Nursing Home Communities in Mexico, MO

"After having BIG problems with another nursing home, I set out to find a place for my father where he would be cared for properly and not just drugged-up and put in the corner. I visited many facilities in the Jefferson City-Fulton area and was most favorably impressed from my first inspection of this facility until the end of Dad's life. There are so many stories I could relate of the excellent care that he received that it would be easy to fill a book. While looking at nursing homes, I tried to be very observant in trying to determine if the residents were clean, happy, well cared for, drugged-up, etc. as well as looking at the staff to see if they looked as if they looked overworked (so many looked frazzled by noon in other nursing homes) and how they were interacting with the residents. This place, while not being the newest facility I reviewed, was clean, in good repair, and the staff appeared to be taking good care of their charges. I was impressed by the menu, and remember being told how one old lady loved cheeseburgers"”so she got one for lunch every time she asked. I found a number of innovations in this facility that I didn't notice elsewhere. I told my brothers about my findings and we decided to move Dad immediately. Remembering the conditions at the former nursing home where he was a resident, after checking him in, my inspections continued. Sometimes I'd visit in the mornings, sometimes in the afternoon, late at night, and on the weekends. Not once was I disappointed. When we checked Dad in, the administrator asked about his favorite foods, clothes, what he liked to do, etc. She asked about our concerns and answered many questions and the communication remained excellent throughout his stay. There are so many things I could relate here"”and all positive. They took him outside when he wanted, brought him his favorite snacks, and cared for him like he was family. His clothes were always clean and weren't constantly becoming "lost" (stolen) like they were at the other place. He was always clean, shaved, teeth brushed, hair combed, and usually wearing his favorite hat. He told me once that "This is a pretty nice hotel." And I sincerely think he was "at home". I highly recommend Fulton Nursing and Rehab. In my opinion, what they did for my father was way beyond what my brothers or I had expected. "

"I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. Staff are kind and knowledgeable. The food is amazing. My mother was here for rehab services after a recent fall at home and enjoyed her 3 month stay. 10/10 would recommend Kingdom Care Senior Living for your loved ones. "

"I'm in Columbia Post Acute right now recovering from a fall that I had. The therapy is really good. I have occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy, and they do a really good job here. It's very nice. All the aides and nurses are very good, too. The food is very good; however, it depends on where you are in the hall. Right now, I'm at the end of the hall, so my food is not hot when I get it, but they do the best they can. There are so many people they got here. It just takes a while to get the food delivered to everybody. It's all good food and you can pick out what you want to eat. They are cleaning the facilities all the time. They're going to start activities this week. They haven't had it for a few weeks but that could be because of Covid in here. That's all cleared now, so they're going to start activities tomorrow. We have painted some rocks and I play cards. There are a couple of aides who know how to play cards, and so I play that with them. There are different things that they do. They have very good activities. Medicare is paying for me, so I don't know how much it is right now."

"This is a lovely facility. The rooms are very nice and cheery. The facility has a homey feeling to it. However, the care level is not what it should be. There are not enough staff/aides for the number of residents there. It also appears that the staff is not motivated. Delivery of services is quite disorganized and many mistakes are being made. Many services are not delivered as promised. As in any facility, there are some staff members that are outstanding, and others who can't be bothered to do their job. Cleaning is somewhat haphazard in many areas. The quality of the food fluctuates, from good to adequate to poor. Overall, this may be a good place for someone who is quite independent and doesn't need a lot of attention. For those that need more assistance, the care is uneven. "

"My sister was in Rusk for rehab, the atmosphere was wonderful, and they treated her with respect. The food was good, and they had activities they could participate in. Her room was shared, but it had adequate space. They had activities where people were throwing balloons, and they had an atrium where they had things going."

"My friend moved into St. Andrews at New Florence nursing home in January. I have visited him once and I would have visited more, but I can't right now because of my dad. I don't know that much about it but they were very nice when I visited. The place was very easy to find, and it's a nice facility. His room was clean and nice. The staff knew what they were doing and they were very, very caring. The food that I saw prepared for him was appropriate for his needs as it has to be prepared a certain way."

"My Mother is there. She loves the people there and calls it home. It is the Country Club of Nursing homes in our town."

"My neighbors have moved to Lenoir Woods. It is a big multi-level community, so it is a huge place. It has independent apartment living, and it is full of activities. They have everything in-house -- which is a very lovely place -- and the activities director does a marvelous job of programming the activities. They have a movie theater where they have the first run movies, they have concerts, they have the restaurant and the formal dining, and then they have the chapel. They have everything. The food is fine; I have been a guest there, and the dining room is beautiful. The staff is excellent. I don't think anybody who lives there has any complaints ever. The rooms are large. They have all types of space. I know they have 24-hour security. It is well-lit, and it is part of the Lutheran services, so it is an excellent community. "

"Our whole family loves Parkside Manor senior living apartments serves my sister's needs well. It relieves our family to know that she is safe at night and that she has someone available to help. The independent living apartments are well-planned, and we all love the food! "
