My brother and I toured and researched several places for our mom and dad. Our top choice was Primrose. Mom and Dad moved in to Primrose in January. The best thing is Mom and Dad could live together. My mom’s health declined soon after they moved in. And Primrose handled the care with a lot of patience and sensitivity. The staff is knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. Dad is adjusting to being by himself now since Mom passed away at the end of February. The staff takes good care of him, and staff as well as other residents make him feel included in the community. His apartment is clean and comfortable. The restaurant staff is great and serve delicious meals. There is plenty of activities that Dad enjoys like live music in the Pub and movies in the theater. They also have special recognition for veterans and Dad is a proud soldier and was an officer in the Army. Primrose is a wonderful place and I’m thankful Dad is living there!

Primrose-Jefferson City is a great place to live. I have been here three months and love it. The residents are all very friendly and welcoming. The activities director, Mariah is so accommodating and hardworking. She always makes sure you feel comfortable.

My Mother-in-law was a long-term resident at Primrose in Jefferson City. She lived on the independent side for a number of years but as her health declined she transitioned to the assisted living section. As her health continued to decline the family was concerned that she would need to move to a skilled nursing facility but the staff at Primrose informed us that Hospice could be called in to assist and thereby allow her to spend her final months and days in familiar surroundings. We were so very fortunate to have several days at the end for the family to gather to say good byes. The staff was so attentive to her needs and to the needs of the family at the difficult time we were experiencing. Some of the staff even stayed after their shift was over that final night and sat with the family as the end neared. The love and care of the staff was very obvious. Laura Stratman

I have called Primrose home since it opened 10+ years ago. Doug has been here since the beginning, always willing to help with a smile. Also a shout out to Mariah who is the assistant LEC. She has kept activities going through 4 LECs in the last 2 years, quietly doing her job with a smile.

Our mother was fortunate to be a long term resident at Primrose in Jefferson City, Mo. Initially in independent living but the last five years in Assisted Living. We were very fortunate that Primrose, with hospice assistance, was able to allow mom to die in her home, surrounded by the things she loved without having to move her in her latter days. The staff provided great support to our family during this very difficult time. The nursing team provided great care with such professionalism up to mom’s last breath. Thank you for everything (and it was a lot!) Sara & Dan Thimmesch
