Assisted Living Communities in Boonville, MO

"I toured The Westbury. The building was beautiful and brand new. I didn't get that warm feeling, but that may just be because they aren't a family themselves, because they haven't worked together very long. After all, the building is still new. The memory floor had like one or two residents and they can house 18. They had other people signed up to come, but they weren't there yet. The assisted living had been open for a couple of months now and was filling up, but it wasn't full like they had people signed up. The buildings are brand new and beautiful. The staff who assisted me were professional and nice. I didn't try their food, but it smelled good. They showed me an exercise room. It sounds like they have a lot of things for people. Memory care can't do a lot of those activities. They can't leave, but the assisted living people can go out. It sounds like they have buses and stuff and do lots of activities with the independent living people. What I liked about the memory care unit (especially compared to the place where Dad is currently living and with the other place that I viewed), is that memory care, is called a memory cottage, and it is set up in a square with a courtyard in the center. A lot of times people with dementia like to wander and stop and look at things and they have all these little stations for people to stop and look at. Like a lady might want to dress up, and so they have like jewelry that she could put on, and then they have like a mirror that looks like a dresser. And then there's another area that my dad would like, which would be a woodworking area. They've got versions that are safe for people like he could take screws in and out. The screws don't have any sharp edges. Like, use a weak hammer to hammer something. And then there was a gardening station with fake flowers, and they had a station with pets like fake dogs and fake cats. There were other situations, but these are the ones that I remember. They said the purpose of it is that, people with dementia, they're experiencing everything for the first time sometimes, and that at least gives them something to do rather than sit there and be depressed. It looks like they put a lot of thought into that and that looks nice. It seems like a good idea. The rooms are beautiful. They had a special technology where they can sense if a person falls. It's not a camera where they see every detail, but they can see as the outline of a person, and they can see if they fall, and then they can come and check on them. It's a cool technology. However, I don't think my dad would like that very much. I also didn't feel that warm, cuddly feeling that I felt in the other place. Part of that was because I didn't get to observe staff interacting with residents, and that was because the place was still new."

"My wifes grandmother named E. Waterfield. stayed there to her last day on this earth as we know it now. she was a very kind woman and treated me very well.She told me some stuf about waterfields and i didnt understand until i realized later her name was watts.The staff at lakeview are very hard working kind people and treated elma very good.The last time i was was there they were doing some construction work on the inside kitchen area and surrounding area. E. Waterfield was 95 years old when she passed so she has seen alot in life,the facility really helped her alot.The building is located on the outer part of a small town named Boonville which is about 3 to 4 minutes from super walmart and other stores. the facility has a big activity room for partys and get togethers.Nice cozy rooms and dedicated staff !

"My mom is at Hartmann Village Senior Living and it's nice. She's in a cottage, and my dad was there, too, until he had to go to a nursing home. It is an independent living and assisted living, but there wasn't any memory care, so that's why he had to go to another facility. I've been to Hartmann Village Senior Living a lot of times. I've eaten there, slept there, and everything. The food's great and the little cottage is just perfect for mom. They have gorgeous landscaping too. Most of the staff were great. There's one person that I would probably rate a 3 for the reason that she just kind of picks on this one resident, and my mom says it's just kind of obvious that she's talking about him. So, that's not real good, but the rest of them have been great. If you happen to live in Mid-Missouri, the value you get for the money is great."

"The amenities were not the nicest, but they were clean and free from any noticeable filth or odd smells, other than that of "old house." Rest Haven is an old house which has been retrofitted to house the geriatric in a safe setting, however it has a narrow staircase in the main room (not sure if any patients are upstairs). It also has at least one addition attached to the main house. It gives off an intimate setting with a reasonable number of people living there for the size of the space. The staff seemed friendly and were quick to attend to any of the patients' needs. None of the people living there were actively complaining or attempting to leave of their own willpower. "
