I have put a deposit down with the Lutheran Senior Services at Breeze Park. They had all three levels of care. They had independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing. I was looking for all three of those in one location, and Lutheran was the only one that had those. There were two things I liked. It was not in the St. Louis County. It's in St. Charles County. It had all three levels: independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing. I would be moving in on the independent living because they have patio homes. The patio homes are a necessity because I don't want to be in the central building, where they have all the residents and stuff. I'm capable of living independently on my own in one of their facilities on the campus, which they refer to as a patio home. They have all kinds of social activities. None of that is what I would consider to be a make it or break it decision with respect to those kinds of activities, as far as I'm concerned. They met the primary criteria that I was looking for and anything over that is just extra. It's nice, but it's not that important. The staff has been nice.

My husband has been shuttled around before finding this facility. The care shown from our first day has not diminished but increased as they learned more about him and never ignored my questions or concerns. The entire staff I have encountered are caring, courteous and always willing to help for whatever the need may be.

I am very concerned about the conditions of the long term care "neighborhoods" and the quality and training of the staff. My aunt has been living here for quite some time and the overall conditions have declined. There are definitely problems with dirty carpet in the rooms and family rooms, dirty bathrooms, and the room tables that are used for the residents who eat in their room are never cleaned by the housekeeping staff. I have sat and watched the housekeeping staff come in and barely clean or wipe anything and rarely vaccume, Chairs in the dinging room are filthy and the bingo table and chairs are dirty too. I have also watched residents asking for anyone to come and help them (whether it is to go to the bathroom, or go back to their room, etc.) and the CNAs just ignore them, or say "ok Johnny we will do that in a few minutes. I often see the CNAs laying back on the couch looking at their cell phones, or eating themselves, while people are needing help. There is never enough staff around when the residents need it and it seems like the turn over has become extremely high. There is also a shortage of nurses (supposed to be one in every neighborhood for every shift), so if you ask a question about your loved ones care, the response is usually "I don't work on this side very often and I don't know." Every time I ask my aunt what someone's name is, she says, it doesn't matter, they will be gone by tomorrow. They have had some excellent CNAs in the past, but they are all gone now, and training of the constantly changing staff seems to be non-existent. Food is delivered from the main dining room in big carts and always seems to be cold and congealed by the time it gets to the residents in long term care. Seems strange that they no longer cook in the nicely appointed kitchens within the neighborhoods. My aunt pays over $9K a month to live there and I really think her son should be looking for someplace better for the money.

They are very pleasant, and they have a lot of employees that take care of the seniors. They take them on trips. They offer meals, and they have a nice dining room and cafeteria. They have entertainment, and they watch movies a couple of nights a week. There is a swimming pool. The food is excellent, and they have good cooks. You sit in the dining room, and you wait on it like a restaurant. It is top quality. The rooms have a nice living room, a dining room, and a bedroom. Some are two bedrooms with a kitchen and a sitting porch. Breeze Park is very well run with good people.

A top notch facility that we're seriously considering for Mom. One of the best in St. Charles from what I've seen after touring several facilities. As an aside however, it makes sense that tour guides be better equipped to answer pertinent questions concerning contracts, processes for deposits, financial details, etc. Would save time in the discovery stage for both parties.

I have to express my appreciation and thanks to a place like this. Was kept well great smiling faces at every turn. Not to mention the well educated staff. They were very experienced an knew a few things for myself to work on. Great over all establishment.

I toured this facility when attempting to locate a long-term living arrangement for a family member. The area is excellent and convenience to I-70 access. The living arrangements were recently renovated and seemed quality. The option to customize was available. Many activities seemed to be available. The upcoming calender we viewed included a parade, crafts, music, and library time. The cost of living within this facility is quite high and utilimately lead us to not select this option.
