Overview of St Louis Altenheim

St. Louis Altenheim sits at 5408 S Broadway in St. Louis’s Carondelet neighborhood, a few miles south of the city center along the Mississippi. 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.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 57m per day ▲ 39% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.
