About Shawnee Hills

Shawnee Hills is a senior living community in Shawnee, Kansas, offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing/Long Term Care. The community is relatively new and designed to serve residents seeking different levels of care under one roof.

Families consistently praise the staff and community atmosphere. Multiple reviewers highlight the genuine warmth among residents and caring individual staff members, with one family noting "a true, genuine sense of Family, Care & LOVE." Activities are well-organized, with one resident expressing appreciation for daily programming including bingo, card games, and outings. Many families report their loved ones are happy and engaged from their first day. However, some concerns have emerged: one family raised issues about food quality not matching initial expectations, describing meals as heavily processed and overly salted rather than the restaurant-style dining promised during the sales process. Another family reported problems with front-office responsiveness and expressed frustration about pricing changes.

Shawnee Hills holds a 4.3 out of 5 Google rating based on 40 reviews. While most reviewers had positive experiences, the feedback suggests variation in operations and service consistency, particularly around dining standards and administrative communication, worth exploring directly before deciding.

* We are formally raising concerns about several service issues that have not met the standards presented to us when our mother moved into your community.<br><br>* **Food quality:**<br>The food is well below the level that was described to us. We were told the dining experience would reflect a high-end, restaurant-style standard. Instead, the meals appear heavily processed and overly salted, which is not appropriate for senior adults. Our mother frequently complains about the food, and we have had to provide additional groceries so she has acceptable options available.<br><br>* **Maintenance:**<br>Our mother has reported unresolved room issues, including air leaks and blinds that do not work properly. These concerns have been outstanding for several months, and no one has come to address them. The maintenance response has been inadequate.<br><br>* **Housekeeping and trust:**<br>Personal items, including rings and other belongings, have gone missing following housekeeping visits. As a result, our mother no longer feels comfortable allowing housekeeping into her room unless she is present the entire time. This is a serious concern.<br><br>* These are our primary issues at this time. We expect the level of service that was represented to us at move-in.<br><br>* Given the monthly cost, the standard of service should be significantly higher.

We were very happy with the facility during our visit. It was clean, food smelled very good & everyone was friendly. Especially Susan our tour guide. Loved a visit with Bubbly Julian, the activities director.<br>Our personal issue is it is too high priced for us. But everywhere is. So that isn’t site specific.
