I had a wonderful experience with Primrose Community Center. The team was very professional from start to finish. It was truly a pleasure working with the manager, Dawn, and assistant manager, Danell, they communicated with us every step of the way and went above and beyond to help get my parents comfortably moved in. The community offers both independent and assisted living options, and what stood out most was the warm, welcoming, community feel. There are plenty of activities available, which creates a vibrant and engaging environment for residents. We also had lunch there prior to move-in, and the food was very good, another reassuring touch. I’m grateful for the care and attention they provided and would highly recommend Primrose to anyone looking for a supportive and well-managed senior living community.

I have friend who lives here, she seems to like it. I trust her. Maybe in the future, I will move in when I get truly old if room is available.

Super disappointed. Staff is treated horribly!!!. You could hear the cook talking about which residents were eating too much. Some residents who needed help eating or who was brought to the dinning room were left till a staff member had to ask for someone to take them. Staff in dining room did not look happy.

My parents have been living at Primrose for the last 6 months. Prior to that they lived in a rural community for 56 years in a very beautiful but older home. There was never a time I wasn’t worried about their safety about what would happen if they needed help because there was no fire department in their town. There were no emergency services. that were closer than 30 minutes and they are 85 and 90 years old. Now that they are at Primrose is a completely different scenario every time we go and visit there are so many activities going on. My parents did not get out much before. The only people they really came in contact with was family. They have made so many friends. My mom is painting, playing cards, bingo,doing puzzles …..every time I go and visit, she introduces me to some new friends… They are safe and that’sthe biggest thing to me. They are closer to their doctors offices, right in the middle of the North Kansas City, where we can go to dinner or go shopping. The apartment is amazing and clean. The food is great the events they do for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Veterans Day every occasion. I just love every aspect of Primrose and I’m so happy that my parents are there and now when we go to visit it’s just very pleasant all the way around. They are thriving there, and the staff is so easy to work with and accommodating they always answer the phone or get back with me as soon as they can with any questions I have. I would Absolutely recommend Primrose if you want the very best for your parents or loved ones.
