Aberdeen Heights in Kirkwood, MO offers three levels of residency—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can enter at the support level they need and remain on campus as needs change. The community manages a range of medical conditions, including diabetics on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale protocols, and is equipped to care for individuals living with advanced dementia. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site 24 hours a day and a nurse is also on call at all times. Routine podiatry is provided on site, reducing the need for outside appointments.
Around-the-clock staffing is combined with safety measures such as background checks, door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, wander-management technology, pull-cord systems that alert staff or call 911, and dedicated security personnel. Night staff remain awake, and an activity director coordinates daily programs. Personal-care assistance can include full help with bathing, eating, and dressing, while residents who can manage toileting on their own may do so. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers, and the team can accommodate walkers and wheelchairs.
Apartments vary, but features may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service; prospective residents should confirm which features come with the specific unit they are considering. Independent Living residents receive weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, while Assisted Living and Memory Care residents have a more comprehensive daily dining program.
The culinary team provides three scheduled meals a day, snacks between meals, and physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium or diabetic menus. Meals are served in a communal dining room, and staff are available for full assistance with eating when needed.
Amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a stair glide, and scheduled transportation for shopping or medical visits. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
