McCrite Plaza: Award-Winning and Family-Owned Senior Living in Kansas City and Topeka

Choosing the right retirement community is one of the most important decisions seniors and their families will make. At McCrite Plaza Senior Living, we understand the emotional, medical, and lifestyle factors that go into that decision. With award-winning facilities in both Kansas City at Briarcliff and Topeka, we’ve proudly served seniors for over 50 years as a locally owned and family-operated senior living community.


A Legacy of Local, Family-Owned Excellence

What sets McCrite Plaza apart? It begins with our roots. Founded and still operated by the McCrite family, our approach is deeply personal. We’re not a national chain or franchise. Instead, we’re neighbors—committed to ensuring seniors receive the same compassionate care we’d want for our own loved ones.

Because of our family-first values and local stewardship, our team builds lasting relationships with residents and their families. That connection creates a warm, vibrant, and nurturing environment that’s felt the moment you walk through our doors.


A Full Continuum of Care for Every Stage of Aging

At McCrite Plaza, we believe in supporting seniors through every stage of their journey. Our continuum of care model ensures that as needs change, services evolve without the stress of moving to a new facility. This seamless transition is essential for peace of mind—both for residents and their families.

  • Independent Living – For active seniors who want freedom, community engagement, and upscale amenities.
