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!!

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 !?

Garden villas south assisted living
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.

Great independent living community. Friendly staff, many fun activities, good food.
Very please with everything. Mom feels staff are friendly and genuinely care. She is in independent living and loves the food in dining room, has made friends. For a fair price they do her laundry which she loves. Housekeeping such as cleaning her apartment is included. They have free shuttle bus for shopping and doctor appointments. Lots of entertaining musicians, church service, other activities. Mom is glad she chose them. And as the saying goes, if mama's happy, everyone is happy

Garden Villas South Exceeds All Expectations
I have already recommend Garden Villas South to friends for options for their loved ones. The community has an attitude about what can we do for you. They have yet to say no to one of the requests by the family or our loved ones. The staff are wonderful to work with any questions the family or my loved ones have. Things are taken care of quickly and they are attentive to my loved one's needs. There is transportation; however, there are parking for those resident who still drive. Maintenance is amazing! They met with us the very first day, and they had pictures and tv hung by the end of the first day. They were right there supporting the family. My loved ones loved the food, and this was a big concern for us initially. My loved ones have settled into eating in the dining room. My loved one has given up cooking, except on a rare occasion and this is impressive to the family. There is a kitchen in the apartment if wanted.

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.

A Place for Mom has scored Garden Villas South 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
