I toured White Oaks at The Groves Senior Living Community. I met Al, and he showed me 2 buildings for independent living. They had a nice selection of books. They had a community area with a pool. There was a game room, a TV room, a movie room, and a craft room.

I am moving in at White Oaks at The Groves Senior Living Community. I chose this place mainly for the price, but it's also a decent place to live. They didn't have all the amenities that I was hoping for, but I think that's going to improve because I talked to the guy that's in charge of everything now, and he had a good feeling about it. I only met him and he just seemed like he was on top of everything and had some good ideas for the place and cared. They had an exercise room that had one thing in it. I think they can improve on a lot of things. But I also think that this guy just started and I think he's going to try to bring it back to the glory days. It's pretty centrally located in Independence, so it's close to downtown.

I liked White Oaks at The Groves Senior Living Community. When you go out of your apartment, you get a nice view and I enjoyed that. The rooms looked good and adequate. They had a kitchen with a stove and a refrigerator, but you had to supply everything else. They had a swimming pool in the middle around all the rooms and they had activities available like card games. Everything there was adequate. The staff who assisted me with the tour was very nice. He was the maintenance man, so he was in a hurry.

We toured White Oaks at The Groves Senior Living Community. It was a nice walk-through. The places themselves were clean and very nice. The people that I spoke with were very nice as well. If it had been a proper fit, it would have been perfect for my brother. The staff who accommodated us was a nice person. She was informative and gave me all the information I needed. She was very helpful. She showed me a one-bedroom apartment. It was a very nice facility.

White Oaks at The Groves Senior Living Community seemed very nice and well kept, and it's very large. The apartments were also very nice. It was a quiet area. I liked that it was set back from the road. The staff was very helpful and very friendly. There were appliances in the apartment. There was a stove, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher.

White Oaks at The Groves Senior Living Community was fine and we liked it very much. It's just that the location of the neighborhood wasn't ideal. It wasn't close to amenities and it wasn't the safest neighborhood. The upkeep was good and they were all very nice. We toured their independent living and the person who assisted us was very helpful, answered all of our questions, and was very personable. We saw a pool and shuffleboard but that wasn't something we were interested in.

It seems to be well-maintained, has friendly staff, has a variety of levels of care with add-on services. They have a pool, a wood-working shop, game rooms, TV rooms, theater, and balconies on many of the independent living units. It was a nice facility. I've only met one staff so far and she's 5 out of 5.

My sister will be moving into The Groves. Our experience has been really good. The lady that's doing all the applications, and everything else is really nice. We've been really happy with it. Maintenance and cleanliness have been good.

Daughter of beloved Mom

My mother has been a patient at The Groves for over 4 years now. Recently she was attacked by a male patient in the "lock down" unit on the 2nd floor of the Rosewood Long-term Care building. I have requested that the man who attacked her be moved elsewhere at The Groves, and out of the unit where my Mom is trying to live out the rest of her life. The Groves has not moved this man. He is still occupying a room just down the hall from my mother. Although I believe the nursing staff on the floor are genuinely fond of my mother, the administrators have told me they have to "consider what is best for the other person as well as what is best for my mother." If I had POA, I would move my mother from this ungodly situation. The administrators do not care about the patients.

It is a new and very nice facility. It's a campus so people of the same health issues are in one building and people of a different health issue are in another building. The prices were pretty high. The grounds are very well-groomed and had plenty of parking and handicap spaces.

We have our relative at The Groves. After our initial tour, we are satisfied with the accommodations, and we made arrangements for her to become a resident there. They offer several activities. They have game rooms and a commune type TV room where they show movies. They have bingo and jigsaw puzzles. They have occasional outings. She gets 3 meals a day -- breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have transportation for doctor’s appointments or whatever appointments you may have. They provide daily cleaning of the room and once a week laundry service for the residents.

The Groves had full continuum of care. The grounds were large, campus-style, and the building that my parents would be in was all on one floor. If mother does have to go to memory care, the continuum of care was adjoining the assisted living, which would allow my father to visit my mother without any interruption or trouble so that was nice.

The Groves has been taken over by Rosewood Health and Rehab. When we first moved my Mother into the Groves with Alzheimers, she was well cared for. She paid a portion of her care (about $56/day) and Medicare paid the rest.. . When Rosewood took over, care gradually began to diminish- still ok, but little by little, the staffing shrank. When she passed away 5 years and $95000.00 (of her portion) later, she did so 6 days into a new month. Her acct. was paid in full up until that point. For the last six days, she ate no food, and lay unresponsive in her bed, attended only by Hospice. Medicare paid her expenses for the six days, and I called and offered to pay the $56/day that she had been paying for 5 years. But suddenly that was not good enough. They sent me a bill for $850.00, because that is "just how we bill". Several phone calls and much frustration later, I accused them of double dipping, attempting to defraud medicare, and trying to profit over my Mothers death. They told me that unless I paid their bogus balance, they would hold all the paintings and pictures I had placed in her room, and not return them to me. The paintings were done by my late father whose hands were ate up with arthritis and painted with love, and are irreplaceable. I just wanted everyone to know what kind of place the Christian Groves has turned into. Beware! As I've incurred unforseen expenses with her burial, I cannot afford to give them 850.00, so I guess I will never get my property back.

My in-laws were happy living at The Groves. The staff were all very pleasant. I’ve stayed there several times. They had a 2-bedroom apartment with a balcony that’s glassed in. They had a storage room and laundering facilities in the basement that they can use free of charge. They had a dining hall across the street, which they access through a tunnel, so they didn’t have to go out in the weather. They had a library and a place where they could use the computer.
The food was quite good. They tried to give well-balanced meals, and they had a choice of what they wanted to eat. They had exercise classes, crafts to do, a swimming pool, bingo and card games, a movie once a week, and they hold church services in the building. They had a van to take them to doctor’s appointments and to the grocery once a week. Once every two weeks, they would take them to Walmart. They would take anybody who wanted to go out to dinner, but they’d have to pay extra. They also have housekeeping services once every two weeks. And once a year, they get their carpet shampooed. It’s an older building, so it’s not as beautiful as some of the newer ones, but they had everything they wanted.

The visit at The Groves was OK. It was a little bit sad because the people there have bodies that may be giving way, but they still know a lot of stuff. The staff does a lot better than the one I used to work at. The workers there used to abuse the patients. They don't do that here at the Groves. They like to read and have games and stuff like that. They also like to talk. I didn't eat there because I don't live too far. The place is really clean, and it is pretty nice.

If you can find another place for your loved one do so. The only reason I give it two stars was because its better then most in the area. My mom who has MS is there and has many UITS and has been in ICU due to them not caring for urinary catheter. As of Nov of 2014 they had Roaches . The place may look clean and the stuff may come off as nice but do not trust it. Since I'm there most of the time I'm able to see what they are really like.
