Victorian Gardens is a senior living community where residents can choose from studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, some of which have options like an outside porch, courtyard patio, balcony, or deck, and the apartments are elegantly finished for comfort. The community has luxury amenities including a theater, library, heated indoor pool, shuffleboard, a massive courtyard with a putting green, and walking paths where residents can enjoy the outdoors or sit in the courtyard for a breezy, open feeling. There's a beauty salon, barber shop, on-site general store, chapel, and private dining rooms for family gatherings or special meals, and residents can park their vehicles themselves. The buildings look a bit like a small village inside, with faux fronts and airy spaces, and the entryway is columned and has red brick, giving a welcoming touch.
Victorian Gardens lets residents bring their cats and dogs, and they allow both male-only and female-only accommodations, which is a detail some people care about, and all the showers are wheelchair accessible for those needing them. The community offers a range of care from independent living, assisted living, and memory care for those who may have Alzheimer's or dementia, to onsite nursing provided by an independent service, Helping Hands LLC, which is around 24/7. The activities calendar stays busy, with a full-time director organizing things like game nights, bingo, Wii bowling, movie nights, cards, and field trips to Cardinals games, casinos, and aquariums, which residents seem to enjoy, especially with the ease of complimentary transportation.
On-site, there are devotional services, a chapel for quiet time, and a library for those who like to read. The community supports aging in place, providing help for things like bathing, grooming, dressing, and medication, and they offer respite care for short stays, plus home maintenance services such as cleaning and repairs. The nurses are on staff and also available on-call, and there's help from podiatrists, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy if residents need it. There are options for home care, where trained aides give companionship and non-medical care to those living at home, and the community includes shared residential care homes with live-in caregivers for daily help.
Victorian Gardens has a family-owned background and treats both staff and residents like part of the family, which you can feel in the atmosphere, and while they're not BBB accredited, they do have an A+ BBB rating. Meals are provided, plus concierge-style services to make daily life easier, and the environment aims to be social and welcoming for seniors who want an active lifestyle or need more support as they age. The memory care section offers special support for those with dementia, focusing on reducing confusion and making sure residents don't wander off. Overall, Victorian Gardens mixes both resort-style living and the everyday support many seniors may want, and it's set up so people can keep enjoying life as their needs change.
