Hope Hospice in Saint Louis offers assisted-living care designed for older adults who need help with everyday routines while still wanting to retain as much independence as possible. Trained caregivers are on site around the clock to assist with bathing, dressing, mobility, continence support, and prompt medication administration. A registered nurse oversees each resident’s care plan, coordinating with physicians and therapists to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and COPD. The community maintains electronic health records for accurate tracking, provides regular vital-sign monitoring, and arranges on-site lab draws when ordered by a physician.

Beyond fundamental daily assistance, residents have access to scheduled health assessments, fall-prevention evaluations, and physical, occupational, and speech therapy delivered in a dedicated treatment area. An emergency call system links each apartment directly to staff for rapid response, and a licensed nurse is available to triage concerns 24/7. Transportation for off-site medical appointments is provided, and social workers help families navigate insurance questions and coordinate any needed hospice or palliative services that may arise as conditions change.

Accommodations include a mix of private studios, one-bedroom suites, and companion apartments. Units may feature individual climate control, accessible bathrooms with step-in showers, wall-mounted emergency pulls, basic cable, Wi-Fi, and in-unit storage. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are included, and laundry pickup is available for an added fee. Not all accommodations have all the features, so families should confirm specifics such as in-unit kitchenettes or patio access during a tour.

Residents receive three daily meals prepared in an on-site commercial kitchen and served in a central dining room with table service. Menus are created by a registered dietitian and accommodate low-sodium, diabetic, and mechanically altered diets when prescribed. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and tray delivery to apartments is offered for those recovering from illness. A hydration cart circulates between meals, and special events such as holiday menus or themed dinners are scheduled regularly. Not all accommodations have space for in-room dining furniture, so residents who plan to eat privately should verify the dimensions of their specific apartment.
