Independent Living Communities in Saint Louis, MO

"Friendship Village Sunset Hills was too expensive for me. If I had the money, I would stay there. They were friendly. The real estate lady was upfront with me. They were very nice. The place was clean. They offered good things."

"It was the place I was trying to get my husband into. It was 5 minutes from my house, and I tried to get him there, but he was too sick for them. It's a beautiful place. We went and toured their memory care and it was very nice and very neat. It was a beautiful place on the inside and outside. The room was lovely and very, very nice. I only saw one and it had a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom. The staff who assisted us was also very nice."

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

"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 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."

"My dad moved to Garden Place Columbia because it's close to me. He could have his dog there. They were very professional, very polite, and very helpful. The food has good taste, good presentation, good quality, and quantity. The facility is very clean and updated. They have bands that come, they have bonfires, they have trips, and they go on all kinds of activities that they do."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"My mother is in Garden Place Senior Living - Millstadt Community. It's in a neighborhood rather than in a business park. It's only one level and only has 36 clients. It smells good. The staff seems to be very good and it has good food. They have regular meals and they often have ice cream socials. They have activities like Bingo, chair yoga, and mindfulness. They have celebrations for the holidays and they have a system where they give the person a dollar every time that they show up to one of thes activities. They can spend their dollars in a store there where they can buy cookies, toiletries, or different things. It's a good incentive. It seems to work for my mother to get her to attend things. They seem to be responsive to my mother's needs. They keep us informed of what's going on with her. They tend to feed the residents a lot of sandwiches and soup, but that's what they seem to like. The staff is well-trained, they're good at their jobs, and they care about the clients that they have. It's well worth the price. She's independent, and she's still able to do most everything for herself."

"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."

"My mom stayed at St. Paul's Senior Community. She went to the rehabilitation section. She stayed for two weeks while they monitored her blood pressure and blood sugars, and physical and occupational therapy. They had a great staff, very friendly people, and were responsive any time I had questions for them. They took very good care of my mom, so she felt very comfortable there. They have a very nice facility in comparison to others in the area. This place was very clean. I feel comfortable there. My mother did not have a problem with the food, but her issue was blood sugar, so therefore she had to restrict herself and what she was eating."

"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."
