Cross Creek at Lee's Summit Memory Care & Assisted Living sits in a single-story building in Lee's Summit, Missouri, and has been open since 2017. The facility specializes in helping seniors with memory loss, including Alzheimer's and dementia, and provides both assisted living and memory care services. Residents can choose between private studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, with sizes ranging from about 318 to 690 square feet, and each has a private bathroom. Apartment options include suites such as the Meriwether, Elm, Sutherland, Hawthorn, Dogwood, and Magnolia. The community offers a high staff-to-resident ratio with 24-hour licensed nursing staff and certified care providers who help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management, making sure everyone's health and comfort come first. A dietitian and recreation therapist are on staff, and the care team includes an Executive Director, Director of Nursing, Admissions Coordinator, Dietary Director, Director of Housekeeping & Laundry, and Life Enrichment Director.
Residents get three chef-prepared meals a day, all included in a flat rate fee along with utilities and amenities, helping keep daily life simple. There are scheduled exercise and activity programs for physical and mental stimulation, recreational areas, and a full-service salon. The facility offers transportation, so residents can attend appointments or outings, and the staff trains often to stay updated on dementia and senior care. Memory care programs and custom care plans are tailored around each person's needs and background, which the team learns by listening to residents' life stories. Cross Creek at Lee's Summit stands on five pillars of brain health-move, discover, relax, nourish, and connect-and designs its programs to help residents stay active, comfortable, and social. The facility is pet-free even though the environment encourages a home-like feel.
Residents live in a safe, secure setting with a focus on quality of life, and the community supports families facing Alzheimer's and dementia as well. There's always licensed supervision around the clock, and the team works to support each person's independence however possible, while still giving plenty of help where needed. The starting price for memory care is $6,900 each month. Tours are available for prospective residents and their loved ones to view suites and meet the staff. Cross Creek at Lee's Summit operates under license number 049762 and is privately held under JES | Prime Senior Living Community. Jeff Smith, the President & CEO, started the community after his own mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis, so there's a personal angle guiding its mission.
