Promenade Senior Living in Richmond Heights, MO

We were impressed with everything. My mother in law felt the menu options were limited, but I think at the time, occupancy was low, so that may have affected it. I can't really say about activities, because she wasn't there for very long until she had to be moved to skilled nursing.
