Garden View Care Center of Chesterfield - Skilled Nursing & Memory Care sits on eleven quiet acres in Chesterfield, offering skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living plus, respite care, rehabilitation, and hospice care, where residents can get help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and daily activities, and a team of trained nurses, therapists, and medical staff provide care all day and night with services like wound care, tube feeding, IV therapy, injections, colostomy care, and respiratory care, plus medical support such as X-rays, lab work, and use of durable equipment. Residents get housekeeping, laundry, personal laundry, and meal preparation, including chef-prepared, farm-to-table menus that aim to support dietary restrictions, with a registered dietitian for nutrition needs. People can bring their own furniture or enjoy the high-end furnished rooms, with telephones in rooms and emergency alert systems for added safety, and the move-in process comes with help to make the transition easier.
There are daily activities planned, some run by the community, some by residents themselves, with spaces like the movie theater, the main lounge, the celebrity corner, Stan Musial Room with arcade games by the ice cream parlor, library, arts room, and outdoor courtyards, plus a garden and walking paths for enjoying nature and wildlife. Music fills the spacious lobby sometimes thanks to resident or guest musicians, and original artwork selected by owner Richard Winter is showcased throughout the common areas, while community-sponsored activities and outside events in the gardens offer more ways to stay social. The community is organized into neighborhoods based on care levels and needs, all on the ground floor, which makes emergency access easier and gives people views of both nature and wildlife. The memory care unit has dedicated staff available ten hours each day, all week, with individualized plans and specialized memory and dementia support, and there's an emphasis on a flexible routine, so each resident's days fit their own preferences, with no strict schedules to follow.
Professional services include regular visits from eye doctors, dentists, and podiatrists, medication management, and assistance with personal care needs, while residents have access to physical, occupational, speech, and restorative therapy, even if they're not approved for a rehab stay, and support for recovery after surgery, illness, or injury is available. Assisted Living Plus® aims to offer privacy with extra medical support, helping people age in place, and there's 24-hour physician coverage along with skilled nursing care backed by a call system for emergencies. Staff get orientation and ongoing education, celebrating long-tenured employees with a Wall of Fame for those with careers lasting 10, 20, or 30 years, which points to strong staff relationships. Beauty salon, spa services, massage and recreational therapy, chef-prepared meals, and amenities like moving coordination help make the experience more comfortable.
Residents and their families can use Medicare, Medicaid, and long-term care insurance to help pay for care, and the facility is owned and operated as a for-profit corporation. All services are overseen by administrator Firuca Rusu, with a focus on regular medical evaluations, resident safety, and making sure each person gets the care and support they need as their needs change.
