The Best Nursing Home Communities in Montgomery County, MO

"My in-laws are at Fulton Nursing & Rehab. I love it, but I am not going to keep them there, because for one thing it is very expensive. Another thing is I have to get them in separate places because they do not know each other anymore. Their room is a bedroom with a bath and dressers. The staff is very helpful. I know that we went initially because their legs are very slow from inactivity, and now their legs are back to normal, so they are doing things to help out. We can't go back in because of COVID, but they are getting three meals a day, a snack if they want, and a soda pop here and there if they want. I am sure they are getting fed well. They have a rec room, an exercise area, and a big patio outside. They get haircuts, beard trims and shaves, and they have a whirlpool. This is the first time I have had to deal with it, and I cannot believe it is $10,000 a month for a couple, but that is what I heard is the going rate. I am a little disgruntled on the price that these places can charge a family to take care of their loved ones at the end of their lives; it is just outrageous."

"It's so hard to pick a care center for a loved one. I'm so glad I went with KCSL for my mom. The nurses who worked with my mom and our family went out of their way to make us feel like we all belonged together. They loved my mother even on their hardest days with her. They planned many ways to keep my mother safe from herself (from falls/trying to leave/etc) and yet make sure she was cared for in every way that I would. The building was clean (it didn't have that aged smell). The dining area and halls always looked clean as I was passing by. The food was plentiful and tasty. The staff engaged the residents when passing in the halls. The staff communicated with me by phone often. They would notify me of changes made to mom's care and health. They discussed the concern they were hoping to change and welcomed my decision. My only complaint is the rooms were pretty small. A few day rooms helped to create a place to visit when more family than myself would go visit."

"This facility is very clean and very welcoming. There is an activity room on the ground floor with a television, couch, tables, and aquarium. When my grandfather was here, this was a great place to host social events or simply play cards. The food is pretty good and there is a nice seating area wil plenty of windows and sunlight. We always has positive experiences with the staff and trusted them to care for my grandfather. "

"After my father broke his hip he went to the Golden Living for rehabilitation and physical therapy. The PT staff was very professional and knowledgable. My father who was 89 years of age was able to walk again with the aid of a walker. The facility was clean and the residents were well cared for. Golden Living was small and provided a homey atmosphere for the residents. "

"My mom is in Lincoln County Nursing & Rehab for short-term care. She's there for rehab. So far, they've kept in contact with me about things going on, her physician check ups, and the physician that visits the place used to be our primary physician. They do have in-house activities. Most of the meals are provided, and if they want snacks, soda, or something, they use vending machines, and we have a small account set up for that. They're probably the second worst rating in the state. They seemed to have treated her well, and they have been open with their information with me, and I'm very pleased with that. They've had an employee that tested positive with Covid, they tested all the patients next morning, and they called me with results immediately, and I'm pleased with that."

"Golden Living is an older facility in the rural community of Mexico, Missouri. They provide a wide range of treatment and living arrangements for elderly, sick and disabled patients. In general, the staff are well trained and attentive to the residents. I have noticed examples of employees going beyond the call of duty to assist with patient or family needs. For example, the kitchen staff made a special breakfast for me when I was there very early in the morning on business for my father who was a resident at the time. However, there is always a turnover of employees and sometimes new staff are not as aware of their duties and how to best assist patients and family. In my opinion, this facility is excellent for the time-limited patient but would not be my first choice for long-term care. "

"My mom is in Troy Manor. It?s clean, and the people are nice. The food is fine. There could be a few more different types of activities. They seem to do a lot of the same things. "

"We got a tour of New Haven Care Center and we are on their waiting list. We were looking for nursing home care. My mother-in-law needs showers, getting to bed, and she's pretty well wheelchair-bound. When we walked in, I just felt like it was very welcoming and warm. We met with a woman named Teresa, she gave us a thorough walk-through with lots of explanations, and she answered all of the questions that we had for her. She let us know that 94% is the capacity but it was much, much smaller than that due to lack of being able to find employees. Everything just seemed clean, everyone was friendly, and I just had a very good feeling there. I was just very disappointed knowing that there were 28 people in front of my mother-in-law on the waiting list but Teresa said it may not be that many because some people are signed up strictly for rehabilitation and they've probably chosen someplace else at this point. I thought I would give her a call back in a couple of weeks. She said that if it did come to the point where it looked like there would be a spot for my mother-in-law, then she would have to do the paperwork for her. I would just call the rooms a typical nursing-home room where all the beds were hospital beds. That was nice because they had the lifting and lowering accessibility instead of the beds where she is now, where they're only regular twin beds. It looked like everything was well taken care of there and I know they got some choices on their food, which sounded nice. She also showed us the dining area. When it gets to the point where it's a possibility for us then we will spend more time out there. I think that is still the place where we would like for my mother-in-law to go. I was very impressed with Teresa. She didn't act like we were bothering her, and she took special time to show us the entire facility. I felt like she was a very caring person and was in the right job."

"I have never seen a nursing home so poorly run. The facility seems in disarray all the time. I have been there when resident room lights were going off and no one ever answers it. The nursing station looks more like a meeting room. The nurses and aides are hanging around when lights are on and no one pays attention to it. This has been brought to the attention of the Director of Nurses and the Administrator and have had no results. The person I go to see at the home is very unhappy therer. This is not a nursing home that you would want your family or friends at, believe me. C.Baker "
