South Haven Residential Care sits in Mineral Point, Missouri, over at 10462 Airport Road, and offers what folks often call assisted living, board and care, and memory care for seniors who need help with the basics but don't need full-time nursing like in a hospital, and it's the type of place that's smaller, more personal, with a focus on dignity and respect, so there's only about 20 living units and a homelike feel. The accommodation choices range from well-equipped studios, one-bedroom apartments, and semi-private units, most come with amenities like ADA-compliant bathrooms and non-slip floors for safety, and if someone needs help getting dressed or showered or eating, the staff helps with that every day. The place handles health needs too, offering free rides to medical appointments, monthly doctor visits, regular RN health checks, medication help, and some specialized care for things like dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and diabetes, so if more advanced help with spoon feeding or transferring is needed, the staff can support that.
The building takes security seriously, with emergency pendants, panic buttons, keyless entry with a keypad, and fully secured grounds, plus awake staff on-site 24 hours, so help's always around if someone needs it at any hour. The rooms and common areas are set up for comfort, with options for private or shared space, pet-friendly policies, patios, manicured gardens and walking paths, all of which residents use to relax and get some fresh air, and there are lots of spaces to gather-a reading room, a game room, arts and crafts studio, a theater room, and a library section. Residents eat chef-prepared meals in the dining room, with all-day snacks and meals made for special needs like allergies or diabetes, and there's laundry, housekeeping, linen service, and bed making to keep things comfortable and clean, so no one needs to worry about those chores if they don't want to.
The center stays busy with daily activities, socials, crafts, movie nights, group trips, and planned birthday or holiday parties, so folks can stay social, and there are wellness programs, physical therapy services, massage, and fitness spaces for those wanting to keep up health routines. There's also computer access, help with making calls, and private dining for families who visit. If someone needs a little extra help moving in, there might even be a moving service available. The staff includes on-call nurses, specialized caregivers, medication assistants, and drivers for scheduled or emergency rides, making sure everyone's needs get handled with care. The place is known for being a supportive environment and puts emphasis on creating a comfortable community for seniors who want to keep their independence but need help day to day, and it's licensed in Missouri under #10529, so there's peace of mind knowing they meet state requirements. Respite care is available if someone just needs short-term help too. The whole setup is about helping seniors live safely, with as much independence as possible, while making sure support is at hand when needed.
