St. Agnes Apartments sits at 2840 Wisconsin Ave in Saint Louis, MO, where the old school building's been renovated to blend historic charm with newer features, and it's connected with Cardinal Ritter Senior Service, so residents see some services tailored for older adults. The building mainly offers one-bedroom apartments-75 units in all-designed for people 62 and older, and it does have accessible features for seniors, like safety bars in bathrooms and emergency pull-cord systems in bedrooms and bathrooms, so folks can feel a bit safer in case of a fall or emergency, and with fully equipped kitchens, individually controlled heating and cooling, as well as carpeting and window treatments, people can stay comfortable all year. Some rents include utilities, but cable, phone, and internet usually cost extra, and high-speed internet's available for those who want it. There's secure entry and private parking, plus pet-friendly rules for those who want a companion animal, a fitness center, a community garden to enjoy, a neighborhood network computer center for browsing or emailing, and a multipurpose activity room where residents can gather.
Maintenance is available around the clock, and the Social Services department helps out with counseling, emergency assistance, and programs like the Foster Grandparent senior employment, so residents often feel supported if they're going through something tough. St. Agnes offers on-site laundry, accessible transportation, religious services, meal delivery options like Meals on Wheels, a service coordinator program, homemaker and personal care services, and social and recreational activities for those who like to stay busy. Past inspections show a decent track record, with recent scores of 84 and 85 that pass HUD standards, though they're about a point and a half below the Missouri average, so it's not perfect, but the facility does stay up to code and takes care of the basics most folks expect. There's a Catholic Charities polling place on site for voting, and the location works for people who want access to community support and a bit of peace and quiet.
