Evolve Senior Living

We really like that Cadence Lakewood is a smaller size community - the staff members are able to have more of that one on one time with the residents and give them more of a personal touch, even the care givers can agree. They have plenty of activities for the residents to do - different exercise classes, arts and crafts and they even make bracelets.

They have some normal staffing shortages, but it's a lovely place - clean, cheery, bright. I would highly recommend it.

I love living at Novel Place Senior Living. They are reasonable and have so many activities. The food is delicious, and the staff is amazing and so helpful.

We all had a great time at the Novel Place Oktoberfest event! The musical entertainment was amazing and authentic. It was a very successful event for all to enjoy! Such a fun day.

I am an entertainer that does presentations at Novel Place in Overland Park. I have been to many retirement communities over the past fifteen years. The impression I got when entering the front door was the elegance and beauty of the interior architecture, which continues throughout the building. A very friendly atmosphere. I have talked to residents, and they raved about how they like living there. It is also an ideal location, close to shopping and other amenities.

My mom moved to Novel Place a few months ago and we both feel blessed to have found this wonderful community. The staff at Novel Place are kind, supportive and understanding. Their warm and sincere interactions are what convinced my mom to make this milestone move. My mom lived alone for twenty plus years, so she was a bit anxious to move to this type of living situation. The staff did a fantastic job making sure she was getting connected to the other residents and learning her new environment without overwhelming her. The food, activities, and cheerful environment have been great for my mom. I can’t recommend Novel Place Senior Living enough. If you are searching for a place for yourself or a loved one I would add this place to your list.

The Cadence Lakewood has been great so far, we really like how friendly the staff members have been, they have just been great with our loved one and super patient. We would recommend this community to other families based on our experience. We do wish they could encourage our loved one to get involved more with all the different activities they have going on throughout the week.

Very happy. I would like to see iron fencing on north south and back of Novel Place to prevent people from cutting through from apartments in rear of novel. Not safe for walking residents and dog walkers.

Very good. Except sometimes the food is not very good. Sunday buffets are great. They finally added more milk to the potatoes which helped immensely. We are tired of pork loin. The pie was great - also the cookies. Ham was good. The side salad should not be put on hot plate or with that food. The green beans need help. [name removed] and the new waiters are doing very good.

Activities - abundant and fun and wonderful variety. Facility - well arranged, convenient, and well maintained. Staff - friendly, personal and helpful. Food - good, nice variety. I am so glad I am living here!

Truly enjoy living here. I try to participate in as many activities as possible. The residents here are friendly and welcoming! Your staff have all been very helpful and polite.

Lived on [removed] floor for 16 years.

I have lived here approximately 3 months. The rooms are great. If there is a problem, maintenance is always willing to help. All staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The kitchen puts out great food. The days are busy because of the activities director. This is now my forever home.

My husband & I moved into Novel Place Senior Living in January of this year and are absolutely thrilled with it. First of all the staff is outstanding and helps you in so many ways.. We consider them our friends. Speaking of friends, we have met so many wonderful people who have become dear friends and extended family. The activities are on going & very diverse, exciting and something for everyone!! We are hoping to be here for many more years and would highly recommend Novel Place to every senior.

A great place - fun activities you can choose to go to - a beautiful facility with plenty of places to meet people - love the porch - library, sitting in rockers, fireplace in the winter. Meeting new friends, staff is exemplary - willing to listen and help!

Just a quick note to thank you for working so hard to make Novel Place such a good home for all of us. you have great staff! Love the entertainment [name removed] provides for us.

It was so difficult to sell our home and downsize to a small apartment. However, we have not missed owning our own home once in the year we have been here. The management team is incredible and try their best to meet our needs. Everyone is friendly and support one another. I highly recommend Novel Place as a wonderful answer to the loneliness of living in your own home. Everyone here provides friendship and support for one another.

We had a great experience with Azpira Place Lake Zurich. They have a very lively and energetic atmosphere. There is a high level of energy from not only residents but staff as well. There was always a lot of participation in the activities. They seemed to do a lot of group activities, parties, events, etc. Or if you just wanted to watch a movie, you had a whole movie room you could watch it in. As soon as we walked in we knew this was the place, you could feel the energy when you walk in and that is exactly what she needed at the time. We wish that she could have stayed here but she ended up needing more care after her fall. I would highly recommend them and already have to many others.

This is an excellent place if your family member is relatively healthy. If they need a bit more medical oversight or have medication changes you'll want to keep close tabs. The staff is very kind and those who have longevity are great. Several staffers were not familiar with how to manage oxygen and that was a concern.

There are many considerations when finding a new home for a parent. Our search was complete after locating Novel Place in Overland Park. Our mother was reluctantly moving from her home of 55 years. So her check-off list was long. She loves the warm community of residents and staff in a gorgeous independent living facility. She chose a lovely 2-bedroom apartment with brand new decor, with a fenced patio overlooking a courtyard. After a year and a half, she has experienced a very responsive staff, with a very active social calendar of activities. Conveniently she has seen a visiting eye-doctor, a podiatrist, and is able to get flu shots and vaccines on site. Novel Place has been a warm and welcoming place that she now calls home. We can rest easy knowing that her safety and security are provided at Novel Place.
