When it comes to selecting a senior living community, the best time to start your search is before you actually need to move. At McCrite Plaza Senior Living, located in Kansas City at Briarcliff and Topeka, we understand how overwhelming this transition can feel. That’s why we encourage future residents and their families to tour early, ask questions, and explore options at their own pace—with no pressure, just support.
Why Tour Senior Living Communities in Advance?
1. Peace of Mind for the Future
Planning ahead means you’ll be able to choose a place that truly feels like home. Touring in advance gives you time to get familiar with the atmosphere, the staff, and the services offered. You’ll feel confident in your decision, knowing it was made thoughtfully and not during a time of crisis.
2. Avoiding the Stress of Last-Minute Decisions
Health events or unexpected life changes often lead to hurried decisions. By visiting McCrite Plaza Senior Living before a need arises, you eliminate the stress of making quick choices and instead create a clear plan for the future.

-
Independent Living – For those who want to maintain their lifestyle in a vibrant, active community.
-
Assisted Living – Personalized care and support with daily tasks while promoting independence.
-
Memory Care – Specialized, compassionate support for residents with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
