Larry Armisted is more than just a maintenance coordinator, he truly cares about all the residents. He’s always so patient and kind when doing all the repairs and takes time to chat with the residents and to make sure that they are safe. Thank you Larry.

Great staff, including patient care givers, dining room staff, nursing and executive directors. Beautiful place. At times understaffed, which is my only complaint, but the staff they do have are wonderful. My mother has been there 8 months and I strongly recommend Sunrise Des Peres.

ATTENTION MUSICIANS!!! Do not book gigs for this place. My husband was never paid for his gig and we are having to file a small claims case. We gave them multiple opportunities to make it right to no avail. Activity and volunteer coordinator name is Kathleen and she won't contact you back when you try to get paid. DO NOT BOOK A GIG HERE, YOU WILL NOT GET PAID.

As a third-party medical professional who visits this facility regularly, I have nothing but positive things to say about the care and environment provided here. I have personally witnessed the Director of Nursing, Terri, take the time to sit with patients and offer genuine comfort and compassion. Ty, one of the patient care managers, consistently goes above and beyond, taking the time to pay attention to each resident individually and ensure their specific needs are met. Drea demonstrates a high level of professionalism, manages medication administration with accuracy, and is deeply attentive to patient comfort. Shawna, the facility nurse, is not only incredibly thorough—carefully reviewing all notes from physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers to stay fully informed—but also consistently compassionate in her care and interactions with residents. The team’s dedication to their residents is evident in both their quality of care and their strong communication. In addition, the facility itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and offers a wide variety of engaging activities for residents. Overall, this is a place where patients are truly cared for, and it shows in every aspect of the environment and staff.
