Lutheran Senior Services at Meramec Bluffs offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care on one campus, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without changing communities. The care team is prepared to manage residents who wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, present behavioral challenges, stay up throughout the night, or require wound care and oxygen therapy. Specialized programming and oversight are available for residents with advanced dementia, ensuring consistent routines and safety measures tailored to cognitive decline.

Registered and licensed nurses are on-site around the clock, with an additional nurse on call at all times. All staff undergo background checks, and an awake night shift monitors door-alarm systems, pull cords, and personal emergency response devices that alert caregivers immediately. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. The team can provide some assistance with bathing and dressing, full assistance with eating and toileting, and can support transfers that involve walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, or a one-person lift.

Apartments may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate, although not every unit has every feature. Residents can select layouts that match their budget and care level, and maintenance is handled by community staff.

Meals are cooked to order, and snacks are available throughout the day. Dietary modifications are accommodated, and monthly meal plans can be arranged for Independent Living residents. Those in Independent Living may also choose medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry services for an added fee.

Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
