The Best In Senior Living

I went to visit my friend at Novel Place. This was so nice and welcoming I was taken aback. Was not expecting the gracious staff and very beautiful interior. The other residents were just as gracious as the staff. I was happy to know my friend lives in a beautiful, safe and welcoming environment. Not many like this place! Thank you Novel Place!!!

Lovely facility!

I recently came to visit my aunt who moved in not too long ago. I was very impressed with this facility. She was originally scared to move into a senior living facility but since moving in has expressed how comfortable she is and how great the community is. She always has something to do and someone to be with if she pleases. Not to mention the 10/10 lunch I had during my visit! Definitely would recommend this place to my loved ones

Wonderful atmosphere!

Our Father moved to Novel Place this past summer and it has proved to be a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is very friendly, the community made him feel welcome and he has settled in. He participates in and enjoys the exercise classes through the week. The office, cleaning and meal staff are always friendly and helpful. They have an onsite physical therapy company that he has been able to use through his insurance and that has been very helpful as well. Recommend!

What a wonderful place to live!

I recently visited my good friend at Novel Place Overland Park. What a wonderful place! My friend is extremely happy here. I was amazed at how pretty the community is. The staff was so friendly and seemed to know everyone by name. I had dinner and the food was delicious and well presented. My friend says it feels like family here and i can see why. I would recommend Novel Place to anyone who is looking for a warm community with attentive staff, great friends and lots to do.

Searching for an Independent Senior Apartments with amenities similar to a hotel, I found Novel Place and was very impressed with the reviews. Had a meeting with [removed name], Director of Sales and Marketing. When I arrived, I noticed they were setting up for their Independence Day celebration and there was an exercise group busy in the center. The meeting was comfortable and very informative. [removed name] is a true Professional, very personable, with excellent knowledge of and background in this business area. The meeting was very enjoyable, and [removed name] took time to answer any and all questions. Many homelike amenities, Restaurant Style Dining, Vibrant Activities Program, Transportation, Concierge Services, 24 Hour Maintenance, Health and Wellness Programs. [removed name] took me on an extensive tour of the premises, with a visit to the apartments offered, dining areas, rooms available for family visits. Very impressed with Novel Place and will be revisiting it when the time comes for my next step.

Beautiful facility

I have two friends who have chosen to live at Novel Place, and each time I visit I secretly think this too will be my future home when I make the decision to move. I have enjoyed having dinner in the dining room and experienced not only a delicious meal, but the liveliness of the residents’ chatter and laughter. All in all, Novel Place is just a beautiful facility located near many restaurants and shopping for the convenience of residents.

Love Novel Place

He's all -he's very happy there. Everyone is very nice, responsive and helpful. He uses some of the home health services and they are great. Novel Place is clean, comfortable and well run. Gives us great peace of mind to know he is well cared for.

Review for Novel Place Overland Park

The staff was wonderful from the moment we walked in the door. Very helpful, focused on my mother and not me, and offered suggestions of where they thought my mother would fit in when it came to activities. They offered many activities which intrigued my mother as well. The facility was very very clean and didn't have any offensive odors. The menu was very broad in its offerings with enough options my mother was comfortable with knowing she had plenty to choose from. I really can't think of anything negative that stood out.

I could not be happier!

I've lived here 2 years. The staff is always friendly & extremely supportive. The building is very well kept and clean. There are as many activities as anyone would want or as much privacy that you might want. I've met some great friends! I enjoy dinner with friends and the options are fantastic. The staff goes all out for special events and making holidays extra special. I could not be happier with my Novel Place community.

overall a nice community.

What I like the most about Novel Place is the friendliest and open bright front and dining area. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families as long as they understand that there is no generator in case of a loss of electricity. Really an oversight by management.

I'd recommend the community as long as they were not a picky eater. The food was not that good. But the place was gorgeous and the staff was so kind. We picked this community because the cost was the deciding factor.
