appear that they don't even want to be there. 4. Below standard. Some workers are ignorant as to why they are there. Not enough staff. We've been told several times that's not my job. They say they'll get someone, and we still have to wait an excessive amount of time. Inappropriate conversations amongst workers about their job dissatisfaction. 5. Food is good. Best part of the community. 6. [name removed] the Activities Director does a great job trying to bring joy to people's lives. She is the heartbeat of the community. She's one of the few who looks like she enjoys her job. 6. Overpriced for services advertised but not given. We would not recommend Anthology. We've had too many issues over the past year. We plan to give our notice and move mom to [facility name removed]

I would recommend.

Overall positive. Main areas always looked clean. No odor. Myself and Hospice had to ask a few time to clean my mom's floor. Food was amazing when my mother moved in. However they lost their chef. Food became average. They did a great job finding activities that were very personal for the residence in hopes to create purpose in their life.

Experience at Anthology

My loved one is doing very well at Anthology at the Plaza. He needed the extra care and attention, so he is happy overall. The only thing he really isn't entirely happy with is the food.

Review of 2 years of experience

My mother is a two year resident of Anthology at the Plaza and the experience has been very good. The meal quality and variety has been good. The staff is friendly and helpful and communication overall has been good. I think the cleaning could be a little better, but I'm pretty picky about that. The staff concern and care have been very good. I would recommend this facility to others.
