Nursing Home Communities in Saint Louis, MO

"My sister lives in Laclede Groves, a very nice senior living. It's one of the better ones to be in and is run by a Lutheran group. She's in independent living and has a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment with wonderful neighbors. There's a lot of food that she can get prepared for her, all the time, too. It's just a good place to be. I go there about every week and we have lunch together. There are 3 different restaurants and they all have good food. There are also other restaurants you could go to around the area. The staff is very nice. They've always been very pleasant to me. They have an indoor pool but I don't know if she gets in. She plays Wii golf and does this type of exercise using big balls."

"My father was in rehab at Bethesda Dilworth. I would have given it a 5, but my dad likes the food better where he currently is. He really liked the place and the staff was friendly and caring. We couldn't go in because of Covid. He said the eggs tasted like powder. That's all I know. He walked and did rehab there. It was a pretty facility and it had a courtyard. I only saw the lobby and it was clean. It's a good location for my father because that's the place that would take his insurance. It was in a residential neighborhood. I would recommend them because of their friendly staff."

"This is a response to the lady whose mother is in a wheel-chair. Perhaps you should keep your mother at home with you, that way, you could take her back and forth to the toilet yourself since, the care is so horrible. Maybe you can hire a private duty CNA to provide care to your mother, at your home. You should not complain so much, your mother is not the only person that a CNA has to care for. CNA"s have 15 or more people to care for and everyone can't be toileted at the same time so, this is why she is in a depend. That is YOUR mother so, if the care is not up to YOUR expectations, take care of her YOURSELF or hire a PRIVATE DUTY AIDE like the rest of us. "

"I have visited a long time co-worker who is a resident of Oak Park. I found the facility to be dirty. residents unkept in wheelchairs along the walls leading to the rooms. Nursing staff gathering outside the break room just having a good ole time laughing. joking call lights going off. Nobody moved to answer the call. in order to visit you need to call for a appointment, I called one Friday to make a appointment the person I needed to speak with was Monique. I attempted to leave a voicemail but. it was full. on another occasion I tried to make a appointment I never received a call back after leaving my name and number with receptionist. My friend told me he had not had a shower in a month, I asked for a towel to clean his face a least, I was given rude stares. I'm not sure who this can and should be reported to but, I truly don't believe this is because of shortness of nursing staff because the four I saw outside the break room were not at all busy"

"I find they do a great job and there are lots of nurses to take care of my family member. "

"Both my parents received hospice care at this facility. The nursing staff were wonderful and the support techs were also very attentive and caring. We received lots of communication and staff was very welcoming. Having experienced several other facilities in the area, Manor Grove was very different and gained our families trust through their excellent care."

"My dad has moved into U-City Forest Manor for rehab. It's a very positive experience. The staff was very friendly and efficient, and the environment there is comfortable. I haven't tried the food, but I know he likes the food there. I think the rooms are kind of small, but they're very well maintained though. They do have beauticians and barbers, and there is a huge lawn outside. I think that's probably why they call it Forest Manor because there's a park connected next door. I don't know how much it cost, he's on Medicare and private insurance."

"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. "

"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 have seen all three levels in Aberdeen Heights. I had a friend who stayed in the independent living, in the assisted living, and rehab. It was excellent, but very expensive for an average person. You have to be very wealthy to live there. The facility looked amazing. The staff was amazing. It was like living in a grand hotel.They have independent menus with a large selection of food, and it's delicious. They have every kind of activity, like they take them everywhere."

"My mom was actually in Lansdowne Village. She was there for two to three months. I would give this facility A's across the board. The staff was friendly. They actually do make the people get out of bed and participate in activities. It is just a good place and a clean nursing home. "

