As a nursing home facility, Pilgrim Place Health Services Center aims to provide comprehensive care tailored to the needs of older adults who require either short-term rehabilitation or long-term care. The facility is focused on offering a holistic approach, which encompasses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of patient care.

Pilgrim Place is associated with Saint Louis University Hospital, which indicates potential access to extensive medical expertise and resources. However, reviews suggest there are challenges in communication and coordination regarding medical care, particularly with delays in diagnostic testing and access to physicians. Despite these issues, some reviews highlight the cleanliness of the facility and note that residents who can effectively advocate for themselves or with the help of family may experience a more satisfactory level of care.
In addition to medical and rehabilitative services, the facility offers activities such as yoga, aiming to enhance residents' overall well-being and provide opportunities for relaxation and exercise. While some residents and visitors appreciate the welcoming environment, including the gardens and dedicated activities, there are concerns about healthcare management, particularly regarding medication administration and patient monitoring. This mixed feedback suggests that while Pilgrim Place provides valuable services and amenities, there are operational areas needing attention to better meet the needs of all residents, particularly those without active family involvement.
