8 Best Memory Care Facilities in Buxton, MO

While looking for a facility for my Mother, I wanted something close to my home. My mom is very well taken care of by the staff and they are always very helpful. For activities, they have things like Zumba, carolers come in, church services, and they even have people who bring their dogs in. There is always something to do all day long. The food here is absolutely phenomenal and my mom always raves about it. They serve 1 main entrée with an optional side menu if you don’t like what they’re having. I would recommend this community to other families.

My loved one is currently a resident at Norterre and everything has been great for her at this facility except for maybe the food. However, I do know that they are working on improving that area. This facility does an excellent job of communicating with me regarding all aspects of my loved one's care. I would definitely recommend the facility to others. The staff have been very helpful and communicative regarding the status of my loved one. This is the only facility I saw that has a small kitchenette in each room. It allows us to keep snacks, beverages and treats for my loved one in her room. Also, the feel of the room is more of a home rather than just a room because of the small kitchen area. The move in process was fine, except we attempted it during the dinner hour. Because she is in Memory Care, the area is secured so we often had to wait for staff to let us in and out , while they were busy with assisting residents with their dinner. The facility is clean and more importantly my loved one is always clean and her hair is clean. I think the staff are good people trying to help take care of their residents.

The staff at Brookdale Shawnee are wonderful. The move in process was very good, they were very accommodating. The meals seem to be okay. I think that the individual rooms need to be cleaned more than once a week. Overall, it's a very nice facility. The staff are just so very nice and caring for the residents there, which means the world to us. I would recommend Brookdale Shawnee to others.
