WHAT A BLESSING TO FIND VILLA ST FRANCIS! Our mom was a rehab patient here for 6 weeks while…read morerecovering from knee surgery. After having experienced other rehab facilities, we were so grateful to have found this facility and team. Our onboarding meeting was buttoned up, informative, and covered ALL the bases. The entire team delivered wonderful, wonderful care -- a MAJOR change from where we had done rehab previously which was heartbreaking and on the verge of downright negligent. Major bonus points for the food and expansive menu, which our mom said was consistently delicious (again, unlike other places where she could barely stomach what was served). I was also so impressed with how clean the entire facility was, and how attentive they were to keeping our mom's bed + clothing + linens always clean (any accidents were dealt with IMMEDIATELY). The staff truly cares about the patients and residents. They're doing God's work, and they have wonderful hearts. You can feel at peace knowing your loved one will truly get the best care.

My mom was here for a few days and was very happy with the dispositions and attitudes of the staff…read morehere. She reports that caregivers were very kind and professional in their interactions with her. The downside was that during the night there was not adequate staffing to promptly meet the needs of all the residents. Due to this less than optimal night time caregiver to patient ratio she sometimes had to wait too long for assistance to the bathroom. This is the sole reason I'm not offering more stars in this review. My mother had to be transferred to another facility for reasons unrelated to Shawnee PARC, and manager Brianna was enormously helpful with this transition. Brianna helped my brother and I locate another suitable facility and coordinated the transfer process. That relieved us of a great deal of stress because prior to Brianna's assistance we'd be under the (erroneous) impression that our mother had no options left for the level of care she needs.

Our 92 year-old father/grandfather/father-in-law chose Parks Meadow for moving into a senior…read morefacility last Fall (2022). He eventually moved to Parks Meadow in January of 2023; however, it was recommended that he reserve his unit by paying the December 2022 rent. Unfortunately, soon after his move he became ill, hospitalized and passed away in mid-February, 2023. His stay at Park Meadows was only 3 1/2 weeks (late January to mid-February). The family paid March rent as we needed time to remove his belongings from the unit. In all, we paid 4 month's rent for his short stay. Another part of his "singing" up for Park Meadows was a "one time non-refundable" Community Fee - in this case $10,000 listed on page 40 of a 52-page lease agreement. It was explained that the Community Fee would lower his rent over his stay at Park Meadows. The family requested that Park Meadows refund at least part of the Community Fee. as his unit was only used a short time and he did not get a chance to use dining or any other facility amenities. Obviously, the family is very disappointed, and surprised, on the position Park Meadows is taking. Although there is no legal recourse, we find it unethical for Park Meadows to keep all of the "Community Fee" as his residence was so short in time. In speaking to the business officer at the facility, she could only say "it's out of my hands" and "I completely understand". In the end, it feels like a 92 year old man was taken advantage of with a very long and detailed lease agreement and an insensitive corporate entity.

We had a horrible experience. One night there was a nurse that was so incredibly rude and…read moredismissive to both myself and my mom (the patient) that I spent the night because I didn't trust the nurse to give my mom the care she deserved. I asked for that nurse to not care for my mom in the future. That worked for a few days, but one night she was having issues and that same nurse was in her room. My mom would push the call button and wait for a long time before anyone would come. She waited on the toiltet one time before someone came to help her back to bed. Her pain meds were often given to her an hour later than expected, which would then be hard to get her pain managed. Her room was dirty and i never saw anyone clean it. There were a few caring people. Amanda as a great nurse. Matt was so kind when giving my mom meds. Be aware of Susan, a nurse there. Not only was she horrible to my mom, but I witnessed her being awful to another patient. That was when I knew my mom's horrible experience wasn't the only one. Even when they said she was a valuable nurse.

My daughter was visiting and took a tour of the facilities and told us she'd move here but her teenage son might not fit in. When time came that we were at risk living in our townhouse, my daughter said it was time to go to BSP. We moved in Nov. 2020 and have been in awe ever since. The apartments are large and well designed. The kitchen was an upgrade from what we had. The staff was very helpful in arranging and advising with the move. Everyone here at BSP is polite, friendly and helpful. Anything you want done personally or to your apartment they are glad and ready to help. The van service from here to St. Luke's is a blessing The food from PB&J is much better than we expected (you have a food allowance included in your monthly payment) and we have yet to spend all of our allowance. Being a resident here is way more than we hoped for. Our only regret is that we didn't move here sooner.
