Independent living recommendation.

I feel many of these places are overpriced. However my mother is happy, comfortable and the Rockwood has provided her with a sense of community so that makes it worth the $.

The Rockwood is a historic building in Old Webster Groves, Missouri from the 1928 era and was renovated in 2007, however each year, our owners complete projects to keep current with seniors' wants and needs. Our staff has combined 50 years in senior care and senior living. We are not part of a national chain, we are privately owned by two partners.

The staff at The Rockwood are wonderful and for a small facility the activities are varied and fun. The chef is very good and tries new things. It is not a cheap facility and annual cost increases are something to watch. I strongly recommend The Rockwood to others.

Great Place

I am currently a resident at The Rockwood and everything has been great for me here so far. The staff is excellent. The meals are wonderful. Both the housekeeping and the maintenance are quite helpful. The other residents are extremely friendly, fun and loving. I would certainly recommend The Rockwood to others and give it the highest rating possible. It really is a great place!

We couldn't be happier.

The Rockwood couldn't be friendlier or more like home. More like living in a great old (historic) apartment than retirement home. Truly good food. Easy walking in a fabulous small town. We couldn't be more delighted.

Wish I Could Live There Myself

The Rockwood is the best urban senior living that I have seen. It's small and it's a little jewel in the middle of a gorgeous little town, that is very walkable. There are cafes, stores, and boutiques surrounding the community. The staff couldn't be nicer. It's a historic building, with beautiful touches like original woodwork and original tile floors. I can't rave enough about it!

Safe and Loving Home for Mom

My mom lived at the Rockwood for about 5 years. She settled in to her Rockwood apartment with her cat and she was very pleased with her beautiful, spacious, light filled new home. She thoroughly enjoyed the many activities and being able to dine daily with her new friends. Transportation to stores and the doctor was provided at no additional charge. The Rockwood is small so there was no getting lost in long hallways and every staff member and all the other residents knew her by name. It was a very loving and caring environment for her. The facility was warm and inviting and it felt more like home than other large and institutional type independent living facilities.

This community was okay , the size of the units and the environment was not what I was looking for for my loved one.

Not Safe/ Not Nutritious

The administrative staff refuses to get COVID vaccinations. There is a cook, not a chef, and the menu is high in sugar and very low in protein. Beef and pork are always too tough to chew. Much food is retuned uneaten. The concierges are excellent.

It is great to be home

At the moment there is no dining service, they are having to deliver food to our rooms and i would say the meals are good. However, we do get to go down and pick out what we want for breakfast. The location is fabulous. The apartments itself are really nice, its like living in a house maintenance free. The location is really the best, it is on the edge of a little town which is great for walkers and bikers.

Enjoyed touring The Rockwood

Enjoyed a tour of a beautiful, historic building. My mother loved the spacious rooms, big windows and hardwood floors. We talked to a couple of the residents who have lived there 3-5 years and they are happy. The residents like the fact that they can walk to a grocery, the bank and other shops, which my very active mother would enjoy. My mother is very discriminating, however this community is at the top of our list to consider.

Needs some updating.

The Rockwood is an older building and is not very attractive. They have recently completed some updating but it still doesn't have a welcoming feel. When we toured the community the residents did not seem to be very active and it was really quite. The staff that offered the tour were kind and able to address all of my concerns.

The Rockwood is in a great location

This community was slightly larger and a little more expensive than the community we choose. It seemed to be a little more upscale. The apartments are a little nicer and the building itself was gorgeous. The staff I met were nice and if this community was a little less expensive we may have chosen it.

In my VERY early research for retirement living, I toured The Rockwood 7 June 2016. The building was beautiful (I love old buildings) and fully modernized while the original woodwork, etc., remained in place. Eric was very helpful and answered all of my questions. The Rockwood has many good features (small size, Webster Groves location, independent living). However, as with most early 20th Century homes, the closets are TINY! Even in the two bedroom plans, we would need at least two chifferobes/cabinets for storage. Eric would really have to work with me to teach me how to downsize! Still, I could see us living here one day. Thank you, Eric, for the tour.

This place is beautiful but...

This place is beautiful but it is not a good fit for Grandmother. I didn't see any residents outside their apartments in the common areas. This was the only tour I have been on that I noticed no residents wandering about.

Not impressed

This was one of the locations we looked at while looking into senior living for a loved one. It was not one we were particularly impressed with. It was a smaller community, and we didn't see many residents around during the tour. It was also a bit further from family than we were wanting to look.

a fine residence

I am surprised and pleased at how well run the residence. My father is very happy, particularly with the meals. The staff is available, helpful, and courteous. The location is very favorable with many businesses in the immediate vicinity.
