"In the last 12 months Town & Country Senior Living, has had: 2 Executive Directors, 4 Director of Wellness, High turnover of staff, Unable to get direct email for staff (had to go through main line), Poor communication between residents, staff, family and in house doctor, less than a year it has changed ownership again."

"The meals were consistently very good with very attentive service and pretty goof selections. Adequately staffed in what must be a difficult labor market and all very friendly. Weekly events all day long it seemed. Library visits, movies, entertainment... Never saw the old place but the renovations are beautiful. Theater is awesome!"

"My mom has moved into St. Louis Hills Assisted Living and Memory Care. The place is clean. The staff seems pretty friendly. The rooms are adequate. Plus, it's close to my home. That's one determining factor. And the price is reasonable. They supply a refrigerator and a microwave. There's no cooking in the room or anything. They've done everything we've asked and have answered all our questions. So far, they've been really good. The staff members have all been friendly and willing to help. Nobody said no to any requests. When I asked for help for my mom, they gave her the help she needed. So far, so good. The food looks decent. It looks better than the last place she was in. They have activities. They put a little calendar out, but I hadn't had a chance to look at it. They have a patio with a little bit of garden."

"Our second choice for my father-in-law would be Brookdale West County, but it is beyond his budget, and it costs more. It is new, it's really pretty, and they have friendly staff, too. It is also small, and we like that about it. It's a good location, and there are a lot of places around. It's also very well kept, clean, and well maintained."

"It's been about two years since I visited Friendship Village Chesterfield, and the layout was very good. It's very attractive housing. I was there for my rehab about three or four years ago after my back surgery. The people that worked in the rehab did an excellent job. They were very caring, and they were all very, very nice and helpful. The food was terrific. I was looking for independent living and a total life care experience."

"We toured Friendship Village Sunset Hills. The price is probably out of our reach because it's so expensive and you have to buy in like a couple hundred thousand dollars. We didn't see apartments; we just got an overall view. We walked around the common areas and the restaurants. They have a library and a sewing room. We were impressed by most of that. If we follow up, we were going to see an apartment on the next visit. However, everything was immaculate. We didn't meet a lot of staff. We met the woman who gave us the tour, and some residents walked by and exchanged pleasantries with us, but there wasn't a lot of interaction. The person was very professional. We walked around outside, and it was gorgeous. They have villas, garages, a basement, and everything, and that's what we were interested in. We like all the workout areas. They have a sewing room with lots of long tables and stuff where I could continue to take my stuff and quilt. So that impressed me, of course. Also, they have a path you can walk, and it's like a mile path."

"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 Sunrise of Chesterfield was good. We put a $1,000 deposit down, but it's further away than where my father is now so we changed our minds. This place was cheaper and appeared to be a lot better. The problem is, they still haven't returned my $1,000, and it's been about three weeks now. The staff was very accommodating and very nice. I liked the birds, saltwater aquarium, and the friendliness of the staff. The rooms were nice, too. "

"The tour was fine. We just walked around, and we saw the place, and everything looked nice and clean. The person who accommodated me was very informative and she knew everything. The rooms were fine. There's nothing wrong with them. Pretty much every place we toured, they all kind of looked the same. There are no activities right now due to COVID, but they're just getting back to mealtime with two people at a table. There was a little library."

"I would rate Harvester Residential Care high. My daughter went with me, too. The people are very pleasant. I like how everything is situated. The owner buys houses, and each house has either two or three bedrooms or four bedrooms, and he rents out the bedrooms. You're renting out a bedroom a month, but you're sharing the house with two people or one person. It's like a college dorm. He owns 22 houses. He took us on two tours. I'm taking the lowest one, which is $1,600. That's a lot of money for one bedroom, but it's all fully furnished. If you don't like the furniture, you tell him. He said that one time, the man who moved in didn't like the rug and all that. They pulled up the rug and a put in a new one. He'll give you a new mattress. You got a bed, a dresser, a lamp, a TV, and a landline phone. Their programs are nice. There's bingo three times a week, and you get two meals a day, which is all included in the price. The meals he showed us looked good. They deliver the meals to your house. There's a nurse and a doctor on call. I'm hoping to get there, but the problem is you don't have your own bathroom. It's a shared bathroom. The houses were nice. There's a living room, a dining room, a nice kitchen, and a washer and a dryer. If you are too weak to do anything, they have a person who will take care of the houses. They do the housecleaning, and if I don't want to wash my clothes, they'll wash my clothes or change the bed."

"I am very pleased with Avalon Memory Care St. Louis. They are one of the few places that could take care of my dad's needs. They are a memory care and assisted living type of place, but it's more than just assisted living. They're wonderful people that work there. We have been in contact with them, so that my dad can go back. The facility itself is very nice. Since its COVID, the activities are limited. I have seen some. They played some music and stood outside. The whole building is for memory care."

"We were going to get Mom in Mcclay Senior Care, but before she could be transported over there, she passed away. It was big and clean. The facility is only four years old. The people were nice and very accommodating for the short period of time that we were there. The staff was nice and friendly. It was very clean. Mom was gonna be there for hospice."

"I liked Autumn View Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care. They have what I was looking for in assisted living for my brother. They have the multiple bedroom shared apartments, where each person has a separate bedroom, but they share the kitchen and the bathroom. I think that it provides for a cheaper solution. They have some very nice open shared areas for the community residents. It is very nice. The staff is very knowledgeable, very welcoming, and very good."

"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."
