About the facility
Essex of Grain Valley

With only a dozen residents, The Essex in Grain Valley, Missouri, offers residents care in a family-style setting that can be easier to navigate than a larger community. The smaller size of this assisted living and community enables caregivers to get to know residents on a more personal level.

The Furnell Companies, which have provided quality residential care for over 15 years, operates The Essex and other communities in Missouri, bringing experience and an understanding of the unique needs of seniors in the state.

The Grain Valley community is located in a residential neighborhood just off Interstate 70, offering easy access to nearby stores, restaurants and the amenities of the eastern Kansas City metropolitan area. Additionally, three hospitals are within convenient proximity.

Medicaid, VA benefits, and private insurance are among the financial resources accepted by The Essex.

The Essex Services and Amenities

Through customized care plans, residents at The Essex can get the help they need while remaining independent whenever possible in a homelike setting.

Services offered include three nutritious meals a day, housekeeping and laundry services, and medication administration by certified staff available 24 hours a day. Because the community is so small, residents have input into meals and a choice of numerous activities...

Review for Essex of Grain Valley
It was a horrible choice in which I had to hotline someone numerous times for elder abuse and the employee would be high while on duty. The company did not listen to concerts and actually stopped answering the phone or returning calls. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Assisted living & memory care residents mixed in 12 bed facility, so memory care residents have to be able to find their way to correct Fire exit during Fire drill with loud alarm and fire system lights, this facility would not work for a person who's Alzheimer's has progressed and often needs clues or re-directing to function in a home environment. No secure outside area for memory care residents whom are apt to wander.

Thank You for your comments. We do not provide care for advanced memory care needs. Our level of care is residential not assisted living so our folks are required by state regulation to be able to make a pathway to safety in order to stay at our facility. If they cannot, they will need more advanced care .We do not have a memory care area outside because we do not provide memory care services. Regards,

Correct. We provide services that are not skilled in nature. We are usually the first step when someone can no longer live alone but do not need nursing home care. We do provide medication administration, 24 hour staff, housekeeping, laundry,meals and personal care as needed. If we can be of help to you in the future, please let us know. Regards,

A tour for care
I toured this community and it was very nice and taken care of. The menu looked appealing. They offer a lot of nice activities for the residents. The staff was able to answer this I would recommend this for families to come and see the community for the care for a loved one.

Only put family here if they can fend for themself
My father spent over a year in this facility. At first we just loved it. The 'apartment' is wonderful for the price, it was always clean. Staff would come in and wipe off the counter top and laundry was always freshly washed and folded. I actually thought of Sherry as family. However, within the last 6 months things changed. My father was sent to the hospital several times without me being informed even though I am his POA. I would tell Sherry to just give me a heads up and over and over again my request continued to be disregarded. We started to notice Sherry was becoming agitated at dad for falling for or for complaining of not feeling well. Prior to moving my father out of the facility a family member was notified by a visiting home healthcare nurse that dad had been again taken to the hospital by ambulance, I called and requested a call back. It never happened until I called the main headquarters. I have the message she left on my phone still complaining of how my father soiled himself and the floor and she was too busy to call me back. If your family member can fend for them self this place isn't bad. But if they need some special attention don't do it. [removed]

I liked the Essex property from the first time I went inside to take a tour. It smelled like home cooked food and everything was very neat and clean inside and out. The staff and residents are very friendly and welcoming. Mom has only lived at the facility just under 1 month, but has already made many new friends and settled into the routine. They provide housekeeping and laundry services and serve three meals a day. I toured other similar facilities, but the Essex stood out as a superior place for Mom and I couldn't be happier with their services. They provide superior care at an affordable rate.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Missouri regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Missouri regulations for Assisted Living.
