Booth Manor Senior Citizen

Booth Manor Senior Citizen sits at 6111 E 129th St in Grandview, Missouri, and has been run as a nonprofit under The Salvation Army Services since 1988, mainly serving low-income elderly and disabled people with its 80-unit apartment project where you'll find a mix of studio layouts and one-bedroom units, and they even allow small pets, so if someone has a little dog or a cat, they don't have to leave them behind, which is nice to see. The place offers several types of care, like independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, and home care, so folks living there can get help with things like daily activities and medication if they need it, and the memory care area is built to prevent wandering and confusion which is important for keeping residents safe. There's a strong focus on keeping everyone engaged, offering activities for the body, mind, and spirit, and Booth Manor Senior Center runs programs using the Seven Dimensions of Wellness, hosts Parks & Recreation classes for all ages, and takes care of people's spiritual needs with on-site devotional services, and even though you have people there of all backgrounds, the sense of community gets a boost because folks can connect, share knowledge, and get advice. Meals are taken seriously-they prepare one or two balanced meals a day, planned out by chefs so seniors get proper nutrition, and there are both congregate and home-delivered meal options for those who can't make it to the dining room, and laundry and housekeeping services are available along with laundry rooms if someone wants to do their wash on their own. Transportation gets scheduled for residents, keeping it simple for those who want or need to get out for appointments or errands, and the center has a membership age requirement, so people aren't confused about who can take part in some activities, though some things, like the parks and rec classes, are open to all ages, which gives the place a more lively feel. The building and its programs are nationally accredited, and Booth Manor runs on government funding, donations, and grants-it's income-based, so rent stays affordable to those who qualify. No staff were officially listed in 2023, but people often mention that the help there is friendly and kind, which helps make the community welcoming and easier to settle into. While not every amenity is spelled out, Booth Manor mainly aims to help older adults keep their health, security, and happiness as they age, offering support physically, socially, and emotionally, and there's physical, social, mental, and emotional engagement activities to keep folks from feeling alone or left out. All in all, Booth Manor offers people a way to keep living independently as long as possible, with enough medical care, safety nets, and community spirit to help with day-to-day life.
