Overview of Elsberry Missouri Health Care Center

Located on Highway B in Elsberry, Missouri, Elsberry Missouri Health Care Center offers dual-licensed accommodations managed by administrator Christina Kuntz. Financial setups are clear through typical payment channels like Medicare, Medicaid, and private funds. With a neighborhood walkability score of 47 out of 100, the immediate area is only somewhat friendly to pedestrians, meaning family members will generally want a car to get around and run errands during visits.

Beds at the campus stay about 79 percent full, with people staying an average of 282 days. This operational track shows that the daily routine divides its time between short-term medical rehab following hospital visits and permanent residential placement. Registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides split standard daily clinical workflows, combining to provide an average of 3 hours and 30 minutes of direct hands-on nursing care per resident each day.

Oversight files from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services track how the building handles regulatory protocols over time. Recent evaluation sweeps noted that staff needed to make procedural adjustments regarding general care records, basic infection prevention steps, medication logging systems, and employee training profiles, which keeps the total citation rate above zero.

Families can explore the combined assisted living layout and skilled medical nursing wings to see how daily routines adjust across different care brackets. The property features a communal activity center for social events, along with routine housekeeping, laundry help, and freshly prepared daily meals managed by the building staff.

vs avg

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	22m per day	▼ 21% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	29m per day	▼ 29% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 7m per day	▼ 9% State avg: 2h 19m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	2h 32m per day	▼ 17% State avg: 3h 3m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	2m per day	■ Avg State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	19m per day	▼ 5% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day
