Overview of Cedarhurst of Tesson Heights

Cedarhurst of Tesson Heights is a three-story, 108-bed community in St. Louis County that offers both independent and assisted living, run by Cedarhurst of Tesson Heights Operator, LLC and administered by Thomas Hornstein. It sits at 12335 W Bend Dr, in a car-dependent stretch of St. Louis (Walk Score 23), so getting around mostly means driving, not walking.

The community runs at 59 percent occupancy, below capacity but not unusual for a building this size. Staff are on site around the clock, and residents can tap into rehabilitation services, respite care, and nursing support as their needs shift. That range matters here, since the building houses two different levels of care under one address.

Day to day, meals come through full-service, all-day dining, and a transportation program handles the trips residents would otherwise need a car or a family member for. Outside, landscaped courtyards give people a place to sit that isn’t a hallway or a dining room, and pets are welcome, which isn’t nothing for someone leaving a house they’ve lived in for decades.

The pricing splits cleanly: $2,675 a month for independent living, $4,600 for assisted living. That gap is the real story here; it’s a community built to hold someone through a transition, from living mostly on their own to needing daily hands-on care, without forcing a move across town when their needs change.

The 48-bed community has operated for over a century and today carries five care designations: nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care. Administrator Jean Bardwell leads the operation under Malik St. Louis LLC. The neighborhood scores a 39 on walkability, so transportation is a practical consideration for families and visitors.

Ninety percent of beds are currently filled, 43 of 48, which is a meaningful occupancy figure for a community this size and care mix.

Total nursing hours run at 3 hours and 58 minutes per resident per day. Registered nurses account for 26 minutes of that, nurse aides for 2 hours and 11 minutes. Twenty-four-hour staffing is confirmed.

Named programs include Bavaria Memory Care and Supported Living, which signals a structured approach to both dementia care and residents with broader support needs. Rehabilitation services and respite care round out the clinical options. Religious services are available on site.

The dining room has a view of the Mississippi River, and meals are restaurant-style with dietary accommodation. Small pets including cats are permitted. Amenities include private bathrooms, wall-to-wall carpeting, fresh flowers throughout, reserved parking, manicured grounds, and a smoke-free building with a fire suppression system. Utilities, housekeeping, and linen service are all included.

St. Louis Altenheim is a full-service, century-old nursing community in south St. Louis with a broad care range, named memory and support programs, and a physically detailed residential environment; suited to older adults who need nursing-level oversight in a long-established setting.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Missouri

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Missouri?

Assisted living in Missouri supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Missouri Medicaid cover memory care?

Missouri Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Missouri) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 238 memory care communities in Missouri. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Missouri?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Missouri, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in Missouri?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
