Lake St Charles is an average facility. My parents lived there a year and the facility is fairly…read moreclean and the rooms are large The front desk staff was always very unhelpful when my parents needed something simple - even tho it's independent living, there was an expectation that if they need some simple assistance, say with the cable, that the front desk would oblige but usually when their cable went out, I had to call spectrum myself even tho the account is thru the facility the main reason for the three stars is that they stick it to you upon moveout. first they tried to tell my parents they needed a physicians note to move even tho the lease was up. then they made my parents pay for the full Month they moved even tho they had paid first and last month rent at move in. the final straw is I have to call repeatedly to get their refund only to be told the carpet had to be replaced due to stains. imagine my surprise as I was the last one in the apartment and there were no stains. hindsight - I wish I had taken pictures when they moved out if you move a loved on in, be aware of these things and read the fine print in the lease

I would highly recommend Crestview as a community where your loved ones would feel welcomed and cared for. On behalf of my 2 brothers and sister we have nothing but high praises for Pat, the Crestview staff and the staff of Co-Operative Health Care. They have all shown such patience, caring and understanding in the light of our Mom's declining health. In the event your loved ones are looking for a place they can live their golden years among friendly residents and caring staff Crestview is the place to be. Fondly, Kathy D

I would highly recommend staying far away from this facility. My 87-year old mother lived there for…read morethe past year, until July when she fell in her bathroom and broke her hip. She fell at 2am on a Sunday. The facility is supposed to check on their residents by 9 am. No one checked on my mother that day at all. Infuriating. I talk with mother usually every Sunday so when I didn't hear back from her by Monday morning, I called Crestview to do a wellness check. Tori said she went to check on mom and said that mom was just tired but okay. So it took me calling to get them to check on her. Turns out that later in the day, another gal named Lisa, found my mom at 3pm still lying on the bathroom floor, in pain. She called 911 and my mom was taken to the hospital - after lying on the floor for 37 hours. So much for good care. We found a new place for mom and when I went to clean our mom's apt at Crestview last week, the director Christina asked to speak to me. She denied that we had left her any voice messages and said she didn't receive any - from myself, my aunt and also mom's social worker. Christina insisted we give a written 30-day notice and that mom has to pay for September rent despite her move being involuntary, as she can no longer live independently. I asked Christina if there was any way we could reach an agreement since we are not a litigious family, but she was unwilling to budge at all. OH, P.S. The State of Missouri is now investigating them for the elder abuse.

I question the care during the 2nd and 3rd shift hours when we are not there. She routinely comes up with large black and purple bruises on her arms and legs, and the staff always blames her instead of taking the blame for rough handling. The owner claims this is a 5 star facility...not even close!...but you pay 5 star prices..$300 a day. The "real" 5 star facilities in this area actually look like a five star hotels inside. This place looks like an old hospital inside. The rooms share a toilet without showers. Do your research there are better facilities around.

My initial interactions with this business were quite negative. However, in recent days, my…read moreimpression of this establishment has become much more positive. The grounds are well-kept. The residents are very nice retirees. The care-givers are always pleasant whenever we encounter them. Importantly, an executive for the Villa named Bob has been making an incredible effort to be inclusive and welcoming. This establishment just had an outdoor showing of "The Black Panther" for their residents. Bob welcomed non-residents to join the event. He gave us bags of popcorn, and helped us set up our lawn chairs. He was incredibly polite and friendly to everyone who was there. They even had free Italian Ice for the movie-goers. Bob's generous hospitality and sense of community GREATLY improved my feelings toward this establishment. Take a tour. The building is very lovely on the inside as well.

The staff there directly lied to us about what they could and couldn't do, citing that it was "illegal" to have an alarm on her bed when it isn't. She has fallen 3 times this week after having surgery for her broken leg. They let our mom sit by herself for so long that she wet herself even though she isn't incontinent. Our questions were met with made up answers and we had to hire someone to sit with her and care for her so we could sleep at night.
