Overview of Campbell Healthcare & Senior Living

John Cole and Sarah Powers handle the daily operations at Campbell Healthcare & Senior Living on US Highway 62 in Campbell. The main office keeps things simple with billing, taking the standard routes like private pay, Medicaid, and Medicare. Since the local area logs a walkability score of 32 out of 100, it is mostly car-dependent, so you will definitely want a vehicle to drop by for a visit or run quick errands nearby.

This 90-bed facility stays about 70 percent full with 63 active residents. Stays average around 141 days, which shows that the staff balances their daily schedules between long-term living and short-term post-hospital rehab. To keep up with regular medical needs, the 24-hour shift framework provides an average of 3 hours and 42 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day, split up among registered nurses, practical nurses, and nurse aides.

Public files from the state health department track how well the building sticks to regular safety and care guidelines. While one past inspection wrapped up with zero health deficiencies, follow-up surveys flagged a few standard areas needing some adjustment, specifically regarding clinical infection control habits, basic environmental safety, care plan paperwork, and daily staffing records.

Families can check out the specialized rehab-to-home setup, short-term respite stays, and the secured care wing. The indoor layout features both private and semi-private rooms, plus a few extras like an on-site library, a family lounge, an ice cream soda shop, and a barber shop.

Overview of Arbor View Nursing and Rehabilitation

Owned by Cedars Court Consulting LLC and run by Forrest Opco LLC, Arbor View Nursing and Rehabilitation operates as a 150-bed skilled nursing center under the leadership of administrator Sharon Wooten. The business office organizes accounts through standard channels, clearing payments via private insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare. Relatives planning visits can expect a highly car-dependent environment, as the surrounding streets do not offer standard sidewalk frameworks, making a vehicle necessary for trips to the campus.

Current administrative rosters show an occupancy rate of 55 percent, while resident stays average 919 days. This timeline shows that the facility focuses heavily on multi-year residential nursing support alongside standard post-hospital therapy programs. Nursing staff members monitor daily medical goals on a 24-hour schedule, providing an average of 2 hours and 13 minutes of direct, hands-on care per resident each day using a combined rotation of registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides.

Recent health evaluations noted that staff needed to complete procedural updates regarding resident physical mobility help, medication administration, employee training profiles, and basic building maintenance, keeping the overall citation rate above zero.

Interested individuals can review the internal floor plan, which includes dedicated physical therapy areas, memory care setups, and long-term medical care wings. The campus couples these clinical recovery tracks with standard amenities like an outdoor courtyard, regular dining options, and scheduled social events managed by the building staff.

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.
