Physical, occupational and speech therapy without another trip.
Seven and a half acres of paths, flower borders and resident garden plots.
Live music, bingo, trivia, outings and the on-site beauty and barber shop.
Apartments
Start with the two apartment styles most families ask about. Availability changes, so the fastest way to know what is open this week is to ask.
What is happening
Autumn Ridge's published schedule includes bingo, trivia, crafts, fitness, live entertainment, and outings that leave the building. The Events page reads the current approved schedule rather than relying on dates typed into the website.
Veterans and surviving spouses
We are proud to care for veterans, and we help residents and their families apply for the VA's Aid and Attendance benefit. It is an addition to a VA pension for people who need help with daily living, and it goes uncollected far more often than it should.
Getting here
300 Autumn Ridge Drive, Herculaneum, MO 63048. We are a few minutes from restaurants, pharmacies and shopping in Jefferson County, and a straight run up I-55 into south St. Louis when the family is coming to visit.
The Activity Schedule shows the current published resident calendar and identifies any event explicitly open to the public.
A simpler next step
Tour the community, meet the people who make it special, or call us with a question. We will help you take the next step at the pace that feels right.
My mother needs help with her medications. Is that something you do?
Yes. That falls under our Residential Care level, which is state licensed and includes medication management along with 24-hour associates on site. Would it help if I walked you through what changes between Independent Living and Residential Care?
Yes, and what does it cost?
A real exchange pattern. Ask your own above.
