Recent reviews of Independent Living in Monroe County, IL
Promenade Senior Living in Richmond Heights, MO
5.0

We were impressed with everything. My mother in law felt the menu options were limited, but I think at the time, occupancy was low, so that may have affected it. I can't really say about activities, because she wasn't there for very long until she had to be moved to skilled nursing.

Lutheran Senior Services At Breeze Park in St. Charles, MO
4.0

They are pretty good. It's very clean. The staff is pretty friendly. They have stuff going on for activities, but they told me they take them out at least once a week, they told us they had a bus with a lift, and they don't. They told us when she was there she would be able to eat in any of the dining halls, the one on the independent living side has an open flexible eating schedule but when it came down to it, you have to stay with the assisted living dining room, if that is your section. We liked that it was faith based and that is really what drove the decision to move here.
