Memory Care Communities in Wentzville, MO

"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."

"Harvester Residential Care is close to where the family can all come and see my mom. It is also close to her home, so she can go home if she wants to. The second reason we chose it is because of money; it's pretty reasonable. I think Harvester Residential Care is a good place for my mom. They have a good reputation. All the residents seem happy, and every one of the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Today is her second day; however, my first impressions are very good. They have bowling, they take them shopping, they see movies, and they play cards. It really seems like they're trying to keep their people entertained and active. I met the activities director, and she was very energetic. Mom is sharing a room with another lady. The only thing I don't like about it is that there is no bathroom in the room. The bathroom is across the hall."

"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."

"We have a place reserved at Sunrise of Chesterfield for my friend. They accepted her, but when they checked her out, they realized she was being treated for wounds on her legs and they could not do that treatment there, so then she went to skilled nursing and will go to Sunrise. I was the one that went and chose it for her. I was very impressed with it. I had a very good feeling the minute I walked in the door. It was warm and friendly. It just said to me this is the place. We did a physical visit and I looked at the rooms and they were very nice. The facility was very nice, clean, they had lots of good activities, good things to try to keep her going, exercise classes, and a nice dining area with the other residents. The thing I liked about it is it's small. There's another floor of memory care which I did not see. The staff during the tour was very good, showed me everything, was pleasant to work with, very directive, and straightforward. They have come to assess her twice to see if she's ready to come there. It's just very nice. I looked at other places and some of them were just way too big. There is a nice entranceway. I didn't look out back but I think there's space out in the back as I recall. I've had several people say, "Oh, yeah, that place is nice.""

"I like Friendship Village Chesterfield. It's a little bit more expensive and a little bit out of my range, but I like it. All the accommodations were lovely. People were starting to go out and visit. Relatives were starting to come in to visit also. It was a really nice place. The staff was great. It was the sales manager. She knew a couple of the residents, and she has been there for a while. She was the sales director, and she brought in her dog to work because they like dogs there. They had some beautiful places and a library. They had 2-bedrooms, 1-bedrooms, studios, and 1-bedroom and a nook. They were all pretty much standard."

"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."

"My mom had heard about Autumn View Gardens - Ellisville in her independent living facility and some people that she lived with, in their independent community elsewhere had chosen it as an assisted living community, so that's where she's going too. Also, it's close and she wanted to stay within her realm of doctors. It had a lot of greenery around it, and she liked that part. The rooms are beautiful. They are somewhat smaller, but it's definitely enough and sometimes it's better to go smaller when seniors are not as mobile. It was lovely and they all had windows that looked upon some element of the green around there. So, that's nice. My mom was able to try the food and she said it was very good. The dining room's beautiful because it's all windows, like a floor-to-ceiling kind of window, which was so pretty. They have exercises and different activities that take them out to different places at times, and other activity programs. I saw the activity room, which was also beautiful and had windows all around. The person who gave the tour was great and my mother was very happy and satisfied with what she was going to receive and what her room was going to be like."

"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. "

"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."

"This facility is the home to a great-aunt of mine. I always enjoy visiting her in this home. There are consistently activities and festivities happening. She has normal services available to her including postal, beauty, light shopping, and a full service gym. As an active senior, she enjoys the freedom but also fellowship that this particular center offers her. The only negative I've heard her mention is the high rollover of nursing staff. On visits, the facility appears clean and welcoming. "

"Autumn View was the perfect match for my parents...big enough to have all the needed services (like physical therapy and activities) but small enough to be easy to navigate and have a very personal feel and touch. Staff is friendly, leadership is effective. When my dad passed, there was a loving community to support my mom. As her abilities decline, there are friends, neighbors, and staff to help her get the most out of her day to day life. We are at 3+ years of very good experience and running...I highly recommend. "

"Sunrise of Des Peres was our second choice, but the rooms were not laid out well for what we were looking for and they were a little more expensive. It was a very nice and clean facility and I still had a very positive experience. The staff was very courteous. They had games and interactions with the residents. They seemed very nice and very capable of providing good service."

"I toured the Fields of Florissant. The community is very nice. The staff and the residents there were friendly. I did not get to see a lot of the facility, just when I walked into the dining area and the recreation area. I saw two of the rooms, the studio apartment and the one-bedroom apartment. Both apartments were very nice. The bathrooms were large and spacious. I like the one-bedroom apartment for my mom. Everything there was pretty much updated. I liked that they offered a microwave, a refrigerator, and a sink area inside each facility. It was a large facility, and the entire place seemed very clean. She introduced me to the activities director and said that she was very creative and always came up with different activities for them to do. It was Halloween-themed at the time, and there were activities around that."

"My mom is in Village Center Care of Wentzville, and they take good care of her. The doctor and workers are very good and nice. The facility needs to be updated, and they're working on that. They have an open area where you can go outside and smoke."
