When my mother first moved in the food was good but it quickly went downhill- I was happy to see…read morebread for smoked salmon at Easter buffet but only had packets of strawberry cream cheese no regular and when I said something the person working said they were lucky they had that - yeah usually it's a plate of sliced smoked salmon with chopped onions and capers and hard boiled eggs but no bread to eat it on and no cream cheese. The actual brunch buffet had leftover dinner items that I have had before. For the amount of money they charge (they raised their rates in 22 due to gas prices going up?) the food has been okay at best and just bad most of the time - frozen vegetables, frozen entrees- no flavor - overcooked. Last night we waited over 30 minutes for my mother's burnt beef dish and my husband and I had dry salmon not served the way it was described with frozen vegetable mix and what tasted like a box rice mix - not the wild rice I had ordered. I would compare lunches to a bad Panera experience. The bright side - they get cookies on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons ! Yea! Cookies!

I would highly recommend staying far away from this facility. My 87-year old mother lived there for…read morethe past year, until July when she fell in her bathroom and broke her hip. She fell at 2am on a Sunday. The facility is supposed to check on their residents by 9 am. No one checked on my mother that day at all. Infuriating. I talk with mother usually every Sunday so when I didn't hear back from her by Monday morning, I called Crestview to do a wellness check. Tori said she went to check on mom and said that mom was just tired but okay. So it took me calling to get them to check on her. Turns out that later in the day, another gal named Lisa, found my mom at 3pm still lying on the bathroom floor, in pain. She called 911 and my mom was taken to the hospital - after lying on the floor for 37 hours. So much for good care. We found a new place for mom and when I went to clean our mom's apt at Crestview last week, the director Christina asked to speak to me. She denied that we had left her any voice messages and said she didn't receive any - from myself, my aunt and also mom's social worker. Christina insisted we give a written 30-day notice and that mom has to pay for September rent despite her move being involuntary, as she can no longer live independently. I asked Christina if there was any way we could reach an agreement since we are not a litigious family, but she was unwilling to budge at all. OH, P.S. The State of Missouri is now investigating them for the elder abuse.

Wonderful place! Bright and cheery. Very pleasant activities, including exercise class. My mom has…read morebeen here for three and a half years. Great staff and housekeepers and maintenance. We have used a few services that you pay for such as Senior Helpers when she had a wound that needed daily tending and that was very helpful and reassuring. Also the on-site salon for haircuts and pedicures is convenient. One huge downside to caution about is that meals are not served at all on Sunday nights. This has been burdensome for our family and other residents have grumbled about this repeatedly. They get used to not cooking and then there is no meal and families are not always able to help. So then it's cold leftovers or PBJ. But that is the only down side, other than that, it's a wonderful place and we would recommend it!

Between other family members I have probably been to at least two dozen area senior care centers (from alright to not acceptable). None of them come close to the care our mother has received here. I called many other facilities that had a continuum of care and they all said that our mother would be skilled nursing (because she requires help transferring and dressing) which would be $6,000+ per month for a shared one room. St. Agnes said they thought they could get her to improve and be more independent and they were right. Here she has her own studio apartment. They are genuinely concerned about all aspects (physical, mental and spiritual) of our mother's wellbeing. She has been here only a month and we have already seen a physical and mental improvement in her. The nuns are very compassionate and coordinate every aspect of her care.

We were lucky enough to be able to wait for a patio apt to become available, which for our 'Oma/Mom' made all the difference for her as she was a big time nature lover. The gardening is gorgeous. The STAFF IS AMAZING from Lisa in the front office to CNAs to nurses and house cleaning. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH NICE THINGS! They worked so hard to ensure that 'Mom' was not only well cared for, but loved!! And when the end came near, they so kindly worked with us during Mom's short time in hospice, we were able to keep her in her home until she passed. We will be FOREVER grateful to everyone at HP. We all actually MISS seeing everyone regularly, including other residents. They became friends. :-)

I got a chance to speak to some of the residents while assessing the facility & the community is beautiful! The facilities are in tip-top shape & the services provided are above average. The staff seem to be very friendly & in-tune with the residents. When I'm 85+ & still kickin', please send me here!

The staff was all engaged with their patients and dedicated to ensuring they experienced a pleasant stay. My wife and I had dinner and just happened to stop by to see the facility after hours and as we entered the lobby, there were employees leaving after a long day. We told them we were there doing a drive by and Alisa (social worker) immediately took her coat back off and gave us an impromptu tour. There were so many that helped us that it's hard to begin naming all but the entire staff helped us making it a pleasant stay. I'd highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for care. Phil
