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.

Family member · 2025★★★★★

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.

Family member · 2016★★★★★

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”
