The Sarah Community in Bridgeton, Missouri offers multiple levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, Residential Care, and Memory Care—so residents can move between services without relocating. Care teams are trained to support advanced dementia conditions and manage a wide range of medical needs, including behavioral issues, wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management whether residents use oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Nighttime behaviors or “up all night” patterns are accommodated, and care plans are adjusted as conditions change.
A registered nurse is on-site around the clock, backed by background-checked staff who work awake overnight shifts. The community is equipped with 24-hour security, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff immediately. A dedicated activity director oversees daily programming, and visiting podiatrists provide on-site foot care. For personal care, full assistance is available with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby help for walker users to wheelchair transfers and Hoyer-lift transfers when needed.
Apartments vary in size and layout; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and individual temperature controls, while others may offer only a subset of these features. Maintenance, utilities, and basic cable are included, and housekeeping keeps common spaces and residences orderly.
Dining services aim to balance nutrition with choice. A professional chef prepares three restaurant-style meals daily, with all-day dining, guest meals, and periodic international fare. Special menus accommodate low-sodium and no-sugar diets. Independent Living residents may opt for a monthly meal plan and receive medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry services.
Residents have access to on-site parking, communal gardens, internet service, an exercise room, and a wellness center. Religious services are held within the community, and the entire campus is wheelchair accessible. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
