The staff does a wonderful job of taking care of our mom and all the other residents. Very amazing, compassionate, caring and friendly to all of us. 💕 In fact, my mom’s friends would love to live here when they are ready for assisted living. Activities, events, and food are amazing also.💕 We also love that it is a smaller place which works very well for our mom. Thank you for all you guys do for everyone.💕

My parents spent the last few years of their lives at Brookdale Tallgrass. They were able to stay together even though their needs were very different. My father had Alzheimer's and needed the locked facility for safety. Mom was able to be as involved or as alone as she wished. The staff was patient, knowledgeable and efficient. Mom & Dad settled in quickly and considered Brookdale Tallgrass home. Thank you Brookdale Tallgrass staff.

My sister was unable to live independently and we could not provide the kind of care she needs. She has been at Brookdale Tallgrass for eight months now, and it is a perfect fit. It's comfortable...not too large or too small, and the facility is very attractive. The staff is attentive and my sister often comments on how nice everyone is. Although she doesn't always take part, there are many activities and we appreciate the family events. This is a great choice for us!

The management at Tallgrass is exceptional, working with them is the only reason this facility is as good as it is. My grandfather lived here and got the best care in town because they all work together and no one is above any chore or task. I have seen their head director cooking on weekends and their activity manager working regular care shifts and every manager is very approachable and interacting with families. Brookdale don’t know how good they have it with this team. My grandmother was at another Brookdale facility in KC and it was not even close to this good. If I ever have a need or know anyone who needs their service I will look up these leaders and place with them! Top to bottom they are the best TEAM in town! Charles, Michelle, you are the best!

Brookdale is set apart! The staff are friendly and attentive. They've created a special culture. It is easy to see connections and trust between staff and residents. The space is clean, comfortable, and homey. After the time I've spent at Brookdale, finding quality, smaller assisted living for loved ones will always be a priority!
