Key Review Excerpts
“My dad moved into the Veterans home recently and has been well received by staff who are so compassionate and friendly to him as well as us! The food is top notch and the facility is well kept.”
“My grandfather has been a resident at Kansas Veterans Home in Winfield, KS for almost 4 years. The care he has received from the staff has never failed. On the numerous scheduled and unexpected visits I have made he’s always clean, well fed, and very well attended.”
“My mother moved here & she loved it, being one of two WWII female veteran residents. The care she received was top notch. It always smelled clean. The staff was friendly. Both my mother & I were Registered Nurses, so we were fairly particular about her care.”
