General Info:
Whether joining us short-term to recuperate from an illness or injury or long-term, we are proud of the reputation we’ve earned for caring about our residents. Care and services are provided based on an individualized plan with nursing services available 24 hours a day. We use the evaluation system required by the State of Missouri and Medicare to measure each resident’s capabilities and physical health to determine the appropriate level of care. Our health care center is Medicare certified for short-term recuperative stays. And we have a full compliment of rehabilitation therapy services to assist in recovery. With several levels of care, we are able to adjust care and services to meet residents’ needs as their physical and mental health may change. An initial assessment provides information on each resident’s capabilities and physical health to determine the appropriate level of care and services. Programs may range from exercise to a game of checkers to a picnic in the park. On-site conveniences include hair salon, commons areas for socializing, chapel services, health, social and educational programs, and transportation. What our families find is that their parents are in qualified hands to provide the care needed for the best possible quality of life. We focus on the details and do our best to ensure that the services and support are provided to make the best of your loved one’s abilities. Our staff receives training through the Alzheimer’s Association to understand and recognize the signs of residents experiencing memory loss. Therapy services are available among other services to assist in maintaining or regaining as much independence as possible. At Dade County Residential Care you can free yourself from the everyday home maintenance that gets in the way of enjoying the hobbies and interests you love. Try something new, socialize or relax and enjoy the life you’ve earned, free from the household chores that hold you back. Many residents find that when they no longer worry about day-to-day home upkeep and social gatherings are just a few steps away, they have more independence and freedom than managing on their own. Along with the many activities and programs at the facility, there’s plenty to engage in for fun, learning and wellness – not to mention the day-to-day opportunities to join in a social gathering to foster their connection to community. The nursing staff is the link between the residents and their physicians. They carefully monitor the residents’ medical and emotional needs, following a daily care plan and medicine regimen. Whatever your perception of a nursing home, we think you’ll find we’re much more than that. We invite you to visit to our center and see for yourself.
