  My grandpa-in-law, Al, held a very special place in our hearts and in the hearts of so many throughout the Independence community. He was deeply loved by his family, friends, and countless past clients. My wife and I are in real estate, and even today we still run into people who immediately know exactly who Grandpa and Grandma were, simply because of their long-standing local business, Evans Plumbing. That alone says so much about the life they lived and the reputation they built. Grandpa was a businessman at heart and truly understood people and customer service. He was incredibly smart, quick to make friends wherever he went, and always eager to help. During renovations on our properties, it was not uncommon for me to pull up and see his old plumbing truck parked out front early in the morning. He was not contracted to do a thing, yet there he was, working alongside our contractors. They grew to know him well and often told me stories of Grandpa giving advice, questioning a method, or offering insight that only a well-trained, experienced eye like his could provide. That was Grandpa Al. Helpful, curious, engaged, and proud of good work. After retirement, Grandpa’s words slowly began to fade. Communication became harder, and eventually his speech gave way to his familiar expressions, his occasional laughter, and his warm, friendly smile. When he reached the point of needing full-time care, his final home became Brookdale College Square. What we found there truly exceeded our expectations. Every time we visited, Grandpa was involved in something. He attended worship services, participated in crafts, played games, shared meals, and made new friends. It brought us comfort to see him surrounded by community and purpose. We especially loved seeing a TV nearby playing his favorite John Wayne movies, a small detail that meant the world to our family. During Grandpa’s final moments, nurse after nurse came into his room to say their goodbyes. Each one spoke through tea

  I want to sing the praises of the management, staff and activities coordinator Pam at Brookdale college square. I am always impressed with the years of service of the care givers and the quality of care. They go above and beyond every day. Pam the activity coordinator is always upbeat and positive and provides a variety of activities for the residents. Especially love how she involves the families every Thursday evening with entertainment for everyone!
