Westview at Ellisville Assisted Living & Memory Care

My overall experience with Westview was very good. The rooms were spacious, and the meals were structured well. The staff seemed very pleasant and outgoing. They had the standard tours. The price seemed to be comparable with others, but the location wasn't as convenient as it was the furthest from me.

Westview is now my home. The staff is helpful, pleasant, and eager to make us comfortable in this environment. The facilities are kept clean and well maintained. We are offered entertainment and other activities to keep us busy and happy.

Westview was not bad. It was older, more institutional and did not have the homey feel to it, but they were professional. It would have been OK, but it was just hallways and walls. There were doors with numbers on them, almost like hotel rooms.

I can't say enough good things about Westview! My father has been treated with respect by the caring and friendly staff and has acclimated much faster than I ever anticipated. There are plenty of activities to keep him occupied and with the staff's help, he already has some buddies he hangs out with. He loves the food. The apartments are clean, modern and everything about the place indicates "first class". Any questions or concerns I have had, have been addressed quickly and professionally by the competent staff. I visited numerous assisted living facilities prior to selecting Westview for my Dad. During my visits to Westview everything pointed to this being "the place". But the deciding factor was the overwhelming approval from friends whose parents resided here. I highly recommend Westivew!

I visited Westview, and it seemed like their activities were a little bit more mainstream than some of the other facilities. As far as extra physical activities, they have things like Wii bowling, Wii tennis, and things like that, which should keep them a little bit more up active. They had trips and all that kind of stuff. The rooms were gorgeous. They had a small dining area and a place for a bed, a TV, a dresser, and extra seating. I would say they were spacious. The dining area was set up restaurant style.

She’s in Westview Assisted Living. It’s a small community; it’s very important for us and for her that it’s not very overwhelming. It’s just a very nice facility. It’s only 2 years old. It’s a very beautiful building. The grounds are very nice and kept very clean. The rooms are laid out well with big windows and up to date. They have a little kitchenette that is very accessible, and the bathroom is very easy to get into. There’s no step to get into the shower which is nice. Everyone is so nice and so helpful. They have little buttons they wear around their neck. You press it and they come to help with anything. They check on them regularly and go to their room and ask if they want to come to the different activities to try to get them involved. There are a lot of activities to choose from. They have a little sing along, exercise, and movie every day. I’ve eaten there about four times; the food is good. They have a menu they can order off of as well as a special for each meal each day. They have a private dining room if family want to come and eat with them. We’ve been very happy with it.

My mother is at Westview at Ellisville. The facility is clean and new. The staff is very nice and she has been there for a little over a year now. The whole place is lovely. The facility is very clean. The only negative I have is that I feel like they don’t feed the healthiest food. They offer them processed food, but that is only my concern because mom likes the food. The staff are pretty good.

I went by Westview. I thought it was pretty good. I've gone over there in the past for a few things they had going on like bingo. They've always been real courteous to me. I thought the rooms are pretty nice, very adequate and they're bigger than some of the other ones. They have different speakers come in. And they had someone come by to help if a person is moving to a facility, they could help them with selling their house.

I have a family member living in this facility. The staff is great and the residents are surrounded by beautiful rooms. The issue is the food. The brochure pictures a filet mignon, a lobster tail, fresh asparagus and a baked potato. Well you will never see anything like that at this facility, not that anyone is asking for a menu of that caliber. The food is bland and the menu may change, but the same food is sent out, only with a different name. It appears the restaurant chef knows one flavor: bland. And hopefully your family likes overcooked everything, for that is what you get from this kitchen. Mushy pasta, hockey puck hamburgers, and dry fish. When a person gets to this stage in their life, food is one thing they look forward to, yet they will not get any satisfaction from Westview. I know complaints are made, and I frequently hear them myself, yet the elderly are afraid of saying anything, as they don't want to be targeted as trouble makers...they need these people to help them, so the complaints are either ignored or never spoken. Westview looks really nice, but they should have focused more on what the residents want and less on expensive decor.

My dad has moved in to Westview Assisted Living. It's close to our home so it's convenient for us. The facility is clean. Their apartments are bigger and cheaper than most in the area. The price point is lower for the square foot that you are getting. The staff and the residents are very nice and friendly. They do activities everyday, like X-box bowling, bingo, and field trips. He enjoys most of these activities. They also do ice cream socials and some guys would come in and play the piano. They also have them work out in the morning. Food is okay though it might be a little bit bland but that's understandable because of some health issues. We just like everything about it.

Westview at Ellisville Assisted Living was a very nice facility; very new and fresh. The staff was very cooperative. They actually decorated the rooms really nice. It would have been our second choice. If we had not gone to Delmar, we probably would have brought my mother-in-law there.

My husband was in Westview for eight days. It went really well. It was a really good experience. Everybody was just as nice as can be. My husband didn't mind us being there. He got along with everybody and they liked him and he likes that. It's brand new, so I don't know what it's going to look like in a few years. I want to use them again for respite care.

My great grandmother is quite elderly to the point that no body could take care of her any longer. We put her in this home because it was near where she currently lives. I think what make me most comfortable with this home is the customer service and the nice staff. The nurses are so kind and know my family by name-all of us! The staff really cares about her, everyone from the nurses, to the cleaning staff to the kitchen staff. You can tell they all love their jobs. The facility is very clean and never smells bad. I like to visit my grandmother a lot, there is a nice room where we can visit and play games and watch television. There is also a nice play to sit outside during nice days. There are plenty of places nearby as well to take her to lunch or grocery shopping. I am glad my family put here here!

My father was estranged from his father but they reconnected as my grandfather's health deteriorated. We went to visit him a few times and I was actually really surprised at how nice the facility was. The staff all seemed friendly enough and knew my grandfather on a first name basis and also showed some familiarity with us. That is to say, they must've spent time talking with him about life and family in general as they were aware of his family and showed courtesy to us. The facility was in a nice area and was well-kept and clean. As a small after-thought, my dad liked the fact that they gave him a couple smoke breaks a day. He was a chain smoker and this served to durastically cut down on his smoking but also gave him something to look forward to each day.
