Overview of Big Bend Retreat

Big Bend Retreat is a 10-bed intermediate care facility at 620 North Emmerson, Slater, Saline County, Missouri. Emily Hahn administers the facility, operated by Big Bend Retreat, Inc. The facility emphasizes personalized care in a small, intimate residential setting.

The facility maintains a clean inspection record with zero reported state inspections and zero documented deficiencies or violations. No citations, penalties, or enforcement actions appear in state records. This aligns with typical regulatory patterns for very small rural intermediate care facilities.

Big Bend Retreat provides 24-hour staffing with residential care, adult daycare, and respite care services. Home-style meals are prepared daily for residents. No state or federal operational data is available regarding staff-to-resident ratios, occupancy rates, or clinical outcomes. Administrative hours are listed as Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, though 24-hour staffing is claimed.

As an intermediate care facility, Big Bend Retreat operates under a different regulatory framework than skilled nursing facilities, providing personalized residential care with supporting services for a small census. Located at or near Slater city center, the facility is in a low-walkability area with Walk Score 33. Most errands require transportation.

The facility’s small 10-bed capacity may allow for intimate staff-resident relationships. Services emphasize respite care and adult daycare flexibility for temporary or part-time stays.

Families evaluating Big Bend Retreat should contact directly for details about staffing credentials, admission requirements, care scope, and current availability.
