Chesterfield Villas Retirement Community sits in Chesterfield, Missouri, as part of the Delmar Gardens family, and the people there have more than fifty years of experience with senior living, so you see a place that welcomes adults aged fifty-five and older with lots of support, choices, and a real neighborhood feeling, and they've got a pretty wide range of options-all under one roof-so folks who want independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, or rehab therapy can all find a spot that fits their needs, and you'll find people helping with everything from daily bathing or medications up to specialized wound care and hospice services. Residents don't need to worry about surprise fees or big buy-in costs because pricing's all-inclusive, so the monthly cost covers living, care, and meals, with no entrance or community fee, and meals are prepared by an executive chef and served in dining rooms full of light with those tall windows you notice as soon as you walk in, and breakfast and lunch come with the enhanced care package and everyone gets dinner, and you can always buy extra meal packages if you want more. There's a long list of services you don't always see elsewhere, from onsite home care and private duty nursing to pharmacy help, diabetes and incontinence care, full tubs, wheelchair-accessible showers, and an emergency response intercom in case someone needs help fast, plus a nurse and 24-hour staff wide awake and ready if you need them.
The apartments-one-bedrooms, studios, alcoves, and two-bedroom deluxe units-are good-sized, with kitchens that have the full appliances, big windows with patio doors for lots of natural light, and even walk-in closets and storage lockers in some, and there's reserved parking or valet parking plus scheduled transportation into town or for outings, and snow removal from cars for the winter days when no one wants to scrape windshields. Residents have use of free laundry, a full-service bank right on site, Wi-Fi and cable, a hair salon and beautician, and a library that doubles as a computer lab if anyone wants to check their email or write a letter. There's a whole lot going on every day-recreational, educational, cultural, and spiritual programs, happy hours in the cocktail lounge, billiards in the game room, and even an indoor pool and hot tub, which can be a big plus for some, and if you walk outside you'll find a putting green and landscaped grounds for some fresh air.
Chesterfield Villas provides meals three times a day; people who need help with activities like bathing, grooming, and medication get that care from staff, and for folks who need more than typical assisted living, services go right up to nursing home level, including memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. There's help available for those who need standby assistance transferring from bed to wheelchair, and visiting doctors, therapists, podiatrists, and nurses come by, along with therapy staff for rehab and speech therapy, even wound management. They let folks smoke but only outside, and pets can live close by. The place tries to make things as easy as possible: valet parking, package and grocery delivery, regular maid and linen service, and help with things like hanging pictures or moving a chair if that's too tough, and residents can use activity rooms, indoor or outdoor common areas, and join onsite devotional services when they want spiritual support.
The focus stays on healthy aging in place, so people can stay as their care needs change, and short-term respite and transitional stays are welcome, too. The staff's known for kindness and quick help, and there are lots of opportunities for companionship, fitness, and new experiences, helped along by daily activities and weekly outings by the staff. Chesterfield Villas supports a variety of care needs, from folks who are mostly independent but want meals and less housework, up to those needing more attention due to illness or memory loss, and the campus has the services and people for all those stages, which means most people can stay there longer without having to move again.
