Sylvan House

Sylvan House sits at 30 Sherman Ave in Saint Louis, MO, and is a small, family-owned senior living community in a regular house where fewer than ten residents live together, so it feels like a home. The facility works as an independent living setting but also covers a range of care types like assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, hospice care, nursing home care, and respite care for those who only need support for a short time, and it can go by several names depending on the state, like Adult Foster Home, Personal Care Home, or Assisted Living Home, since those terms can all mean a place smaller and more personal than a big facility. Staff help residents with daily things such as getting dressed, bathing, and managing medicine, and they're there to help around the clock, so someone's always ready for emergencies or when residents need help with moving around, even going from bed to wheelchair. Those with diabetes can get insulin monitoring help, and people who need incontinence or non-ambulatory care have support as well. Memory care includes 24-hour supervision and activities that build memory and allow safe social time. Residents eat group meals every day, and there's always something to do with on-site and off-site activities meant to help people stay active in their bodies, minds, and social lives, plus there are devotional activities for those who want spiritual support. Housekeeping and meal services mean residents don't need to worry about cooking or cleaning much, and the staff are ready to personalize care to fit each resident, whether they're staying for a while or only a week or two. Sylvan House only has common indoor spaces for gathering, and there aren't any listed outdoor features, but there should be some sort of parking or garage for residents or visitors even though the details aren't clear. The house runs as a rental apartment but is off the market right now, and there aren't details about what's included in the rent or about pets. The region has local protections for LGBTQ residents regarding housing and work, so people should know the law supports them. People living at Sylvan House can get support at whatever level they need, and even though there aren't fancy unique names for parts of the building, the care types do cover those different needs so each person gets what fits.
