Pacific Place Senior Living sits right in the heart of Webster Groves, and you'll find that it's meant for people aged 55 and older who want to keep their independence but also like having supportive help nearby. The place has 30 apartments and 2 cottages, which makes for a pretty close-knit group since you'll likely know your neighbors, and there's always someone friendly around. Some folks choose a one-bedroom or two-bedroom, and there are studio and semi-private options, so people really can find something that works for them, whether they're on their own or with a partner. Residents can bring their pets, and the community allows certain types, plus there are gardens and a courtyard if you want to enjoy the outdoors, and there are outdoor barbeque spots and even a gardening center for folks who enjoy working with plants.
Every apartment comes with a full-size kitchen, and you can cook for yourself or join others for meals in the bistro or dining room. There's an on-site restaurant called Big Sky Café, along with a private dining area and a wine garden for special occasions, or, for those who prefer not to cook, meal plans are available, and chefs prepare balanced meals. Guests are often welcome at meal times, and there's a complimentary continental breakfast served Monday through Friday. For daily living, laundry facilities, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and maintenance are all handled by staff, so people have more time for hobbies, outings, and socializing. Cable and high-speed WiFi come standard in every room, so staying connected and entertained is easy.
Pacific Place offers services for both independent living and assisted living, including memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and has nurses on staff plus personal care assistants if help's needed with bathing, dressing, or medicine. The building is secure with 24-hour security and an emergency call system in every unit, and there's a sprinkler system for safety. It's a non-smoking facility inside, and both guest parking and resident parking are available.
People can keep busy with all kinds of programs: weekly exercise classes, Tai Chi, cooking clubs, art classes, outings to local theaters and museums, trips to sporting events, and social activities every day. There's a game room, activities room, a Club Room for private events, and the place even has a resident music group. The building has both indoor and outdoor common spaces, a salon/barbershop for haircuts, a spa, and a florist right on-site. Folks also have access to a fitness center at Bethesda Orchard nearby, and it's easy to walk to the Old Orchard Shopping district. There's scheduled and complimentary transportation to help with errands or appointments. There's also handyman help for maintenance, plus advice and planning services if anyone needs support organizing their care. The environment has a boutique feel, more residential than institutional, which means shorter walks from one spot to another and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere.
The people who run Pacific Place and the staff get to know everyone personally and are known for being warm and helpful. The community has received awards from St. Louis Magazine and Best of Senior Living for the quality of care and service. Living here feels convenient and friendly, with many ways for people to keep active, explore hobbies, enjoy good meals, and stay safe and comfortable as they age, and all of it's set up to help people keep as much independence as they want while still offering extra help when the time comes.
