What this means for your family
McKnight Place is highly regarded for its exceptional dining and engaging activity programs, making it a vibrant choice for many seniors. However, families should be proactive about labeling personal items to prevent loss and should ask management about their current strategy for maintaining consistent oversight of nursing assistants.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is as wonderful as the esthetics. Each department has a 'head of staff', making cross-departmental concerns easy to address. Every need is attended to, every concern addressed.”
“At first, I wasn't sure about the food but they got a new chef about a year and a half ago and now things are REALLY GOOD.”
“For St. Louis, better than most but quality has gone down. They don’t follow up quickly on malfunctioning facilities. Residents who have family bring in nicer things for residents have those things “disappear””
