McCrite Plaza at Briarcliff is a family-owned senior living community that's been around since 1975 and offers a full range of care from independent living to long-term skilled care, assisted living, assisted living plus, memory care, rehabilitation, and home care, all in one place. The community sits in Briarcliff and has beautiful views of the Kansas City skyline or the Briarcliff neighborhood from many of its private apartment homes, some with walk-out patios or balconies, and residents get a choice of one- or two-bedroom layouts with full kitchens, appliances, and plenty of space.
Residents get help if they need it with things like medication management, meals delivered to their door, injections, transfers, and blood pressure monitoring, plus supportive care staff who've earned a reputation for being kind, friendly, and helpful. All apartments come with safety features like walk-in showers, emergency call systems, weekly house cleaning, and 24-hour access to medical help, so families feel some peace of mind knowing care is close by.
The building is clean and elegant, but it doesn't feel stuffy-there are comfortable lounges, a private library, chapel, bistro, movie theater, health and wellness center, and assigned parking, so people can visit, relax, and meet with neighbors while the staff takes care of things like mowing, shoveling snow, maintenance, and cleaning, meaning no more chores to worry about. Community life is lively with the McCrite Plaza Social Club and daily programs, so folks can join in things like lifelong learning classes, crafts, card games, billiards, and music, or venture out for nature walks, cultural trips, and group events.
Mealtime stands out with five-star dining from skilled chefs who prepare menus that work for special diets-low sodium, heart healthy, or sugar free-and there's even the City Lights Club lounge on the top floor where residents can gather for happy hour and enjoy views of the city lights. Residents get a full list of amenities like concierge help with appointments and transportation, on-site services for doctors, podiatrists, barbers, beauty salon, and a place to attend worship. All costs roll into one monthly bill, so rent, utilities, Wi-Fi, activities, transportation, and breakfast are bundled, cutting out surprises.
