Garden Plaza of Florissant

Garden Plaza of Florissant is a senior living community that offers several care options all in one place, so folks can move from independent living to assisted living or memory care without having to leave their home community, and there's even skilled nursing and rehab in the Lakeview Post Acute Skilled Nursing Facility right on campus, which is nice when needs change over time. The campus sits in a peaceful setting with walking paths, a pond with ducks, gazebos, enclosed courtyards, and well-kept gardens, and there are luxury villas for those who want independence plus pet-friendly options and private patios, while assisted living residents get to pick studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments with full baths and kitchenettes, and everyone gets Wi-Fi, cable, and an emergency call system for peace of mind. Staff are there 24 hours a day to help with whatever's needed, whether that's help with medication, bathing, getting dressed, incontinence care, or diabetic care, or just making sure the laundry and housekeeping are done each week, and there's a health sensor system set up to help with fall prevention and health monitoring, so folks get the right help quick if something goes wrong. Folks in memory care who have Alzheimer's or dementia live in a secure area where staff are trained to care for people who might wander or get confused, and their spaces are set up to be familiar and calm to help reduce anxiety. Meals get prepared by chefs and meal planners, served restaurant-style three times a day in a dining room that feels social and friendly, and meals can be adjusted for different diets or preferences, plus there's a bistro, a café, and snacks for those who like to graze, and it's easy to get a haircut or shave at the on-site salon and barber. Scheduled transportation is available for doctor appointments, church, outings in St. Louis, and group trips to museums or restaurants, so seniors can stay connected to their city and friends, and there's always something going on like music, art, social hours, book clubs, or off-site trips, while therapy services right there on campus mean folks can get occupational, speech, or physical therapy without having to worry about driving somewhere else. The place is part of a network that includes Garden Villas North, Autumn View Gardens, and Cedarhurst of St. Charles, and only residents and their families can take inside tours to see how the days and meals go or check out the activity calendar, so the community tries to keep things lively but familiar and secure, all while offering different levels of care and support as needed.
