Independent Living Communities in Florissant, MO

"It is a beautiful facility. The staff are caring and professional. They have fun and creative activities and the food is delicious. A great place to live"

"My mom is a resident of Lake St Charles Retirement Community. It's wonderful. They recently remodeled the inside, and they are always upgrading the apartment. If someone moves out they upgrade before anybody else moves in, and the staff was very kind. My mom's room is very comfortable. She enjoys it, and we can personalize it. It's very well done inside and out. She has been able to participate in the activities throughout the years, but right now she cannot. They have a variety of activities on campus and off campus. They take a bus to the casinos about once a month. They give them opportunities to go to various shopping centers or the grocery store. They have Bible studies, music entertainment, and worship services."

"My mother-in-law is moving here. They provide meals and she needed that. I thought she needed someone else to be there and help her in and out of the shower but she can actually bathe herself because their shower is a regular handicap shower so she probably won't have any trouble with it. As soon as we walked in the door, it's a beautiful place. It's roomy and airy. They took us on a tour and we saw the room that was available. It's been redone, it's beautiful, big and airy. It has big bay windows in it that made it really nice and homey. It also made it airy, you won't feel like you're closed in. We continued on and the facility was made into a big square so you can't really get lost, you just continue walking and you'll get to your room. Everything about it made me feel like I want to move in. It's a really, really nice facility. We're really happy and just overly impressed with everything. The activities and amenities were presented to us, they had them on a paper and we looked at the activities that they had and things going on. They told us that if she would want to go to Walmart or somewhere else, they had somebody with a van that takes whoever wants to go. They go places or take them to doctor appointments, it's all available for them. They're making their people feel like they're home away from home, for sure. They're not going to feel like they're closed in. It's definitely not like a nursing home and it's very, very nice."

"I toured Tower Grove Manor. I liked the rooms. They're just too high for me. The place seemed good to me. They have a community place where you can sit out. The rooms were very nice. The staff was nice."

"The Rockwood is set up very nicely for independent living. There are exercise facilities, a laundry room, a sitting room, and a dining room. Most of the time, the lunch is available if you want it, but since it's an independent facility, most of the tenants eat out. The facility serves breakfast, lunch, and brunch on Sundays just in case you come back from church and want to eat. It's a really nice setting even though it's by an old railroad track. The Rockwood is an old, country-style living community, and it's quite quaint. The building has elevators, and all of the rooms are excellently done with wood trim. They have a cart inside if you need assistance getting around. The building has been updated. The people there are very kind, nice, and understanding. The rooms have nice views and outside patios. There are about three entrances, and the residents have their own parking lot. Residents can do gardening. The staff actually takes care of the patios, but if they like, the tenants can do it as well. It is a very nice setting, and it's a very nice area. "

"The Emerson at St. Peters was a good place, but they wanted $3000, and I couldn't get $3000. The VA said that they would reimburse me, but they wouldn't give me any money upfront. The Emerson at St. Peters was nice. The tour was wonderful. It was great. The tour guide was very good, too. I enjoyed the tour. I just couldn't afford it. The staff was very thorough. The room was sufficient. The common area was nice. There was a storm the day I was there, and it was hailing, but it was still a pretty decent area. It was a nice area from what I could tell."

"I toured Harvester Residential Care. I appreciated the warm welcome that I received. Everyone that I spoke with was very kind, friendly, and helpful. They answered my questions. I was glad to be able to see the assisted living center, as well as the group housing options. My questions were answered, and I received literature and a card to take home if we wanted additional information or assistance. The menu was posted. It was very helpful, also. They have outdoor spaces near the driveway, near the front entrance. I saw comfortable chairs, and the grounds were very well-maintained."

"I toured Clarendale of St. Peters. It's a very lovely building. They had a little courtyard. It was a very lovely place to be. They have a lot of things for the residents to do, physical therapy, and different things, but it's mostly the cost that turned me down on that one. The staff was good, kind, and gave me plenty of information."

"I moved into Holiday Briarcrest Estates. It's a very good place. The staff is great. They're very helpful. The food is really good. It's three meals a day. The people who live here are very friendly. It's got a lot of good stuff about it."

"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."

"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."

"My brother has moved into Solstice Senior Living at Fenton. My brother is in a little apartment and gets his meals and everything. The apartment is 350 square feet. He is on the first floor. They have everything. They have a lot of stuff that he can join in and do. They have a bus to take them to places. I love it and he loves it, so that's all that matters. The building is very nice. It smells like a restaurant. I love everything about it. There's nothing negative about the place that I found."

"I chose Creek Valley Retirement Community. It was modern. It was larger than the ones I looked at and had more activities and amenities. There's a movie with 150 seats, games and cards, and, my daughter's particularly interested in art, and there are some art things. The staff was very helpful and cheerful. The residents were very nice. They came up to me and asked if I like to play this game and they were very pleasant."

"I like my apartment I like most of the activities that we do It's clean and friendly its a good place to live"
