"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."

"Our family had never heard of Brooking Park until we needed an unplanned skilled level of care for a relative. They had an opening when we needed one and I found out that they were caring,met my aunt's needs, kept me posted and were very responsive until her last day. I would recommend Brooking Park and their team. "

"I toured a place called Brookdale Creve Coeur. It's very nice. It has an outdoor space. It has a large pond with a pathway around it. It doesn't have enough outdoor space to sit. It has a nice terrace, but it's not very large. The facilities were nice, but that was my third choice. The staff who toured me was fine, too. The staff seemed to be very top-notch. I looked at the menu. It looked very nice and complete. They had a pool, recreational areas, a theater, and exercise stuff."

"Autumn View Gardens is absolutely wonderful. My brother lives there and the staff is beyond-belief caring and friendly. The facility is inviting, warm and super clean. The medical staff is talented, professional, and extraordinarily responsive to the needs of the residents. My brother loves his room with an outdoor balcony, the coffee and snacks that are provided all day, the housekeeping and laundry that are provided for him and the 24 hour medical care. I simply cannot say enough positive things about AVG!"

"The staff at The Solana has been very helpful. They were very helpful with my mom moving in from one facility to the other and as far as giving her medications, that has been a great improvement from where she was before. I'm just comfortable that she is getting the care that she needs. The facility always looks very clean. My mother seems to like the food. They have a chef who does cooking demonstration and she enjoys those. At The Solana, their front door area is staffed 24 hours a day, so there is not a concern if she gets out and gets there after the doors are locked. She just pushes the intercom or whatever and she is immediately into the building. That was just a lot better than the other facility. Also, they have a nurse on every floor and one that is there 24 hours a day as well. "

"My mother will be moving into Autumn View Gardens - Ellisville. It is in a different league. The people that are there, you can see life in their eyes. They're engaged. They're not just a beating heart and a mouth to feed. They had a luau and they made tie-dyed shirts. They had an Elvis impersonator. They bake cookies for the support dogs that come in. It's like a mother hen and her little chicks, the way they bring them all together at mealtimes in one place. They don't let them eat in their rooms alone. They have this giant front porch with chairs and swings. It's covered and it is just delightful. The staff members are happy to be there. They love their jobs. One other thing I really like about this one is that it's all-inclusive. They don't nickel and dime you for everything. There are no surprise charges. It feels like sunshine. It feels so good. They have welcoming parties when people come and move in. I can't wait for her to get there."

"The Boulevard at Wentzville is very nice. They have exercise, they set aside a room where you can have your family in for a luncheon or dinner, and you can reserve the space. They have a snack bar that's open twenty-four hours a day, they have a restaurant that's open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and when you go in the waiter comes to your table. They have activities, and they have a swimming pool; it's very pretty. They showed us a room that was a two-bedroom, and we've been looking for a two-bedroom, so they had to wait for one to open. So I haven't seen the room, but I've seen the floor plan, and it was very nice. The person who showed me around during the tour was extremely nice, extremely informative, and went above and beyond in answering questions and getting copies of the floor plan for the one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. It was a beautiful entry, the people there greeted us and checked us for COVID, asked questions, took our temperatures, and had sanitizer there. They took us to the welcoming rooms, and then the person who was taking us to look at the rooms came in and gave us a tour of the place. It also has a beauty shop and a billiard room, and it was very nice."

"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 have moved in. Everything is on time, and everybody is really nice. The place is clean and it doesn't smell. When you call the staff, they come pretty quickly. However, the food is better than the place where I was at last. I haven't had much of a chance to access anything other than just the apartment and the dining room. I think the activities are good overall. The value for the money is very good, too. I don't have to provide too much of my own things because everything else is provided."

"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."

"Promenade Senior Living was very nice, but it was probably $1500 to $2000 more than the other place. It's a high rise. You walk in and it's beautiful, but it's dark, has an oppressive feeling, and is sterile. The staff was polite. Before I went to the other place, Promenade was my top choice. My interaction with the front desk was minimal, but the lady who did the tour was great."

"The staff here was very, very nice. The atmosphere was very warm and very inviting, but the apartments were not complete apartments. They didn't have stoves, for instance. I was looking for a more complete apartment living situation. Their dining area was very nice. I saw a group of residents doing a painting activity. They looked very happy and content, including the people that I passed on the hall. I didn't like it because I didn't care fo the neighborhood. I wouldn't have been comfortable in that neighborhood. At my age, I'm less interested at hanging out in the Loop or being close to it than I was years ago. The facility itself is new, so it's very clean and nice."

"I like that the St. Louis Hills Assisted Living and Memory Care facility was so bright, there were lots of windows. The facility was clean, the staff was very friendly and I saw a lot of activity. The residents that were there that I saw appeared to be happy, they were friendly as we were walking through the halls, which says a lot. The staff who gave the tour was very informative, friendly, and empathetic with what was going on with me and my family. The cleanliness and everything were great. My only concern is that it's an older building and it's like seven floors, with elderly, that was my only concern. But they were able to go over emergency evacuation plans with me, which made me much more comfortable with that. The rooms had a refrigerator and a microwave."
