Nazareth Living Center is a 235-bed skilled nursing and assisted living community in Saint Louis, Missouri, offering skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, respite care, and short-term rehabilitation, with 24-hour staffing across all units. It is operated by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet St. Louis Province, a nonprofit that has run the facility since 1987.
The facility carries a 2-star overall CMS rating, driven by Health Inspection and Quality Measures scores that are both roughly 30% below the Missouri average. Across 10 inspections since 2020, the facility recorded 51 deficiencies — 46% above the state average. The March 2025 routine survey identified 17 deficiencies, including a 38.71% medication error rate and infection control failures. The July 2025 complaint investigation was substantiated for financial exploitation of a resident, wound-care failures that led to a hospital transfer, and controlled-substance record discrepancies. CMS imposed a $12,000 civil money penalty in October 2023 and a four-day payment denial in March 2025.
Total nursing hours average 4 hours per resident per day, roughly 5% above the Missouri average, though RN-specific hours are 43% below state benchmarks. The facility’s occupancy rate is 40%, compared with Missouri’s average of 66.6%, reflecting current availability across most care levels. The community is part of a continuing care retirement community campus and maintains active resident and family councils; religious services and a full calendar of social and spiritual activities are available on-site.
With a 46-day average length of stay and a payer mix that is 72% private pay, the facility is structured primarily for short-term post-acute and rehabilitative stays in Saint Louis County. However, families considering Nazareth Living Center should also carefully review its recent inspection findings, medication error history, and substantiated complaint investigations before making a placement decision.
Nazareth Living Center is legally operated by Nazareth Living Center, and administrated by Joseph Vanhooser.
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.
