Mom was a registered nurse until she retired at the ripe old age of 83 and the last 30+ years of her career was spent in nursing homes and care facilities, so she knew what she wanted in one for herself. While Mom was at Southview, she was well taken care of, and despite having a difficult personality (to say the least...), the staff was always friendly and accommodating whenever I came to visit and as I watched my mom interact with them. The facility was clean, attractive, and updated. It is a smaller facility, which is what my mom wanted, and there were many activities available. My mom's space was perfect for her while she was a resident there.

This is the second review I have posted in re to this facility. The first one was two weeks ago when I posted a one star, due to having a loved one in the Memory Care unit,and in a year,especially the last few months saw it seriously decline,and was witness to some disturbing incidences,and lack of any kind of sense. I am now giving three stars due to how quickly and efficiently they responded,and took action. Clearly they pay attention to reviews. Two days after posting my initial review,this unit had done a 180° ! Employees who were problematic had been let go,the staff was working as a diligent team,treating eachother and residents with help and kindness without bickering or complaining,tasks getting done in a routine manner,and more managers present. I emailed them to let them know how impressed I was with what I saw and then had a terrific conversation with the overall director . She took no sides,just addressed and took action professionally. It has been so different visiting my "Nona" this last 4 visits,and I give kudos to them for their attention to addressing their problems .

I would give six stars if I could. We were very anxious about having to put our 90 year old mother…read moreinto assisted living. 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.

Many staff members were great but others could have cared less....When I witnessed a mostly naked woman in a walker coming down the hall asking about dinner and no one doing anything to help her was sickening. I actually covered her up and helped her walk and sit down. Another man was in shorts and T-Shirt and was freezing. Gave him some clothes and he was so thankful.

They make all the residents come out of their rooms to the main area where they can just babysit them while talking on their phones. PLEASE don't fall for their fake presentation on tours.

i want to report an abusive situation at Michael House, the memory care unit of Mother of Perpetual…read moreHelp in St. Louis. On 7/11/25, my aunt fell due to a broken femur. It is unclear exactly when the break occurred, but surgeon believes it was around 7/9/25. The nurse, Pamela Wisnewski, filed an incident report stating "Staff was nearby, reported resident was witnessed ambulating started shaking, threw herself on the floor. No apparent injuries." As POA, I was not alerted, instead my brother was called & told there was no injury. He went to facility the next day & noted my aunt's leg was turned at a 45 degree angle & she had a large hematoma on her hip. He had her sent to hospital where it was determined she had broken her femur at the neck. When I called that day to get more information for the hospital about the incident, another Michael House nurse, Vidya Boodram, stated "I have other patients to deal with. I have another job besides this one & I am tired. I'll have to call you back another time." When no call came, I called her supervisor, Ms. Wisnewski. She claimed that my aunt had "thrown herself on the ground" several times that week. Yet, we were never told & no one investigated why she was falling. It fits with her femur being broken & not being able to put weight on that leg. A couple days later, Ms. Wisnewski called to ask how my aunt was doing. I told her she had to have hip replacement surgery. She acted surprised & said, "well, at least she lived through the surgery"! This is clearly inattention to a critical medical situation. My aunt fell to the ground because she couldn't stand with a broken femur. No one bothered to notice her leg being at an unnatural 45 degree angle or the large protrusion at her hip. The incredible lack of empathy exhibited by Ms. Boodram and, subsequently, by Ms. Wisnewski is appalling for a medical professional dealing with the elderly.

They worked so hard to ensure that 'Mom' was not only well cared for, but loved!!

During My…read moreShift The Night Supervisor Came to be Demanding me to Give A resident a pill now because she had family calling her . Instead of responding to her aggressiveness and rudeness, w/ rudeness in return Instantly stopped what I was doing and did what she asked.(The aide then came to me and said that the resident had told her that she had been asking for a pain pill since 9pm) my shift didn't start officially until 10:30 pm and nobody notified or reported it to me until the aide did . 7 minutes before the supervisor came to me with demands.) A hour 30 minutes passed and this supervisor came back stating that she was sending me home and she talked to administration already. I asked to speak with the Adon, Don & Administration. She told me no and that she wouldnt be calling anyone. I told her I had every right and she couldn't deny me going through the chain of command when I did nothing wrong. I said I Would like to talk to the DOn and finally she said okay we can. We were suppose to count and she stepped away to have a private conversation with the DON to get her to back her up. I was looking for her and listened to their conversation when I Realized what she was doing, she then came and told me after I Sat down that the DON stated she wasn't talking To Me , there was nothing to talk about and she was backing up her supervisor. I asked to talk to the administrator, she told me no again and I explained to her that I drove 3 hours to come help to get treated like dog crap for doing nothing. I found the administrators number . She was rude. She Let me start to explain and then mid sentence stopped me and stated it was 2 so in the morning why was I calling her basically and that's how i felt being 3 hours from home being picked on and no where to go . I explained everything and she literally gave no care in the world. Was only worried about her sleep when i would have to sleep in my car. I Asked her did it not matter that staff was there and witnessed it. She said if the supervisor unassigned me then she would just leave for now because she's not there. She then immediately called to discuss how I called her at 2 in the morning. The supervisor stated again she told me that I couldn't talk to her until the morning and that she told me to call tomorrow but she guess i still decided to call after she had it handled already. DOING A URGENT MATTER THOUGH. She told me she was sending me home because I ignored her. Her exact words. Even though I immediately followed the order given. Her Pride allowed her to be a bully. During A URGENT MATTER. I did count and during so, The supervisor susan then implied that i stole a whole card even though stating the count was correct. All because their in house staff failed their duty to archive the card once it zeroed out and left the count, which could have easily been done because it automatically populates. She called her friend the DON and tried to tell her she didn't want to subtract the card because even though the count was correct, she didnt have the empty card. Thankfully the DON instructed her to subtract it due to the count being correct. I will be calling corporate and filing a complaint on Jeanna , Susan and Becky. Agency shouldn't be treated like garbage just because we're not on their payroll. You couldn't depend on your staff and i left the comfort of my home 3 hours away to assist. I have never been treated so poorly. They are unprofessional, inconsiderate, Rude & Selfish. All about themselves . NO COMPASSION. You have To Lead by example and they don't demonstrate characteristics of a leader. Every building I go to calls me when needed because I'm Dependable, compassionate and a hard worker. I don't Appreciate how I was treated. They also didn't cancel my shift. They're trying to avoid paying me my 4 hours for canceling my shift. I recorded a video of them making me leave after 0300 AM so they couldnt say I left prior. We had to do count she made calls during so. Which would still put me at 7. I'm about to start recording all conversations.

This facility is a total failure, is broken and needs a major overhaul in both senior management and care takers. My mother was pushed down TWICE by other residents resulting in a broken femur the first time, and a head contusion the second time. This place is complete rhetoric, and a failure their senior management is a joke, the administrator, the social worker, the nurse manager, all incompetents. The Deacon that Catholic Charities employs for this campus is also their legal counsel is rude, arrogant and should be visiting his residents weekly if not daily basis, but sits in his office on Lindell Blvd all day, doing nothing and has accused me being a manipulator.

This is unacceptable. I work for a non profit, and can tell you this is not a non profit despite what they claim to be, its a money grab at the cost of their resident's health.
