The Estates of Hidden Lake in Saint Louis sits on Hidden Lake Drive and stands out with its care options all under one roof, so folks can get skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, independent living, and respite stays as needed, and the place has structured programs helping residents stay active and keeping up good spirits. Residents have support for daily needs, including grooming and health therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, while the staff, who speak English, keep a close watch for safety and well-being and connect with families openly. The building's set up for wheelchairs and walkers, with wheelchair-accessible showers and no smoking allowed in any private or public indoor space, and there's easy access if someone has mobility needs. People can bring their pets or live with their cats and dogs, which is nice, and the pet-friendly policy makes sure furry friends can visit or stay with their owners. The grounds and all common areas, both inside and outside, are open to everyone, and there's an outdoor patio where folks can sit out and enjoy the fresh air.
Residents have choices of private rooms, studio apartments, one- and two-bedroom apartments, or cottages, and all the spaces come spacious and comfortable, and the whole campus is purpose-built so seniors can keep their freedom. Meals come prepared by a chef and the dining room works restaurant-style, even offering private spaces for parties or special visits, and they can handle dietary restrictions or special diets, while snacks and meals happen throughout the day. Folks get help getting out and about too, since transportation's provided at no cost, and the place is close to public transportation, which makes visits or trips into town easy. Every week, there are devotional services onsite and offsite for anyone who wants spiritual support, and a mix of social and educational activities like bingo, field trips, movie nights, sing-alongs, wellness classes, and game nights helps everyone stay engaged and meet new friends. They welcome families and guests, with happy hours, entertainment, and even spaces set aside for gatherings.
Hospice and respite services are there if people need short-term support, which helps caregivers get a break, and the staff're trained to handle memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, including tailored activities and a secure building. For long-term needs, there's full-time nursing, rehabilitation, help with daily activities, and support plans made for every person. Nutritious meal plans, free parking and Wi-Fi, supervised outings, amenities for pets, activities for all seasons, and weekly onsite church services add to the community feel. The Estates of Hidden Lake holds a couple awards, including Best of Senior Living and Best Activities, and its approach centers on each resident's unique needs so people can thrive and feel at home, even if they need more help as time goes on.
