I enjoy the community of both residents and staff at WVL. It is truly an honor and privilege to work with prospective residents and their families in this chapter of their lives as they explore different living options and plan for their future. I feel an important component of my role is to educate individuals about their choices and helping them to find the best fit. WVL is truly the BEST community.

It’s a privilege working with such a compassionate and energetic team. The staff goes out of their way to ensure the residents of Westchester Village of Lenexa are receiving the best care available and enjoying their time here. Every day brings something new and makes me excited to come to work everyday.

John Bliss

Plant Operations Director

I spent the past 20 years at SureWest/Consolidated Communications. My hobbies include cycling, both bicycle and motorcycle (I'm a member of Crossroads Cruisers — my church motorcycle group), watching sports, woodworking and fixing things. Family is also important to me. I'm married to Lisa and have 3 adult children: my son, Johnathon (and his wife, Danielle), daughters Jordan and Abby and 2 rescue dogs (Aspen and Maggie). As the Director of Plant Operations, I'm able to put a lot of my hobbies to work. I'm very glad to be a part of this team and love meeting the residents.
