Kingswood Resident Testimonials
"The continuum of care at Kingswood did influence our decision to move here. My husband and I become convinced that knowing we have access to continuing care for the rest of our lives provides security - and it means a lot to our children, too."
- Joned Slover, Villa Resident Since 2000
"I enjoy the activities here at Kingswood. Sometimes I think I participate in too many! I'm chairman of the Kingswood Foundation, chairman of the finance committee of the resident association, and chairman of the men's club. I have a lot of activities I'm involved inside and outside of Kingswood..."
- El Slover, Villa Resident Since 2000
"I looked at quite a few senior living communities but the minute I came in the front door at Kingswood there was an atmosphere, or a feeling, or what we might call "chi" that was different from any of the others. That is what attracted me first."
- Donna Claire Sanders, Resident Since 2006
"Kingswood is very convenitently located. You can get almost anywhere in the greater Kansas City area from here in about 15 minutes. Plus, all of our family is in Overland Park. We also enjoy the "feel" of the Kingswood community. We know all of our neighbors in the villas and get together frequently. It is a real community."
- John Younger, Resident Since 2003
"Initially we didnt think of Kingswood because we lived in Kansas and we wanted to stay in Kansas. But one day our children reminded us of how much "Grandpa and Grandma" really liked it here. When we looked at Kingswood, we were thrilled because the villas were new and the community just offered all kinds of opportunities. Now I can't think of being anywhere else."
- Martha Younger, Resident Since 2003
"One thing that I tell people about that speaks well for Kingswood is the number of staff people who have been here for a long time...I think it is remarkable in this day and age when people change careers so quickly."
- Joey Kintigh, Resident Since 2003
"We came to Kingswood, partly because we had a lot of friends who were already situated here, but the continuum of care was also very important to us. We find it most enjoyable living here at Kingswood. I think that is is a very warm, receptive community."
- Ellen Richardson, Resident Since 2007
"I recently told someone that, for someone who is retired, I seem to stay pretty busy. I'm a volunteer in the gift shop, the Piccadilly, I'm on the food committe and the social committe. One unique thing, though, I found a friend that lives two blocks away and he invited me to help with his garden. So, last year I returned to something that I had to do as a kid that I didn't enjoy but I love doing now!"
- Joe Richardson, Resident Since 2007
"We felt confident coming to Kingswood because my husband served on the board here when Kingswood was first opened. We knew people then who were on the board who now live here, so I had good friends here. I knew it was a good place to be for many reasons. It was easy to make friends when I first moved here because I think this is a very caring community. It's like an extended family. I knew people at Kingswood and I was very pleased to be welcomed into all of the activities by all of the people who were here."
"I use the Kingswood dining room practically every evening for the evening meal. I've also used it at lunch for guests and I like to eat breakfast at Kingswood. The buffets are good and the refreshments we have at special events are delicious."
- Joyce Owen, Resident Since 2007
