Welcome to The Groves
Only by visiting The Groves can you get a feel for the lifestyle of our community. When you are here, you will gain an awareness of the caring nature of both residents and staff. You will sense that we celebrate life…for we all have much to give and receive from one another. The Groves Retirement Community is a special place for the people who live, work, volunteer, and visit here.
Located in historic Independence, Missouri, just west of the Square and Harry Truman's home, the Groves is centrally located so that all of the shopping, dining, cultural and sporting events of Independence and Kansas City in Missouri and Johnson County in Kansas are easily accessible. Those who make The Groves their home are also close to hospitals, doctors, grocery stores, friends, and many other things. As a continuing care retirement community, The Groves offers Independent Living Apartments, Independent Living with Services, Licensed Residential Care, Rehabilitation, Skilled Nursing, Alzheimer's and Dementia Care, and Hospice.
