The Best Assisted Living Communities in Saint Charles County, MO

"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."

"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."

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

"The Boulevard at Wentzville made it to my top of the list choices. They were wonderful and very accommodating. Their food was phenomenal. They had a menu that they can order from. They had a special of the day where they had entree choices, but they also had a menu that stays the same. They can have sandwiches, salads and burgers. It's very restaurant style and very delicious with tons of options. The rooms were wonderful, and the layout was really good. There were 2 separate buildings for independent and assisted. The independent was bigger and had more amenities, but they allowed the assisted living to come and use those facilities. The assisted living building was just as adequate, and it was laid out on one level because some of the residents had wheelchairs and walkers. Both buildings were excellent."

"The rooms looked very nice, clean, and spacious. Brookdale Creve Coeur was high on the choice list, but they just don’t have what we need. The staff was very good and friendly, and we had a nice tour. When I was there, there were some people playing games, swimming, and doing various activities. The dining area was beautiful. "

"My mother is a resident in memory care. I am so pleased! The memory care is newly renovated and beautiful! The studio room is just the right size for her needs. The staff is awesome. From my first visit, I saw "a culture of caring" that has only been amplified in Mom's transition from Assisted Living to Memory Care. I'm able to visit often and see the care! The staff knows the residents and their needs. There are planned activities, but the staff is very responsive to what the residents like and need. My mom especially enjoys sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard area. We have also found the director and all the management staff to be accessible, responsive, helpful, and supportive of us too! Our family did extensive research to find a place for Mom. Autumn View Gardens has provided the care and loving kindness our beloved mother deserves. "

"Autumn View Gardens - Ellisville was very nice. Someone had moved out of one of their rooms, and they were getting it ready for another person to come in. And so it was clean and very nice. The staff who gave the tour was very personable, very informative, and very nice. She gave me the tour with no hesitation. The dining area looked nice. It had tables and chairs. They had some different things on the tables for decoration. The staff showed me that they have activities like crafts and things like that in another area. The staff was great. She was very personable."

"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."

"I've chosen here for my mom, and she has moved in there. It's been great. It's very clean. The people there are very nice, and they seemed to actually care about the residents there. I feel comfortable with my mother being there. They keep them occupied to a great deal. I appreciate that as far as just sitting in her room, they've got stuff for her to do every day."

"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 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."

"It is a nice place. They have a gym where a person comes in and does physical therapy with the residents. They also have somebody that comes in and does music. My brother lives in a 1-bedroom apartment. He has someone that comes in and makes his bed (if he wants it) and washes his clothes. They keep his apartment clean. The food is excellent. He likes it and eats all of it (and I've eaten there a couple of times, too.) There is a park down the street. They can walk there wherever they want. They also have a library, a game room, and a little room with comfortable chairs to just chat with family members."

"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."

"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."
