Top Marks for an Outstanding Operation

It is excellent. My mom loves it, the food is really good. I was just there with her for weekend brunch which is delicious and a bargain. The staff are really nice and caring. She has a roommate to save on costs, but it is a giant two-bedroom apartment. the kitchen is all brand new appliances and they really take care of everything there. It is definitely the best place that is month-to-month with no upfront `buy in`.

Review for Garden Villas South

Meets Mom's care needs, Friendly, Staff longevity, Daily Events, Price, Helpfulness. We are very pleased. Garden Villas South stood out as the perfect choice after visiting four assisted-living communities. They provided exceptional care in a clean and cheerful environment at a reasonable price. What truly impressed us was their friendly and experienced staff. Their genuine enjoyment of providing service to the elderly made our decision easy.

Overall a great community

He is in a 1 bedroom alcove apartment which is the perfect size for his needs. The staff is amazing, always very helpful. They know all of their residents by name. They have happy hour every day, he plays poker, is on a Wii bowling league. They have a library and catholic mass every Sunday morning. He only has his dinners and says the food is just ok but he doesn't mind it. They clean his room once a week, change his bedsheets and launder his sheets and towels. They have a laundry room where he does his personal laundry. They also provide transportation to grocery and doctors. He lived alone and was pretty isolated for 5 years. He is a new person, happier than I have seen him in a long time!!

What they could improve on would be the internet connection, however what I like the most about Garden Villas is the friendliness, helpfulness of the staff, ice cream(!), good food, entertainment

Feels like home

We really love it here and are grateful to have found our new home. From the moment we walked in we felt very much at home. Warmth from staff and everyone was welcoming. One other thing I thought of was that having a kitchen, even though we are on a meal plan makes this feel more like a home than living in a hotel which I felt at the other facilities we looked at.

A Great place to live.

This is a great place to live! I was not sure if I would like living in a community like this, but I decided to give it a try. The people are very friendly here. The residents and staff are as nice as family. You can do lots of activities or relax in your apartment, because it's your choice. I stay up late as I like sleeping in but miss some of the morning activities. That's ok because it's my choice. The food here is very good and something different each night. You can chose off the menue or if you just want a salad or sandwich that's fine ,your choice. I like the very nice apartment I have and someone comes to clean it each week! Everything is included in the rent! I just pay one bill each month. Come for atour and bring the family and see for yourself because it's your choice not someone else's !?

We are very happy with this community. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They know what they are doing and I’ve had a private nurse with my mom until recently and she said this was the nicest facility she ever worked at. In fact one my mom’s other nurse was so impressed she moved her mom there.

Feels like coming home to family

This is truly a welcoming place. Everyone from the front office, servers, maintenance and the residents have all been welcoming, helpful and made us feel at home. The activities are well posted, fun and well attended. You can be as involved or uninvolved as you like. The facilities are well maintained, new carpeting was installed, and fresh paint throughout. There is so much good food that I was afraid I would gain weight! As it is, the activities and access to walking/excerise has not allowed that to happen. This was the best decision for my husband and me.

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 Missouri 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 Missouri regulations for Assisted Living.
