Autumn Ridge Residences

We had a Residential Counsel meeting on 4/4. We were told in the meeting that the TV is being turned off because we are fighting over it. The problem is we are forced to watch COWBOY SHOWS because a person here likes them. I must tell you MOST of us do not like watching Cowboy Shows as OLD AS US. So instead of staff coming to talk to the person or persons that a resident or residence complained about and resolving the issue between the parties we all are being punished. WE ARE NOT CHILDREN. There is always 2 SIDES to every story. This is the part I am not understanding why not address the issue to all parties individually and see where the problem is. To me this makes sense. When I entered this building on my first visit here the dining room was filled with residence watching a Cardinal game. Now a resident or residence is complaining because we watch a Cardinal game or whatever sporting event is on we want to see. Yes the individual complaining has a lot of TV TIME let me tell you. Staff get both sides of what is going on and we are not CHILDREN we are all adults capable of getting the issue resolved with staff if you will just talk to us. Thank you!

They never tell you of any changes in procedures. I live here. Frustrating

I toured Autumn Ridge Residences and it was OK. The place was nice and clean, and the staff was excellent. I really wasn't too pleased with this facility because they had some strange rules about the top floor being for independent living and the first and second floors were for assisted living, but they did not allow walkers on the second floor, and that was odd to me. But they allowed it on the first and third floor. I think it was built more for independent living than assisted living.

If you want 3 meals a day, housecleaning and laundry service Autumn Ridge is the best. I live in Independent Cate here and really like these services. We are offered a lot of activities to participate in.

We visited Autumn Ridge Residences. What we liked about it is that the cost was in our budget (under $3500) and that the facility was nice, clean, well maintained, and the staff was very friendly. They have a lot of inclusive services, even taking them to the doctor (even if my mother had to go all the way to St. Louis, they would take her) as part of the cost. WI-fi and cable were included and all the meals. It pretty much got everything that you needed, except for haircuts and her own personal care items. It had a kitchenette in it, which we liked. It had a decent amount of space. It was a little over 400 square feet, where some of them are pretty tiny (like 240 square feet like a hotel). The studio size was decent and the price was OK. At the end of the day, we liked it. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and it sounds like they will continue to be accommodating. The person who was giving us the tour said that they regularly get high marks for the food. It's not as nice as some places, but it's not bad. They take good care of it. It's a little bit older than some of the newer places we looked at or the recently remodeled places. I like the idea that there is independent living in the building, that's another positive because there will be people that my mom can interact with. It's not perfect. There's room for improvement, but it's pretty good.

My grandmother loved Autumn Ridge. The staff was phenomenal. The building was rundown and a little older, but the rooms were big and their activities were amazing. The food was wonderful, too. It was definitely home for her because the staff all knew her. They called her grandma, too, and she did not want to leave. It was a very beautiful place. Their amenities were wonderful. They had painting classes, bingo, Rummikub, clubs, all kinds of group activities, and trivia. They took the buses and went to the stores, local community events, and church. They brought church in, and they also had a personal driver who would take the residents to doctors' appointments and anything else that they would need or shop for them. The dining area was wonderful, very spacious, and that's where they hold a lot of their events. They're undercharging for what you get there.
