About Gardens at Ocotillo Senior Living

ADHS licenses the center as an Assisted Living Center-Directed, meaning it may serve residents at the directed care level, the highest of the three ADHS assisted living care levels, as well as personal and supervisory care. State records break out capacity by service type: directed care services for up to 24 residents, personal care services for up to 66 residents, and supervisory care services, within an overall licensed capacity of 90.

The community's site lists 24 hour staffing, a 24 hour emergency response system, telehealth, and Legacy Healthcare Services as its in-house therapy provider. For memory care, the company says its care team uses the St. Louis University Mental Status Exam (SLUMS) as a cognitive screening tool.

Ask who works at night and how long the caregivers have been there. You cannot tell that from a photo, so ask in person.
