Spectrum Retirement

Very personable staff. Beautiful facility and great location to doctors, hospitals, shopping, restaurants, etc. Many activities for all residents to enjoy, or quietness in their own apartments/rooms/homes when they prefer that.

A few dear friends call The Homestead at Hickory View home, and it truly is! The daily activities available keep the residents active and having fun. Who wouldn't want that for their loved one? Homestead is a very clean and welcoming environment, and a great choice for a retirement community in Washington, MO!

Homestead at Hickory Review is truly a wonderful retirement community. The staff is loving and caring and truly give their all towards the residents that live there. The property is taken care for in an excellent manner, to include absolute cleanliness, beautiful surroundings and many activities for the residents. The staff does an absolutely wonderful job in keeping their residents extremely active in the many events not only at Homestead, but other activities throughout the Washington, Missouri community.

I am very impressed by the care my dad is receiving. The staff is great. The home is immaculate and I am so glad my father was able to go there!

When my mom was in need of assisted living I learned of a new residence that was opening called Peakview. We went to the open house and learned everything Peakview had to offer and it was at that time I met the Director of Community Relations. She was extremely helpful, compassionate and met with me in confidence outside the bathroom facilities so I could put a down payment on a future move in date. She was understanding and supportive during that difficult day and continued to be patient, helpful, supportive, compassionate for the next six months until my mom moved into Peakview. She was my strength during those difficult months. Once my mom moved in we met other staff members and were greeted with friendliness, respect, and comfort. The staff provided an environment of safety, happiness, and a true caring attitude. They came and got mom for entertainment, activities, meals, and just being involved with other residents. They respected the entire building as her new home. It was an extremely difficult seven months for my mom with the numerous emotions she went through giving up her home and independence. It was less then 24 hours after mom moved into Peakview that she smiled and said to me I love it here it already it feels like home

I have visited with the residents at Homestead At Hickory View several times. It has always been a wonderful experience. I have noted the residents are kept engaged in various special events and activities. It has been my pleasure to attend these events and interact with the wonderful people who live and work at Homestead. I have also noted the buildings and grounds are very well cared for. Recently someone I know became a resident of Homestead. Staff there have been going out of their way to make him feel at home and accepted. The atmosphere at Homestead has always been welcoming when I go there. Homestead is just a wonderful place.

My sister is settling in nicely at Palos Verdes Senior Living. She enjoys participating in the numerous activities they offer. The food is nutritious, good and they offer a variety of choices. The community is clean and I would recommend it.

My mom lived in this community for about 2 weeks before she had a stroke and had to go to the hospital. The community is clean and well maintained. There has been no complaints about the food. The staff were wonderful. She started taking a computer class and we hope once she gets out of rehab she will be able to return to the community.

If my Dad settled in here without complaints, yours will too! Much, much better than sitting home alone. Keeps that brain and body going. Help is seconds aways, good meals in a nice dining room, music /entertainment / movies, socials and many activities... if you chose to participate. Or you can spend some time in the common areas, "just people watching". Excellent, professional, friendly, personable staff. At this stage in his 92+ years, it addresses all of his needs, not to mention he now lives in my neighborhood. Amazing how the staff gets to know all of the residents "personalities" and preferences. Very impressed overall and super-satisfied for the past year and a half since he's be "in."

I spent extensive time looking for the perfect place for my mom to have true independent senior living, and our experience with Shawnee Hills has been wonderful. Katie and the staff truly took time to make mom feel comfortable in the transition, moving from a single-family home to the community. It would have been easy to be overwhelmed with the details of her move, but Shawnee Hills offers incredible resources to help with: ~home realtor needs (Steve is the best!) ~personal movers to help consolidate, pack, and unpack ~estate sales. Everyone we worked with was top-notch, and really cared about making the move as seamless and easy as possible. When my mother moved in, she had a spotless apartment that was freshly painted and brand new carpeting throughout the unit. She is making new friends, engaged in activities, and loves living in a maintenance-free community. She enjoys all of the amenities, dining room and meals, and many event options. She even enjoys fresh pedicures offered at the on-site, full-service beauty salon. The staff take great care of clients, and if they don't have visual confirmation of each resident by noon each day, they make contact to insure everyone is safe and happy. This move has allowed mom to remain independent, and me to hover a little less. Shawnee Hills has been a blessing to us, and we are grateful for everyone here!

My Tour with the community went very well. The community looked great, everything was nice and clean. This was the first community I toured, and I was very impressed. The staff and residents were very friendly and welcoming. It was a very pleasant tour with nice people.

