Our experience

Everyone is so friendly. The experience for our Dad has been wonderful. It took a little while for his motorized chair to be delivered and everyone was so helpful with getting his package to him. On one occasion he had a Dr. Appointment and the chair had still not been delivered, the staff was so gracious and got him to the door of the Dr's office. We can say enough good things about this place he calls home.

Benedictine Living at The Shrine

About the facility

Nestled in 200 acres of a certified National Wildlife Refuge, Benedictine Living-At The Shrine, is a faith-based, continuing care community dedicated to the pursuit of active retirement living and wellness in body, mind and spirit. The campus offers independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing care all under one roof with shared common spaces that allow our residents to transition through levels of care as needed without ever having to move campuses. We are located just outside of St. Louis in Belleville, IL, on the grounds of The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows.

Benedictine also provides a range of care services to residents including rehabilitation, on site physical therapy and home health services as well as hospice care and palliative care.

Benedictine Living-At The Shrine has been a valued member of the Belleville area and community since 1966. Every individual’s values, beliefs and religious needs are respected. While Benedictine is the only retirement living community located on the grounds of a national Catholic Shrine, all faiths are welcome and encouraged to find their home here. Catholic mass is offered daily and a Protestant service weekly. The Director of Pastoral Care can arrange other religious meetings as...

I was impressed with the community nestled in the countryside property of the Shrine of Our Lady of the Snow. As a longtime resident in this area I was surprised to discover the assisted living community hidden on the grounds. It is quite beautiful, in the natural surroundings, The tour was very informative and the staff friendly in every area. Most impressive for me is the longevity of the staff's employment which tells me that they are happy and enjoy their job of caring for our aging community.

Family First, Loved Ones Always

They cater to your needs; they provide a liaison resident that acts as an ambassador to you to ensure any questions or needs your loved one has (or doesn't have) are simplified and efficient.

Our families experience

There was a welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walked in the door. The housing director [name removed] was such a help as we filled out all the paperwork for Carol to transfer to the Benedictine Living Community. The marketing director who met us and gave us a tour was very helpful also. The people are friendly, there are lots of activities. The building is kept in good repair. I loved the fact that physical and occupational therapy is right there on site, so there's no reason for the residence to go out for those things. I highly recommend this living community.

Review for Benedictine Living at The Shrine

The staff is warm and friendly and always helpful. The wooded grounds are a joy. The building is not new, but always clean and everything works. I do my own cooking, but the menu always has something that sounds good. I will start checking out the dining room soon. There are activities and trips. I couldn't be more pleased.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Illinois regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois regulations for Assisted Living.
