Autumn View Gardens Ellisville sits over in a quiet part of West County, just outside Ellisville and Wildwood, Missouri, with a cozy single-story layout, wrap-around porches, and well-kept gardens with lush walking paths, which makes the place look and feel homey right when you pull up, and when you go inside, you'll notice the six spacious apartment styles, including studio, one-bedroom, and three-bedroom companion suites, each with its own heating and air conditioning controls as well as an emergency call system built right in, and you'll see rooms like the game room, library, and spa, plus a country kitchen where folks like to gather. This is a not-for-profit, faith-based senior living community that's been living its mission for over sixty-five years, with both assisted living and memory care in a peaceful setting and staff-many of them with long tenure-around at all hours to help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting out of bed or into a wheelchair if you need it, with nurse supervision for 12-16 hours a day and 24/7 oversight to keep everyone safe. The community has a reputation for offering a strong activity calendar with everything from exercise classes to games, road trips to places like Kimswick, weekly Wal-Mart runs, scenic drives, movie nights, and church services, both onsite and offsite, including two Catholic and one non-denominational service most Sundays, so residents have plenty of ways to stay busy, socialize, or practice their faith, and there's a dedicated activity director making sure things don't go stale. Meals are restaurant-style, with linen tablecloths at lunch and dinner, and vegetarian choices, which helps keep meal prep costs down, and there's always coffee or snacks in the country kitchen and common areas, with a beautician onsite for haircuts and help looking your best. You'll also find outdoor and indoor common areas, shaded patios, and permission for outdoor smoking if you need it, but no smoking inside. Pets are welcome, and the grounds are good for dog-walking.
The community prides itself on supporting aging in place, which means you don't need to move out if you start needing more help-including hospice, respite stays, non-ambulatory care with transfer assistance, and management of health needs like diabetes (insulin shots, sliding scale therapy), incontinence, or memory impairment. Memory care has its own secure building with programs and bracelets that help prevent wandering. Residents also get regular health checks, pharmacy services onsite or close by, and housekeeping and laundry done for them. There's complimentary transportation for local outings, scheduled shuttle service to shopping or doctors, and parking for those who still drive. People can keep up hobbies or try new things through art, crafts, or music, and there's plenty of chance to just sit and talk on the porch or in a shaded spot in the gardens. The all-inclusive monthly rates, clear care categories, and steady help from staff at any hour-in a setting that feels intimate, clean, and welcoming-make Autumn View Gardens Ellisville a good fit for seniors who want reliable care, a bit of privacy, and lots of ways to fill the day, close to restaurants, shopping, health clubs, and local culture.