"The staff seemed to be pretty friendly. At times, they come across and somewhat cold, but I do think part of it was due to the fact that it was so busy there. But for the most part, they were useful in helping guide us. The facility itself was nothing special, and had several floors on which housed certain types of residents. In order to go up in floors, you actually had to walk through the intermediate floors, which made it very interesting, since there were always residents hanging around the hallways. As a result, you really end up saying 'hi' or exchanging a few words with the residents, even before you end up to the room of the resident you were trying to see. The room that my resident was in seemed a little isolated, but that wasn't really anyone's fault. What it did mean was that people didn't come by often, save for the staff, whom my resident seemed to like a lot. We would talk about the activities they would do here, and it does seem like the center tries very hard to socially engage the residents, doing a series of events throughout the week. There were common areas where a few residents spent time, which was nice to see.All in all, I liked the place. The staff is nice (although at times, they seemed to not all be on the same page with regards to the schedule of my resident), and they seem to care about the residents. My resident was personally not happy to be there, but I don't think that had anything to do with the center, but to do more with his general situation (not being independent). But he spoke well of the center. I haven't seen him in quite some time, but I feel confident that if he's not out of the center yet, he's being treated well at Parkside. "

"The moment my husband and I walked in the front door and this was on weekend very clean smelling staff members all very pleasant, the person that does the tours was not there but a lady from recreation said she would take us around, residence were happy, clean, I even walked up to some of them to see if they were sitting in pee or poop smelled nothing. The building is a little outdated but to us the care is more important . We did move mom here and it has been great we been here about three weeks and all the employees already seem like family. The food is fantastic never seen mom eat so much. We have enjoyed the bird houses, deer, wild turkeys. Even the dog that was brought in made mom smile. The rooms are larger than other homes very clean and kept clean. They have crafts bingo art movies games. My mom is very happy here I don’t hear her say I want to go home. Excellent care "

"My sister moved to Pine Grove Manor. It's a small skilled nursing home with 77 beds. I saw some of their records, and I was pretty happy with that. The facility is nice and clean, and it didn't have any strange smells about it. It was bright and cheery, with lots of windows. It just gave me a good, comfortable, warm, and happy feeling when I walked in. A couple of other places that we'd checked out were dark and felt cold. All the employees were friendly and happy. The patients that I met or ran into as we were taking a tour through the hallway seemed to be very happy. A lot of them were sitting out in the lunchroom area watching television, and they had been playing games. I just thought this would be a nice place for my sister. They know all the patients' names. When we were touring it, they knew everybody there. Now, when I walk in, they tell me what my sister has been doing, so they know my face. It was just kind of a different atmosphere. They'll talk to you if you have any questions. If they can't answer the questions, they'll send it to somebody. I've been there for about three dinners when my sister has been there. We walked in one day, and they had a beef pot roast, and it smelled delicious. My sister ate that. I was also there one day, and they had baked chicken, and she ate the whole leg. They are still remodeling, but it's clean. During our tour, we went up to the second story, and they have rooms up there that are going to be really nice. We saw that they're still painting, fixing, and taking care of the upstairs, but they had a few of the rooms rented out that we got to see. They're nice-sized rooms and have double and single-sized ones. They are private rooms and shared rooms. My sister is in a shared room, although she doesn't have anybody in the room with her at this point. They have a big cage with lovebirds that's very clean. No feathers lying around all over the place, or a dirty bottom of the cage. They also have a parakeet that entertains everybody, and it's quite a noisemaker. They bought this place, and it had been run down, so they are trying to get it shaped up again. The other day, they came in and moved some of their offices. They have their PT room up in the front of the building now, and a counseling room for the people looking for it. They also have a visiting room up in the front. They've moved a few things around, but the nurse's desk and business office are still where they were. I was talking to the one lady who takes care of the social activities. I said it would be great to have a place for the patients, and she said that could be in the plans. Right now, they're concentrating on the building, but they have somebody who comes in and does Bible study. They play baseball, and they have a movie in the evening. They have crafts, and my sister has also been putting together puzzles. She also does some physical therapy because before she went to the hospital, she was mobile, but the hospital wasn't getting her up and kept her in a geri chair. Now she's trying to walk and get going again. It looks like they have a well-rounded system with things for people to do. They said before COVID, they used to have a beautician and a minister that came in, but when COVID hit, all of that stopped, and nobody has come back. The other day, I came in, and the craft lady had been in there, and some of the nurses and aides were in there painting all the women's fingernails. There are also a few residents who, I guess, wanted to have a little job. For instance, one of the people out of the kitchen was folding napkins and rolling them up, and this lady, who I know is a patient, was sitting there folding napkins and rolling up the silverware, too. They let them help out if they want to. They don't make them do that, but if they wanna do something, they can do it."
