Village North sits on 45 acres in North St. Louis County and pulls together many care services, from independent living to assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, all in the same three-story building, with Christian Extended Care & Rehabilitation sharing space and services for both short-stay rehab and long-term care, so seniors can get many kinds of help without leaving the campus. The grounds wrap around a peaceful lake with walking paths, a gazebo, and green space, and you see people out with pets since the community's pet-friendly policy lets them bring their animals. Apartments come as studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, with some suites, and all feel pretty roomy. The complex has a beauty salon, a billiard and game room, a fitness center with group exercise classes, a library, and covered parking. The community has a hearth room with a fireplace where folks like to gather. The dining room serves three chef-prepared, restaurant-style meals every day, with a complimentary continental breakfast, and the culinary team adjusts menus for many tastes and diets, mixing healthy choices and comfort food.
Residents find weekly housekeeping helpful, and there are plenty of activities led by a life enrichment team, many listed on a calendar that stays busy with exercise classes, day trips, games, and educational events, all built for older adults to enjoy and stay connected. The community welcomes everyone from active, independent seniors enjoying social life and less hassle, to those needing daily help with things like bathing, dressing, or medication management. There's a strong program for memory care that helps those with Alzheimer's and other dementias reduce confusion and stay safe through secure environments and professional support. Nurses and aides are always on hand, prepared for skilled nursing care, and the community stays close to BJC's Christian Hospital, giving residents quick access to medical care and rehabilitation.
The place gets recognition for things like friendly staff, supportive management, and special awards, like Top Senior Care from St. Louis Magazine in 2024, and St. Louis seniors and their families often ask local advisors about details before moving in. There's a wellness program that includes fitness classes, nutrition guidance, and exercise plans for different skill levels, focusing on keeping people healthy as they age. Home care services are also available, so residents can get companionship and non-medical care in their apartments when needed. With covered parking, recently updated living rooms, and a lake stocked for fishing, many comforts help residents feel at home. The community's faith-based roots, its setting near nature, and the way it blends healthcare, activities, and senior support all in one spot seem to help a lot of folks find the right balance for their later years.
