Villa Rose Senior Living Community

About Us

Villa Rose offers some of the best in Senior Living in the river bend area. Conveniently located between Edwardsville and Alton, Illinois, Villa Rose is just 25 minutes from downtown St. Louis by way of the 255 extension.

Villa Rose is unique! We are an independent living community that allows seniors to remain as independent as possible while offering them the resources they may need to do just that. What makes us different? We have supportive services available, but you don’t pay for them unless you need them or until you need them. Why should you pay for services you aren’t using? That’s just one of the ways that we’re able to offer the best value in retirement living in the St. Louis region.

At Villa Rose, you have your own private senior apartment with your own furnishings, and you come and go as you please. Yet, with your rent on your apartment, you receive all the benefits that come with living in our secure retirement community, including three meals-a-day, 24-hour emergency response, activities and entertainment, just to name a few. If the day comes that you need assistance—such as help with your medications, bathing or dressing, or getting to and from meals—it’s here. If you need help, even temporarily, you can contract with the on-site private-duty home care service and receive appropriate assistance to keep you as independent as possible, for as long as possible.

We understand that the decision to move to a senior community is one that requires some thought and planning. We encourage you to research your options. Whether you are looking at Assisted Living, Supportive Living, or Independent Living, we welcome you to learn about Villa Rose. We appreciate your interest in our community and hope you find answers here that will make your decision a little easier.

Please call 377-3239 with questions, to schedule a tour or join us for a meal. Thank you for your interest, we hope to see you soon!

Testimonials

Resident Testimonials:

“I walked in the front door of Villa Rose and knew this is where I wanted to be. I went back to visit friends in Casey, and had a wonderful visit. But after three days, I was ready to come back home to Villa Rose.”

“It’s really comfortable at Villa Rose. I’ve made friends that I enjoy. It’s home… more like where I lived before than I ever thought it would be.”

“I get along really well at Villa Rose; it was a good move for me. I enjoy attending the parties, playing bingo and playing Wii bowling. I think it’s important to have something to do—to keep busy.”

“Moving to Villa Rose has made me very happy. I love it, and I’m so at home here. I’m not lonely anymore.”

“If your children think you need some assistance, it might be time to make a move. At Villa Rose, you have everything you need: services, convenience, and friendship. It’s like living on a cruise ship! My kids and I are glad I chose to make Villa Rose my home.”

“My wife and I came to Villa Rose about three years ago. I wanted to get away from all the chores at home, especially the cooking. I’m glad to have three meals-a-day that I don’t have to fix.”

Resident’s Families Testimonials:

“I am very impressed with the care and concern of the staff, the appearance of the facility, the activities provided and the restaurant-like setting of the dining room. My parents think living at Villa Rose is like being on vacation.”

“Please pass on to all of your staff that Dad goes on and on about how nice everyone is and how helpful everyone is at Villa Rose. I greatly appreciate you and your staff also.  This has been such a major change in Dad’s life with Mom passing away and moving out of his home of 42 years and thru the kindness and friendliness of everyone at Villa Rose, Dad has made the transition much better than I would have ever thought.”

“Just wanted you to know that you and your staff truly do such a wonderful job helping the residents feel ‘at home’ and cared about. I am so thankful that my dad is at Villa Rose! Thank you for all that you do.”

Staff Testimonials:

“I’ve been here for over thirty years, and we’ve always had an exceptional, dedicated staff. In fact, I would say that our caring staff is what sets us apart. All get to know the residents very well.”

“I’ve worked (for BJC) at Villa Rose for over 13 years, and I’ve met a lot of wonderful, wise people. This is not just a job, the residents and staff care about each other…we’re a family.”
