Big Bend Woods Healthcare Center is a 135-bed skilled nursing home on Highland Avenue in Valley Park, Missouri, managed by operator Bbw Management Group, LLC, administrator Melissa Levvintre, and owner Irving Brecher. The finance department channels billing through standard options, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For visitors, the facility is located in a car-dependent neighborhood with a walkability score of 42 out of 100, which means family members will typically need a vehicle for trips to the campus.
Operational records show a 67 percent occupancy rate with an average length of stay of 127 days. This operational timeline points to an everyday schedule balanced between short-term post-hospital therapy and extended residential care. To supervise regular medical tasks and daily personal assistance, the 24-hour staffing schedule organizes an average of roughly 3 hours of total nursing care per resident each day, combining the efforts of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides. State regulatory records from public health departments document how the facility manages its ongoing licensing evaluations.
Documents verify that recent inspections identified standard compliance deficiencies involving palatable food temperature standards and basic life support protocol timing, which means the property’s total cumulative citations-per-inspection rate is not zero, and these items remain part of ongoing regional quality tracking.
Prospective residents have access to on-site dental, eye, and laboratory options, alongside localized physician visits and creative art therapies. The everyday routine coordinates physical rehabilitation and recovery loops with chef-prepared meals, crafts group sessions, a game room, and pet visitation privileges.
Big Bend Woods Healthcare Center is legally operated by Bbw Management Group, Llc, and administrated by Melissa Levvintre.
In Missouri, the Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Regulation and Licensure performs the inspections and unannounced surveys required for all long-term care providers.
