Nursing Home Communities in Chesterfield, MO

"The reason why my husband went into The Westchester House was because he needed peritoneal dialysis. His nurse from the dialysis clinic went over to try and train the staff, but the people there didn't have masks and they didn't wash their hands, so I was just horrified. Their dialysis is not good. They seemed to be good in just their nursing care. He was in an acute rehab center there, but nobody could get him back to being strong enough to use his walker. Some of the nursing staff was very good and very attentive, but others were not. It would depend on which nurse he had that day. You could tell that the building itself was getting old and probably wasn't maintained as well as it should have been. We didn't have to pay for it because Medicare paid for it."

"My doctor put me in the St. Luke's Rehabilitation Hospital. I just got out. It's wonderful. They're very good at what they do and what they do is physical and occupational therapy. You don't go there for the food. You go there because you're gonna work three hours a day at therapy. The staff was very competent. They knew what they were doing. They've closed their cafeteria because of COVID. They're building an extended care facility and all the food is coming from that place. They package it up into Styrofoam boxes and bring it around to all the rooms. They're avoiding the problems of having too many people in one room for food and Covid. We've all got to respect that. Being a hospital and trying to deal with Covid is a nightmare. The food was not great. It was OK food. It was difficult for me as a diabetic. It didn't have consistent numbers of carbohydrates in every meal and stuff like that I would look for. They couldn't tell me how many milligrams of sodium were in my meals. I'm used to tracking. They weren't responsible for making them, so they didn't know everything about them, but nobody was going to starve. It's beautiful, it's relatively new, it's very clean, and very nicely equipped."

"My dad lived at Surrey Place for 3 years. Everyone was very kind and friendly to him. The nurses are very caring and professional. The activities department has a variety of activities and engage the residents and families. The food is good and the residents are offered choices. The medical care was great. He was able to use the wonderful doctors at St. Luke's Hospital. His St. Luke's primary care doctor would come to Surrey Place to see him. It was very convenient. "

"My mother moved into Delmar Gardens West for about a week now. Most of the people seemed to be caring. The food seems to be good; she likes it. This weekend they were really short-staffed because people didn't show up, but I'm sure other nursing homes might be in the same situation. Other staff that were supposed to be off and came in, which was a good sign."

"The rooms at NHC HealthCare were nice, and I liked them. I only met the person who gave us the tour. She was nice, and the dining area was nice. The grounds were lovely, and I liked it a lot. "

"I went to Delmar Gardens On The Green. We looked more on their nursing facility father than their apartments because we were trying to determine if that is a good place for my sister. We were impressed by the sizes of the rooms and the staff. They were very helpful. The place was clean, bright, and cheerful. Their food is very good. They do have different activities like games, musicals, and transportation out of the campus. "

"My mother-in-law is in Mason Pointe. It has all levels of care there. It's a very nice facility. Everybody is very professional, very personal, and very communicative. Anytime I call, I get somebody to talk to me. When I come in, they come by. They have a liaison whose job is just to make sure all your questions are answered. They're very good about working with you to find exactly the right fit in place. It's a nice place. No place is perfect, but they come pretty close. The food is pretty decent. The grounds are kept up. They have activities directors on each floor. There's a manicurist that does nails. They have beauty days. There are lots of activities going on, parties, Mardi Gras, all kinds of stuff. As far as the residents being active and even when there's not a planned big activity, they keep everybody busy, depending on the floor and the level of care. They have movie time and they make popcorn. They keep everybody out of the rooms, not sitting around, but doing something. There might be coloring over here and crafts over here, and these guys are getting their nails done. They have activities directors and their only job is just to plan activities. Every place is expensive, but what you get for the money compared to the other places I looked at for the same price, I feel like you get better quality here. She is in skilled nursing. They also have assisted living. She can't do any activities and she can't do much, but they make it a point to get her up and get her out of the room. She's just mostly hanging around with the nurses at the nurses' station. They have them out with her so they can keep an eye on her so they can talk to her and she can people watch. They don't just leave her in her room all day. They make an effort to do as much as they can with her. It is a nice facility for that."

"We had to find a place for my aunt who was getting dementia. Visited a lot of high end places, settled on this facility located in a small neighborhood. BEST choice ever. Great Caring staff and wonderful activities. Very pleased all around. Best of all it was not the most expensive but was much nicer. "

"My father has moved into Parc Provence. He has been there for a week now. The care has been excellent. The staff is friendly. What I like most about it is that the facility itself is not your typical nursing home atmosphere. It is an actual community, and it looks very nice and very different. You would never guess that it's a nursing home. My father's room is a small studio, but that's all he needs. It's not much but they supply the bed, the dresser, and the closet. He has his own bathroom. And they encourage them to be out of their room and into the community, socializing and doing activities. My father is not in his room very much other than to sleep. They have different activities from art to music to storytelling. They have people come in and play live music for them. And they have people come in and help with artwork, baking, and cooking. When I was there the other day, one person sat down and just started reading a story. My father seems to like the food, too. It's very expensive, but it is worth it."

"Terrible place the nursing staff is inept and lazy , they do not treat their patients with the dignity they deserve and they are hostile to family members especially if family has any questions, We got our loved one out asap I did not think places like this existed and for the sisters of mercy to put their name on this is unbelievable "

"I felt Mercy St. Louis did a great job ensuring residents were properly cared for and secure. The staff was always very friendly and seemed to have some of the more helpful workers I've seen. The location of the care center next to a major interstate and Mercy Hospital made it easy to get to and from as well as allowed for an easy trip to the hospital for tests and doctors appointments. The interior of the care facility kind of gave off the sterile hospital feel however, with not much other than white floors and white walls. They didn't seem to have a whole lot of social events for the residents either, but this care facility had a lot of people unable to move on their own or really comprehend what was going on during a day-to day basis. I would however recommend this care facility for anyone who needs to put a love one in a facility able to care for more advanced cases of Dementia, Alzheimers, and other diseases that take a lot of care. "

"We chose this facility because it had a level for memory care. The size of it was really big for memory care compared to the other ones. The rest of the facilities i know of have like 20 beds available for memory care but this one actually has 75. Also it was a newer facility so we went with them. I like the convenience of where it's located. I like the different activities that they have planned for the day and their independence. My mom is happy. Her room is great and everyone has a private room. The staff is very nice so yes i would recommend this community. "

"We really like the Meadows (Bethesda Meadow). In fact, it was one that we had chosen for my sister, but they didn’t have any openings, and it would be a long time before they had any openings. The staff was very helpful. They had an outdoor patio that was really nice for the patients to go and sit outside and enjoy. They had therapy equipment. The rooms seemed large enough, and everything was clean. They did do some activities and a big activity room with puzzles and different things like that. There were some people sitting in there and watching television. "

"I went to visit Rosewood for my mom and, for a tour, I just love it. The facility seemed very nice. It did not smell at all anywhere like a nursing home. Rosewood was a good nursing home more so than where she is now. I was also impressed with the fact that every bed is certified for Medicaid, so that one was on my list. Their rooms also were nice and it was clean. Without knowing what it's like to live there, I would still give it a high rating. "
