Ellisville Rehab and Nursing sits in Ellisville, Missouri, with 210 certified beds and an average of 117 residents each day, and the building spreads across 14 scenic acres with water features and landscaped grounds, which folks notice right away, so right when you walk in, you see the bright, spacious rooms and plenty of cozy communal spots, and there's a family-like, relaxed feel thanks to the friendly staff and warm decor. This is a skilled nursing facility owned by Ellisville Opco Holdco LLC and run by names like Michael Barth, Elazar Fischer, Sarina Phatak, Aharon Stern, and Simon Stern, and they've changed owners in the last year. There are dining rooms on every floor, and the private apartments are set up for comfort and convenience. Certified nursing staff, 24-hour nursing care and security, and a team with physicians, an on-site medical director, therapists for physical, speech, occupational, and recreational help, plus pharmacists, dieticians, and social workers work here, and nurse aides, bath aides, and companions provide personal assistance when needed. Folks can get short-term rehab if they need help before going home after a hospital stay, and respite care is an option for temporary support, and full-time long-term care is available for the very frail or those who need regular nursing care.
There's also a memory care community with trained staff for people with Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's disease, and it includes a secure outdoor area where residents can spend time outside safely. The facility offers hospice care as well. Care plans are personalized with a focus on comfort and holistic needs, and the staff aims to give support around the clock. There are plenty of activities to meet residents' interests, and the place tries to keep a welcoming, home-like feel for everyone.
Still, it's important to know that as of November 26, 2024, the latest inspection cited 14 deficiencies, including some for not providing proper treatment, following care orders, and handling pain safely, along with some infection control problems. The nurse turnover rate is high at 64.5%, and nurse staffing runs about 3.52 nurse hours per resident each day, so staff do their best with the people they have. Folks looking into Ellisville Rehab and Nursing should ask about recent inspection reports, ongoing staff changes, and how the team handles any concerns, since good care depends a lot on those things. The facility is set up to handle skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory support in a single location, and offers comfortable living in a scenic and friendly environment, but it's best to visit in person to see if it feels like the right fit.
