Annie's House

Annie's House in Marble Hill, MO is a Residential Care Facility licensed to serve adults aged 21 and older, providing assisted living services for up to 40 people in private one-bedroom units with shared gender-specific bathrooms-eight for women and eight for men-which means that each resident has a private bedroom but uses a shared bathroom depending on their gender. The place helps folks with daily activities like bathing and dressing, handles medication management, serves meals, and offers personal care, and the staff is always around to make sure everyone's safe and comfortable, with a Medical Supervisor who oversees all medical and psychiatric care. The community looks after people with mental and physical disabilities, including those who use SS or SSI or have insurance when they move in, and the focus is really on long-term care, memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and even skilled nursing for folks who need more medical help, like wound care or rehabilitation. There are special supports around Medicaid too, including Medicaid Estate Planning, Asset Protection, Application Processing, and Medicaid Care Placement, which helps families and residents figure out the best way to pay for care and keep spouses from losing everything if one of them needs full-time help. Annie's House tries to keep life interesting, with weekly trips to the store, restaurants, and fun spots like the zoo, conservation areas, Six Flags, or family fun centers, and every year the staff organizes big outings like camping trips or trips across the country to places like Branson, New York City, Florida, California, and Tennessee. Two dogs, Bailey the Australian Shepherd/Husky mix and Cooper, are there for comfort, and sometimes Cooper visits when the owner or staff are there, which folks seem to like a lot. The place offers respite stays to give family caregivers a short break, and supports communication so residents can keep up with friends and family outside the building. Annie's House has a tradition of community and hands-on care, and the staff, who are described as nurturing and experienced, do their best to create a safe, welcoming place where residents can be as independent as possible and take part in social activities.
