Assisted Living Communities in Florissant, MO

"Our experience with Lake St Charles Retirement Community was wonderful. They just didn't have a room available right away. It was very clean. The people were very nice. It feels like a great community. I wasn't able to try their food, but the staff told me to call her and come back and I can have lunch there. They have an exercise room and each floor had their own little area where the people on that floor can sit, relax, and talk to other people who live on that floor. You wouldn't have to go downstairs or to a certain place, and I liked that. I liked the way the rooms were set up. It had nice-sized closets, and that's what I loved about it."

"My mom is in St. Louis Hills Assisted Living and Memory Care. It has been very good. The staff there are very caring. It's well staffed and very friendly. She had a real hard time adjusting at first, and they were very patient with her. They really helped her through it. Now she is involved in more activities. I think she's doing well. I go once a week and spend a couple of hours with her. We have lunch, and it's good. She enjoys it. They play bingo twice a week, and she really enjoys that. They keep them pretty busy. They have outside trips. She hasn't participated in any of that yet, but they do that at least twice a week. They have some music. They have chair exercises that they do every day. It's very clean. They've been doing some renovations. They have a nice little outdoor patio. I really don't have any complaints at all. They have a minister that comes every other week, and she really enjoys that."

"It's a great place one of the Best"

"I toured Harvester Residential Care. It was good. It wasn't quite as new and nice as the other places, but they're doing some remodeling. They're working on the parking lot, and the staff told me they're getting ready to expand the facility. The rooms looked OK, but they're a little on the small side. Some have their own bathroom, some don't. She told me that all the rooms on one side of the hall had their own bathroom in the rooms. On the other side of the hall, they had shared bathrooms. The fellow who was supposed to meet me there by appointment was not there. But a very nice young lady gave me a tour of the facility and answered my questions. I saw that the dining area was very nice, large, and well-lit, with one full wall of windows to see out into the backyard. So, that was nice. I walked through a common area and three or four residents were watching a game show on TV."

"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."

"My mom is in Friendship Village. The room is spacious. It has a separate bedroom, a small kitchen, and a living room. It is much larger and more reasonably priced than anything else I looked at. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. My mom is very comfortable with them. They have a pretty extensive menu. They have a lot of very good activities. She can stay there for the rest of her life because they have a full continuum of care. "

"We liked the fact that Brookdale West County was kind of a small community of people. I liked that they had a workout room and that they check up on their residents every four hours or something like that. They also take their residents on trips out of the facility from time to time. They have the meals and it's convenient. The lady who toured me there was very nice, knowledgeable, and very willing to explain all the different amenities and the pricing. The dining area is nice. The space was plentiful, the lighting was good, and the view out of the venue was very nice. I liked that area. I liked all of the wood cabinets. It felt warm, comfortable, and sort of well-spaced out. It was easy to get around and the elevator was big and easy to use. It smelled clean."

"I toured The Boulevard of St Peters. The executive manager was awesome. He was so nice, caring, talkative, and guiding us in the right direction. The unit they showed me was two rooms. It's got a walk-in bath and a little kitchenette. The staff was beyond great. The place was brand new and perfect. They had a walking area, which was nice, too."

"Friendship Village Sunset Hills is really nice. It's just too big for what we're looking for. But I felt really good about them. I felt like they had a lot of staff. I was really pleased to see so many people floating around. They seemed to know the clients' names, the people they were taking care of. There were things that they said they had available to the clients that I actually saw that they were available, which I thought was good. The fact that you could go from independent to assisted to skilled nursing there. We just didn't like that you had to go to separate buildings for that. That would be a challenge for my aunt to get there to see my dad if he were to start off in that. Their prices were higher than what we wanted to spend. However, it would have been pretty much all inclusive. It looked like they had everything we needed."

"We loved The Meadowlands. There was a shared room available and we didn’t want my mom in that. There was also a private room that had another room behind it to where another person would come through my mom's room to get to hers, which we thought was really strange. There wasn't a room there that we liked for my mom because she definitely needed to be in a room by herself. The rooms were also too small to be shared. They did explain that by the people get to memory care, it's actually better for them to have a roommate because they need the stimulus to have someone around, but that's not the stage that my mom was at at the time. In the memory care unit, they had the Bingo that's by color, so it's appropriate for people that were at that stage. They had a really nice eating area though."

"My mother has been in Autumn View for a couple of years now. They do activities, but I don't know what they are. It is very clean, and it has a homey feeling. I like all of the staff. They do well. If they were not OK, I would not put my mother in there. Everybody has their likes and dislikes, but she seems to do quite well. Her room is fine, and it is just right for her. I am satisfied with it. I think they have been helpful, understanding, and caring with her. "

"I toured here. They had a nice garden. They have nice apartments. I noticed they had full-sized kitchens and refrigerators. They were located in an urban area, which is nice for people who don't drive. All the people I met there were very nice. It seemed like a very good community. The staff was very good. He's very personable, very nice, covered everything, and took me around. I liked him and he was responsive to me when I had questions. They had a lovely dark area and a nice activity area. They have physical therapy and stuff like that. I think there was a theater. They offered transportation within 15 miles, I believe, and they were pet-friendly."
