    Unsafe, dirty, neglectful nursing home

    I placed a loved one here and deeply regret it. The facility was dirty, smelled badly, and I saw rodent droppings, stained walls, and broken fixtures. Staff were frequently rude, distracted by phones, and ignored call lights - chronic understaffing and poor communication led to missed meds, delayed help, falls, bedsores, and a near-death incident. Personal items kept disappearing (wallets, clothes, IDs); we filed police and an ombudsman complaints and got little help from management. A few nurses, CNAs and activities staff were kind and hardworking and therapy was decent, and remodeling is supposedly underway, but that didn't change the unsafe, neglectful care we experienced. I would not recommend this place - do not send your loved one here.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from these reviews is highly mixed but leans strongly negative due to repeated and serious allegations about safety, sanitation, and clinical care. A large proportion of reviewers describe conditions and care practices that they consider unsafe or neglectful: dirty rooms and common areas, foul odors (urine/food), pests (rodent droppings, ants), soiled linens and diapers left in hallways, and overall poor housekeeping. Multiple accounts describe missing or stolen personal items (wallets, IDs, clothing), repeated laundry failures, and clothing returned soiled or not returned at all. These problems create recurring themes of hygiene risks, dignity violations, and family distrust.

    Clinical care and staffing are another major area of concern. Reviews report significant understaffing, particularly on weekends and holidays, with claims that only medication-dispensing personnel or minimal staff are present when professional clinical staff are needed. Families detail delays and failures in medication administration, medication charting errors (including medications deleted from the system), and unsafe feeding or dietary lapses (for example, feeding food to NPO patients or ignoring allergy/diet restrictions). There are multiple allegations of neglect: residents left in soiled bedding, long waits for assistance to the bathroom, call lights ignored, lack of turning leading to bedsores, and poor monitoring after falls. Some reviewers described outcomes as life-threatening, including a reported death and other serious medical incidents that families attributed to neglect.

    Communication, management, and administrative practices are frequently criticized. Several accounts describe poor leadership, inconsistent or non-existent shift communication, dismissive or confrontational managerial responses, and failures to notify families after incidents (falls, injuries). There are also reports of billing and vendor issues (bounced checks, refund disputes), claims of misrepresentation on the facility website, and concerns about credibility when staff or administrators attempt to paint a more positive public picture (posters advertising 5-star quality versus on-the-ground experience). Some reviewers escalated issues to police, ombudsmen, or cited negative press and potential legal action.

    Despite the many negative reports, there is a consistent counter-narrative from other families and some staff members who describe genuinely compassionate care experiences. Multiple reviews praise individual caregivers, CNAs, nurses, therapists, and named administrators (for example Odette Martin, Julie, Michelle, Monica, Justice, Britney, Irene, Yvette, Kim) for being attentive, professional, or uplifting. The therapy/rehab department receives recurring positive feedback for helping with stroke recovery and mobility, and some families reported meaningful functional improvements and well-coordinated therapy visits. The activities department is frequently recognized for offering engaging, creative programming (holiday events, social activities, virtual events during COVID, therapy animal visits, coffee bar), and some residents are described as happy, social, and supported by staff.

    Facility condition and aesthetics are described inconsistently. Several reviewers say parts of the building are outdated, run-down, or in urgent need of repair (peeling wallpaper, stains, flooding), while other reports note recent renovations, remodeled areas, and a cleaner, better-maintained appearance in some wings. Food service opinions also split: many families report poor food quality, inappropriate meals for residents with chewing or dietary needs, and hygienic issues in the kitchen, whereas a smaller set of reviews mention satisfactory meals, snacks for visitors, and accommodating dining staff.

    A recurring theme is extreme inconsistency: care quality and resident experience often appear to depend heavily on the specific staff on duty, specific wings or rooms, or whether the facility is under newer management in a given period. Some families emphasize dramatic improvement with new leadership or remodeling, while many others insist that core problems—staffing levels, clinical competency, sanitation, and management accountability—remain unaddressed. Several reviewers explicitly advise against sending loved ones there, citing safety, theft, and neglect; others highly recommend the facility because of particular staff or therapy successes.

