Our experience at The Grande was terrible. Sadly, my dad died after being there for two months. He was on the Memory Care floor. Supervision was extremely poor. There are significant staffing needs, and the leadership does not have the respect of the workers because the workers do not follow their directions. We dealt with a different issue almost every day. The room was not cleaned, our dad's clothes were not cleaned, and/or my dad had not eaten. Because the supervision was extremely poor, clothing and food were always taken from my dad's room. My dad had his own issues, so he is not innocent, but with better leadership and staffing the supervision would surely improve. We would never recommend someone to take a family member to The Grande at Laumeier Park. It looks like a great place on the outside and does look nice inside, as well. The issue is their care for residents, leadership, staffing, and supervision. Especially on the Memory Care floor.

Very nice facility itself. If you choose it don't expect good service and don't let them manage your medication.The facility was very nice.

Very nice facility itself. If you choose it don't expect good service and don't let them manage your medication.The facility was very nice. But he had lots of problems with staff management and his medication service prompting him to nit tho it it was worth the expense so he moved. He did enjoy the attention to veterans and he did say the residents there were great. But several had the same experience as him.

The Grande at Laumeier Park provides great care. Our family member is very happy there. He loves the food. The staff are caring. And he is meeting people. It has been a great place for him to live.

I found The Grande at Laumeier Park for my mom. The person I talked to met me on a Saturday midday. We had a nice chat in a beautiful room that was like a little conference room. She explained everything in detail, and we took a tour. The facility is clean. It's brightly painted and not super bright, but calmly and brightly painted. The furniture is nice. It's not elegant, but it's nice. The place is well coordinated. The rooms are a pretty good size. It is on the road, but it's back behind a shopping center. There are woods between the shopping center and it. There are woods and green all behind it. There is a very nice assisted living patio and a very nice apartment. The memory care is where my mom is going to be. It's locked on the second floor. The elevators are behind the door. It looks like every other door on the floor. That door is card-keyed to open/close. It's very secure. Even people visiting the people on the first floor or third floor, can get in the elevator. However, they cannot access the second floor. It doesn't open unless you have a card key. I went there yesterday afternoon just to talk to Carol. I had made the decision it was going to be where she was going to be placed. She found me three rooms to choose from in the back of the facility that faced the park. I picked one of those rooms, which I thought she would be very comfortable in. It's very tranquil and very quiet. They have soft music. They do restaurant style dining. They can pick from a worded menu or a picture menu. They have a separate menu that is things that the resident will eat, just in case they don't like anything on the regular menu. The dietitian has the rule that nobody goes hungry, basically. There are three meals a day, plus unlimited snacks. They have snacks, drinks, water, juices, and stuff like that for the residents for when they want or need them. I only met two of the nurses, but it was in passing. They said hello. They were very cordial. They were very kind. When I saw them with the residents, the aides were very kind. They were going and getting all the residents and walking them down to the dining room for dinner. They publish an activity calendar every month. They go down and knock on the door and get the residents to come out for activities. They have a nice, small, and wood fenced area, like a yard off the second floor. It's actually on solid ground. They can go out with any one of the aides or the nurses. If they want to go outside, they will basically unlock the door and let them out. They go out and stay with them. When they're ready to come in, they bring them back in. When she goes in, they'll give her a bracelet. That bracelet will detect a fall. If she's in her bedroom at night or if she leaves the room, it will go off at the nurse's station to let them know she's wandering. It was by far the best, cleanest, and brightest place that I looked at in Missouri. I thought it was laid out very well. It is like a pale yellow. It's a very bright community with white walls and white baseboards. The rugs are all carpeted, except for the rooms. The rooms are always in a dark color or light wood. It was a very pretty facility.
