Sunrise of Des Peres delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing the team to manage changing health needs without a disruptive move. The community is equipped to care for residents who wander at any time, present elopement risk, exhibit behavioral issues, or remain awake through the night. Clinical oversight includes wound care, oxygen use, special diet management, and comprehensive diabetic support whether the resident uses oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The staff is also trained to work with advanced dementia conditions, helping families feel confident that complex medical needs can be handled on site.
Around-the-clock clinical coverage includes an RN or LPN on duty and a nurse in the building 24 hours a day. All team members undergo background checks, and awake staff monitor the community overnight. Doors are alarmed, a Wander Guard system is available, and each apartment is equipped with pull-cord and personal emergency response systems that route directly to 911. A full-time activity director coordinates cognitive and social programming. On-site medical services extend to visiting podiatry, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Care aides can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in transfers ranging from standby supervision to two-person and Hoyer lift support.
Most accommodations feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry; however, not every unit includes every feature, so families should confirm availability. Residents may personalize their suites with paint, décor, and furniture to make the space familiar and comfortable.
Dining services offer a set menu each day with an option to order off-menu items at mealtimes. Snacks are available throughout the day, and meals can be served in residents’ rooms or in a private dining area for family gatherings. The culinary team supports diet modifications such as gluten-free, mechanical-chop, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered plans.
Amenities include resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, and pet-friendly policies; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Common areas are wheelchair accessible and include a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet stations, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a concierge desk, a library, and several special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation covers medical appointments and local errands by shuttle.
