What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fenton
Fenton, Missouri, located along the Mississippi River, was founded in 1818, but the paperwork wasn’t filed until 1837. The city itself was built upon an ancient burial ground known as the Fenton Mounds. In 2001, the mounds were demolished to make room for a Walmart. However, the Ministry of Natural Resources has placed a plaque memorializing the area's ancient early settlers in Fenton City Park for the area’s 4,022 residents, including 642 seniors, to see. There are two assisted living facilities in Fenton to support the growing senior community, with another 86 facilities located in nearby communities such as St. Louis and Chesterfield.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services licenses assisted living facilities, and residential care facilities, as they are sometimes called in Fenton and throughout the state.
