I was impressed with Village Center Care of Wentzville. It was a nice, quiet, and clean community. Kim, the associate there, was just wonderful. She was absolutely on it. She was amazing. She answered every question that I had thoroughly and then some. I was very, very pleased with her. She was like the selling factor for me. I can tell she's a very caring individual and really likes her job and does it well. The place looked clean and very well-kept. Everybody that I saw there looked like they were well-kept. I love the smaller community, so it doesn't overwhelm my mother. The rooms were very tidy and spotless. They looked very comfortable. They had everything that they needed. The bathrooms were the same way, very comfortable and very clean. I was very impressed with all of that. There was a common dining area, and I was there at 3:30. It was spotless in there. I couldn't get over how clean the place was. It was wonderful. The grounds were well kept. They had a beautiful fenced-in back patio, so they could go outside and sit, and it was a secure area. I was very impressed with that. It looked very comfortable. A lady was doing a puzzle and a gentleman watching TV in the common area, and I saw a couple of people puttering around. They all seemed like they were happy where they were, so I was happy with that. I liked what they had. They're not like the Taj Mahal retirement centers around, but I think it's a very quaint, adorable little place that an elderly person could be very comfortable in.

I wasn't impressed with Village Center Care of Wentzville at all. The place was old and not kept up, and it was dark and gloomy. The rooms were small and crowded. Everything seemed outdated. They were short-staffed, but the ones we met were nice. They had a little courtyard area, it was small, but it was nice.

My tour of Village Center Care of Wentzville went well. My father is at the top of the waitlist. It's not a real modern facility. It's an old home, but it is very homey, which is what I like. It doesn't have an institutional feel the way most assisted living places do. It feels more like a dorm. It's old hardwood floors and it's an older building. It's not like a hospital like most nursing homes are. It's more like a bunch of people are renting a mansion with a bunch of rooms. I like that it's a small place. There are only like 8 or 10 rooms there or something like that. Some of them are shared and then there are one or two private rooms. I think my dad will like it there. There was only one person during the tour and her name was Christine, and she was very nice. She is one of the caregivers. They were just basic rooms. The only room that I saw was a shared room, so there are two people in there and not a whole lot to report on. Upkeep and maintenance seemed fine. While I was there, they were in the middle of installing a privacy fence on the grounds outside. There's a community room like a TV room where some of the residents watch TV together, and there's a dining room. My dad is a smoker, and it is a positive thing for us that there's a deck at the back of the building for people to smoke. The dining room was pretty small. It's a pretty small place, and it's what we're looking for. My dad is going to love it there because it doesn't have that hospital feel.

My husband moved into the Village Center Care of Wentzville a week ago, and I'm satisfied right now. With the pandemic, I'm not able to be inside the place, but they have reported back to me, and it seems to be going OK so far. I would be more comfortable if I could go in and see everything that's going on, but so far, they're taking care of his needs. His room is very nice and pretty big. He now has someone else in the room with him and that seems to be doing OK as well. He says the food is good. It's not new. It's older, but it looks like it's kept up very well. The price is a lot better, and it's closer to me than the other place he was in. The only thing that I'm concerned with is there's no bathroom in his room. It's right outside the door, but so far, it sounds like he's doing OK with that.
