Bethesda Southgate Saint Louis, MO

Most of the people at Bethesda were in wheelchairs and a lot worse off than my mother. They have a daycare place, which is one thing we were considering. They were doing a lot of construction, but it was clean.

I already have my husband placed at Bethesda Southgate. I chose it mostly for the location. I'm very satisfied with it. The food is good. They have assisted living and memory care. Also, a doctor is on staff there.

The staff are friendly and caring. It is more like a hospital than apartments. She has a roomate in a coma. A lot of the residents are vegetables and can be scary.

When I arrived at this nursing home, the appearance was very welcoming and inviting. Upon arrival inside, there was a slight smell of urine and just older residents smell. The place was very clean and it appeared to be very organized/structured within. The staff was very courteous and respectful to the residents. They had a rehabilitation room where the residents would/could get physical therapy to help with their joints. They had a lunch room which seemed like the residents really liked since it had a piano in there where they could listen to someone playing while they were eating their lunch/dinner. I would rate this visit as a 4 out of 5 stars.