    In summary, the reviews collectively indicate a facility with polarized performance: pockets of genuinely strong, compassionate care, therapy, and activities coexist with repeated and severe allegations of neglect, unsanitary conditions, theft, medication and clinical errors, poor leadership, and administrative failures. Anyone evaluating this facility should weigh the specific risks reported (safety lapses, hygiene, theft, medication errors) heavily, seek direct, recent verification of staffing and clinical oversight (especially on weekends/holidays), and ask for written policies and incident histories. Families who reported positive experiences frequently cited particular staff members and program details—those specifics can be helpful when doing a tour or interview—while negative reviewers repeatedly recommended involving ombudsmen or authorities when issues arose.

    About Aspen Point Health and Rehabilitation

    Aspen Point Health and Rehabilitation sits at 2840 W Clay St in Saint Charles, MO, and it mainly focuses on health and rehabilitation care, so you'll find it classified as a skilled nursing facility with 180 certified beds and an average daily census of about 53 residents, which is less than the total beds they have, and people seeking specialized help might notice they do offer different therapeutic programs and support services tailored to the needs of each resident, with an approach that customizes care based on individual requirements, and staff members include some who speak more than one language, though English is standard for most clinic staff, and the building is close to apartments, townhomes, houses, and condos, although the details about living spaces and interior features aren't made fully clear, besides saying they offer some apartment-style accommodations and things like outdoor areas, parking, and possible internet or satellite, though nothing very specific is mentioned about amenities beyond those basics. The facility runs as a for-profit limited liability company, managed by Clay Street Consulting LLC since June 2023, and it's owned directly by Vhs Mo Opco Holdings LLC, with indirect connection to Vertical Health Services LLC and several other companies, so its structure is part of a larger company network, and it's even affiliated with Vertical Health Services. Aspen Point Health and Rehabilitation provides a wide range of health-related services, including skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, and programs to help with various clinical challenges, and the staff say they aim to offer thorough, tailored care for each resident, with a focus on skilled procedures and treatments, but there have been recurring problems over the years, and the place's track record does include some serious issues highlighted by government inspections. Aspen Point Health and Rehabilitation has a history of health and safety deficiencies, getting cited 129 times in inspection reports and receiving $489,000 in federal fines over the past three years for care violations, with Medicare ratings reflecting these problems and the facility holding a Special Focus Facility status, which gets flagged when a place has repeated quality failures that don't get fixed for a long time. Recent reports have pointed out things like failure to assess and plan for resident care, not keeping medical records private, and not providing enough food or fluids to keep people healthy, with specific tags like F0658 and F0692 for those problems, and inspectors found six infection-related deficiencies and noted actual harm to residents on several occasions, including deficiencies rated as high as level K, which is up there for severity. There have been issues with not having enough staff to handle all the care and hygiene needs of residents, incomplete assignments, and a nurse turnover rate of 79.7%, which stands a lot higher than the state average, and daily nurse staffing hours per resident lags behind the state average too, which inspectors say contributes to missed hygiene, missed grooming, and missed assessments. Some of the more concerning findings include delays in telling families and doctors about changes like new pressure sores, missed medication doses that led to emergency hospitalizations, and documentation lapses caused by unpaid internet bills that cut off access to medication records, so Aspen Point has been cited for both actual harm and substandard care, leading to suspended payments and fines, and while the facility does deliver a wide selection of health services and programs, the inspection reports and government records show ongoing problems that haven't been fixed quickly, with some findings pointing to harm that did happen to residents. Right now, Aspen Point Health and Rehabilitation isn't accepting new patients, and the facility does keep an online directory with updates at least once a month, along with options to share, print, or download the facility's vCard, but people should know about the cited issues when considering any decisions, and this includes details like difficulties ensuring residents get all ordered medications or help with deep tissue injuries, so you can see that while they have specialized care programs and services custom-made for residents, they also face challenges in keeping up with federal standards for resident safety and quality of life, and that's something worth keeping in mind.
