Overview of Elsberry Missouri Health Care Center

Three care types are named at Elsberry Missouri Health Care Center in Elsberry, MO. Assisted living, skilled nursing, and nursing home care share an address. Assisted living here means help with bathing, dressing, and taking medication on time.

That list is short on purpose, and it’s meant to fit someone who handles most of an ordinary day on their own, unaided. Skilled nursing is the wider level, with licensed nursing on the floor day and night. A resident whose needs grow past assisted living does not have to find a second building to move to.

Sixty-eight beds are under the license. Three hours and 47 minutes of nursing go to each resident every day.

Christina Kuntz is the administrator. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are all taken here, so a family’s funding route is likely to be one of the three. A Walk Score of 47 marks the area as car-dependent, which means an errand runs through whoever has keys. The license names an Assisted Living Facility and a Skilled Nursing Facility.
