Brookdale Rosehill was really beautiful. It was clean. It had a lot of amenities. It had skilled nursing attached to it. I liked it. It was nice. I liked the rooms. It reminded me of what my mother has now. I like their bathroom and the shower. It's larger. I just like their setup better. They seem more organized than where she is now. I thought the carpet was nice, but the view was not so much. The room looked to another building. The lighting was good. It was nice. I thought their activities were a lot nicer. They had more things for the residents to do. It was a bigger facility, so of course, they could do more. They had a chapel on site with church services, which my mom would probably really appreciate. They had a doctor that was on call 24/7 and I like that. They had a lab there where they actually could do a urinalysis and maybe a blood draw, so they didn't have to send everything out. I met the director, and she seemed good, organized, and informative, so I liked her.

Diabetics should NOT stay here. They do not have much food that you can eat. This facility has a duty to care for the dietary needs of their diabetic residents. I will file a complaint with the Kansas Long-Term Care Ombudsman and the Dept. for Aging & Disability.

I really liked Brookdale Rosehill. They had more than ample activities for anybody. I would like to live there. It was like a little town setting inside a facility. The menu looked really good with a lot of options. The staff that I met was very informative.

My parents are in Brookdale Rosehill. They like the decor and love the food. They have many activities that they're planning to do. I can transition my father from this particular facility to the long-term care right next door. The staff picks up and gives my dad his medication, assists him to the wheelchair and brings him to dinner, and if he's not feeling well enough, they'll bring the dinner to him. They have an exercise room, a theater with nice chairs, places where they can put puzzles together and read books, little nooks and crannies, and gazebos outside. They do their laundry for them, people come and do their nails, and they have a salon. The staff is very friendly. The only thing I complain about is maintenance. If you ask for something, you might not get it that day. My parents have a one-bedroom apartment, which is small. They have crafts, singing, and Bingo. They're high priced, but my father is getting a lot for that.

My Grandma was at Brookdale Rosehill for a couple of weeks. The nursing staff was friendly. The facility is beautiful. Our social worker was extremely helpful. The physical therapy got her to work on her good leg. I would gladly recommend this facility to anyone.

This place is understaffed or complacent. It takes hours to get help into a room. No one ever answers the phone when you call to get help. Even calls to the Assistant director , got almost no action. My relative has laid in feces for hours, several times before someone comes to help. Nursing staff, completely ignored his allergies and administrated medications that he was allergic to. Nursing staff, understand little about dosing and administrating medication. Obviously there are good one, those specific individuals are a light to a very dark existence A family member must be there almost around the clock to get adequate care and make sure they are fed. To get a bed ridden individual bathed it has to be special request. I could go on an on..

Brookdale Rosehill was a nice, clean place with a lot of nice stuff.

My father is in Brookdale Rosehill. We choose it because it is close to my sister. I think the staff is good. I really like the place. It is very homey, is nice and clean. He really likes the meal. They even have a chef that makes cakes on Fridays and he really enjoys that.

Mom spent 2 weeks at Sweet Life Rehab and went home after that. They were excellent. The care was very good, and the rehab was great. People were very courteous and friendly. They have a lot of perks. They have cappuccino machines available to the guests and to their families, and popcorn is always available. There were lots of activities for the seniors. They had bingo, word search, and people came in to the assisted living. People from the rehab were welcome to attend as well. I would highly recommend them.

At first, Sweet Life was very nice when my mother-in-law lived there. After five years, they switched management and it went downhill. My mother-in-law complained about the food. She passed away two years ago. They have rooms that people live in, and somebody comes in every so often to clean the rooms and change the bed sheets, butI think they could have done a better job. They kept what the public sees very clean, but the apartments could have been cleaner.

The high point for me in Sweet Life Rosehill was their nursing unit because they had private rooms. The dining area was very acceptable. It was clean. However, I just don't think it had a pleasant environment. I just didn't like it. I didn't like the décor and my mom wasn't crazy about it either. I didn't like their long term care unit. It seemed as though they had low functioning folk there in their long-term care unit. It didn't feel homey to me. It didn't had the same warmth or sense of community. The staff seemed very nice and professional.

My mom was treated very well at the Sweet Life at Rosehill. She was very pleased and even looked 10 years younger. The staff was phenomenal, too.

I visited my grandmother at this wonderful establishment in Shawnee Kansas. The first thing you notice upon entering is how well they have maintained and kept the gardens outside, there is a real attention to detail. When you go into the facility, the friendly staff is more than willing to help you with any questions or show you around, they all keep great smiles on their faces and are very friendly to you. I found the carpets to be imaculately clean, as well as everything else, and that the elderly there were very happy and always seemed to be coming or going to some event or game with big grins on their happy faces. Also the food was suprisingly good, as I have tasted some bad food in "rest homes" before, and I was glad to know that they were giving my grandmother excelent treatment and she was receiving the nutritious meals she so needs in her poor health. The rooms were well-equipped with color television sets and nice views of the outdoors. Each room also had an air conditioning which was very important during our hot summer visit. We sat with our grandmother and enjoyed the friendly company of both the staff and the other elderly living there at the assisted living center, and I had to say it was a very enjoyable experience and put my heart at ease that she was receiving the proper and happy care I so want for her to have. I would recommend this fine establishment for anyone who is considering going into an assisted living situation or has a loved one who they can no longer care for as was the case with me. If you live in the Kansas area, or the Shawnee area to be more specific, take a drive up to Sweet Life and take a look for yourself, I doubt you will be disappointed in this fantastic home for your loved one.

The Sweet Life Rosehill facility is a sister facility to another, smaller, Brookdale facility about a mile away which caters specifically to Alzheimer's and Dementia patients. The facility at Rosehill is larger, and offers three separate levels of care, including Assisted Living. The interior of this facility is very nicely appointed, in the style of a luxury apartment community, and seems very clean and well-maintained. There are a number of smaller common spaces, such as an aviary room, as well as a couple of larger common areas for group activities planned each day. The rooms at this facility are a decent size, but the Assisted Living component does not offer two-bedroom apartments, which might be difficult for some couples. I did not meet many staff members, but my tour guide was genuinely friendly and upbeat. I felt that the residents were more active in this facility than they were in some others I have visited, so it might be a good match for people want a busier community. The management of the Sweet Life facilities appears to be very good in general, with a full schedule of activities and events for residents, as well as smaller spaces for more individualised activity. I would definitely recommend this facility for a loved one.
