A Message from the President of Garden View Care Center
Hello, my name is Richard.
I grew up in a close knit family in St Louis. My mother and father lived close to my grandparents and we would frequently spent time together. After college my two siblings moved away to other parts of the country and when my dad passed in 1989 I was the only relative my mom had here in St Louis and I took on the responsibility of her welfare. Mom continued to live in the family home and apart from being a little eccentric. She remained in good health until her 86th birthday year when she suffered from a series of falls.
Having my mother fall alone in her home caused me to worry about her well-being and after some soul searching my brother and sister and I decided it would be best if our mother would go to Garden View Care center where she could live in a light filled garden view suite with the added benefit of 24 hour help on hand in case of any medical need.
My mother made the adjustment well and within a few weeks had settled in making friends with her new neighbors and was enjoying the company of other women and men her age. There were trips to the casino and local parks and she also was invited to walk the bases at a Cardinals game. As my mother approached her 90’s her health declined as she was suffering from dementia. My mother‘s appetite diminished and she found it difficult to talk. With the expert care that she received from the dedicated staff at Garden View Care center staff she eased into her remaining days with dignity.
She is sadly missed but through the experience of having my mother at Garden View Care Center I learned a lot, not only did I become an integrated family member of Garden View but I became a better President of Garden View.

A Word From Our Residents
“My mom-in-law is here for rehab following a fall. I can't say enough great things about the staff. Everyone is so helpful and really seem to care. They even keep her hair in a cute style and keep her clean and looking nice; this with every random time of the day visit we have made since her admission so we know it's consistent. This is a beautiful facility; very clean and no unpleasant odor anywhere we've wandered and she really likes the food, saying it's delicious. Unfortunately my mother-in-law may have to become a long-term resident but on the plus side, she'a already in a place that we approve of and making friends.”

“I worked at Garden View in Chesterfield as a Receptionist from August of 2020 to May of 2021. I will say it was the less stressful job I ever had. The moment you walk in you will be amazed with the cleanliness and the beautiful art work hanging on the walls. It is a very peaceful community where people truly care about one another. I will miss the smiles of the Residents and the welcoming smiling faces of all the employees. I will miss every department I had a chance to work with. If you want a great place to work this will be the place. If you are looking for a great retirement home to place a love one in this would be the place. The nurses truly care about the Residents and go above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of.”

“I visited this facility. My father was in a horrible, neglectful nursing home before he was transferred to Garden View. He is doing so much better now. He is walking better, eating better, more content. No place is perfect, but they really try here. The management does not tolerate poor care, and that makes all the difference in the world. The physical environment is well maintained and clean. They have activities for the residents. My father is safe now.”
