Overview of St Agnes Home

Dedicated to 65+, St Agnes Home provides assisted living and nursing care in Kirkwood, MO.

Opened in 1935, the community has a 150-bed capacity and is currently at 65% occupancy.
Residents can also choose among studio apartments, suites, and one-bedroom apartments. An 89 / 100 Walk Score indicates a very walkable area, with most errands possible on foot. This suggests that a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby destinations independently.
