Stillwater Senior Living Celebrates 10th Anniversary of Exceptional Care and Community
Stillwater Senior Living is proud to announce the celebration of its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of dedicated service to residents and their families. Over the past ten years, Stillwater has grown into a thriving senior living community, embodying its mission to provide compassionate, personalized care and a warm, engaging environments for all who call it home.
“Reaching our 10-year milestone is a testament to the strength of our community and the trust families place in us,” said, Emily Bruegge-Klein, Executive Director. “We’re honored to have been a part of so many lives over the years and are excited to continue building a legacy of excellence in senior care.”
“This project has really been a labor of love. Taking care of our Seniors is a complex process, but it is such an honor to do so. Even with all the obstacles we have run into over the years with COVID, labor shortages and inflation, I would not hesitate to do it again in a heartbeat.” Kathy Long, President.
A Decade of Growth
Since opening its doors in 2015, Stillwater Senior Living has continuously evolved to meet the needs of its residents. In January of 2018, more 16 Assisted Living apartments were added, and a Memory neighborhood/wing was added that included an additional 18 apartments due to a growing waitlist and the need for our families, as well as the community. Construction and an investment of $5.3 million was completed March 2020. During the pandemic, Stillwater Senior Living was able to double in size with residency and staffing and went over 300+ days with 0 cases of Covid. The community still maintains an active waitlist and a consistent 100% occupancy. From the introduction of state-of-the-art amenities to expanding services like memory care and enrichment programs, Stillwater has grown not only size, but in reputation. This growth reflects a commitment to fostering a supportive environment where seniors can thrive physically, emotionally, and socially.
A Community Focused on Residents and Families
At the heart of Stillwater’s success is its dedication to creating a true sense of community. Residents enjoy tailored care plans, diverse activities, and opportunities to connect with one another. Families find peace of mind knowing their loved ones are surrounded by compassionate staff and a network of support.
The Memory Care Neighborhood, a cornerstone of Stillwater’s offerings, has been particularly impactful. By providing specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, Stillwater has become a trusted resource for families navigating these challenges.
Looking Ahead
As Stillwater Senior Living looks to the future, plans are underway to further enhance the resident experience. Upcoming initiatives include fostering relationships with local schools and universities to provide real-world experience in helping the ever-growing senior population. Currently the Stillwater team and seniors work with the SIUE School of Nursing, Collinsville Vocational students, and Alton High School. These efforts will ensure Stillwater remains at the forefront of senior care for years to come.
