Tower Grove Manor

My tour at Tower Grove Manor was fine. The staff members were very friendly. The rooms were adequate. It was Valentine's Day when I toured it, so they had a Valentine's Day party going on. They had what they call the community room. They had puzzles in there, they had some books in there, and they had some refreshments in there. It's kind of like a little gathering place for the residents. It's in a great location within the city. They can have a car, and it's on a main bus route. There's a grocery store right next door, so it's kind of convenient.

Tower Grove Manor was wonderful. The people there were so nice. I was going to rent a studio apartment, and it was huge. Anybody that moves there is lucky. They had dining, a gym, and church services. They had everything. The staff during the tour was very nice. She still actually calls to check on me. I did want to move in there. The apartment I was looking at had a huge walk-in closet, a walk-in shower, a dining room, a full kitchen, and a huge room, which would be the main room. They have one- and two-bedroom also. I was just looking for a studio, and the price was really good.

Tower Grove Manor is wonderful. The whole staff members are terrific. I could not ask for better people. The building is kept clean. They are refurbishing a 100-year-old building that has been let go, but in the last month or so, they have made great strides in improving things. Other than the high cost of living here, it's a terrific place. The meals are good occasionally. It's an independent living, but if you want to have assisted care, you can hire it.

My cousin is at Tower Grove Manor. For what it is, it is a reasonable cost. He just feels like that's where he needs to be all the time, as long as he's physically able. Economically, that's the best thing for him right now. He has a bathroom and a kitchen. He's happy and satisfied with all the workers and the staff there. He has air-conditioning/heating, freezer/refrigerator, microwave, stove, kitchen cabinets, a kitchen, and a sink. He's got public transportation and they have an elevator in there. He can go outside on a patio. He's real happy with the food. The staff has been pleasant to me and they have maintenance there that's been really good to help my cousin.

The Tower Grove Manor worked out very well for my parents. They were very accommodating there. It is very spacious. They put in new carpeting/new flooring. It is definitely a very old building, but they keep it very clean. The staff are just really nice and the apartments are very large. I can't think of anything that they really haven't done. They responded well to everything. I consider it is old. The food was good and now it's not so good. It is kinda hard to judge because of COVID, it's pretty sparse, but I know they had ample oactivities, but now they don't because of it. So I don't really feel like I can judge that at this time. They have a gym, a small room that they use for the gym. They have students from Wash-U that live there and in return for free rent, they help the residents. They all go out and get food or help them running errands or get done something, like a TV issue or something there to help them, which is really nice. They were graduate students. A lot of them are getting their doctorate and things. They have a garden outback, which is a nice outdoor garden area for the dogs. There's a lot of dogs.
