Lack of staff. “dr Jay” is the worst therapist I’ve ever met. He didn’t work me and his charting made it look as if I didn’t need therapy and I had to be discharged and now having trouble getting outpatient therapy as a result!

In September of 2025 I had a fall and while still wearing a boot I was suggested to receive physical therapy. I sought out the physical therapy department of Benedictine Living Community Center. I had the very good fortune to receive physical therapy there . I was admitted to the program by Jane , very professional and friendly . I received physical therapy from Jay , Breanna, Amanda and Shelby . All were excellent, professional, knowledgeable and friendly . While there I received physical therapy and went home with directions to continue progress at home . I certainly recommend the department of physical therapy at Benedictine Living Community Center. Sincerely, Lillian Patricia Sutherland

I suppose I’ll start by saying it’s disappointing that I can only rate five stars. Our experience at Benedictine Living Community has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment we toured the community, my mother knew this was where she wanted to move. Tiffany and Amy are absolutely AMAZING and have gone above and beyond in every aspect, and their communication has been nothing short of remarkable. They truly embody the spirit of what Benedictine stands for, and are individuals you would want caring for your loved ones. Before we signed the lease, we were informed every step of the way on what the process was, and given the opportunity to ask any questions we had beforehand. There was zero pressure during the tour, and they want the residents to make their own informed decisions. Unfortunately, prior to the move in date, my mother was hospitalized and then moved to the Skilled Nursing side of the building for rehabilitation services. There was an employee issue that, when brought to nursing leadership’s attention, was swiftly handled. My mother received fantastic care while in the Skilled Nursing unit. She then moved into her Independent Living apartment. During this time, I know Tiffany visited her regularly, and made sure she felt comfortable with meal times and how to get around the building. Tiffany truly cares about the residents, and it’s evident by the way she treats everyone she meets. My mom lived in the apartment for around three days before she had to be hospitalized again (and it was a tremendous peace of mind that Mosaic was literally across the street). Amy and Tiffany made a point to come visit her while she was in the hospital, and I know it meant the world to my mom that she was so cared about. While my mom eventually passed away and never made it back to her apartment, I can’t tell you how amazing we, as the family, felt with the support of all the staff from Benedictine. After she passed, Amy and Tiffany made an extremely trying and difficult situation logistically manageable, and offered their assistance whenever possible. From the bottom of my heart, I am thankful we got to know you, and can’t thank you enough for taking such good care of my mom while she was there.

My father broke his hip and was discharged from the hospital before he was ready to go home. We looked for a skilled nursing facility for him to stay at for a few weeks to get stronger and landed with the Living Community. Their Physical and Occupational Therapy has been great with Dad, he is getting stronger and closer to getting home to live independently. Jeff, Myriah, Gracie, Robin, Kylie, Karissa all have been a blessing and very helpful out there. They are kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, attentive, respectful and have treated my Dad very well! Added bonus...Dad likes the food there better than the hospital!! lol

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited the Benedictine Senior Living community in Saint Joseph, Missouri, and was utterly taken by the serene fountain at the entrance. But what truly made my visit memorable was the Marketing and Sales Manager, Jenni. It’s evident she takes immense pride in her role; not only is she adept at showcasing the community's features, but she also has a genuine passion for learning and sharing the unique stories of every resident. In an age where personal touches are often overlooked, Jenni stands out as a beacon of genuine care and connection. It's clear that at Benedictine, every story and every resident matters. #LifeAtBenedictine #StillWatersRunDeep Benedictine Associate
