Assisted Living Communities in Ellisville, MO

"The meals were consistently very good with very attentive service and pretty goof selections. Adequately staffed in what must be a difficult labor market and all very friendly. Weekly events all day long it seemed. Library visits, movies, entertainment... Never saw the old place but the renovations are beautiful. Theater is awesome!"

"If I could give the staff a 10 I would! They are compassionate, friendly and and even fun! With any care facility you are going to have concerns or issues with particular care, personality conflicts, or maybe just alot of questions. I know we did. This was my mother and I only wanted the very best for her. When I had these concerns the supervising staff was very attentive to fix the problem no matter how big or small. It warms my heart to go there and see her caregivers hugging,calling her sweet nicknames, and joking with her. I know we made the right decision. She has plenty of activities to keep her busy and she is very happy at Sunrise of Des Peres."

"In the last 12 months Town & Country Senior Living, has had: 2 Executive Directors, 4 Director of Wellness, High turnover of staff, Unable to get direct email for staff (had to go through main line), Poor communication between residents, staff, family and in house doctor, less than a year it has changed ownership again."

"Everything at The Boulevard of St Peters was very well done. It was relatively new. It's just been there for a year. So, everything was nice. We had already put a deposit there for Mom, but we didn't get to use it. The lady was very professional."

"I've moved into Harvester Residential Care. It was in the price range that I could afford. The staff is very professional, very friendly, and easy to talk to. The food is OK. I know they got a lot of people that they feed and it's not top of the line. It's nice and clean. It's a great place."

"My wife doesn't see very well and The Mary Culver Home is designed only for visually impaired women, and they've been in business for 150 years, so I like it. It's a small home. It only got 27 private rooms, so she gets a lot of one-on-one attention and they're very good. They are very attentive towards her and I would highly recommend anybody if their spouse is visually impaired, because that's the one requirement to get in. I like the fact that the patient to staff ratio was like 7 to 1 and the food's good. My wife seems to enjoy the food and they do activities with them all the time. So, they try to get them involved in various activities and I'm pleased. The rooms are small, but they're all private, and they have a private bathroom in them. It's plenty and big enough to get around. I think the home was built in 1966, I believe, so it is an older home, but it's well-maintained. They have a dining area and they kind of wait on them like it's a restaurant. They'll come up there and take their order, and whatever they want, they'll cook it for them. They have exercise classes. They do tours of different countries and stuff like that. They listen to those kinds of tapes and then discuss them. The other day when I was there, they were doing Martin Luther King's history and life. So, they do something like that all the time for them."

"I visited Brookdale Creve Coeur. The staff was nice and friendly. The place was nice and clean. The rooms were medium-sized and not so bright. "

"Friendship Village Sunset Hills was a very friendly place. They had many options available, and it was continuous care throughout the rest of your life. The staff was very nice and helpful. The grounds were nice and the location was fine. The apartments were adequate. The food was good."

"The room layout at Autumn View Gardens-St. Louis was excellent. The rooms were much better and larger. We would have picked their layout, but we just didn't like the environment. It didn't seem as quiet. It was noisier. The facilities weren't as cheery and as fresh as the others we looked at. It was an older facility, but the room we looked at had a walk-around balcony, which was very nice. The other two facilities did not have that. You could sit outside on your own private balcony. There was a garden area, too, and the staff seemed nice."

"I liked Lake St. Charles Retirement Community very much. The price was right, but they don't allow scooters, and I need to use a scooter. They had the best food and the best price. It wasn't fancy, but it was nice. The staff member during the tour was a nice young man, very knowledgeable about what was going on, and he explained a lot of things. I had lunch there. The facility was pretty laid out. When they have entertainment, they have a dance floor that they unfold in a big room. It's an old place, and they haven't upgraded a lot of things. The food was good."

"I toured Promenade Senior Living. Terry did a good job. She was enthusiastic. The rooms were small. It looked good, and they got a good job keeping it clean. I looked at the dining area, and it looked nice."

"I am moving into Clarendale of St. Peters. It was nice and clean, and it's only 3 years old. The apartments were big, and the hallways were wide. The people there were delightful, and the staff who assisted me was very friendly and knowledgeable. There was a view of the outside from the dining area. They had a little cafe in the front part, and you could eat there, too. They also had a patio and an exercise room."

"We toured St. Louis Hills Assisted Living and Memory Care, and we have friends who have been there and are positive about it. They were very thorough. They recognized our need, introduced us to what they have in the community, and the fact that they would help my brother-in-law eat, and then he would have a studio. They have bathing assistants, beauty parlors, and barbershops in the facility. The room was like a studio. It has a bed and a separate bath, a set-up for television, a chair, and a limited in-room space. They had adequate rooms, and they looked nice. In the common areas, they had a lot of things going on, like a movie, a trivia, and people sitting and visiting. I was very impressed with their activities, and the way they communicated was like a TV screen set up to a computer, so they would say, "This is somebody's birthday, or This is what we're having now.", and that kind of thing."

"My mom has been in Memory Care at Kingsland Walk for over three years. The facility is well maintained and clean. We are thrilled with the Executive Director, who is organized. professional and easy talk with. She is good with employees and always smiling. The staff is wonderful ..from Maintenance to Housekeeping, Medicine and Caregiving. We adore the MC Director, Tanika, and all the Care, devotion and long hours she puts in caring for my mom and all the residents. She and her staff are the best we have had in all our tenure here and we feel extremely blessed that mom is safe, clean and cared for in every way. These wonderful people are like family to us."
