"Assisted Living Facility Falls Short on Communication and Safety"
My family member fell twice during their stay. The initial information provided isn’t always accurate. Renters insurance wasn’t mentioned, and they blamed the family for a disaster.

"Small Community with Great Weekday Activities but Boring Weekends"
I appreciate that this is a smaller community. You can get to know the staff and caregivers really well. However, I wish they checked in on my loved one more often. They have a lot of fun activities during the week to keep everyone engaged, but the weekends can be quite dull for the residents.

"Assisted Living Facility Review: Needs More Clarity and Availability"
This place could've been a 4-star, but there's only one vacancy. When we talked about moving in, they only gave us one price option, and it wasn't clear if it included everything my dad might need. There are 29 units here, with just one registered nurse and some certified medication aides. I was worried because they said they'd bring in more staff as needed, but I didn't know how many caregivers each resident would have. The staff was really nice, though. It could work for my dad if he could move around better.

"Great place, but too pricey"
We visited this place while searching for my brother. It was nice and the staff was friendly, but it was really expensive.

"The smell upon entry bothered me"
The person who showed me around was great, shared helpful information. The place was nice, but the smell bothered me.

"Responsive and Caring Staff!"
The staff were friendly and attentive, taking care of all the details. When they didn’t know something, they researched it for us. Virginia stood out with her helpfulness and thoroughness.

"Mixed Experience, Mostly Positive"
There's a big issue with billing and management. It seems one person is trying to oversee two facilities and handle finances, which is just impossible. But it's not entirely her fault—it's frustrating for us because it's chaotic. On the bright side, the place is very clean, and the staff are doing a good job. Our sister has improved a lot since being there.

"Perfect place for a happy and independent life!"
Choosing Tallgrass was a breeze, and I’m so happy. My mom lives there and feels content, comfortable, and happy. The fireplace in the main room is lovely, and her apartment is great too. Everything is clean and fresh. From the Executive Director to the nurse to the chef, everyone greets you with a warm smile. This is the perfect place for a joyful, independent life!

"Satisfactory Assisted Living Facility with Some Communication Hiccups"
This place is really clean. Sometimes it's hard to reach the director, but they're nice. Alicia and Todd are great. The medication fee seems high to me. They offer plenty of activities, and the food is okay. I picked it because I'd be comfortable living here.

" Displeased with Initial Experience, But Improvements Made "
I didn't like the front porch when I first came. It needed cleaning and Christmas decorations were still up in April. But new management fixed it. I got my deposit and first month's rent back because there was no invoice number. The administration didn't know it was needed. It's fixed now. The activities aren't what I thought they'd be. Most residents have memory problems, so Bingo doesn't last long. There aren't any evening activities. After dinner, there's nothing to do but stay in your room. The van is shared, so sometimes trips get postponed because it's not available. I'm paying a lot of money for something I'm not happy with. I'm going to move.

"Sterling House: Great Community with Slightly High Price"
We only visited the Sterling House of Tallgrass, and we loved it! We liked that it was a smaller community but still felt like independent living for everyone. It had all the care levels and amenities that any family would want. The only small downside was that the price was a bit high, but if we were to find the best place for my mom, this would be it.

"Cozy and Friendly Assisted Living with Fewer Residents Seen"
This place was alright. It felt cozier and friendlier, like a casual hangout spot. There weren't many people around; they were either in their rooms or elsewhere.
