Brookdale Creve Coeur offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, so residents can choose the level of support that fits their needs while remaining in one community. Clinical capabilities include wound care, management of diabetes for residents on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens, and oversight for those living with moderate dementia. Residents can also receive regular vital-sign monitoring and help with medication administration as ordered by their physicians, giving families a clear picture of how health needs are being met on site.
A licensed nurse is on duty around the clock, supported by additional RNs or LPNs, state-required background-checked care associates, and an activities director. The building maintains 24-hour staffing and security, supplemented by pull-cord and Personal Emergency Response System devices that alert staff immediately. On-site medical providers rotate through the community for podiatry, audiology, dental care, and behavioral-health consults, and there is a therapy room for rehabilitation plans. For daily living tasks, caregivers can assist with bathing, eating, and dressing when some physical help is needed while residents who handle toileting independently can continue their own routine. Mobility support ranges from simple standby assistance to one-person transfers for those using walkers or wheelchairs.
Apartments are available in multiple floor plans and may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry; not all apartments contain every feature, so prospective residents should verify which options are in the specific unit they choose. Independent Living residents receive medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan while still enjoying the freedom to structure daily schedules as they wish.
Meals are prepared three times a day, and residents may select from a set menu or order alternate entrées. Snacks are stocked and accessible between meals, and tray service is available for in-room dining when a resident prefers to stay in. A private dining room can be reserved for family events, and the culinary team can carry out physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications such as low-sodium, carbohydrate-controlled, or mechanical-soft diets.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, a wellness center, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, library, pool, and several special-interest clubs. Residents have access to high-speed internet, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a concierge desk, and transportation options that cover scheduled local outings as well as medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
