Overall, my loved ones are thrilled with their new home. They ended up securing a single family house that is adjacent to the main property. Armour Oaks is understaffed, but they get the job done. The rehab/make ready was done on time and budget so they were able to move in as scheduled. My loved ones are very low maintenance and have not taken advantage of the amenities (food service, ride shares, community activities, etc.) offered at the facility so I can not speak to that side of the business. The overall value of this facility is exceptional.

The assisted living side of the facility seemed adequate but the skilled nursing side didn’t meet my expectations. Areas were somewhat dark, there were smells, and they did not have a dedicated rehab room so residents could only get therapy in their rooms.

Be Careful

Many of these reviews are nine and ten years old. This facility is unique in that residents of the Parks Building (independent living) help defray some of the expenses of the residents in the Legacy Building (assisted living). Administration needs improvement, particularly in living up to its stated goals. I would be wary of this place.

Showed up on time for a scheduled tour to view assisted living & it was a joke. They didn't have any pamphlets or handours to show me pricing & when we got to the dining area, he just walked past, pointed & said this is where they dine. He was rushing because he wasn't prepared to show a unit. The unit was not handicapped accessible. No handicapped bars in bathroom & had a stair to step up to get into the bathroom, not to mention a tub that you had to "high step" into. He!!, thats the kind of tub I have at home for a younger, healthier person. Armour Oaks has no shower at all or bench w/sliding door. Nothing was handicapped accessible for a senior. I saw not one handicapped assist rail in any part of the bathroom. It was like the apt was for a person that didn't need assistance at all. I just cut it short & told him bye. I would not send my loved one there.

Terrible Experience but Good Intentions

We had a terrible experience at Armour Oaks. Would not recommend it. They are understaffed, use floaters almost 80% of the time, so patients are mostly just "parked" and left (long term care). They truly did CARE and they TRIED, but they are clearly underfunded and just can't provide the type of care anyone would want for their parents.

Review for Armour Oaks

This is not a community where I would ever want to place my mother. On the other hand, the staff and residents are friendly and if cost is a consideration, this is worth considering. If anyone has extra needs like fall risk this is not the place to go.

We had a really good tour experience with Armour Oaks, all the staff were nice. The only issue was the cost was higher than some others we saw and I had a few concerns about the facility itself.

I went to a lot of tours and this was just as big as the other places. The staff were good but it was not suitable for our needs. It seemed like they had a lot of residents living there. On the tour the y could have vacuumed the carpet. It seemed like it needed t be cleaned a little more.

They were a lot different and so much bigger. They had one room available but needed an elevator to get to it. The room was a nice and very private but I thought this could be a challenge for my friend and may get lost. It is a nice facility and it looks clean. The guy who gave the tour was professional.

Called to put my mom on a waiting list for a room anywhere at armour oaks, marketing manager never called our family back after we called and left messages.

The marketing manager Dulles has never returned any phone call my family has made (5) calls! Very frustrating. Must go somewhere else for my mom now.

I liked how people sat in the hallway & front rooms to visit. Also, liked that medicine was dispensed. The location is great & just a few minutes from my home. Also, liked how there is assigned seating in the dining room & that something else could be ordered if they didn't like what was being served. I didn't like how smoking is allowed in designated areas of the facility. Also, might be a lot of waling & stairs depending on where your room was to get to the elevator. Didn't like how you had to step into the tub to take a shower. The doorways were too small to put a walker through them had to be turned to fit.

Great skilled nursing but they allow smoking in the assited living

There are several buildings and different types of care. My mom is in the skilled nursing. I love my dad's apartment and my mom's private room. The price is good and the care is great. They really care. I think they can take better care of the landscaping. They have beautiful landscaping but it takes keeping up. One thing that I think is abosolutely insane is in the assisted living they let people smoke on the ground level. I don't know how they get away with that but they say it's allowed by the state. I fee like there should be no smoking in any of the buildings.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Missouri regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Missouri regulations for Assisted Living.
