Mother of Good Counsel Home is a 114-bed skilled nursing facility located at 6825 Natural Bridge Road, Saint Louis County, Missouri, operated and administered by Nicole Belongea. The facility has served the Saint Louis community since 1932 as a Catholic skilled nursing and memory care provider with emphasis on spiritual life alongside clinical care. It operates 24 hours daily and maintains 24-hour on-site staffing.
The facility’s Catholic identity is central to its mission. Weekday Masses are celebrated on campus, with sacraments, spiritual opportunities, and volunteer programming available. Families and visitors are welcome at all times. The community calendar includes potluck dinners, special events, and activities supporting resident engagement.
Skilled nursing care, memory care services, and rehabilitation therapies are listed. The walk score of 20 indicates the facility is car-dependent; most off-campus errands and activities require transportation.
The facility accepts Missouri Medicaid programs, including the Aged and Disabled Waiver, Missouri Supplemental Nursing Care, Structured Family Caregiving Waiver, MO HealthNet Aged Blind and Disabled, and Medicare Savings Program. Veterans may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance benefits. This payment structure makes the facility accessible to residents with limited financial resources.
The facility’s regulatory record shows zero total inspections recorded, compared to a Missouri state average of seven for comparable skilled nursing facilities. This unusually sparse inspection history requires explanation. Families must request and review the facility’s current licensing status, any available inspection records from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, and written explanation for the absence of routine regulatory oversight documentation.
Families should verify staffing credentials, CMS ratings, license and inspection reports, rehabilitation and memory care protocols; and fall prevention and incident tracking procedures.
