St. Louis Altenheim

The Altenheim was recently purchased by a company. It is no longer a not for profit organization Many changes are happening. I feel sorry for the residents and staff.

Our family had an in person tour and the tour experience was fantastic, the staff we met with spent a great deal of time with us walking around the community and answering all of our questions.

This is a really nice community. It is not real fancy like Sunrise but we liked that it felt unique and not corporate at all. The staff are very responsive to our questions, concerns, and requests.

This is a really nice community. It is not real fancy like Sunrise but we liked that it felt unique and not corporate at all. The staff are very responsive to our questions, concerns, and requests. They were able to speak to the doctor and be able to allow my loved one a better wheelchair next day. There is a good variety of options for meals for the residents. It is not fancy, and it is more homecooked meals. The desserts are what my loved one really enjoys and they are good. They encourage the family to come to visit their loved ones. They even have apartments for the family to visit overnight with no charge. There is no charge to eat in the dining room with our loved one. The community looks out over the Mississippi Bluffs, and it is beautiful.

Altenheim St. Louis is marvelous. We love it here. It's super peaceful. It's a welcoming community. I feel like my loved one is getting the care that she needs. It's a great facility. They're experiencing the usual staffing problems everybody is having right now, but that's not their fault. A...

Altenheim St. Louis is marvelous. We love it here. It's super peaceful. It's a welcoming community. I feel like my loved one is getting the care that she needs. It's a great facility. They're experiencing the usual staffing problems everybody is having right now, but that's not their fault. And the staff they do have there are very good.

This is a nice small community, and all the staff know all of the residents. There is a lot of turnover of nursing staff due to the pandemic, and this has caused some inconsistency in care. The oven system had not been working, so all the food was either toasted or microwaved for the residents...

This is a nice small community, and all the staff know all of the residents. There is a lot of turnover of nursing staff due to the pandemic, and this has caused some inconsistency in care. The oven system had not been working, so all the food was either toasted or microwaved for the residents. I'm not sure how long the oven was not functioning. The food has seemed subpar for me for my loved one.

Mom loved touring this facility, she was impressed with the scenic view, the staff and the friendliness of the residents. After we left the tour, we knew this was the place for her. She has made lots of friends and looks forward to the activities that they offer.
