Overview of St Louis Altenheim

Facebook Instagram LinkedIn

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.
