Allara Senior Living was a godsend for me when I needed respite care for my mom! The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. The director of sales Jennifer Parrilla was warm and kind. The entire staff treated my mom with respect and care. The entire Allara team made me feel comfortable leaving my mom here for respite care! 5 Stars!

Our experience with Allara has been very positive and the staff has been helpful and knowledgeable. The staff has been patient with my mother who has memory problems and can be difficult at times. The food has been quite good as we have dined there a number of times to keep my mother company. The recent Thanksgiving Celebration was excellent and my mother enjoyed it. Onsite medical staff has been very active in keeping us informed about my Mother's day to day status. Overall everyone at Allara has been very helpful and understanding.

I have been living in Allara Senior Living since March, 2021. Allara is a very nice place to live and the staff are amazing. Any time I need someone to get my packages Sandy at the front desk is there to grab them. Any problem I have Sandy is there to answer . The front desk is always there with a smile, no how busy she is serving the residents and visitors at Allara Senior Living. Darlene also suppers over front office on the weekends. Darlene always kids me about my Kansas City football team, which is a lot of fun. Whenever I need to get groceries,etc, Darlene will ensure I get my packages to me. Darlene is always up to help the residents when they play games such as Bingo, etc. Darlene is really fun. Carla transfers the residents to their medical appointments. Carla gets there in time and I feel secure when she drives me to the medical and the occasion shopping trip. I count on her. Carla works with Alexis playing games and memory challenge. Alexis, Vibrant Life Director, is very busy at work. Alexis opens up the Bristo around 2:30 daily and the games start open. Games such as Bingo, Name that tune and charades are played. Memory Challenges are followed along also. Alexis is always there if a resident has a problem, be it, there tv is broken, a question or a personal problem. Alexis always has a smile or a giggle and she is just fun to be around, I am so glad that Alexis is here at Allara and I'm so glad I know her.

My mother has been in Allara's Memory Care facility for a little over a year now. I am very happy with the level of care she is receiving. The place is very clean and the entire staff is very friendly. Even though mom isn't always able to tell us how she is doing, I love how she lights up when the staff, especially Jackie Ruiz, comes to check on her. That reassures me that mom is very happy. Thank you Allara for caring for my mom.

The following members of our staff have been amazing. Vicki has helped me from day one and continues to help me when needed, Alicia is so good with everyone that can't help themselves. KJ is amazing and always smiling. Urma is so good helping with everyone. Aleatha is absolutely amazing and such a sweetheart. Lucy is good. Alex is a great cook and also is amazing at serving us our food too. Maru does our cleaning so good and has helped with serving food in an emergency when she wasn't even asked to, because someone was stuck in traffic and she knew we needed to eat. Veronica has been nothing but amazing at cleaning and making sure everything is good. Mark "The Man" he does it all. Allara would be lost without him. He hears something needs to be fixed he is on it. He is the only one that puts out the balloons and the tour signs every morning and takes them in every afternoon on the days he works. Sandy, Darlene and Carla always greet you with a friendly smile and a hello. Alexis always hits it out of the park. Always going above and beyond with anything and everything we need. From helping us with and teaching us how to use our cell phones, Apple Watches, iPads etc , to playing games with us, to doing our nails, to pulling off an amazing fall festival, to decorating our "home" all year long. To getting us out of our rooms to play games in the bistro, and to laughing and having fun.

Alicia is the best of the best, but other great care givers are Vicky, Chloe, Doll, K.J., Veronica, and Alex. Bless them all. Housekeeper, Maru, is extraordinary.

Update: My mom has lived here for 20 months, she was able to drive at the time of move in, but now no longer drives. Because I live out of state, my mom needed transportation to and from her appointments. I want to recognize Carla, she has been a saint in helping with this monumental task! She is so kind and understanding with my mom! Carla takes my mom to the appointments and brings her back. I can't thank her enough for working with us and always treating my mom with kindness! There are so many workers there that go above and beyond their duties for the residents there! I have called the front desk and spoke to Sandy and Darlene many times and they are very helpful with my concerns or questions. I remember over the summer the electric company had a planned power outage that was going to occur overnight and my mom was not dealing well with it. I called the front desk to tell them I ordered some lanterns online and when they were delivered could they help get them ready and install the batteries. They did that and my mom was so happy to get them, all ready to go for her that night. It's that little extra above and beyond moments that I am thankful for! Alexis and Carla just did the fall festival that occurred on Friday, even though I didn't attend, my mom called me after she attended and was so happy talking about everything that went on; the games, fun activities, wonderful decorations and great company and so much more! She said she hadn't laughed that hard in a long time! Alexis and Carla are fantastic at planning activities, my mom would play upwards scrabble with Alexis and it meant a lot to my mom (and myself), thank you! My mom is a game player and I can't be there to play with her. Again its those little extra above and beyond moments that the employees go to that make a big difference. Marc the handyman has also been really helpful to my mom on maintenance in her apartment. He just recently helped her clean out a diaper genie type contraption that my mom uses for the cats litter box and I was so thankful! He didn't have to do that, but did, thanks Marc! I know there have been employee shortages there, my mom has talked about that. I do believe that there are a lot of companies with shortages and Allara is not immune to this, but I have had some wonderful experiences with the employees there and very much appreciate them! My mom went to a rehab facility after a hospital stay. She needed to be moved into an assisted living facility. I live out of state, it was very hard to do such a thing from far away. But an angel appeared, Scott Marinis at Allara! He was so helpful, kind, empathetic and most of all gave value to my mom. She wasn't just another elderly resident. We were working on a tight timeline and Scott just went above and beyond to get us to move in day! And I still keep in touch with him since my mom moved in. The whole staff at Allara are angels! I wish I could name them all, but the names I remember are Ruth the nurse, Rob a sales director, Anthony with maintenance, LeeAnn the Executive Director and all the staff that are helping my mom everyday and making/serving delicious food!! Thank you all!! My mom tells me every time I talk to her "I love it here!", it just warms my heart to hear this from my mom who has fought the assisted living for years! Thank you Allara!!!!

