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.
