Winchester Residential Care, Inc, sometimes called Winchester Nursing Center, sits at 400 Winchester Drive in Bernie, Missouri, about 9 miles outside Dexter, and has 38 licensed beds for seniors. The facility offers assisted living, memory care for those with cognitive needs, skilled nursing care, nursing home services, independent living options for folks who want more autonomy, and home care, so it covers quite a broad range of care types that cater to different needs and stages of aging. There's specialized care for residents with diabetes, help for those who need assistance with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, plus non-ambulatory care for people who have trouble walking or getting around. People living here have access to incontinence care, 24-hour supervision, and a call system for emergencies, which helps keep residents safe and gives families some peace of mind.
Residents can spend time in indoor common areas, a community room for events, and enjoy resident-run activities or groups if they want to. There are various on-site activities, from games and exercise programs to on-site and off-site devotional gatherings. Staff organize transportation for appointments or outings, and pharmacies are located nearby for easy medication access. For meals, Winchester has a dining room with all-day options, restaurant-style service, and meals prepared for special diets, including diabetic and allergy-friendly choices. Housekeeping and laundry services, including dry cleaning, help residents manage chores, and there's an on-site barber and salon for haircuts and grooming.
A variety of studio-style rooms are available, most coming with basic furnishings, and the community features a library, walking paths, a garden, a movie room, and offers activities sponsored by the community for social engagement. Neighborhood information helps families explore nearby amenities and services that go along with the location. The administrator, Kimberley Dunning, oversees day-to-day operations and works to ensure the environment remains comfortable and supportive for everyone. Winchester Residential Care, Inc, focuses on providing long-term, non-acute care, but it isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, so it doesn't accept Medicare as payment for care. The goal's really to provide safety, comfort, and personal care tailored to each resident, and the staff try to help each person keep as much independence as possible for as long as possible.
