Resident and Family Praise

“We knew when we walked in the door that Fairmont felt like the perfect ‘home’ for our mother… Everyone is so caring and in tune to the needs of each resident.”

— Family member, Fairmont on Clayton

“The care staff made Grammy feel like she was home. She has friends she can socialize with now. I wish I had known about them sooner.”

— Family member, Fairmont on Clayton

“Our mom spent the last 3 ½ years of her life in memory care at Fairmont. From the first day we walked in and were greeted by Theresia, the director, we knew this was the right choice. Fairmont felt warm and homey. The caregivers are not only highly trained in dementia care, but they also showed remarkable patience, empathy & respect for each of the residents. There was always a fun and thoughtful activity or excursion to keep the residents engaged.

We felt great trust in the nursing team and all the care givers. They kept us apprised of any changes, needs or concerns. Communication was outstanding. One of the most unexpected and beautiful aspects of our experience was how the staff became like family. They didn’t just care for our mom -they knew her stories, showered her with love and treated her with dignity every single day. Their warmth wasn’t just professional courtesy; it was deeply human.

Our family members visited several times a week, helped chaperone excursions and were very involved, thus firsthand knowledge of this special place and the staff. Thank you, Fairmont team -nurses, med techs, activity directors, care givers, concierges & all the others who make up the village. We are truly grateful.”

“I can’t say enough great things about the staff at the Fairmont in Clayton. My dad came in with a feeding tube, and in a wheelchair, needing a lot of help. The head caregiver and caregivers, as well as the dining room staff, with a lot of patience and care, were able to get him back to eating whole food again, after a small medical procedure. And the food there is great!

The head caregiver and head nurse gave me their cell numbers to text or call, and were always available day or night. I never worried about Dad being at the Fairmont, I knew he was always in great hands! Sadly, dad was only able to stay there for six months, due to his cancer. But they loved on him until his dying day. I would highly recommend the Fairmont for anyone looking for the best assisted living in St. Louis!”

“My mother, Mildred Schermer, thoroughly enjoyed her stay at the Fairmont. She had no complaints and the staff was wonderful. The facility was always kept very clean and the food was very good. And, as an added bonus, everyone including me, her daughter, enjoyed Bob the labradoodle. He could made anyone smile! Activities were great even though my mom didn’t participate too much. All in all, I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a place for their loved one.”

“We looked at about eight facilities in West St. Louis County, near our home. We chose the Fairmont and I was glad we did. My wife was in the Memory Care unit among experienced and loving staff who cared for her well. In the last months of her life, I moved in with her when a suitable space became available. I liked the food, loved the staff, and still visit them from time to time. The only reason I moved to an independent living facility west of St. Louis was to live close to one of our children. But for that, I’d still be at the Fairmont.”
