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.
