Adrian Manor Health & Rehab

Adrian Manor Health & Rehab sits at 402 W 1st St in Adrian, Missouri, a small community about 45 miles south of Kansas City, and it has a newly renovated facility opening in spring 2024 that covers skilled nursing, assisted living, and independent living, including a 12-bed residential care wing for those who need more help with daily tasks like bathing and dressing, and there are licensed nurses on-site round the clock, while everyone gets personal care plans and help managing medications. The facility is focused on long-term skilled nursing and memory care, where they help seniors with Alzheimer's and other dementias, and they have specialized therapy programs for people recovering from strokes, amputations, wounds, or needing IV antibiotics, plus other skilled services like occupational and physical therapy, diabetes management, pain management, and even speech therapy, all coordinated through professional and licensed staff, and you'll also find hospice and respite care if someone needs a short stay. Residents get three meals a day, snacks, and supplies for personal or incontinence care, with meal prep done by a professional chef who takes special diets, like for diabetes, into account, and the dining area uses a restaurant-style setup; there are also private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, with the option for a kitchenette in some apartments, so it feels more like home for those who are independent. The place is part of a nonprofit group called Baptist Homes Healthcare Ministries, and it works on providing "Christlike care for the aging," which sets a tone for the atmosphere without getting overbearing, and they accept both Medicare and Medicaid for financial flexibility right at the Adrian campus, so a range of needs and resources can be accommodated. Meals are served, rooms are kept tidy with housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning, and there are many community amenities like an activity and game room, movie theater, library, arts room, and fitness room, along with a wellness and spa area, fitness and therapy programs, and daily activities or outings planned by professional social staff, which can include walking paths, gardens, and outdoor spaces for fresh air. They also have personal and wheelchair-accessible transport, offer home making services, and have in-house health visits from physicians, dietitians, dentists, podiatrists, optometrists, lab, and audiology, plus routine therapy and mental health checks, and their resident council and family council give a voice to those living there. There aren't any severe deficiencies reported during health and safety inspections, which are checked regularly, and the vaccination rates for flu and pneumonia are nearly perfect, with hospitalizations kept very low and a strong B+ nursing grade. Some residents take anti-anxiety or antipsychotic medicine at higher rates, and there's a noted percentage with pressure ulcers and UTIs, but staff work to manage these concerns, and mobility and autonomy scores hold steady over time. Beds are available in the certified nursing wing, and there's a strong mix of independent living for folks aged 55 or 62 and up, as well as care for those who aren't able to walk on their own. The focus is on keeping people engaged, comfortable, and healthy, with lots of options for support, therapy, and engagement, and supervision is provided at all hours through a call system, personalized care, and a schedule designed so everyone can find something to do or someone to talk to any day of the week.
