Lake St. Charles Retirement Community sits on 14 peaceful acres in St. Charles, Missouri, perched on a scenic hillside with a panoramic lake view, and while the setting is tranquil, there's daily life buzzing inside, with residents coming and going from beautifully designed common areas, the Coffee Café in the lobby, the lounge, the Ice Cream Shop, and Happy Hour area, and you can always hear little groups gathering for weekly bingo, brunches, or Christmas parties with horse-drawn carriage rides and caroling, and even big events like a Senior Prom or Hawaiian Luau happen throughout the year. The place stays busy thanks to a recreation team of ten staffers who run activities seven days a week, and folks appreciate how the place feels friendly, lively, and safe, with testimonials calling the staff kind, supportive, and caring-there's even a "Wall of Fame" to show off those staff who've been around the longest, which is a point of pride, since turnover's low and people get to know each other well.
