30 Continuing Care Communities in Saint Louis County, Missouri

Hanna Rose

Our family had one problem after another with staff being dishonest and medical care seemed almost absent. The patient techs and housekeeping staff were helpful and nice but nursing staff was not. Several days the nurse Never came in the room to check up on our family member. They don\'t have enough staff so patients will wait a long time when they press the call light. Care is definitely sub-par.

My father spent the last year of his life there. Started in the rehab unit and move to assisted living. We had experiences with 3 care facilities with my mother and 1 with my father-in-law. We had seen the bad and ugly, so we knew the good when we saw it. We are local, so we visited often. We were pleased with the facility, staff, and the care that my father received. They listened, they responded, to all inquires and requests. Forever greatful.

Brookdale Creve Coeur was beautiful. The rooms and the closets were huge, which is what I like, and the price was reasonable, too. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful kitchen, the living room was huge, and they had cut-out places where you can put things like a computer or a sewing machine. They have a store, a swimming pool, a family room, a chapel, and a library, and they do all kinds of crafts, too. As for the staff, you couldn't ask for a more pleasant person to talk to. She and my husband were making each another laugh. It was an older building, but that didn't bother me.

I have chosen Autumn View Gardens for my mother. It is more like home. The people are very caring, and it's more like family living. My mother is in assisted living there. The staff members are wonderful. The rooms are very large. My mother got a deluxe studio, and it is adequate. The patio was the selling point. The staff is very warm. I tried the food when I toured it a year ago, and my mother says the food is fantastic. It's very expensive though. Normally, they have activities but during this Covid, it's shut down. They just got their immunization shots yesterday. The marketing assistant, Drea, is just so caring, so nice, and so comfortable to talk to. I just think that is a big selling point, too. They have a library. It's a very nice and very welcoming place.

My father-in-law was in Brookdale Creve Coeur. He was there for almost a year. They have some assisted living but it's on the light side. As far as activities, there's a pool there but it was closed. There's an exercise facility but it was of limited use. They have a hair salon, and there are plenty of facilities. Brookdale Creve Coeur was a large place with a nice little walkway. However, they were restricted in what they could do. They typically had planned outings that they stopped because they didn't want the residents to be out. My father-in-law had a nice room. It was a studio-plus, but it was large. The staff was very nice and very accommodating. We weren't allowed in; the Covid protocol was good. It was a little on the pricey side.
