Westgate is a 120-bed skilled nursing facility that provides long-term care, memory support, and rehabilitation services. Located in a walkable urban area, the building stays busy with a 91% occupancy rate that runs well ahead of the Missouri state average. On the business side, the operation is financially stable, posting a $1.1 million profit and a 10% margin. The facility utilizes its own staff for the vast majority of its operations, keeping its reliance on outside contract labor down to just 7% of total hours.
Public health databases show an uneven clinical track record paired with localized personnel challenges. Total direct nursing time averages 3 hours and 24 minutes per resident daily, with strong practical nurse coverage offset by registered nurse hours that trail state benchmarks by 18%. Over a six-year tracking window, the property compiled 20 deficiencies, averaging 3.3 per year, which outpaces the state baseline.
However, its most recent inspection in January 2026 flagged a serious deficiency involving a substantiated complaint of staff-to-resident physical abuse, resulting in the immediate termination of the employee. Past oversight files also note a July 2025 resident rights violation alongside older, corrected issues with fall tracking, room change notices, and infection control. Clinical charts show mixed metrics; the facility scores well on depression management, but permanent residents face higher-than-average rates of physical functional decline and major injury falls.
Prospective residents reviewing local extended care or memory support options can consult these state monitoring summaries to analyze the facility’s day-to-day operations. Since the official tracking profiles show strong local utilization and a lower overall citation count alongside thin daily registered nurse hours, weak post-acute safety scores, and a recent high-severity abuse termination, the data highlights a stable business navigating serious clinical oversight needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.
Does Missouri Medicaid cover memory care?
Missouri Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?
Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.
How many memory care communities are listed on this page?
This page features 236 memory care communities in Missouri. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
