Cottages of Lake St. Louis provides Assisted Living and Memory Care supported by a clinical program that addresses a broad range of medical needs. The team is trained to manage daytime and nighttime wandering, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral issues, and residents who are awake throughout the night. Nurses monitor wound care, administer oxygen, and coordinate diabetic care for residents on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Special diets are prepared in collaboration with medical staff, and the community is equipped to serve adults under 60 as well as those living with advanced dementia. On-site podiatry rounds add another layer of routine medical oversight.
Caregiving staff supply hands-on help where it is most needed. Bathing, eating, and dressing can be provided with full assistance, while toileting remains self-care for those able to manage it safely. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision for walkers to one-person or two-person transfers and care for residents who are bed-bound. Wheelchairs are accommodated throughout the building, and care plans are updated as residents’ conditions change.
Apartments offer straightforward comfort with furnishings in place and private bathrooms available in many units, though not every accommodation includes every feature. Residents may personalize their spaces within safety guidelines, and housekeeping keeps rooms orderly.
Meals are prepared to order, allowing residents to choose what and when they eat while still meeting medical and cultural diet requirements. The kitchen works with nursing staff to adjust textures, control carbohydrates, and limit sodium as prescribed. Independent Living tenants have access to a separate laundry service handled by staff, reducing day-to-day chores without sacrificing autonomy.
The property is fully wheelchair accessible and includes an on-site barber and beauty salon, reliable internet access, and communal gardens that provide outdoor space for visits or quiet time.
