Autumn View Gardens Assisted Living Ellisville

My father has lived at AVG for about a year now. I think, like anywhere, AVG has its share of problems. But, we have not yet encountered anything to be seriously concerned about. The staff is professional and friendly. The director is available and present. The residents always seem happy. Let's be honest, none of the residents are overly excited to be living there and not on their own, but my family has gotten to know some of them through casual interaction, and there are never complaints.One of the most telling anecdotes I can share is this--last winter my Dad was going to be interviewed for a national radio show, but was too sick to leave the facility at the time. The journalist and his team (sound team and producer) didn't think AVG would let them on the premises, due to the stigma of 'shock journalism,' etc. The interview had nothing to do with the facility (it was about financial fraud), but from experience, the reporter knew that these places are very concerned about journalists. The crew made a series of contingency plans, fairly certain they wouldn't be allowed to interview dad.When we got there, I spoke to the facility director, and he did not hesitate to allow the entire crew to come in. He did not have a shred of concern. During the interview, he advised staff to stay clear in order to provide some privacy, and they did not require a staff member to be present to 'monitor' what was going on.In summary, very pleased with the facility, and highly recommend it to those in need of such services.

My father was a resident until he required additional care. Thankful for their attention to his needs while he was there, and miss their team. Their team is present and personable. Thank you.

I walked in today and there was a group of elders waiting in the lobby. I asked where they were going. One lady Beamed and said, 'We are going shopping at Walmart'! She went on to share about their trip that same afternoon for a Joy Ride. What a Happy Group of Seniors!!!

Until recently, my 86 year old mother lived in Kansas City. Most of her life was solitary with only her pets and her TV to keep her company. Due to a death in the family, I decided to move her to the St. Louis County area to be near me. After touring several assisted living locations, I found Autumn View Gardens in Ellisville. I was amazed at how happy the residents were. The employees were friendly and the building was bright, clean and attractive. My mother is SO happy there. If you ask her what is best about this place, she would quickly respond - 'THE FOOD!'
