Nursing Home Communities in Republic, MO

"I was always that person who said, "I'll never go to a nursing home." But a short term stay at Jordon Creek Nursing & Rehab I just might change my mind. I especially liked the staff on my wing. They were genuine and "real people" who looked at me as a person and not just another patient. The warm touch was always there and I appreciated it. I didn't have a moment's difficulty with anybody. The rest of the residents were friendly and their personalities showed. It was so much more like a community than I thought it would be. Now I don't fear a nursing home future like I once did."

"My mom was at The Manor at Elfindale. The staff were excellent. My mom had been there before when she had a bleeding ulcer episode, and she went to rehab. We were familiar with the facility. It's a little bit expensive, but the facility is kept up and well maintained. Where my mother's room was, we got to see some deer running through the fields and see some Canadian geese. It was enjoyable for her to look out the window. The staff seemed to genuinely care, not only for the patient but also for the family member. Especially if they knew that the patient is in hospice care, they didn't enforce 'visiting hours.' They let us stay there as long as we need to be there with our loved ones. I know there were activities available, but my mom did not participate, and she wasn't capable of doing that. It's all on one level. It's designed to feel like you're not closed in the city. It was a little expensive, but it was worth it for the price. The facility was nice. The room looked like it could be a home away from home."

"My mother-in-law is in The Maples Health & Rehabilitation. She likes the food a lot. The facilities are very nice, very spacious, very well-kept and maintained. It's just an overall really nice place. They've got a little bit of everything. They've got movies and bingo. They really try to get people to socialize."

"Melissa, Tara, Bailey, Kelsy (sp? dietary sup), Jeremy (therapy lead), Angie in the bistro, Geno (sp? housekeeping), and I am certain I am missing others........Staff was AMAZING in helping my family in an urgent situation. They accepted my sister in law with open caring arms. I am forever grateful for their kind, caring hearts and the care and attention they give her. Highly recommend :)"

"My mom stayed at Sunterra Springs Springfield for rehab. Our overall experience was pretty good. Everything was brand new. It's beautiful; we could only see through the windows, but I thought it was great. My mom was pretty happy with this facility, so if she's happy then so am I. I thought the staff was always very nice, professional, and polite. I thought they were very good. She also thought the food was very good."

"My friend is at The Maples Health and Rehabilitation. His room is kept clean. There's somebody in there vacuuming every day. The food is good enough to eat. The staff does their job. I don't have any problems with them at all. They all talk to me. However, if we don't get early and get the handicap parking, we have to walk and it's too far for me."

"My mom moved into Springfield Villa. It was so welcoming and clean when I walked in. The facility was beautifully decorated. It was fully staffed. They were cleaning everywhere, and I loved that. It didn't have the smell of a nursing home. The staff was very welcoming and caring. It's a beautiful facility inside and outside. They have a courtyard. They have a beautiful activity room. The activities were posted, and they varied. I was most impressed with the staff. Several of them got down on my mom's level and talked to her. I loved that. They showed caring when they talked to her. The dining room was beautiful. My mom got there at dinnertime, so she went down to dinner. She looked happy and content, so I was happy with that."

"The facility has been wonderful for my grandmother. It is very nice and clean. The staff are very helpful and very nice. My grandmother loves it there and all the activities. There hasn't been one complaint from her yet. If you you had to put your family anywhere this would be the place. I hope this helps someone who is having trouble finding a nursing home. "

"My dad was a resident of Spring Valley Health and Rehabilitation Center. The facilities themselves looked decent and good. He just didn't have enough room to walk around in, and he's a person that can't sit around. At first, he was seeking to find a way out. He didn't have anywhere to go, and it got him frustrated. That's where he got a little bit frustrated and was getting a little bit pushing and things like that. That was the first place we tried, and it didn't work out. They said at first if he got back from the hospital and his meds were taken care of, that he could get back there. But apparently, they couldn't handle him. That wouldn't have been a good place for him anyway; but he's never had any issues, where he's at now. I think they had activities as well there, but as far as their memory care, they just had a very limited area or space. The rooms were nice, and they seem to be fairly clean. I didn't see any issues there. It was just mainly that the memory care was locked down because you can't just let them walk freely, but they didn't have any space or area much to wander. He just moved in there that morning, on that day. He got a little bit frustrated and aggravated; he was pushing a little bit and trying to go in other rooms, trying to get out. He was already kind of confused, to begin with, that morning when we were trying to get him in the facility. It just started a snowball effect, and then he eventually had to be taken by the ambulance back to the hospital. It didn't work out well at all, and they told me that if he and his medication got leveled off, that he would be able to go back, but they refused him. After that, unfortunately, we couldn't find anywhere, because it was in his hospital records, that incident there. I rate it that because, if they couldn't handle him, they should be able to know what to do when these circumstances come. That's what memory care is, it deals even with the worst situations; and they didn't seem to be able to deal with that situation. The director seemed nice, but some of the staff wasn't so much."

"After a two week stay in the Hospital, my father came to ManorCare for rehab. He was a resident for 3 weeks. The MedBridge facility, staff and accommodations were great. Their PT, activities and the socialization of the fellow residents helped Dad recover and go home quicker than expected. We will pick ManorCare again if needed."

"There are several ways in which I was pleased with the facility. It seemed very clean, the residents seem cheerful, and the overall atmosphere was one of caring. However there are days that I am not impressed. For instance the day we brought my aunt in there were several nurses on duty and not one of them offered to help after she was in the building. They did not appear to be busy and we had to ask them several times if we needed something. I have been in there and seen a resident's 'assistance needed' light on for long periods of time with no one coming to aid. This includes an incident with my aunt. There are many friendly and caring people employed here and there are some who are very apathetic and lazy. "

"I went to Ozarks Methodist Manor yesterday. The social worker was able to set up a tour for us. They were amazing. Everybody was super nice. They had the facilities, and the room was perfect. Everything was just really great there. They have all the steps of care there. They have assisted living, independent living, and the other one when you're not able to care for yourself, and stuff like that. They showed us the dining room, too. They have Walmart trips every week. They have a laundry area. They also provide a service where you pay an extra fee per month, and they can do the laundry for you, which is convenient for my friend because he doesn't do his laundry. They provide housekeeping and meals, too. The other place we looked at was $3000, and this place was $3500, so they're only $500 more, but you're getting way more amenities. Everybody seems nice. They have activities all the time. The guys get together every morning, and the women get together, too. It was just really, really nice. I think they have a great thing going. This year is their hundredth year that they've been in business. Everything seems pretty clean. We did not try the food, but the staff said we were more than welcome to come for lunch or something today if we wanted to."

"Maranatha Village was very nice. The people were very nice there. I just fell in love with the place. The main reason I really like it is because it's secluded. It's surrounded by woods and I love that, and it's quiet. They have studios, apartments, and houses. I am looking at a duplex. There's a gathering area. It's beautiful in there, and I really fell in love with it. The staff was great."
