Sierra and her staff are phenomenal. The Ranch House is a beautiful residence. Sierra goes above and beyond to meet the needs of residents and their families. We are fortunate to have a top notch residential home here in Western Kansas.

My mom loves it at The Ranch House! The evaluation, move in and care she receives there has made it such an easy transition to assisted living. She loves the meals (and new ice cream machine). Sierra and Hannah are terrific to work with and all of the staff are always so very nice and helpful. It’s such a help for our family also that they transport her to Dr appointments and we just meet her there. It’s comforting knowing that mom is well taken care of when we are not with her.

The staff here is always courteous. They’re very nice to me and treat me with great respect. The housing is great. Also, they clear the staff cleans once a week very good cleaning and if you can’t aren’t able to do your laundry, you can have them do it there’s no cooking, which I am so proud of I hate my cooking And I just think they’re wonderful. What else can I say Ranch House I love Ranch House Assisted Living! Thank you Sierra and Hannah

Ranch House has been an awesome place for my parents. My father is in the assisted skilled living area, recovering from a fall. Staff and meals are amazing. My mother is in the apartments and has a very nice place, extremely clean, great activities and meals. The staff has gone above and beyond to make sure that they both get to eat meals and spend time together until they can both be together in the apartment. Sierra and Hannah have been so helpful and are great people to lead you through the entire process of getting set up. Everyone is so friendly.

My husband and I performed live music for the resident's holiday gathering. The public spaces are spacious, clean and beautiful. The residents were very friendly and loved our music. The staff was very attentive to the resident's needs throughout the program and everyone enjoyed the party. It was a pleasure to share our music with The Ranch House residents and we look forward to visiting them again.
