Not enough help - rude help - bossy help - sad food - owner just interested in money -

Staff is typically friendly, elderly are nice, the place feels more like a hotel home then a nursing home. The entrance to it is a little bit 'creaky'. The floors squeek when you walk down them, but they are nicely kept. The assisted living is like walking into a house with a small living room at the entrance and then a foyer area at the end of the hallway. This is where the residents watch TV outside their rooms. The assisted living added on more rooms and added a small fountain area for outdoors. There is a walking trail for outgoing residents. This is a 24 hour nursing home with shifts from 7am to 3pm and 11pm to 7am. This area is frequently visited by neighborhood pets, like cats and small dogs. Each side of the assisted living place has a balcony. Most residents use walkers or canes to get by in this assisted living area.

This facility was fairly decent. The main reason for the 3 star rating has to do with the location and lack of outside opportunities for the residents. Since it was in a very small town in Missouri, there weren't many places for the residents to go for entertainment. There was also a lack of outdoor activities for the residents. With that being said, the facility was clean, and there were plenty of common areas where the residents could spend time together. The individual rooms were also very small. It was very difficult to visit the residents if you had more than 3 or 4 people in your group. The room were just too small. The food seemed to be nice and the residents seemed to enjoy meal times. The employees were all very helpful and seemed to have the residents best interests in mind. The employees also seemed to be well trained and able to assist the residents when needed.
