About these figures
Computed on September 29, 2026 from the 21 communities listed in Kansas City, 592 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
