St. Agnes in Kirkwood, Missouri is an assisted-living community prepared to handle a wide range of medical needs. The team supports residents who wander during the day or night and employs elopement prevention measures. Caregivers are trained for round-the-clock monitoring of residents who stay up all night. Wound care, oxygen management, and special diets are available on site. Diabetic care covers residents on oral medications, those who require insulin injections, and those who use a sliding-scale regimen. The staff is also equipped to work with individuals who have moderate dementia.
Registered and licensed nurses are on site 24 hours a day, and every employee passes a background check. An awake night shift, door alarms, pull-cord alerts, and continuous security coverage help maintain resident safety. Certified aides offer some physical assistance with bathing and eating, while dressing and toileting can be performed with full assistance. Mobility needs are addressed through standby supervision, walker or wheelchair support, and one- or two-person transfers as required. An activity director plans structured daily programs to keep residents engaged.
Apartments are available in several layouts, some with private bathrooms, some with kitchenettes, and some with independent temperature controls. Because floor plans vary, not every unit includes every feature, so prospective residents should ask which options are currently open.
Dining runs on an on-order system that lets residents choose meals at each service rather than eating from a set menu. Special diet accommodations—whether for diabetes management, low-sodium requirements, or other physician-ordered plans—are prepared by the culinary staff and overseen by the nursing team to ensure compliance.
Residents have on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a wellness center, internet access, and landscaped communal gardens. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments, shopping trips, and local outings.
