    Clean, caring staff; poor leadership

    I saw firsthand how clean the facility is and how caring, skilled, and helpful the staff and therapists were during recovery, but I'm concerned about poor leadership from the DON, a lack of compassion for workers, and high staff turnover.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is mixed but leans positive with important caveats. Multiple reviewers highlight the quality of hands-on care: staff are described as caring, friendly, helpful, and effective at supporting patients through recovery. Skilled therapists are singled out repeatedly, and reviewers specifically note good outcomes during the rehabilitation or recovery process. The facility itself is described as clean, and visitors or reviewers enjoyed learning about the facility during visits or tours, which suggests a generally welcoming physical environment and informative staff interactions during admissions or tours.

    Care quality and therapy services emerge as clear strengths. The mention of "skilled therapists" and that staff are "good with patient during recovery" point to a robust rehabilitation program and competent clinical staff who can facilitate short-term recovery and rehabilitation needs. Statements that the facility "takes good care of residents" reinforce that direct care (nursing aides, therapists, and other clinical staff) is viewed positively by multiple reviewers.

    At the same time, a consistent negative theme concerns management and workforce issues. Reviews cite a "lack of compassion for workers," "poor leadership from the DON," and concerns about staff turnover. This creates a notable contrast: frontline caregivers receive praise for the care they provide, yet there are complaints about leadership and worker treatment. That pattern suggests the possibility of motivated and caring direct-care staff operating under strained or unstable management conditions. High turnover and leadership problems can threaten continuity of care, staff morale, and long-term program stability even when day-to-day care appears strong.

    Facility-related comments are limited but positive: cleanliness and friendly interactions during visits are reported. There are no comments in these summaries about dining, activities, social programming, medical outcomes beyond rehab, physician coverage, or other operational details, so those areas remain unassessed by the available reviews.

    Given the pattern of praise for direct care alongside concerns about leadership and turnover, prospective residents and families should weigh both sides. The reviews support expectations of compassionate bedside care and effective therapy services, but also raise red flags about management and workforce stability that could affect long-term experience. If considering this facility, ask administrators for current staff retention statistics, recruitment/turnover trends, details about Director of Nursing tenure and role, staffing ratios (including RN coverage), and how the facility supports and trains staff. It would also be useful to speak with current residents or families, observe shift changes if possible, and confirm specifics about therapy programs, activities, and dining—topics not covered in these summaries. Overall, the facility appears to deliver strong direct care and rehab services in a clean environment, but management and staff retention issues merit further inquiry before making a placement decision.

    About Lebanon South Nursing & Rehab

    Lebanon South Nursing & Rehab sits at 514 West Fremont Road in Lebanon, Missouri, and offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care for residents with dementia and Alzheimer's. The facility provides 116 certified beds and carries an average daily census of about 74 residents, with amenities like outdoor courtyards and common spaces that help give the place a homelike feeling for both short-term and long-term stays. Residents get care from trained nurses and therapists, with services in physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with specialty wound care, memory support, nutritional services, pharmacy, psychological consultations, transportation for medical appointments via handicapped accessible vans, and programs for hospice, IV therapy, and peritoneal dialysis when needed. Care plan coordinators and family teaching programs support personalized care, aiming to respect dignity and promote independence. Staff help with personal needs 24 hours a day, and the facility tries to support each resident's mental, physical, and social well-being through a range of daily social activities and events that encourage fellowship and participation. The ownership and management group, LTC Management Services LLC, has run the facility since 2014, and the home operates under Element 74. Staffing features nurse coverage of 2.78 hours per resident per day, which is below the state average, and there's been a higher-than-average turnover for nursing staff. State inspections over the years have reported various deficiencies, including issues with infection control and treatment according to orders, and while the facility continues to operate as a trusted local resource for seniors, oversight and improvements in some care areas remain important.
