Key Review Excerpts
“My parents moved into Topeka Presbyterian Manor Assisted Living in November. I can’t tell you what peace of mind it is when my mom says “Everyone is so nice here! They take really good care of me. The food is even good too!””
“The entire staff is warm and friendly. They are attentive to even the smallest need. My mother is receiving excellent care. She has many opportunities for activities. The facility is clean and inviting.”
“It is a very nice facility. But one day my mom fell in her room and they sent her by ambulance to the ER. 6 hours later when we returned, they still had not cleaned the blood up in her room.”
