St. Catherine Retirement Community in Florissant, MO offers independent living as its primary level of care. Residents manage their day-to-day routines with the confidence that comes from a secure environment designed for active seniors who do not require daily assistance with personal care. The community maintains 24-hour staffing and an emergency response system in each apartment so help is available quickly if an unexpected need arises.

To support cognitive health, St. Catherine provides on-site Brain Fitness powered by Dakim, a computerized program aimed at memory retention and mental sharpness. Wellness checks, scheduled blood-pressure screenings, and coordination with outside physicians and therapy providers are available to residents who choose to engage these optional services. Transportation to local medical appointments is arranged by the community, and routine health seminars on topics such as fall prevention and medication management are offered on site.

Accommodation options range from studio to larger apartment layouts. Depending on the specific unit selected, features can include ground-floor access, private bath tubs, in-unit air conditioning, full kitchens, and Wi-Fi. Some apartments accommodate cats, and weight limits apply to certain floor plans. Shared building features add convenience and social space, such as indoor and outdoor common areas, a central fireplace, meeting rooms, a TV lounge, a billiards lounge, an outdoor patio, and both resident and uncovered guest parking. Not every apartment has every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify the details of the unit they are considering.

Dining follows a restaurant-style schedule with seated table service for all daily meals. Residents may invite guests and purchase guest meals, reserve the private dining room for family events, or join neighbors for planned barbecues and campus picnics. Menus are reviewed regularly to balance nutrition with choice, and special diets can be accommodated with advance notice.

The activity calendar is consistently full and includes on-site and off-site options such as arts and crafts sessions, art classes, cooking classes, gardening club, stretching classes, yoga or chair yoga, and live well fitness programs. Residents can attend Bible study, book club, cards and pinochle gatherings, trivia games, Wii bowling, wine tastings, happy hours, holiday parties, birthday celebrations, and community service projects. A walking club meets regularly, and the fitness center hosts structured exercise groups. Day trips, outings, and live music events—sometimes featuring the community’s own resident musicians—round out the schedule, providing multiple ways to stay engaged each week.
