Country View Nursing Facility sits in Missouri and works as a large senior living community with both assisted living and skilled nursing care, and you'll find about 37 residents in 60 certified beds, so there's a moderate number of people here compared to the space available, which can give folks some room. They help with basics like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and getting around, and they do have around-the-clock staff on site to assist, which means someone's usually there to help, though staff does have a habit of missing call lights and not always responding right away, as the nursing department often stays pretty disorganized and you'll hear that they're neglectful toward residents' daily needs, and sometimes it feels like the staff at the nursing station treat it more like their own staff room than a care hub for residents. Families can use resident and family councils to give feedback, and the administration's open to comments, but changes haven't shown up in any large way, and the place stays in a bit of a disarray, with the care environment often seeming overwhelmed and not especially attentive.
When it comes to services, they've got nursing care, inpatient rehab, occupational therapy, diabetes and medication management, and they can help folks in different stages of Alzheimer's or dementia, including memory care, and they do take both Medicare and Medicaid for payment. The place isn't a continuing care retirement community and doesn't sit inside a hospital, but they're for-profit and part of a larger ownership group that runs several nursing homes. For living, residents get furnished apartments with private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and access to Wi-Fi, and there's help with cleaning, laundry, and maintenance, plus a meal program with one to two prepared meals a day and restaurant-style dining and special diets for people who need them, though sometimes meals don't always meet preferences or needs exactly.
Social life centers around daily activities, movie nights, arts and crafts, gardening, games, hobby rooms, and outings when transportation's set up, and there's a fitness room and even a wellness spa. Residents can use outdoor paths and gardens, and there are activity rooms and a small library too. Family support services are present, and there's someone in charge of helping with move-ins and minor coordination tasks. The staff includes registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, therapists, and licensed pharmacists who check medications monthly, though staffing hours are on the lower end for nurses compared to some other places, which may explain part of the care issues.
Country View keeps up with health rules by giving flu shots to all long-stay residents and pneumococcal vaccines to nearly all, aiming to keep infections down, but government inspections haven't always been favorable, as grades have bounced from A to F, and fines have been high, with three deficiencies showing up without putting residents in direct immediate danger, but still serious enough for inspectors to notice. The place's got fire sprinklers, doesn't offer every amenity under the sun, but there's enough in place for most basic needs. Folks usually come here if they're 55 or older, and the community tries to support seniors who want to stay active, though some days things just feel a bit hectic. The team works with residents and families to handle money safely, supports resident rights, and brings in programs to help pay for care costs. Even though there's a promise of quality life and lots of services, daily experiences may vary a fair bit, with the environment often feeling busy, a bit scattered, and in need of better organization overall.
