Overview of Birch Pointe Health and Rehabilitation

Birch Pointe sits on South Jefferson Avenue in Springfield, Missouri. Its main draw is the location; under a mile from Cox Medical Center South, which is a practical necessity for anyone requiring urgent medical access. While the surrounding area has a Walk Score of 46, meaning you’ll still need a car for errands, the facility’s core focus is clinical. Managed by Senior Living Management Group, LLC, and led by administrator Clinton Lowe, the building houses 120 beds.

The facility provides nursing home, memory, and short-term respite care. With 110 residents on-site, about 92% capacity, people tend to stay for an average of 111 days. That number tells a specific story: the population is a mix of people recovering through rehab and those here for long-term specialized support. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private payments.

Regarding staffing, residents receive about three and a half hours of nursing care daily. That breaks down to 34 minutes from RNs, 29 minutes from LPNs, and over two hours from nurse aides. Beyond that, physical therapists and speech-language pathologists are part of the recovery team. If advocacy matters to you, there’s a Resident Council that meets regularly to bridge the gap between residents and leadership.

On the amenities front, you’ll find the expected basics: a dining room, therapy gym, activity space, salon, and a courtyard. A certified dietary manager oversees the kitchen, accommodating various health requirements and food allergies. Like any care facility, Birch Pointe undergoes state inspections to track medication management, cleanliness, and food safety.

For families evaluating senior care in Springfield, Birch Pointe offers a stable environment primarily defined by its 24-hour nursing and immediate proximity to a major hospital.

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.
