The Best Nursing Home Communities in Saint Francois County, MO

"My mom moved into St. Joe Manor. I liked the friendliness all around, and even the residents were very positive. We got to interview or talk with residents too, and they just love the place. The staff were very kind. They even helped us move the supplies and furniture that my mom needed. Everything was really topnotch and very professional. They were nothing but kind and courteous the entire time. They invited us to sit down and eat with family there. It was very good food. It was very clean, and there were very courteous people serving. It was very good. I would say it's a fair value for money."

"My brother was a resident for about a month on hospice care at this facility. I was in and out several times a week at different hours between the morning, afternoon, and evening. The staff was friendly, caring, and attentive to the residents needs. The residents seemed happy. They were able to get out of the rooms and socialize. The facility itself is a little older, but they are updating it. The rooms are decent sized. And there was never a smell of urine or any other foul Odor. The food was decent. When it came to my brother’s end of life, they made sure my needs were met as well. They brought me food and drinks, and they checked on me constantly to make sure I was OK while I stayed with my brother until he passed."

"Potosi Manor was very cluttered and disorganized. We did not see anyone. We were not introduced to any of the staff, except one individual. It felt like it was very rigid and very impersonal. They refused us. We talked to one administrator and an office aide; we did not get to interact with anyone else. The rooms were OK. The restrooms were not close by for a person who needed them. The male to female ratio was far higher (like one in eight) in that facility."

"My father was admitted in the nursing home area for rehab following a stay at Barnes hospital. He did not have the strength to get up and down and needed rehab. He was left on the toilet for hours as punishment because he couldn't get up. He fell and was left on the floor for 2 hours because he couldn't get up. Workers were cruel and demeaning. There was no dignity here. DO NOT bring your loved ones here. I wouldn't bring a dog I hated to this facility's nursing home! I am in the process of filing with state of MO. "

"My mother moved to the assisted living facility of StoneBridge The Villas in De Soto. Currently, we're dealing with an air conditioner issue. We're having a major heat wave, and they don;t have control over the temperatures in their own apartments. It's an older facility, and they're doing the best that they can, out of the circumstances, because everyone's air conditioners are struggling with this heat. The staff members were just really easy to work with. The social worker we were working with was working great and allowed things to go as easily as possible. They also have the nursing care people, they do the OT and PT, and they can even do the labs and some of the other stuff there. It's just been a great experience so far. My mom is 84 and extremely picky about food. Within the first week that she was there, I ate a couple of meals with her, because family members are allowed to eat with their relatives if they choose to, and they don't charge you for that. In my opinion, the food was good. They're home-cooked meals, the kind of meals that I would have had when I was growing up. My mom positively loves them, overall. She said they're really good, although sometimes, they overcook the breakfast just a bit. They have a library section with large prints, and they are changed every so often by the city library that we have in De Soto. They also have an activity room. They do activities, although not as many as some other places might have. They have an 8:30 exercise class for anyone who wants to do it, and they always have something at 11 o'clock. It could be games or some kind of a mental activity that keeps the brain active and working well. I would call that a memory enhancement activity. They have something in the afternoon, too. They do a lot of bingo, and there is a small area where they can watch DVDs and movies. They can even do a movie night if they want to. They have a puzzle section there, with all these huge puzzles that they can work on if they want to, any time during the day. They also have a lot of individual types of stuff. They have exercise and equipment in the rehab. They are keeping the place very clean. The maintenance people are amazing. They're there Monday through Friday. You don't see them as much on the weekends, but they will come in for emergencies. It's not a top-of-the-line fancy facility, but this one is inclusive with its price. Everything is included, even my mom's hair getting washed and styled by a beautician. They even do nails there, as well. You can't compare it to the big fancy places that have a theater built in with the seats and the screen. This facility is more of a home-type theater, like when your family sits down to watch a movie. It's going to be that kind of a theater experience. I've lived here since '95, and I've taught here since '84, and it's been here that long. It's gone through different name changes. It was built as a recreation place, way back, so it is not a brand new facility. Aside from the price, we chose this place because my mom liked it when she toured it. They also have a number of different apartment set ups. They're individual, so you do not have to share with someone else. You just pick the size that fits you and your budget. Having her own patio outside was also a big decision because not all of the rooms have that. Another thing is the location. It's right here where we live, so it's really close."

"My Aunt is here the staff goes out of the way to help my Aunt ,my Aunt feels right at home always a pleasure to come and visit the food is great"

"My grandpa loved. Crystal Oaks unsure at first, but the way staff made him feel he was a part of the family he loved when he would go out with family in on holidays and weekends he would worry about getting back home. No better feeling that caring and loving staff are out there he passed peacefully with his family including the Crystal oaks staff by his side. Excellent rehab as both grandparents spent time on it. Thanks for all those hard working ladies and gentleman for such great care from nurses, aides, transport, housekeeping, therapy, activities and management."

"My mother has been in Fountainbleau Nursing Center since October. The facility is very clean. It's a single floor unit that has four wings, with 10 rooms in each wing. It also has a memory care unit which is what we needed, and it is close to where I live. My mom was allowed to have her own furniture in her room . The staff is very attentive and would report to me about how she's doing as far as her participation and her acceptance, medical care, among other things. They have activities like trivia, bingo, card games, bowling, and Bible readings. "

"My mom was a resident of Festus Manor for over 18 months, and I can't tell you how fantastic the whole staff was with her and her many needs. The entire time she was there the staff was attentive to not only her needs but the families also. The rehab staff, nurses and administrators all made our time with mom there the best we could have asked for. Thank you all!"
