Fields of Florissant
At 1101 Garden Plaza Drive in Florissant, Fields of Florissant operates a 102-bed multi-level-of-care community encompassing nursing home, independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The 3-story building contains studio through 2-bedroom units and is run by Willow Ridge Senior Living-Florissant LLC, administered by Ms Kari Lenz. Occupancy sits at 64%. The neighborhood is car-dependent (Walk Score 17), positioned 1.1 miles from Florissant’s city center; transport is necessary for most errands and services.
The operational model includes on-site rehabilitation, chef-prepared meals, weekly housekeeping, activity programming, community spaces, transportation access, beauty services, and pet-friendly residency. Missouri Medicaid waivers apply for eligible nursing home and dementia care residents; Medicare Savings Program coverage is available; private payment is accepted.
Over eight years, Fields of Florissant has been inspected 14 times; exactly double the Missouri state average of 7 inspections. The facility’s deficiency rate per inspection is 3.6, which is 28% lower than the state average of 5, suggesting that when violations occur, they’re less concentrated than typical. But the annual deficiency volume of 6.3 per year exceeds the state average of 4.4 by 43%, meaning the cumulative violation load across all inspections runs elevated. Translation: this facility gets inspected more often than most Missouri nursing homes, and when summed across those inspections, citation counts run above average even though individual inspection sessions show lower violation density.
What this characterizes is a facility under elevated regulatory attention with mixed compliance results; more frequent scrutiny and higher overall violation counts, but violations per inspection cycle running below average.
