CAPE ALBEON

My Aunt spent over 4 years at Cape Albeon in Assisted Living and the staff was fantastic. Lisa Gilbreth and her caring team did a wonderful job taking care of my Aunt who passed at 100 years old. We could not be happier with the services they provided!

If you visited Google to read a review about Cape Albeon then please read this one to the end. Cape Albeon actually speaks for itself. However, I would like to share our experience. My mother lived in the area that they call The Village which is the assisted living part of this wonderful community. No one likes to see their loved one leave their home that they have lived in for over half a century but sometimes in life it becomes necessary. I was worried because it is like picking a doctor out of the phone book so I started talking to nurses, therapists and social workers. Any time they were familiar with Cape Albeon their positive opinion always came with a smile. One Physical Therapist I know personally said that Cape Albeon is unbelievable and she would put her mother there if the day came that it was necessary. I visited Cape Albeon to get a feel of the facility; better yet let's call it a home. I realize that when you visit places such as this that everyone puts on their best face. It seemed nice, the studio apartment was precious and the people very welcoming. We moved Mom in and of course it is normal that at the beginning she missed living at her own home. She physically needed some help and couldn't be left to live alone. To my surprise she adjusted quickly and started calling Cape Albeon HOME. Remember, I said that when visiting places like this that everyone always puts on their best face? Well, at Cape Albeon those faces are real. The people are real and caring. The nurses, administrators, CNA and Med Techs are phenomenal and they did not take very long to become family. The residents do not just eat and sleep, they get involved. My mother loved talking to Sweetie Baby, the resident bird, who she could always get to talk back to her. She named the fish in the big beautiful tank that she passed on the way to her meals. She learned to paint and she got to play Jackpot Bingo of which I received regular excited phone calls telling me about her winnings. She took scenic drives most weeks and I would hear about all of the beautiful places she saw from the window of her bus and how there were areas she lived near most of her life but didn't even know they existed. Mom loved sitting in the sunny garden and looking at the beautiful flowers and the cardinals that visited. When raining, she could still see the beauty from her window. I know that this is a lengthy review and for those of you that made it this far thank you. I could keep writing and writing but I do want you to know. I feel like Cape Albeon and their staff added years to my Moms life. I thank them and I can only pray if in the future I need some place like my Mom did that Cape Albeon will be there for me. Like I said, Cape Albeon speaks for itself. With Love and Thanks, Daughter Diana Diana

I call bingo at this lovely community. The residents I talk to say they love it there. They say it's clean, the food is great , the Happy Hours and entertainment are so much fun. The grounds and lakes make this place a resort. No-one feels lonely living at Cape Albeon. My brother came in from Florida to stay during Hurricane Irma and was so impressed with the accommodations. Its surely located in a great area too, close to highways and plenty of shopping and restaurant's. I look forward to living at Cape Albeon someday. The Cottages are so cute.The friendly staff and happy residents make it feel like a home away from home. What's not to like about this hidden gem in southwest St Louis county.

What's not to like? Cape Albeon has been my home for almost two years. I have found it to be a very comfortable place to live. The Cape is clean and inviting. The residents are friendly and sociable and I have made many new friends. I take great pleasure in having my family visit me here. We often share a meal in the dining room where the food is outstanding and the service is great! The grounds at Cape are beautifully maintained and the views are lovely in every season. The open space and lakes are delightful additions to the beauty of the property. I am pleased to call this place my home.

My husband and I moved into our cottage 11 years ago. Cape Albeon has very pleasant surroundings, our cottage has a wonderful lake view. I like to sit outside and watch the birds, etc. My husband would ask when it was time to go home, as if we were on vacation. Maintenance, housekeeping, meals, trips and activities are wonderful. The empolyees are all very accommodating and respond to requests within 24 hours. The upkeep is tremendous from the exterior to the interior. On a few occasions I unfortunately found it necessary to need extra care. I was able to use the free annual respite stay at the assisted living following a hospital stay. It was very helpful to myself and my family who lives out of town, it put their mind at peace.
