When I went to visit my grandparents at the St. Charles I was more than impressed with the subtle hospitality that was provided. They have been residences in the independent living program for 8 months now and seem as happy as ever. But there is something to say about my personal experience that I just couldn't keep to myself. First of all, the food is absolutely delicious. Brunch & dinner really hit the spot; a perfect match for my palette! Secondly, the laundry detergent reminded me of back at home.. On the way there my sister spilt a whole tub of mayo on my favourite shirt, and to my surprise the crew at the Manor were more than happy to take care of it for me. I wish I could've stayed longer Grandma and Grandpa, hopefully next time we'll have time to check out the surrounding area. It seems beautiful, and I promise to leave the mayo at home. Say hi to Britt for me! Till next time

So thankful to have my grandparents here. I’m able to have peace of mind knowing they’re well taken care of.

My dear cousin went into here for convalescent care after a hip surgery. She was only supposed to be here for a couple of weeks and then return to her condo, but somehow the people in here managed to get her held as incapable of caring for herself, etc. They put her through mental tests and tried their best to have her declared a danger to herself. The room was abhorrent, the care-workers were inattentive, and the place was one of the most depressing places I have ever been. My cousin's children and I had to work together to get her released from here. And we figured out why they wanted to hold her forever when we got the bill for her stay which suddenly became more than a month, they just wanted to drain her bank account. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Since there is only 3 reviews I thought I would add mine. I will agree with all reviews and heres why: my first few visits were met with a less than friendly welcome from staff. On initial intake my grandfather was in a very bad way after being evicted from his previous care home -that failed to tell us upon renting that their medical ward did not treat dementia patients. From the ER and traumatizing public althzimers care, st charles was (an expensive) dream come true. On the first few visits i was greeted coldly, if at all. The staff did not offer me or my family snacks as the food carts arrived (not even his wife who was visiting or my 7 year old child). They did not have a wheelchair for him and they could not tell us where his dentures or eyeglasses had gone. However as the weeks became months, both our welcome and my grandpas condition improved. I dealt with the same nurse almost always, and staff now knew of my grandpa when asked. Lets be frank: these are confused dying patients and St Charles is a medical facility. A cold exterior belies a warm heart from what I can say of this home. We are happy with the arrangement.

Thank you very much for your attention to my Grandmother. I could tell from speaking to her yesterday that her personality has returned. I received some pictures of her and the cake from your party yesterday and have already printed and placed them in my office for all to see. St Charles is the best place for her right now and again, Thank you. 104 years old WOW.
