The Best Memory Care Communities in Saint Francois County, MO

"We liked how small The Arbors at Maplebrook was. The rooms were really large. They had a lot of scheduled activities. What's kinda cool there is, besides their cafeteria, they have what looks like a setup kitchen, and they will cook with the residents, but it's just like five potatoes and onions, because it brings back memories. They can be in that kitchen setting like at home. It was very much more like an at home kind of feeling, and that's what we liked more about that one. They have a doorway so you can go outside, but it's fenced. It's secure and they have cameras out there, but they can't get out the main door. The rest of the whole facility, all the doors open up into the common areas, so there are no long halls. They have a sitting area and a sidewalk, and it goes the length of the building, like if they have a walker. It's concrete, but there's grass on the sides and flowers. It's not just one little area, they could actually walk a good length outside."

"We toured Cedarhurst of Farmington. I think it's very well organized. One of the things they mentioned and one of the main things we saw was that it did not seem to be assisted living of any sort, more importantly like independent living, more like a resort-type property, clean, and smelled good. It was just nothing like any other place we had ever toured. The staff was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and caring. They had a movie theater room. They had physical therapy. If they needed walking, they had walking areas. They had courtyards and numerous activities. There's something to keep you busy all the time. They offered food, but it did not work for us at that moment, but I do know that they have won numerous awards for their food service. That's one of the big things they've gotten."

"My spouse is a current resident and is very well cared for. His room is cleaned often and is very spacious. We can set it up how we wish. The food is good and he has a variety. The staff are friendly and caring and many have worked there for a long time. Administration, nursing and social services are always willing to listen and resolve any concerns. There are many Dr's to choose from."

"My grandpa loved. Crystal Oaks unsure at first, but the way staff made him feel he was a part of the family he loved when he would go out with family in on holidays and weekends he would worry about getting back home. No better feeling that caring and loving staff are out there he passed peacefully with his family including the Crystal oaks staff by his side. Excellent rehab as both grandparents spent time on it. Thanks for all those hard working ladies and gentleman for such great care from nurses, aides, transport, housekeeping, therapy, activities and management."
