I am so glad I found Kingsland Walk! My mother was dubious about moving to St. Louis but is doing so well and enjoying it so much since moving in. Everyone from director Cindy on down is so friendly and caring towards the residents. My mom's apartment is very nice/roomy and affordable compared to other places and she's made friends. It's such a comfort to know she is happy and safe and close.

I absolutely love Kingsland Walk Senior Living. This has to be one of the best centers in Missouri. The director, Cindy, and the supervisors Tanika, Euro and all of the staff I have encountered for my family member have been exceptional! They are so caring from the front desk to the care providers to the cleaning staff, it is just exceptional care. The activities are really impressive and are tailored to independent, memory care and assisted living residents to ensure there are many opportunities to remain engaged! Taneka hosts birthday parties for residents and various events and the love she displays is incredible for residents. Cindy and her team have made the experience beyond incredible with so many new programs in place. Thank you for creating a special place we can call home!

What you see on their website is NOT what you get. They advertise restaurant style dining but only offer two meal choices at best and are often out of what they put on the menu for the day. They can’t keep cooks or servers to save their lives and the smell of marijuana often wafts into the dining room from the kitchen. Federal law mandates 2 RNs per shift but they have none. They can’t keep a PT to save their lives. Laundry often goes missing or they mix up the resident’s clothing. Meds are rarely on time and are sometimes missed entirely. This place is a joke. If you love your family, do NOT send them here. Editing to add: family member just had to order a vacuum cleaner from Amazon because housekeeping can’t be bothered to vacuum resident rooms. Culinary director had her family, including minors, working in kitchen and serving residents which is very against the law given that the adults may be food safe certified but the children literally cannot be. All of the food served is full of starch and sugars and not good for the elderly or people with diabetes, especially when such meds aren’t administered on time. Whomever is in charge of making sure residents have a ride to appointments does a terrible job and my family member has had to cancel doctor appointments due to transportation issues. I don’t understand how the state hasn’t shut this place down.
