Assisted Living Communities in St Charles, MO

"My parents are going to be moving into Friendship Village Chesterfield. I like the Lifecare Plan, where the monthly rate does not increase as they go up in different levels. They were very friendly, they answered all my questions very well, and I felt that the residents seemed happy, too. It just seemed like a very pleasant place. They have redone the skilled nursing and the assisted living, they have a new independent living, and there are lots of facilities, too. Also, they're offering discounts for the entrance fees and waiving different fees, so we felt it was more affordable for what you're getting. It's close to family, which is one of the reasons why we chose it. They have a good reputation in the community, too. I think it's in a good location, as it is near different stores and shops, and it's a familiar area for my dad and mom, so I think that's helpful. It's under construction a bit, and they're still building the chapel, but I feel like it will be nice once it's all finished."

"I cannot express the love and care my mom and dad got from everyone at Brooking Park. The nursing staff knew their needs and took care of them always at the right time. The food has a diverse blend of all group needs, and spiced right. We had many friends for lunch or dinner, and everyone was very pleased. The entertainment was wonderful, the outings were always fun. They kept everyone very busy if they wanted to join in. I was very lucky that my parents were cared for to this high level before they passed. Please for all of you reading this, just go and see what I experienced to get the best care for your loved one. "

"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 liked everything about The Lumiere of Chesterfield. They had a private chef who worked with the people who lived there to get on the menu what they preferred to eat according to their diet. A lot of these people are diabetics and when they go to another facility, they don't care what they eat, they just put garbage on the menu. This private chef makes a world of difference. They have high ceilings and big, spacious rooms. It's much more spacious than a lot of the facilities I've seen. It makes it feel much more luxurious and much more like home."

"I went to tour The Meadowlands. The person I talked to was very nice. She walked me through trying to explain the activities that they do, the food they serve, and the help and care they provide. She also tried to explain to me the grounds that they had, and she showed me one of the bedrooms."

"We have a place reserved at Sunrise of Chesterfield for my friend. They accepted her, but when they checked her out, they realized she was being treated for wounds on her legs and they could not do that treatment there, so then she went to skilled nursing and will go to Sunrise. I was the one that went and chose it for her. I was very impressed with it. I had a very good feeling the minute I walked in the door. It was warm and friendly. It just said to me this is the place. We did a physical visit and I looked at the rooms and they were very nice. The facility was very nice, clean, they had lots of good activities, good things to try to keep her going, exercise classes, and a nice dining area with the other residents. The thing I liked about it is it's small. There's another floor of memory care which I did not see. The staff during the tour was very good, showed me everything, was pleasant to work with, very directive, and straightforward. They have come to assess her twice to see if she's ready to come there. It's just very nice. I looked at other places and some of them were just way too big. There is a nice entranceway. I didn't look out back but I think there's space out in the back as I recall. I've had several people say, "Oh, yeah, that place is nice.""

"Brookdale West County is a wonderful and newer community. They have a pond right behind the place where residents can sit and look out. It's a nice setting. The person who did the tour spent a lot of time asking what my mom likes to do. They had very individualized activities and took many trips to lots of places. They also had beautiful dining areas with menu-style dining. They had memory care and dementia care with separate activities. They had a base rate, and then they charge for what type of care that you need. I was introduced to all the staff members we walked by, and everyone was very friendly. It's a fantastic community."

"I toured the Fields of Florissant. The community is very nice. The staff and the residents there were friendly. I did not get to see a lot of the facility, just when I walked into the dining area and the recreation area. I saw two of the rooms, the studio apartment and the one-bedroom apartment. Both apartments were very nice. The bathrooms were large and spacious. I like the one-bedroom apartment for my mom. Everything there was pretty much updated. I liked that they offered a microwave, a refrigerator, and a sink area inside each facility. It was a large facility, and the entire place seemed very clean. She introduced me to the activities director and said that she was very creative and always came up with different activities for them to do. It was Halloween-themed at the time, and there were activities around that."

"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."

"I toured Kingsland Walk Senior Living. I was impressed with how new the building seemed. The facility was excellent, but the location, I would not feel comfortable walking my dog outside. All the staff that I met were very friendly. The structure of the building and cleanliness was excellent. You have everything there from independent living to memory care, all mixed in one place. It's good, but it also sometimes can be depressing as an independent living person because you're also seeing the assisted living and memory care people mixed in with the independent living."

"My mom is a resident here and I am very pleased with the care she receives by staff. The facility is clean and the meals are very good. My mom has made friends and enjoys the activities very much. She’s 92 years old and I’m thrilled that she can visit with others. If we can Just get through Covid! Thank you all for everything you do for the resident! You’re the best!!"

"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 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."

"My dad moved into St. Louis Hills Assisted Living and Memory Care in November. The facility is very clean. It's like an old hotel. It does have an outdoor area, but we haven't used it because it's been too cold. It's in the city and it has a dedicated outdoor space, but the inside facility is very nice. The staff has been very nice and very accommodating. They have movie nights and some recreational time. The dining area is very nice, and he likes their food, so far."
