Benton House of Staley Hills offers assisted living and memory care in Kansas City, MO. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident continues living in their own apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and having both care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move.
The community has 80 beds. Dining includes a varied menu prepared with fresh ingredients, with full breakfast service and multiple options at lunch and dinner so residents can choose among offerings at each meal. Respite care provides a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover.
A Walk Score of 94 places the area in the walker’s paradise band, where daily errands do not require a car. A resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Alyssa Gaudreau serves as administrator, and Ahr Kansas City Mo Alf Trs Sub Ii operates the community.
Specializing in short-term rehabilitation and long-term care services, The Maples believes that quality and compassionate care are the most important priorities in their service. Community features are designed to promote comfort and care for its residents. The upscale community boasts its home-like atmosphere where seniors can enjoy their stay. The Maples do their best in ensuring that its residents have a speedy recovery and get back on their feet as soon as possible.
The Maples is a 120-bed facility with 24-hour skilled nursing care, a spacious therapy gym, a private dining room, and an outdoor courtyard. The nursing home follows a guideline to see if a resident reaches the qualifications for Medicare.
The address for Sikeston Convalescent Center is in Sikeston, MO. Nursing home care, skilled nursing, and memory care are what it offers.
A resident does not pick when they need help, which is why skilled nursing here means licensed nursing inside the building at any hour. Memory care means a secured setting and supervision for a person who may wander off. Dementia and a nursing need in one person are why both appear on one license.
120 beds make up the center. Each day, a resident receives 3 hours and 45 minutes of nursing time. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are all accepted here. Two are administered elsewhere by an office. The third is for families who want to get around that.
The area rates 73 for walkability, so most errands can be done on foot. Rehabilitation services add therapy to what is available. Daryl Wade II carries the title of administrator, and Collins Acres Care Center runs the place.
Independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, and nursing home care are what Beth Haven Nursing Home runs in Hannibal, MO. Levels stacked that way work for a person whose requirements may grow, because moving up does not mean moving out. Residential nursing handles the licensed care. Assisted living takes bathing, dressing, and medication, and the resident keeps an apartment while it happens.
Memory care means a secured setting and supervision for somebody living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. There is a named Alzheimer’s Unit here. Independent living puts private quarters together with community services, no daily care attached. A short stay under respite fits the family caregiver planning travel or recovery.
Add those up and the home fits a person who wants private living now, expects to need more later, or needs memory support or a brief stay. Beth Haven has 105 beds and runs rehabilitation therapy for anyone needing it during care.
Each resident’s daily share of nursing staffing time is 5 hours and 51 minutes. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay all apply to eligible services or residence. An 80 out of 100 Walk Score is very walkable, so most errands close on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out alone. Mennonite Home Association operates the home, and Kerri Lauterbach administers it.
St. Louis Altenheim sits at 5408 S Broadway in St. Louis’s Carondelet neighborhood, a few miles south of the city center along the Mississippi. The 48-bed community has operated for over a century and today carries five care designations: nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care. Administrator Jean Bardwell leads the operation under Malik St. Louis LLC. The neighborhood scores a 39 on walkability, so transportation is a practical consideration for families and visitors.
Ninety percent of beds are currently filled, 43 of 48, which is a meaningful occupancy figure for a community this size and care mix.
Total nursing hours run at 3 hours and 58 minutes per resident per day. Registered nurses account for 26 minutes of that, nurse aides for 2 hours and 11 minutes. Twenty-four-hour staffing is confirmed.
Named programs include Bavaria Memory Care and Supported Living, which signals a structured approach to both dementia care and residents with broader support needs. Rehabilitation services and respite care round out the clinical options. Religious services are available on site.

Turners Rock Senior Living Community is a senior living community on East Sunshine Street in Springfield, Missouri, roughly 4.7 miles from the city center. It offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in one place, which means a resident can move between levels of support without leaving a familiar building and staff. The community is operated by Senior Living Consulting Group, LLC, and administered by Brad Eldridge, who serves as general manager. With 70 beds and occupancy running near 89 percent, it is a moderately sized community that balances personal attention with shared amenities.
Housing options range from studios to one, two, and three bedroom apartments, so couples and residents who want more room have real choices. Independent living residents have housekeeping, home maintenance, and cooking handled for them, which frees up the day for other things. Assisted living and memory care add personal support built around what each resident can still do, with an emphasis on continuity and familiar routines. Pets are welcome, which matters to families who do not want a move to mean giving up a companion animal.
Shared spaces are a real part of daily life here. There is a pool, an outdoor fire pit, a bar, a library, a salon, a fitness area, and a movie theater, along with a regular calendar of community events. Common living areas give residents places to gather outside their apartments, and the surrounding area puts restaurants, shops, and medical care within a short drive.
State inspections by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services have tended to focus on building systems and physical-plant upkeep, along with procedural matters such as resident oversight, medication documentation, and health screening records, rather than on the quality of daily care itself. Families touring the community may want to ask how maintenance and oversight procedures are handled day to day.
The neighborhood scores 26 out of 100 for walkability, so most errands and outings will involve a car or community transportation rather than a walk.

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.
