The community has 172 beds, which means it serves more residents and has the scale for more staff and programming than a smaller community.

Belleview Care Center

1616 Weisenborn Rd, Saint Joseph, MO 64507-2527
Overview of Belleview Care Center

Belleview Care Center operates out of Saint Joseph, MO, with assisted living, hospice, care, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing licensed. Assisted living handles dressing, medication, and bathing, though often it is the meals and the rides that decide it. The building does logistics that a relative across town cannot. Both nursing tracks serve people who need ongoing support.

Hospice care is there for a resident whose illness has reached its last stretch. Memory care means a supervised setting, and plenty of families arrive looking for two things at once: dementia and a medical reason, both true on the same day. Several levels under one license fit a person whose requirements shift, since the next step already exists here.

There are 190 beds inside, and rehabilitation and therapy services give residents therapeutic support as part of the care. Nursing time settles at 3 hours and 3 minutes daily for one resident, and religious services are available.

Medicaid, private pay, and Medicare each cover care costs, and somebody is usually paying while a Medicaid application is moving through the system. Paul Carbrey is the administrator, and Weisenbormn Road Healthcare runs the place. A Walk Score of 76 makes the area very walkable, so a visit can be an afternoon built around a walk to a cafe.

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 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.
