Anthology Senior Living

We have been very happy with our experience at Anthology and think they are doing a good job. I would recommend and already have.

My Dad was a resident at Travanse Living in Olathe, KS. From the moment he arrived, he was made to feel welcomed and loved. From the administrative staff to the nurses, from the aids to the maintenance staff, from the housekeeping staff to food service personnel, he was treated as if he was a member of their family. We will be forever grateful to Travanse personnel for how special they made Dad feel. Thank you for all you did for him!

My father was a resident at Travanse. The care he received was exceptional. All staff members, from the chefs to the aids, from the maintenance staff to housekeeping, from the RNs to the administration treated him with so much love and respect. He blossomed and thrived while there. From the minute we walked through the front door, we could tell this facility was truly different than others we visited. My family will be forever grateful to the team at Travanse for all they did for Dad and how special they made him feel.

My dad moved into Travanse Living earlier this year, and he loves it. The staff is great. They take good care of him, and treat him very kindly. They continue to go to his room to invite him to the activities, even though he's a little resistant. Several times when I was bringing someone to see him, the staff adjusted their schedule to help me get him "freshened up" for the visit. Recently, I mentioned that I needed to remember to call him when his teams are playing so he can watch the games, and they said I could call them if he didn't answer his phone, and they'd go turn on the game for him. The nursing staff has been very helpful also, discussing his meds, and how he is doing.

My mother's dementia identified her need for a memory care placement. We learned of Travanse through the daughter of one of my mother's dear friends. The staff is very present, competent and encouraging, with demonstrated leadership in their training and administration. They have encouraged my mother to do those tasks she was resisting, and provide both structure and attention that result in my mother being noticeably calmer since she feels secure. The staff has also supported the reconnection of my mother and her dear friend in a way that is heartwarming. They sit and visit at a table by the window during the day, similar to their times at my mother's kitchen table. At night they visit and support one another in a way that has stilled my mother's bouts of "night frights". This placement has given the rare gift of peace of mind to my family that Mother is happy and secure, and has been an answer to our prayers.

My Dad lived at Travanse Senior Living for a very short time. We found the staff and surroundings to be way more than we could have ever hoped. We needed to move Dad to a different facility for financial reasons, as well as medical. But the folks who tried to make it work for Dad at Travanse went well above the normal and expected. We are grateful for the love and care given to him during his 7 day stay there. Besides being a beautiful place, the workers we encountered truly cared about Dad and our family as a whole. I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to families looking for a good place for a loved one with memory care needs. I could not rate the activities highly because we really didn't have time to evaluate them. The calendar displayed looked like many options would have been available to Dad, but he wasn't able to take advantage because of his own issues.

It costs a lot, but it's the best place for my dad. Nothing further

I'd say it's a fine facility that keeps the residents in good hands. I do think some communications fell through the cracks, though.

Everyone is capable and talented. But weekend staffing challenges often impact the resident experience. I would recommend the facility - with the recommendation that the potential resident have an offsite family member/sponsor consistently helping to oversee care.

Very nice facility. Clean, well kept. Lots of amenities. Family involvement in memory care is phenomenal. Hands on staff, overall, is very dedicated and hardworking and loving. Chronically understaffed (like everywhere) but it's getting better. Upper management isn't great so they lose a lot of good staff.

It feels and smells clean, I love that. However the responsiveness to maintenance issues needs to be improved. I also loved how close it is to our house.

The place is fairly expensive but has a wide range of levels of care and activities. It suited my mother well during her last couple of months of life. We picked the community because of its location, it's thoughtful staff, and range of support.

Very good staff who care. It was chosen primarily because of nearby location. I would recommend to others.

It is modern and feels much like a hotel walking in and not an "old folks place". It is very clean and well organized. [name removed], our Sales person, was very passionate and engaged with us from the beginning. Her follow up was by far the best! People smile and I spent enough time there to watch the care attendants with people - they were kind and caring and respectful. The food is in transition, I believe and definitely needs some work. It is the main complaint my parents have

Anthology is a newer facility, beautiful inside and out. The shared spaces are well planned and generous. The apartments are nice with adequate space, some with balconies overlooking a fabulous courtyard. Staffing is sometimes an issue, and that ebbs and flows. Their Activities Director is clearly very invested in delivering a great experience for the residents. High quality and plentiful activities are Anthology's strongest attribute, making it easy for residents to be engaged, stimulated, and to meet others. The location is ideal, immediately adjacent to Blue Ash's Summit Park and good restaurants. Being somewhat new, there are still some kinks to work out, but I would recommend Anthology when comparing it to many of its peers.

I would recommend. You have the park outside with all of their activities. Restaurants within walking distance. The facility is trying very hard. They have the same issues as others with retaining good staff. They have monthly meeting to get input from their residents. My loved one chose this community, and because of the location, facility, and they offered Memory Care and Assisted Living.

It was new, lovely and bright with nice and differing common areas. They have a pool, decent activities, sales person was engaging, staff friendly, lots of people milling around, bistro for coffee, snacks, beverages and sandwiches. Beautiful courtyard and catholic service with communion weekly.PT and OT are very good, staff is very nice but they are understaffed as are all places and it can take awhile for someone to answer call bell. Facility is clean and well maintained but room cleaning is spotty. Residents are generally engaging. My husband is very happy there. Food leaves a bit to be desired but nice that dining is open all day and there is a menu you can always order from along with daily specials. Activities tend to be more female oriented, again all facilities have this issue.

Meals for independent residents is too bland, to soft, not appetizing. How many ways can you make hamburger? Ask the chef.

I didn't care for Anthology. Although aesthetically pleasing, the atmosphere seemed dreary almost. Figured that maybe the vast majority of residents receive a high level of care. My aunt's not "there" - yet.

The facility is very nice. The common areas are clean, bright and modern. The administrative staff is competent, friendly, easy to access and helpful. The dining room is lovely and the food is good with many choices. Overall the care staff is very good. One problem is that the care staffing is not enough, but that is common at all these senior living places. Overall my parents have had a very good experience at Anthology.