My mom has been at Allara for about a year and a half now. She has moved to the memory care level. I have been very satisfied that she is well taken care of. The staff is wonderful, especially Jackie! She has the patience of a saint. I don't think we could have made a better choice for her.

Allara and its staff made the difficult transition of moving a loved one into senior living as easy and well taken care of as it can possibly be. The staff is kind, incredibly understanding, and always willing to work with the family to ensure the best type of care for my loved one. I feel confident in our choosing Allara for placement and know my loved one is being well cared for as they adjust. With options for activities, enrichment, and quality staff, this truly was the place we'd been searching for.

We looked at several communities. Jennifer at Allara was most helpful in answering all of our questions. She was beyond gracious in accommodating and working with our family in addressing all the possibilities, concerns and needs. Allara has a clean and modern vibe and both Jennifer and Gabriel are excellent. I would highly recommend this community.

In my work as a senior living placement specialist, I have seen many different approaches and models to assisted living and memory care. I am happy to report that Allara does things right and I have full confidence in recommending their community to both my clients and my friends and family. Allara has a distinct approach to senior living, and it is very obvious — from their sales staff Mindy and Nathan, to their nurse Ruth — they all exhibit the transparency and honesty that is truly needed when making a big decision like placement of a loved one. I've been impressed with the amount of time and dedication given to each member of the family in my recent placement at their community, and of course the attention given to the new resident. I look forward to seeing the community grow and thrive.

When we realized Mom needed to change her living arrangements, Allara had a spot & was able to accommodate her move-in. The staff have been sincere & kind-welcoming her enthusiastically and the greeting brought her to tears. At such a difficult time of transition, it meant the world to have someone pay attention to details she'd shared about her preferences and include something in her welcome that let her know she was seen & appreciated. We're grateful for how they've continued to support her transition. 

My loved one has been in hospitals, facilities, ICUs, urgent cares, and now a LTAC. I knew nothing about this entire elder care field. But, I've taken a crash course in reality over the last 2 months. In 1 well-timed call, Jennifer has provided me with more resources and specific guidance than any of the people at any of the places. Unfortunately, my loved one's health is not stable for this facility. However, if I could I would definitely place him here at Allara.

My Mom has been at Allara over a year now. I am very happy with the care , the food, the housekeeping and maintenance there. It's always clean and maintained by Veronica, Maru and Mark. The front desk is always friendly with thanks to Sandy, Darlene and Carla. Alexis and Carla keep things happening with regular Bingo along with additional activities each month. I am sincerely appreciative of the caregivers in memory care. Special thanks to Mary, Lori, Aurora, Safia, Irma , KJ, Jackie , Cindy, Christin, Monique and Joy (in no special order). You guys are wonderful to me and always helpful and attentive to Mom. Thank you all including Ned techs and cooks and Luz. Your sweet smiles are always encouraging. Thank you all. Debi you

Never have I received so much assistance in finding a great home for my mom! My sales director, Nathan, was nothing short of a top notch resource for me and my family as we navigated the somewhat daunting world of senior living. Throughout the entire process we were treated like family and our hearts were truly warmed by how welcoming they were to my mother as well. I highly recommend taking a tour of Allara to see what makes this community such a great place to call home!

I don't understand how a facility with so many issues has a 5 star rating. My first impression of this was great, they give you a tour and tell you all the care and "amenities" they are able to provide and there are none.They are always short staffed which makes the response time for the patients a problem ( very dangerous).They are not equipped to handle any non ambulatory client. The caregivers are great and try their best but because they are not required to have a previous schooling or training (CNAs at least ), they do not understand how to care for or problem solve for clients who require total assistance espercially with transfers ( also very dangerous). Some of the staff work around with personal grudges which should never be the case here. ALL STYLE NO SUBSTANCE.

Finding a place for my mom was a lot of stress with also a very short amount of time we had given special circumstances. BUT when I got a hold of Rob the sales director, he went above and beyond to make sure he answered all my questions and has such tremendous knowledge that It truly made the transition of moving mom in so smooth. Thank you again to Rob and the entire Allara team for your outstanding professionalism and your heart for caring! It's so much appreciated.
