Arbor Health is an assisted living community at 1004 Pennsylvania Ave in University City, Missouri, providing support for seniors who need help with daily living or medical care, and there's a focus on making everyone feel safe and welcome, and they let residents bring pets to help with comfort and emotional needs. The facility offers both assisted living and skilled nursing services, so residents can get help with bathing, dressing, medication, and meal preparation, and staff is there around the clock if anybody needs help in the night, and there's also a 24-hour call system for emergencies, which gives a bit of peace of mind if family is worried about leaving loved ones there. Arbor Health has private and semi-private rooms, fully furnished, with kitchenettes, WiFi, telephones, and cable, and housekeeping and linen services are included, so folks don't have to worry so much about chores or cleaning. There's a main dining room with restaurant-style meals, and cooks can adjust meals for dietary restrictions, including diabetic diets or allergies, and there are a variety of options with all-day dining available, which fits people's preferences whether they want to eat early or later in the day.
A small library, indoor and outdoor common areas, a garden, and spaces for organized group activities give residents chances to socialize, watch movies, walk on the paths, get their hair cut in the barber/salon, or just enjoy the outdoors, and there are mental wellness programs, devotional activities off-site, and wellness programs for staying active and healthier, and that includes specialized diabetic care. There's help with moving in and settling down, and when residents need more support or memory care, that's being developed, so those with cognitive needs will have dedicated programs soon, and skilled nurses and visiting medical professionals are there for extra health care oversight. Arbor Health offers respite care, so folks who need short-term stays have an option, and the staff tries to create a comfortable and inclusive place no matter how much or little care a person needs, with people supporting each other and a team committed to safety, cleanliness, and well-being. There's supervision and structure, but there are also social activities, movie nights, garden walks, arts rooms, and community events, with services like laundry and medication management always close at hand, while the medium size of the place helps it stay welcoming and not too overwhelming for new folks coming in.
