Green Acres Residential Care Facility, LLC, also called an Adult Family Home or sometimes a Personal Care Home, sits in a cozy, private residential house with a bed capacity of 10 or fewer, and since opening in 1983, it's focused on giving residents a comfortable, safe place where they can get help with daily living. Managed by Holly Green and Ms. Lisa Shearin, Green Acres holds Missouri license #17289 and runs as an Adult Family Home with an A+ BBB rating in Greater Missouri and Southern Illinois, although it's not BBB accredited. Residents find furnished living spaces with choices that include shared quarters, one-bedroom units, and studio suites, plus amenities like cable, WiFi, large screen TVs, and a game room for fun and social time, and a bistro for casual meals or snacks. There's a courtyard, garden, and walking paths, and when the weather's nice, you'll find folks sitting outside or taking strolls. The facility offers twelve assisted living units set up for privacy and comfort, all equipped with in-room emergency systems for safety and 24-hour staff support and supervision to make sure help's always close.
A big piece of life at Green Acres is their sense of community, and they work to make everyone feel like they belong, with common areas for gathering, community-sponsored activities, movie nights, and daily schedules that include recreation, games, and chapel services, along with group meals served in a bright dining room. Mealtime comes with options for special dietary needs like allergy-friendly or diabetes diets, and an on-site dietitian helps with personalized meal plans, plus all-day dining if someone needs a snack outside regular hours. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services come standard, and Green Acres arranges transportation for medical appointments and doctor visits, making sure people don't have to worry about missing care-they also coordinate with healthcare providers on medications and health changes, run regular health assessments, manage medications, help with bathing, dressing, and transfers, and offer continence management and dementia-specific support, including dementia-friendly menus and caregivers who understand memory loss. Residents get personal care services tailored to what each person needs, with individual care plans and regular check-ins, and if a family caregiver needs a break, Green Acres provides respite care for short-term stays.
Pets are welcome if certain conditions are met, and there's parking for family members who visit. Security matters, so the building has 24/7 secured premises and wheelchair accessibility everywhere, along with emergency alert systems in rooms. Specialized support covers non-ambulatory care, help with mobility, and physical therapy services. Regular activities and social time help keep everyone involved, which is part of Green Acres' goal to promote independence and well-being, even for those who need a lot of help. With a focus on comfort, belonging, and safety, Green Acres offers seniors a place to live where their needs are met, and their days feel a little easier.
