Our family's experience, friendly staff

The food is good. The room is clean. The staff is friendly. He seems to be able to get rides to the doctor on Walmart. I would recommend them to others - but there may be a data center going in next door.

I was very pleased with the size of the rooms, and with the cleanliness. The dining room was very nice and the hours of operation were outstanding. Many amenities, such as outdoor pergola for getting some fresh air, a movie room, library, and even a salon for haircuts.I feel my father will be very happy there.

My visit was absolutely fabulous! You guys have this down to a perfect science of what I would love to live in for senior living. For me at this time, I don’t think I’m quite ready for that type of living. One of my passions is cooking and I love to cook for others. I know I could get an apartment with the kitchen. I just think for me at this time I should cook for myself and not have all of the meals provided. However, with that said there will come a time that I will want that and you guys are absolutely the best I’ve ever seen. Friendly people the resident all seemed happy and were friendly to me. Just looks like a great place to live. The other thing for me is I need a garage. I have a historical car that I like to show often and I need it to be where I’m at and accessible to me at all times. Those are the only two drawbacks for me at this time in my life. I will definitely keep you at the very top of my list for the future. Thank you very much for taking time your staff is awesome

Our family's experience

Staff/care, activities, food, cleanliness, and room size are all great. I don't think there's anything more from these areas that I could ask for more. The only thing I would change if I could is not knowing from the very beginning that there would likely be additional charges for her care. I was caught completely off guard. I did see where there could be additional charges, but nothing was brought to my attention until after plans were made to have her move in.

The staff at Wildwood was extremely helpful when we visited Wildwood Communities. [name removed], the Senior Living Director was super helpful and friendly and very attentive to my mom during the visit. She even suggested coming back for a “Happy Hour” or Bingo to get to know the residents since she knows how much a change it would be.

The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout my stay, always willing to assist with questions or requests and making the experience more pleasant overall. The room sizes were acceptable and provided enough space to feel comfortable, with everything laid out in a practical and functional way. Overall, the accommodations met expectations and contributed to a smooth and enjoyable stay.

What we like the most about the community is the director of nursing and knowing what is going on at Wildwood. The staff of aids, RN"s. The food is outstanding. Yes, we would recommend Wildwood Senior Living to other families.

Mom hasn't been in any activities so far. She is still adjusting to new surroundings. Her apartment is nice size with a balcony. She is not sure about the food just something she has to get used to.

Wildwood Senior Living experience

My Dad didn't want to go but after 3 weeks he was going to breakfast with friends. The staff was amazing. In three weeks my Dad actually gained weight. They have a chef and the food was exceptional in which we joined Dad several times for dinner. They had many activities in which the residents enjoyed. He was truly happy and safe which meant the world to me.

Mom loves Wildwood

Mom loves living at Wildwood. The staff are always friendly and compassionate. Mom is always telling me how busy she is. She told her granddaughter that she was too busy to come over for dinner (this was an open, any day of the week invitation). Meals at Wildwood are excellent. In addition to the main menu, they have unique meal option throughout the month. My brothers and I do not regret moving mom into Wildwood. Rose Coffey

Exceptional Home for Mom

Mom and I feel in love with Wildwood Senior Living as we drove up to the door. It's beautiful and all the staff were friendly. Once mom moved in, the service continued. Meals were always good. Cleaning service was appreciated. The activities are just what Mom needed. I have been up to visit her several times over the last 4 weeks, and she is very comfortable and happy.

Pros and cons

Expensive and we felt for the cost, overall care could have been better, we were under the impression that they were short on staff and having difficulty hiring quality staff, but there was no reflection of that in the cost of care. The quality of facilities, food service, activity availability We're all good. We felt like actual medical care response was somewhat lacking, doctor access, and communication could have been better. Maybe due to staffing shortages.

Keeping Staff

Our experience thus far would indicate they've had some issues with staffing, leaving them short handed at times but overall care has been good. My folks are 95 and 94 years of age so activities are not necessarily of great interest. I know long term care is not inexpensive and certainly not quality care but it is expensive and of concern for my parents. I think likely normal movement by staff looking to better their pay, hours, etc.

Wildwood Senior Living

All of the staff is super friendly and helpful. I love being able to message or call the nurse line if I need to. The food is excellent and the kitchen staff is also great. The outings are really nice to get mom out and about. They are always having celebrations or activities which is also great. Mom is often out of supplies such as toilet paper. The billing runs off of a point system based on care points which is not explanatory when you pay monthly, and it fluctuates. I wish they would send an itemized care point list with the bill.

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:

  • Know Missouri’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about Missouri’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
