The Willows at Brooking Park is a senior living community in Chesterfield with a lot to offer for people who want comfort and support all in one place, and there really is a wide mix of things to do and different types of care to match what people might need as they age. The community has apartments and villas in many floor plans, some pretty spacious, going from around 870 up to over 2,600 square feet, and they have large windows, full kitchens, and private bathrooms set up for seniors' safety. Residents live in a home-like setting, where staff help with everyday things like getting dressed, taking medication, bathing, and transferring from bed to chair or wheelchair, and help is available at all hours if needed. There's a special memory care area, short-term rehab, and skilled nursing services for people whose needs change, and the community works with doctors, therapists, and families to set up customized care plans, which helps folks feel secure as their health changes.
The place has a long list of activities, programs, and entertainment, and the "Centerstage" lifestyle program brings everyone together for music therapy, live performances, community outings, group games, arts and crafts, ice cream socials, social hours, and even pet therapy, which a lot of residents enjoy. They run movie nights, spiritual and recreational activities, and they have an activity calendar packed with options, including resident council meetings and club gatherings, so there's no shortage of things to do if folks want to keep busy. There are well-kept gardens, a sculpture garden, walking paths, and a courtyard, along with a creative arts studio and an indoor pool, fitness center, hot tub, and full-service spa, making it easy to stay active or relax in a comfortable spot. Inside, there's a beauty/barber salon, a library, a 165-seat theater, a wine cellar, an art gallery, restaurant-style dining, and a private dining room for special meals with friends and family, plus cable TV, Wi-Fi, personal phone lines, and individual climate control in each unit.
Meals are made for a range of needs, including choices for people with allergies, diabetes, or other diets, and all-day dining means people can eat when it suits them. Safety features are standard, like an emergency call alert system and wander-alert options, and the weekly housekeeping and laundry service make things a little easier. Residents can use community transportation for outings, activities, hospital appointments, and errands around Chesterfield, and there's heated underground parking on site. The Willows is associated with St. Andrew's Resources for Seniors System, a faith-based, not-for-profit group, so the focus is on care and wellness rather than profit. The place welcomes people from Missouri and states further away, and anyone who's interested in seeing it can set up a tour to get a feel for things in person, which a lot of people appreciate before they move.