I have looked at many facilities to place my husband in and High Pointe shines above the rests. The place is very clean and the staff are thoughtful and helpful to my husband. The administrated staff helped me get my husband into our van when I was taking him to a doctor appointment. The staff does laundry and assist my husband with whatever he needs. The food is EXCELLENT and the dinning room is like a 5 star hotel. I saw a resident from the previous care center my husband was in now at High Pointe. She never talked to anyone, She is now at High Pointe and is caring on conversations with me and staff . I was TOTALLY AMAZED!!! If she has blossomed here any and everyone will. This is an AMAZING PLACE. Come and see for yourself.

My mom is doing better than she has in the past since moving into Lombard Place. The staff are very friendly and attentive to the residents needs. The food is good as I have eaten there numerous times. They have a good variety of options to choose from. They have activities for the residents, however she does not participate. They have a beauty salon there so she is able to get her hair done weekly.

I have been in many Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities....the Folks at Cedar Lake are Compassionate, Friendly Professionals..from the janitorial staff on up to the Directors. The residents ARE their Top priority. From the moment my Mom arrived she was welcomed by everyone. .the residents really enjoy the company of each other. The food is excellant..most facilities food tastes like hospital food, very bland, no flavor. .I have eaten all 3 meals there and the food tastes like home made. From Omelettes to Spaghetti sauce... I look forward to eating with my Mom. There are always many activities fir the residents to choose. They even have their own Movie Theater! The resident rooms are just big enough for my Mom to take care of (at 94).. Kudos to all the staff. .whether it's Maria's smiling face at the front desk, the individual caregivers, or the Wait Staff in the dining room everyone smiles and acknowledges the residents..so glad my friends told me about CedarLake. .I would recommend it to everyone!

Beautiful, well maintained place. Staff always looks happy. My mother is happy. She's in memory care and I was happy that it was secure. Snacks are given while they do crafts and available at all times. Mom would forget she ate. Place was built with the elderly in mind!

Our family is delighted with the positive, supportive community of staff and residents at Westview at Ellisville Assisted Living. From our first contact through what could have been a rocky transition for our 91-year-old mother, we have experienced kind and caring staff members who listen to our needs and are eager to help us. And - most of all - every staff member has helped our dear mother transition from her home smoothly and without a "hiccup". Mom loves the food, the environment, her apartment, and she even has been able to keep her beloved cat with her! We as a family of 7 also feel comfortable in the friendly atmosphere of Westview. We have all found a much needed feeling of security for Mom. We recommend Westview!

After my father passed, my mother who has Alzheimer's was being cared for by a private care giver in another independent living retirement community. We quickly learned that we needed professional care and a facility that is equipped for the special needs of a person with this illness. After searching and touring many facilities, we were drawn to Cedar Lake due to its smaller size, very caring and professional staff, the programs they offer for those with this illness and the location. Our family has been very happy with all aspects of the experience and care that my mother is provided. I would highly recommend that other families consider this facility.

Cedar Lake has been wonderful for my grandmother. The staff is so great with her despite some stubborn tendencies. It is always clean there and there are activities going on throughout the day. I love how they have taken the time to get to know my grandma and know what is important to her and what she enjoys. They know she loves trivia and puzzles and welcome and encourage her to join in. Grandma has made great friends and we, as a family feel comfortable that she is safe and in the best place for her. Just the other day I joined grandma for a fun game of marvelous minds that was followed by an ice cream social. Their website shares pictures of the fun activities that work sometimes doesn't allow us to attend. Thank you Cedar Lake , affectionately known in our family as "the lake house", we appreciate you and your care of grandma.

Our family is very happy with Cedar Lake. They have been very attentive to our loved one. Staff is friendly and we feel really comfortable during our visits. We are able to sleep at night knowing our loved one is cared for in such a wonderful way! We would definitely recommend Cedar Lake!

My "significant other's" mother has been a Cedar Lake resident since its opening, so I have visited her there many times over the past almost two years. The facility has always impressed me with its positive and warm atmosphere, but that is only topped by the quality of administration and staff. The professionals I have interacted with have been unerringly positive and helpful, and show a true interest in the residents. So impressive that, when it became time find some assistance for my own mother, Cedar Lake was a no brainer. Although it has only been two weeks now, it has already been a positive experience for my whole family. While we are all still feeling out the rhythm of life here, there is every expectation that mom is in a situation which will allow her to thrive and be happy. And the early feedback from first time visiting friends are also positive, saying it is a good fit for her.
