Mother of Good Counsel Home

6825 Natural Bridge Rd, Saint Louis, MO 63121-5314
Overview of Mother of Good Counsel Home

Mother of Good Counsel Home is a 114-bed skilled nursing facility located at 6825 Natural Bridge Road, Saint Louis County, Missouri, operated and administered by Nicole Belongea. The facility has served the Saint Louis community since 1932 as a Catholic skilled nursing and memory care provider with emphasis on spiritual life alongside clinical care. It operates 24 hours daily and maintains 24-hour on-site staffing.

The facility’s Catholic identity is central to its mission. Weekday Masses are celebrated on campus, with sacraments, spiritual opportunities, and volunteer programming available. Families and visitors are welcome at all times. The community calendar includes potluck dinners, special events, and activities supporting resident engagement.

Skilled nursing care, memory care services, and rehabilitation therapies are listed. The walk score of 20 indicates the facility is car-dependent; most off-campus errands and activities require transportation.

The facility accepts Missouri Medicaid programs, including the Aged and Disabled Waiver, Missouri Supplemental Nursing Care, Structured Family Caregiving Waiver, MO HealthNet Aged Blind and Disabled, and Medicare Savings Program. Veterans may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance benefits. This payment structure makes the facility accessible to residents with limited financial resources.

The facility’s regulatory record shows zero total inspections recorded, compared to a Missouri state average of seven for comparable skilled nursing facilities. This unusually sparse inspection history requires explanation. Families must request and review the facility’s current licensing status, any available inspection records from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, and written explanation for the absence of routine regulatory oversight documentation.

Families should verify staffing credentials, CMS ratings, license and inspection reports, rehabilitation and memory care protocols; and fall prevention and incident tracking procedures.

Overview of Dolan Memory Care at Calais

Dolan Memory Care at Calais is a 44-bed assisted living facility with specialized memory care at 1225 Tennant Road, Saint Louis, Saint Louis County, Missouri. Kendra Shelton administers the facility, operated by Cura, Inc. The facility focuses on person-centered care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

An important operational constraint: Dolan Memory Care does not accept Medicare or Medicaid, accepting only private-pay residents. This significantly limits access to families without independent financial resources. The facility maintains a physician on staff and provides 24-hour staffing, positioning it as a more medically-oriented memory care community than typical assisted living. Rehabilitation services and respite care are available.

The facility offers family-style dining and emphasizes family support alongside person-centered care. Fifty-four photos are available, suggesting comprehensive documentation of the environment. The facility is part of the Dolan Memory Care organization, suggesting multi-location management structure.

Located in a car-dependent area of Saint Louis County with Walk Score 16, the facility is in an isolated setting where most errands require a car. Few nearby services are walkable.

Families evaluating Dolan Memory Care at Calais should request details regarding private-pay costs, physician availability protocols, specific therapeutic approaches for memory care, staff training in dementia care, respite care arrangements, and family support offerings before enrollment.

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 14 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.
