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.

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 244 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.
