Riverstone Retirement Community

Most people have many fears about leaving their home and moving to a community like Riverstone, and our mother was no different. She held on for as long as possible, but at the age of 92, she decided it was time. I’ve worked in the healthcare industry for the past 40 years and have been in nearly every facility in the Kansas City area during that time. When it came time for our mother to leave her home, I knew exactly where I hoped she would agree to move — and that our family would feel comfortable with the recommendation. Still, if I’m honest, you can’t help but worry that your choice might not turn out the way you hope. From our very first visit to Riverstone — touring the facility, asking questions, and learning everything we could — we all agreed it would be the perfect place. I’m so thrilled to say that it turned out to be exactly as perfect as we had hoped. From the moment she arrived, she was warmly welcomed and treated with the utmost respect. Managers Traci and Rob were amazing to work with — warm, inviting, and genuinely committed to making everyone feel at home. We always had peace of mind knowing the building was well-managed by caring and professional staff. Special thanks go to the two Rachels (fondly known as Rachel 1 and Rachel 2), who were always responsive, helpful, and attentive to any questions, concerns, or requests. They went above and beyond, every time. Communication was always excellent. Riverstone has a wonderful mix of ages among residents, keeping the community vibrant. There’s also a wide variety of activities and events, so our mother was often “busier” than we were! Yet she could always find peace and comfort in her own apartment when she wanted. She thrived at Riverstone — developing great friendships, enjoying celebrations, and participating in outings and activities. She had everything she needed to live her final years happily and comfortably. More than once, we wondered how different things might have been if we had convinc

I really like living at Riverstone, the people are nice and easy to be with. I like the food and staff that prepares it knows what they are doing. I really like the activities, they are fun and interesting. I enjoy the live entertainment. I like when housekeeping comes each week and cleans my apartment. They have transportation to the store and appointments. I really like the staff and everyone is super helpful. Everyone is positive and I’m glad that I live here. I am happy to wake up and be here.

A realistic quality place for providing a structured and sheltered environment for yourself or a family member or two where they can live comfortably amid a group of similar retired people who have similar problems and needs with activities designed to provide the needed exercise, therapies, social integration, and peaceful indoor and outdoor opportunities to live an easier life in an appropriate style with fewer stresses. Assistance can be provided on an individual basis through the two nursing groups providing the needed care and therapies on site when possible, or coordinated with nearby medical hospital and medical services required when needed. Meals and snacks are available on site, or those able may fix their own meals to eat in their apartment or the dining room. Tables or separate room is available for reservations for special family events. Riverstone hosts many activities that are open for family and friends. Meals and some other activities may have a nominal cost for non-residents. Many activities are resident guided and new activities can be coordinated with the staff. Theater with movies and some in-house productions keep the community entertained. The library and cable TV provider more individualized choices. There are many games and craft classes for variety. Exercise classes and videos enable full use of the Exercise Center. Quiet meeting rooms or fun outside picnics and parties can help keep the days interesting. Because everyone has different needs and interests, a personal visit to Riverstone should be scheduled to view the facilities and features offered in this thriving part of the metropolitan area, yet close to almost any that you might need. Don't take a chance in choosing a place. Take a look and be amazed.
