Ascension Living Via Christi Village - Pittsburg

So far everything is working out well for my mother here. She has been in the hospital a bit, so her time has been limited. The staff have been pretty decent. The residents have been nice and friendly. I know she is going be safe and in good hands. So far this is a community I would recommend.

Oak Pointe of Carthage, a Viva Community

5.0
We picked this community, because of the location, and it's close to my home.. It's a great place. I guess they are all pricey, but I would definitely recommend it. It's about 15 min further away but the cost is much more affordable for whats in the bank.

Oak Pointe of Neosho, a Viva Community

4.6
What stuck out about Oak Pointe of Neosho over other places was the room size. Private apartment, large, open community areas and two secure courtyards. The staff is very friendly and positive. I really like them and feel close to them.
