Westwood Manor - Liberty, MO

Overall sentiment in the reviews for Westwood Manor is mixed but leans positive on community and social aspects while raising notable operational concerns. Multiple reviewers emphasize a warm, friendly community with plenty of opportunities to socialize and get to know neighbors. The facility is explicitly recommended for independent senior living by at least one reviewer, and words like "great place to live" and "nice people" appear, indicating that many residents appreciate the social environment and the general lifestyle offered.

Staff and management are described in two contrasting ways. On the positive side, reviewers call out a friendly and helpful manager, which suggests staff who are approachable and supportive in day-to-day interactions. However, there are also complaints that promises made by staff or management have not been kept. This inconsistency—helpful interpersonal behavior alongside failures to follow through on commitments—emerges as a recurring theme and should be considered by prospective residents as a potential risk to satisfaction over time.

Facilities and move-in experience are clear pain points. Several reviews mention poor maintenance and specific move-in issues. While the reviews do not provide exhaustive details about the nature of the maintenance problems, the combination of "poor maintenance" with "move-in issues" suggests that condition of units and the move-in process have caused frustrations for new residents. These operational shortcomings could undermine the otherwise positive social atmosphere if not addressed.

Activities and community life are strengths. Reviewers note "several activities for getting to know neighbors," which supports the impression that Westwood Manor offers structured or informal opportunities for social engagement—a key consideration for independent living. The presence of many "nice people" and community-focused activities helps explain why some reviewers call it a great place to live despite other issues.

There are also interpersonal tensions to be aware of. One review bluntly uses the term "jerks," indicating that while many residents are pleasant, there are instances of unpleasant neighbors or conflicts. Additionally, a mention that there are "no visitors currently" points to visitor restrictions or temporary policy measures that may limit residents' ability to host friends and family. The reviews do not clarify whether this is a temporary policy (for example, related to health precautions) or a more permanent practice, so prospective residents should ask about current visitor policies when evaluating the community.

In summary, Westwood Manor appears to offer a socially active, friendly environment well-suited to independent seniors who value community and activities and who may benefit from a helpful, approachable manager. However, prospective residents should be cautious and perform additional due diligence: inspect unit conditions, ask specific questions about the move-in process, request examples of previously unmet promises and how they were handled, and verify current visitor policies. Balancing the strong social qualities against recurring maintenance and management follow-through concerns will give the clearest picture of whether Westwood Manor is a good fit for an individual’s priorities.

Westwood Manor sits on 25 acres with native woodlands and Little Shoal Creek right nearby, and when you walk around you'll spot park-like grounds, walking trails, and a nature trail that seem to catch sunlight from skylights and glass French doors in the homes, which most have peaked roofs and almost all have lap siding. The homes come in many floor plans, and some are even multisection, with features like 11-foot vaulted ceilings, island kitchens, solid oak cabinets, master bedroom suites with walk-in closets, luxury baths with 6-foot soaking tubs, open layouts, crown moldings, private yards, and private parking, so folks have room to spread out, and if needed, they can get a handicap-accessible home. There are 80 units here, and vacant sites ready for new neighbors, so there's usually a spot for newcomers who fit the age 50-plus requirement, and with prices for manufactured homes ranging from $30,000 to $90,000, it stays in the affordable range for many retirees. The community keeps things friendly but safe, with police patrols and 24-hour emergency services, and if something goes wrong, on-site management and maintenance staff, led by community manager Criss Thomas, are available, whether it's fixing something, helping with small tasks, or just keeping the streets paved and the grounds tidy in all seasons-they handle lawn maintenance and snow removal, too.

Inside, the clubhouse and community center host a steady calendar of activities, like exercise classes, pancake breakfasts, pot-luck dinners, bingo nights, Bible study, and even game days, volunteer clubs, yard-of-the-month awards, and social competitions, so there's often something to join, and many people get to know their neighbors through these gatherings. Seniors who live here enjoy a clean, quiet, and friendly place, and with their own library, horseshoe pits, and secured boat and RV storage, there's always something to do without leaving the property. Common areas, both indoors and outdoors, make spaces for small chats or bigger events, while the grounds have WiFi available as "Other," and the staff uses Facebook for updates and online communication with residents.

Apartments come with walk-in closets, luxury baths, and island kitchens, just like the homes, and there are high-efficiency appliances in units to make daily life easier, while the entire community is designed for independent, active seniors. Residents can bring pets up to 20 pounds, so you'll see people walking their dogs around the nature areas. Facilities are senior-friendly, with good lighting, thermal-pane windows, lots of insulation, and a solid build, which includes things like engineered roof truss and a 25-year shingle roof so the homes last a while here. Proximity to Wilshire Plaza, stores, restaurants, and North Brook and Wilshire parks means errands and outings don't take long at all, especially with a major highway just down the road. Westwood Manor is a senior-only, independent living community for those 50 and older, including those with disabilities or health conditions, and the staff can help answer questions or provide resources about senior care if needed, but mostly the aim here stays on allowing older adults to live peacefully, securely, and with plenty of ways to fill their days, whether that's a quiet morning with a coffee in a sun-soaked living room or joining a neighbor for an evening walk along Little Shoal Creek.
