    Well maintained safe caring community

    I live here and appreciate the great owners and strong management - the buildings are well maintained with a theater, game room and exercise room. It feels safe and spotless, meals are good, meds come on time, and the staff are caring and very nice. Residents seem happy; activities like social hangouts, a fun Halloween party and games such as hangman keep things lively. I give it high marks, just shy of perfect.

    About Smiley Manor

    Smiley Manor LLC is a family-owned assisted living facility in St. Louis, MO, that's been providing senior care for over 30 years, and the experience shows in the way the staff give personalized care and pay attention to each resident's needs, so you'll find help with bathing, dressing, medication, and even insulin injections if needed, and they help those who can't walk move from beds to wheelchairs. Residents get their own rooms with a telephone, and there's always a 24-hour nursing staff on-site along with a call system if someone needs assistance. Meals are prepared and served daily, the set menus take allergies and diabetes into account, and there are options for special diets; housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning are all covered, too, which takes a load off everyone. People here find it's easy to make friends because the facility has a community room, furnished indoor spaces for gathering, and a schedule filled with movie nights, art sessions, church services every Sunday, and resident-led activities, along with shopping trips and time set aside for gardening or walking on the paths outside, and the monthly newsletter keeps everyone up to date. The community leans on Christian values and offers related amenities; interpreters for Swahili and Sign Language are available, which is helpful for those who need a little extra help communicating. Moving in gets some help from the staff, who coordinate the process, and there's transportation and parking for outings or doctor's appointments, with a house physician dropping by every month to check in. The facility has a strong focus on safety, dignity, and a clean environment, and residents benefit from emergency alert systems in case of problems. Smiley Manor offers respite stays for those who just need short-term care as well. With a 3.5-star rating from 12 reviews, and a steady record of offering quality care in a warm setting, this facility aims to provide a comfortable home and a bit of normalcy for everyone, with lots of ways to keep busy and supported.

    No, Smiley Manor does not offer respite care. Respite care in assisted living communities provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers by offering professional care for their loved ones. It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.

    Safety & Compliance
