Sheridan At Creve Coeur offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving families options whether a resident needs help with everyday activities or specialized support for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. The community is equipped to manage residents who wander at any time of day, who may attempt elopement, or who display combative or other behavioral challenges. Staff members are trained to care for individuals who stay awake at night, require wound care, use oxygen, or have diabetes managed by oral medication or insulin injections. Advanced dementia needs are also within the scope of care, and residents younger than 60 are accepted when appropriate.
A nurse is on call 24 hours, with an awake night-shift team, an activity director, and security measures that include fenced outdoor space, door alarms, and emergency pull cords that dial 911. On-site podiatry visits are available, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, and dressing, while encouraging self-care for toileting when possible. Mobility needs are met through standby assistance, one-person transfers, and support for walkers or wheelchairs.
Apartments include features such as private bathrooms, individual temperature controls, and the option to paint or decorate, although not every unit has every feature. Families can choose the layout that best fits the resident’s needs, and maintenance staff handle repairs so residents can focus on daily life.
Dining follows an on-order approach, allowing residents to choose meals when they are ready to eat, and the kitchen team can modify menus for therapeutic diets or physician-ordered restrictions. Staff supervision is available to assist residents who need help cutting food or monitoring intake to keep nutrition plans on track.
Residents have access to parking, and the building is wheelchair-accessible throughout. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and scheduled transportation are part of the service package. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
