Monroe City Manor Care Center

1010 Highway 24 & 36 East, Monroe City, MO 63456-1116
Overview of Monroe City Manor Care Center

Nursing time at Monroe City Manor Care Center reaches 5 hours and 14 minutes per resident per day, spread across 60 beds. Therapy services appear on the program list beside rehabilitation. The person answering a call bell at midnight in Monroe City holds a nursing license. That is what around-the-clock skilled nursing buys.

Hospice care shifts the family’s job. Arranging appointments and pushing for treatment makes way to being in the room, which is harder than it sounds and demanding in an entirely different way.

Selective menus give residents choices at each meal. Beauty shop services, assisted transportation, and community outing opportunities are named programs here, so a ride is not something a relative organizes every time. Brittany Vanlandingham serves as administrator.

Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay all may apply. The main question with Medicare is rarely whether it covers a stay but for how long. It pays for skilled care after a hospital admission rather than for an ongoing residence. Medicaid answers the years after that, and personal funds fill in for the rest.

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.

Raintree Village

1501 S W Arborwalk Blvd, Lee's Summit, MO 64082-4101
Overview of Raintree Village

Raintree Village offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and skilled nursing care in Lee’s Summit, MO. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock for residents who need ongoing medical support. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care.

Several care levels are available here. That may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can change without requiring a move to another community. Raintree Village has 82 beds, with independent living starting at $3,695 and assisted living starting at $5,990; the rates reflect whether a resident lives independently or receives help with daily tasks.

Short term rehabilitation is available for a temporary stay focused on recovery, giving a resident access to rehabilitation services during that period. Pets are allowed, so a resident may keep a pet while living at the community. A Walk Score of 85 makes the area very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Cody Hughes serves as administrator, and the community is operated by Ccrc Of Lee’s Summit.

Overview of Smiley Manor

Smiley Manor occupies a residential address at 5415 Thekla Ave in St. Louis, Missouri, 5.3 miles from the city center. The community is a 20-bed residential care facility offering assisted living, residential care, and respite care, administered by Naton Smith under Smiley Manor, LLC. It has operated for 14 years. The neighborhood sits at a Walk Score of 49, so most outings require a car or arranged transport.

Occupancy is 18 of 20 beds, a 90% fill rate. For a 20-bed community, that’s a meaningful signal of consistent local demand.

Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the building around the clock. Included services cover meals, medication management, housekeeping, and laundry. A physician visits monthly on-site, and the community arranges transportation to residents’ preferred doctors as needed. Shopping trips are available, and residents who want to attend church on Sundays have transportation arranged for that too.

Two details stand out as genuinely distinctive. First, personal interpreters for Swahili and Sign Language are available, which is a concrete, practical support for residents and families who use either of those languages. Second, the community operates Medical and Psychiatric programs, which suggests a capacity to support residents with more complex or behavioral health needs alongside standard assisted living care.

Short-term respite placement is also offered for families managing a transition or caregiver break.

Smiley Manor is a small, consistently occupied residential care setting in St. Louis with staffed medical support, language accessibility, and a scope of services that extends to behavioral health, suited to older adults who need attentive daily care in an intimate environment.

Overview of American House Wildwood Village

American House Wildwood Village keeps a Wildwood, MO, address, with respite care, memory care, independent living, and assisted living on the license. Assisted living supplies the help a resident needs with dressing, bathing, and taking medication, and the private apartment is still theirs. Independent living leaves the daily care out and keeps the community’s services. Respite Stays is the program name for the short version, the one a family books with a finish date already on it.

Living Well Memory Care is the name of the memory care program, and what it comes down to is a secured setting with staff supervising inside it. Four levels on one license mean a resident’s care can change while everything else stays the same.

The license permits 94 beds, and the building is staffed around the clock. Rehabilitation Services are named, so therapy happens where a resident already is.

Dining, bistro, a salon, and a fitness center are all listed among the amenities, and a pet may come along too. On-site spiritual services are available through the community. Kathleen Nardoni is named a administrator, and the operating entity is Asr 251 Plaze Lessee, LLC.

Overview of Advance Assisted Living

Debra Newman serves as the administrator, and Advance Missouri Health Care operates the community. A Walk Score of 49 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride rather than a short walk for a resident who no longer drives.
