Independent Living Communities in St Joseph, MO

"The staff is very caring. It took a while for us to learn to communicate well but they have been quite receptive to answering our concerns and questions. "

"I lived in Corby Place Senior Living's independent living. They were all very nice. If you needed help the nurses would help you. I really like all of their rooms. They all have at least one bedroom, and there were no studio apartments. The upkeep was pretty good, and if you have problems you can always call the maintenance. The parking area also had plenty of room for everybody. They had quite a few activities. They had bingo, and they gave away Christmas gifts. They do different stuff. I also liked their food. If you don't like what they have, you can always order something else."

"Country Squire was a great place, but we can't afford it right now. I saw some ladies doing some crafts and some were playing cards. I saw a few different activities. The staff was very friendly, very informative, and very helpful. I didn't eat the food, but it looked OK."

"The place seems clean but some of the workers can be rude to the elderly. They put things too high up on shelves for them to reach & so forth. I often hear complaints about the food as well. Other than that the facility seems alright. "

"My aunt is in Field Pointe. It's a brand-new facility. She's in the memory care section. It's a very nice place. It has good and caring staff. They have plenty of room for more people right now. The assisted living portion is 30 units and they only have 14 or 15 people in it right now. Memory care is 15 units and they only have three or four people in that right now. The rooms look like apartments. They have a private entrance. She has a studio apartment and it's partially furnished. It has a bed, dresser, and a chair. It has a rather large bathroom and a rather large walk-in closet. The staff is very friendly and caring. My aunt says that the food is good. I expected her to complain about the food, but apparently the chef there is pretty good. The dining area looks like an upscale restaurant and it has cloth napkins. It's not the cheapest place that we looked at, but they pushed all the right buttons. Americare will help with getting Medicaid once the funds run out. They have skilled nursing facilities in other places and they pretty much have a place should my aunt's condition deteriorate and she needs skilled nursing. They have lots of activities. They play bingo cards and they had a Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras type celebration. They have a Facebook presence and I can look at what they're doing. They have a fitness room, a movie theater, and a salon. They don't charge for manicures, but they charge for haircuts. It's brand new and I met the maintenance fellow. He seemed to know what he was doing, and he got her pictures on the wall and it looked very nice. It's the best facility I've ever been to."
