Overview of Delmar Gardens of O’fallon

Delmar Gardens West operates a large 321-bed nursing campus on South Outer 40 Road in Town and Country, Missouri, under the direction of Richard Taylor and Delmar Gardens West Operating, LLC. Financial setups are straightforward, with the office taking payment through Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. If you check out the local neighborhood, the walkability score sits at a very low 3 out of 100, meaning families visiting the site will find a car necessary for all trips and errands.

The facility focuses heavily on short-term recovery, which shows in their average length of stay of just 26 days for the 189 residents currently living there. Because patients cycle through quickly after hospital visits, the daily schedule is geared toward intensive therapy rather than permanent placement. To back this up, the nursing staff provides an average of 4 hours and 21 minutes of daily care per resident, dividing the workload between registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides to maintain steady medical oversight.

State files show that the building maintains an excellent regulatory track record with local health departments. Recent licensing surveys and safety checks came back clear, which keeps the property’s cumulative citations-per-inspection rate at zero.

Prospective representatives will find a clinical setup featuring an on-staff physician, physical, occupational, and speech therapy programs, and short-term respite care. Accommodations include private or semi-private rooms built with safety grab bars and emergency call systems, plus communal features like a beauty salon, main dining area, and recreational lounges.

Overview of Living Community of St Joseph

Living Community of St Joseph offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, respite care, and skilled nursing in Saint Joseph, MO. Nursing home and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, assisted living provides help with daily tasks, independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, and respite care provides a short stay. Several care levels within one community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The community has 131 beds. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours 8 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time assigned to each resident. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab are available for residents who need a time-limited recovery stay.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare can apply to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means the family pays directly. Pets are allowed, so residents may keep pets in the community.

A Walk Score of 76 places the area in the very walkable range, with most errands possible on foot; shops, a pharmacy, or cafes may be reachable by walking for a resident who no longer drives. Katie Johnson serves as the administrator.

The Summit

3660 Summit, Kansas City, MO 64111-4632
Overview of The Summit

Wyndhurst SNF Holdings LLC runs The Summit, a 50-bed nursing home on Enterprise Drive in Lynchburg, Virginia. The facility handles billing through the usual channels, including private pay, Medicaid, and Medicare. For family members planning visits, the local area has a walkability score of 56 out of 100, meaning you can handle a few small errands on foot, but having a car is still your best bet for getting around.

The three-story building stays about 84 percent full, and residents stay here for an average of 59 days. This shorter timeframe indicates the daily routine is geared toward short-term rehab and getting people back on their feet after a hospital stay, rather than long-term residential care. To keep up with daily medical treatments, the 24-hour nursing schedule averages 3 hours and 24 minutes of total care per resident each day, split among registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides.

State health department inspectors keep regular logs of how the facility matches up with safety codes. Over the last seven years, routine surveys have focused on tightening up medication handling and infection control practices, though a recent complaint investigation wrapped up with zero substantiated violations.

Families can check out the layout in person, which features both one- and two-bedroom options alongside dedicated therapy spaces. The everyday routine pairs these physical rehab programs with social activities, shared dining halls, and general housekeeping managed by the building staff. Anyone looking into care choices can call the admissions desk directly to check current availability or set up an in-person tour.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Missouri

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Missouri?

Assisted living in Missouri supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Missouri?

Assisted living in Missouri is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Missouri Medicaid cover assisted living?

Missouri Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Missouri) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 268 assisted living facilities in Missouri. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Missouri?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Missouri, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Missouri?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
