Assisted Living Communities in Eureka, MO

"Friendship Village Sunset Hills was too expensive for me. If I had the money, I would stay there. They were friendly. The real estate lady was upfront with me. They were very nice. The place was clean. They offered good things."

"My father stayed a few weeks on the acute rehab side and then moved over to the skilled nursing care side for a few more weeks till he got strong enough to come home. First of all, the place is beautiful- both the rooms and overall facility. It is kept very nice and has a cheery atmosphere. It even has its own bakery that is open daily to get a sweet treat. The staff is attentive and patient and hard working on behalf of their patients. They responded to my calls and treated my father with extra special care. We were extremely nervous about having my father in a nursing home...and we got so LUCKY when we found Brooking Park. It was more like a home which was a grateful surprise! I/we highly recommend this facility!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"My mother lived in Brookdale Creve Coeur. We moved her because of the cost. With the money she has, we couldn't sustain at Brookdale for $11,000 a month. It just wasn't gonna work, but I'd give them a five on everything. There were no weaknesses in anything. It was just perfect."

"I toured Harvester Residential Care. I appreciated the warm welcome that I received. Everyone that I spoke with was very kind, friendly, and helpful. They answered my questions. I was glad to be able to see the assisted living center, as well as the group housing options. My questions were answered, and I received literature and a card to take home if we wanted additional information or assistance. The menu was posted. It was very helpful, also. They have outdoor spaces near the driveway, near the front entrance. I saw comfortable chairs, and the grounds were very well-maintained."

"I toured Sunrise of Webster Groves. It seemed like a very nice community. It was a very nice building. Everyone was very personal and likable. It might be something we would look at in the future, but I think we're pretty comfortable where we're at for the moment. The staff member who gave the tour was great. They said I could try their food, but I did not. They also had porches if they needed some kind of outdoor space."

"We toured the assisted living facility of Autumn View Gardens - Saint Louis for my husband's sister. She went for an evaluation, and it turned out she needed more than what they could offer us. The staff who assisted us were very nice. The cleanliness and the structure of the building were very nice. They also have outdoor spaces."

"My mother will do respite care here for the fourth time. I pretty much liked everything about it. The atmosphere as soon as I walked in the door, I just knew it felt homey. I liked the activities that they did and the interaction. She went on the tour with me and they made her feel welcome. I fell in love with the staff. While I was touring, she sat with some of the other residents and she was comfortable there. She ate all her food there. The place was very clean and it smelled clean. It was just like walking in The Hilton."

"My mother used to live in the Brentmoor Retirement Community. They don't have memory care, but they have assisted living which is on the second floor, and then they have independent living. She moved out a year ago in September. She loved Brentmoor. They had a really beautiful restaurant, the food was great, and her place was gorgeous. She had a 2-bedroom apartment, and it's got beautiful views. The staff was wonderful, and it was a very, very nice place. She had a nice group of friends, and she really enjoyed it. She had a full kitchen, a living room, a dining room, 2-bedrooms, and 2-bathrooms. They have a 1-bedroom and they have studios, but she wanted an extra bedroom in case somebody came to visit 'cause all my siblings, we all live in different States. Usually once a month they would go to a restaurant or they'd take a drive somewhere like Marquette which is a couple hours away. They took outings downtown, they had all sorts of people coming showing all sorts of stuff, cooking, speakers, they had political speakers and historical people come. It was a very stimulating place, and it was a very good fit for her. They had an occupational therapist within the building. They had really good food 'cause I would go over there and eat with my mom a lot. The staff was wonderful. They had this little tag, like a "Do Not Disturb" tag, and when they were up in the morning, they would just put it out and say "I'm OK." So, someone would go around every day checking, and when it wasn't on the door, they would check to make sure they were all right, so that was kind of nice. They had exercise. They were kind of pricey for independent living. I think the last time, her payments were $3700 to $3800 a month, and I'm sure it has probably gone up."

"The rooms and food are amazing. The staff are all 5 stars."

"My mom is a resident of Lake St Charles Retirement Community. It's wonderful. They recently remodeled the inside, and they are always upgrading the apartment. If someone moves out they upgrade before anybody else moves in, and the staff was very kind. My mom's room is very comfortable. She enjoys it, and we can personalize it. It's very well done inside and out. She has been able to participate in the activities throughout the years, but right now she cannot. They have a variety of activities on campus and off campus. They take a bus to the casinos about once a month. They give them opportunities to go to various shopping centers or the grocery store. They have Bible studies, music entertainment, and worship services."

"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."
