Best Place to live out your last years. Everything is provided and very comfortable. Has extended care when needed right on campus. Great emergency care without calling 911. Meals have variety of offerings for each meal and is changed monthly. I have not had a meal I did not like. Lived here three years and am very happy.

My grandparents are in Tallgrass Creek. They live in the independent section of it. It's very nice, clean, and bright. The actual place looks very nice. It was open, it reminded me more of a nice resort. It smelled good. The staff was very helpful, I got lost the first time, and they went out of their way. Another time my grandparents needed help with something, and they were right there.

Tallgrass Creek was a nice facility and it was one of our first choices to look at, but there are two of us. My sister and I needed a two-bedroom apartment with two good size bedrooms and they just didn't have anything that would accommodate us. They'd have one good size bedroom and then the other one was small. The staff was very nice and very knowledgeable and they went out of their way to show us things trying to find something that we needed, but we just couldn't find it.

Tallgrass Creek Senior Living Community is very modern, up-to-date, very clean, and beautiful. The staff is wonderful, very professional, and very nice. They have a lot of exercises. They probably have 10 different groups every day for physical activity based on whatever your abilities are. They have a Parkinson's group, too, that meets twice a week, and that is really good for my mom. Everything is limited because of COVID, so they don't have everything right now, but they have small group meetings, Bible studies, and church groups.

I think I'm choosing right now Tallgrass Creek. I visited it personally. We are really impressed with the quality of services, all the amenities including swimming pool and walking trails, and all other facilities. Their apartments are still not constructed; they're under construction. We picked one size right now, but we will not be able to see them in November or December. I didn't meet the staff. I met only the marketing lady, and I was really impressed with her performance. The building was very well-maintained, very clean, and very impressive.

I toured Tallgrass Creek. It was a good experience. I like it very much. It was very clean, very up-to-date, very modern and very nice. All the apartments had washers and dryers in them. However, as far as cleaning services, you had to pay extra to get that. I liked the location. They had nice facilities. They had a pool and a gym area, which I like. The dining area was very nice.

Don’t let your loved ones live at Tallgrass Creek! They placed my 84 year old mom in an ambulance in the middle of the night, barely conscious, and never called any of her family, living minutes away and fully active in her life. She spent hours in the ER and ICU by herself. I still anguish over this.

Tallgrass Creek was good. It was OK, but it was probably not one I would choose for my dad. It's a great place, but it is not what we would be looking for. The rooms are apartments, and they're meant very much for independent living. They're pretty typical of an apartment.

Tallgrass Creek has a nice layout and a very nice complex of buildings. The people working there were very intelligent, very welcoming, and very easy to get along with. The food was exceptional, and the chef was very good. They had group meals and all kinds of activities, like cards, exercising, and a pool. The rooms were very modern and pretty open. However, they have a very long wait list.

I would not have any complaints about Tallgrass Creek other than the location, which was not good for us. We did not see anyone unhappy.

We were greeted very warmly at Tallgrass Creek. They gave time and were very willing to work with us for my mother. Everything was very nice, new, and clean. You have to pay for house cleaning, but there is laundry in every apartment. My mom said she felt like she is at home. It was a really a beautiful thing for us.

We visited Tallgrass Creek. The place was beautiful, but it didn't provide the services that we need. It was a wonderful place. If you want to live in congregate living, it would be fine. It is nearly new, and it is four years old, so everything about it has a very upscale, updated atmosphere about it. It is also probably one of the most expensive in the area, and consequently there were all types of details in their unit that you wouldn't necessarily find in moderately priced facilities.

We chose Tallgrass Creek because of the location, amenities, and pricing. The staff was very helpful, well-trained, and competent. The rooms are very modern and up-to-date and were more spacious than the others we visited. The dining room was comparable to other facilities.
