Memory Care Communities in Wentzville, MO

"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 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 recently passed but she had previously lived at Sunrise for the last 6 years. During the holidays someone played holiday tunes the piano each morning when my went to breakfast. The holiday gatherings hosted for us as the family to enjoy with mom was especially memorable. Serenity the lead housekeeper had such a special connection with Mom. Serenity always took time while cleaning Mom’s room to talk with her. Sunshine was another one of Mom’s favorite. Sunshine always brought a smile to Mom’s face. There are many more whose names escape me but made such a positive impact in Mom’s final years. To all of you at Sunrise - THANK YOU."

"My mother will be moving into Autumn View Gardens - Ellisville. It is in a different league. The people that are there, you can see life in their eyes. They're engaged. They're not just a beating heart and a mouth to feed. They had a luau and they made tie-dyed shirts. They had an Elvis impersonator. They bake cookies for the support dogs that come in. It's like a mother hen and her little chicks, the way they bring them all together at mealtimes in one place. They don't let them eat in their rooms alone. They have this giant front porch with chairs and swings. It's covered and it is just delightful. The staff members are happy to be there. They love their jobs. One other thing I really like about this one is that it's all-inclusive. They don't nickel and dime you for everything. There are no surprise charges. It feels like sunshine. It feels so good. They have welcoming parties when people come and move in. I can't wait for her to get there."

"We are choosing Oak Pointe of Washington for my husband. It opened less than a year ago and it's in our community, so he feels very comfortable. We'll probably have him there in a couple of weeks. We liked that it has a very good community life in memory care. The caregivers are very much involved with the residents. It is cheerful, sunny, and light. My husband also knew a couple of people who are in memory care that he knows from many years ago, so that was a bonus. The facility is very beautiful. The whole process of application to get in has been very, very thorough and very, very professional. I think he will be very happy there. Everybody has very positive energy. I know my husband will be very encouraged and I feel that he will improve. He's so looking forward to being there. The staff is tuned in to the people that they serve. The dining areas are just wonderful, cheerful, and comfortable. The atmosphere is wonderful. There is security. Before you go in, you call at the door and they will unlock the door for you to have you come in. And then when you go in, there's the dining area, which is all very open. There are two double doors that go out to a very large courtyard that is fenced in with a beautifully wrought iron fence with walkways, and it's self-contained. The rooms are bigger than where he is now. And looking at how the residents decorated their rooms, I believe it's a reflection of how they feel there - very homey, very cozy, and very clean. The outside appearance is beautiful. It's a smaller facility. "

"My father stayed a few weeks on the acute rehab side and then moved over to the skilled nursing care side for a few more weeks till he got strong enough to come home. First of all, the place is beautiful- both the rooms and overall facility. It is kept very nice and has a cheery atmosphere. It even has its own bakery that is open daily to get a sweet treat. The staff is attentive and patient and hard working on behalf of their patients. They responded to my calls and treated my father with extra special care. We were extremely nervous about having my father in a nursing home...and we got so LUCKY when we found Brooking Park. It was more like a home which was a grateful surprise! I/we highly recommend this facility!"

"I toured Brookdale West County. The experience was good. It's very neatly laid out. It is clean, and the staff is very friendly, and so is the lady who gave me a tour. Her name was Katie. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained. The food and dining area was very up-to-date. They have a library, a hair salon, a movie theater, and rooms for residents to have guests over for a larger party."

"I toured Autumn View Gardens - St. Louis. The tour was very good. All of the staff was excellent. The accommodations were very good. The price was good. It's a studio. It had a little mini kitchen and a bathroom, and I was impressed that the majority of them had an outside balcony. It was enclosed where they could sit out, so we were very impressed. They showed us the cafeteria area. They were there, and they'd been doing laundry, so we saw the process of putting your basket out and getting your basket back in with your clothes. They had a whole list of activities, which we were thrilled with, because, right now, my mom is sedentary. So, they had this big list of activities and everything that they offered. They had a calendar posted throughout the hallways. They had an exercise room, a courtyard, and a big space for families to gather if they wanted to come. They had a big seating area with couches and stuff for the family."

"If I could give the staff a 10 I would! They are compassionate, friendly and and even fun! With any care facility you are going to have concerns or issues with particular care, personality conflicts, or maybe just alot of questions. I know we did. This was my mother and I only wanted the very best for her. When I had these concerns the supervising staff was very attentive to fix the problem no matter how big or small. It warms my heart to go there and see her caregivers hugging,calling her sweet nicknames, and joking with her. I know we made the right decision. She has plenty of activities to keep her busy and she is very happy at Sunrise of Des Peres."

"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."

"The staff at Village Center Care of Wentzville was super nice and just caring. It was clean and felt up to date. You didn't feel like you were in an old place. The layout of the lunch room was just easy access and it was nice. They were just very friendly. It didn't seem like it was a job."

"The people at Twin Oaks at Heritage Pointe were very nice, very warm, and friendly. It's run as a family facility. It's very nice and everybody pays the same amount. It has two floors and mom would have been on the top floor, so that would have been an issue for her. However, they had the most awesome setup there. The layout was set up in pods where they have one living room and dining room, a gathering/great room in the middle, and all the resident's rooms were off of that. They each had a little sun porch or deck or something where they could go outside. They had game tables in the middle (in their great room area). I saw some women playing cards, and they all seemed to enjoy themselves. They were just a little pricey and their food was not restaurant-style. Whatever they're serving today, that is what they're having and I did not like that. They raved that they have a chef, but they don't kind of accommodate you. So, I wasn't impressed with their dining experience situation."

"I would highly recommend Caregivers Inn. My father was only here a short time, but in that time he was very well cared for. Staff went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and his needs were met. Excellent communication with staff and director at all times. My dad was treated like family here."
