The Best Nursing Home Communities in Montgomery County, MO

"The structure and everything at Silex Community Care looked good and they keep it really clean. The rooms were very clean. The staff was friendly. They took us around. They introduced us to all the staff that we met."

"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 am very grateful that my father is a resident of the Mexico, Missouri Veteran's home. He is receiving excellent professional nursing care and has the opportunity to interact socially with others. It seems that all of the staff and personel are eager and quick to meet all of his requests and needs. The facility is very clean and accommodating to the needs of family as well as residents. The Mexico, Missouri Veteran's home is a God send. I am fully confident that my father is well cared for, happy and safe. Thank all of you at Mexico's Missouri Veteran's home."

"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. "

"The care, love, and attention given to my husband mother, Dona, was amazing at Troy Manor. The food and selections were delicious. We even enjoyed a few meals with her just to taste them. Every staff member we ever saw or encountered was always working hard and we realize it's a hard and thankless job for most of the employees at a skilled nursing facility. We want to thank everyone at Troy Manor for the care they extend to those who need it most."

"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 "
