Overview of McKnight Place Assisted Living and Memory Care McKnight Place Assisted Living and Memory Care offers assisted living, memory care, nursing home, respite care, and skilled nursing in Saint Louis, Missouri. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.
Nursing home and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Respite care offers a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. Having several care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can continue without moving to another community.
The community has 175 beds, making it a larger setting with more residents, staff, and programming. The starting price is $10,650, but that amount is not tied to a specific care level, so it should be treated only as a general monthly starting point. Medicare is accepted for short term skilled care after a hospital stay, not for long term residence.
Gardens give residents outdoor space, while gourmet dining provides prepared meals within the community. Beauty and barber salons offer personal grooming services, and exercise and fitness programs provide opportunities for regular activity. Rehabilitation services support short term rehabilitation and respite care, while transportation services can assist with trips beyond the community.
Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in. Elizabeth Stotser serves as the administrator, and Mpal Real Estate operates the community. A doctor is on staff, making physician care part of the community’s services.
The area has a Walk Score of 34 and is car dependent. Most errands require a car or a ride, including for a resident who no longer drives. This may be a good fit for someone who needs assisted living, memory care, nursing home, skilled nursing, or a short respite stay, particularly if remaining in the same community as care needs change matters to the family.
