Aberdeen Heights sits in Kirkwood, Missouri, and provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term rehabilitation all in one place, so when someone's needs change, they don't have to move far, which can bring some comfort to families who worry about these things, and the facility goes by the name of a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) or Life Plan Community, which means residents can move through levels of care as they need. The facility is faith-based, inspired by Christian values, and is part of the PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America) network, running as a not-for-profit, which influences the way staff approach care, and there's a focus on supporting all parts of wellness, whether physical, intellectual, emotional, or spiritual.
They have staff in designated roles, like Bea Quinn as Director of Sales & Marketing, Donna Meyer as Marketing Relocation Coordinator, and Patti Christen as Director of Giving. There are 317 apartments and suites, including 234 independent living apartments, and the available floor plans range from one-bedroom to two-bedroom, starting at about 756 square feet and going up to 1,838 square feet, which gives folks some options depending on what they need. Residents can keep small pets if approved, so cats, small dogs, fish, and birds are allowed, though there is a $500 non-refundable pet fee, and this might matter to some.
Housekeeping and laundry services are included, and the kitchen staff offers all-day dining, which helps folks with different schedules or dietary needs, covering special diets for allergies or diabetes. Residents get help with medication management, bathing, dressing, and transfers if they need it, and there's a 24-hour call system, so help is always nearby. Social and recreational activities fill the schedule, like daily events, movie nights, trips, and programs in arts rooms and gardens, so there's usually something to do if someone wants to get out or meet people, and transportation services are available for getting around.
The campus has walking paths, a community garden, and places for social gatherings or quiet time, along with a barber and salon on site. Residents needing memory care get help from dementia-friendly resources, with staff trained for Alzheimer's and dementia support. There's also the Post-Acute to Home (PATH®) Rehabilitation Therapy Program for folks who need short-term rehab after an illness or surgery. Aberdeen Heights coordinates with outside healthcare providers when needed, and priority access to a full spectrum of care is included under their Health Care Benefit program, which keeps costs more predictable.
The community charges an entrance fee and monthly accommodation costs, and for couples, there's a second-person fee. Home maintenance is handled for residents, so they don't need to worry about repairs. Aberdeen Heights is licensed by the State and has a long-standing reputation for safety and consistent care. Everything's focused on offering choices, providing support, and maintaining a straightforward, respectful environment where people can live the way they want, as independently as possible, with help always close by if they ever start needing more.
