At Cottages of Lake St Louis, our mission is to create warm and loving homes where Elders can lead fulfilling lives, supported by exceptional care, choice, and positive relationships. The community is made up of small, intimate 10-person households. Equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, top-notch rehabilitation facilities, and a consistent and friendly team of caregivers.
Unlike traditional care facilities, our Elders are in control of their schedules. They decide how they want to spend their days rather than following a fixed calendar. Our dedicated caregivers forge meaningful connections with the residents, fostering a deep sense of familiarity and understanding.
We strive to promote independence among our Elders, allowing them to pursue their interests and passions.

The Cottages of Lake St Louis staffing ratios are carefully maintained to ensure maximum interaction and comprehensive care for each Elder.

Additionally, our multi-disciplinary team includes social workers, therapists, physicians, activity coordinators, and dietary professionals. All working together to support the well-being of our Elders.
At Cottages of Lake St. Louis, our residents are not just individuals receiving care; they become cherished members of our family, embraced for who they are.
Skilled Nursing
A Skilled Nursing Community offers the highest level of care for older adults and individuals recovering from injuries or illnesses outside of a hospital setting. Within these communities, both skilled and custodial levels of care are provided. Skilled Nursing care is typically short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, often covered by insurance. On the other hand, custodial care offers long-term housing and care, usually funded privately or through long-term care insurance. Each patient’s care is supervised by a licensed physician, and a dedicated nursing team is available 24 hours a day. We welcome Medicare, private payments, and work with various private insurance carriers to provide comprehensive care options.
One key distinction between Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living is the presence of licensed nurses on-site. Skilled Nursing facilities have licensed nurses providing direct care to residents around the clock. Whereas Assisted Living communities are only required to have licensed nurses on-site for a limited number of hours per week based on resident numbers.
Although the Cottages of Lake St. Louis are designed to resemble the cozy style of single-family homes found in the neighboring communities. It is essential to note that our community is licensed for skilled nursing services. This designation means that we adhere to rigorous regulations, undergo regular inspections, and receive reimbursements similar to other skilled nursing homes.
