Chestnut Glen Senior Living in St. Peters offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, creating options for residents who need everyday support or specialized help with cognitive decline. The staff is experienced in managing complex behaviors, including residents who wander during the day or night and those who are awake throughout the night. Advanced dementia conditions can be accommodated, with tailored care plans that adjust as abilities change.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on-site, backed by a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Team members undergo background checks and an awake night shift monitors residents continuously. Safety measures include door alarms, WanderGuard systems, a personal emergency response system that alerts staff, and full-time security personnel. On-site podiatry services and acceptance of psychiatric conditions expand medical coverage. Direct assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and staff can support transfers involving walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, or a one-person lift.
Residences can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service, although not every apartment features each of these elements. Layouts are designed to make daily routines easier and give residents a sense of personal space.
Dining services provide three daily meals, snacks throughout the day, and the ability to manage special diets or texture modifications. Staff work with residents and their physicians to align meal plans with medical needs and personal preferences.
Amenities round out the community with resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a wellness center, high-speed internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for errands and appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
