Riverview Nursing Center

Riverview Nursing Center in Mokane, Missouri, is a smaller facility with space for about 40 residents, and it has rooms set up for short-term rehab, long-term care, and therapy, with each room including a private bathroom, toiletries, cable television, and Wi-Fi, which makes it comfortable while you recover or stay long term, and they do have kitchenettes, telephones, and air conditioning in the rooms for convenience. This place helps people who need help going from the hospital back home with short-term rehab and also helps those who need nursing home or intermediate care due to health needs, with a skilled nursing staff on-site day and night for medication management, bathing, dressing, transfers, and help with other daily tasks, and non-ambulatory care, and there's always 24-hour supervision if someone needs it. Riverview offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus specialized care programs such as lab, podiatry, vision, psychiatric, and wound care, which helps folks who need more than basic support, and they do accept Medicaid and Medicare, so more people can get help here if they need it. For meals, there's a dining room with restaurant-style service, a professional chef, and meals planned for special dietary needs like diabetes and allergies, with options all day, and they try to focus on nutritious, balanced diets made with good ingredients. Residents can get transportation for appointments or outings, which makes things easier, and there are scheduled daily activities like movie nights, arts and music programs, fitness classes, walking paths outdoors, resident-run games or activities, and a garden to enjoy, so there's a good bit to do if anyone wants to join in. The facility has community spaces like a game room, movie theater, business room, spa area, library, activity and arts rooms, parking areas, outdoor spaces, and an emergency alert system for safety, and they offer move-in support and regular housekeeping so residents can settle in and focus on their care or therapy. Staff tries to treat residents and families with dignity and respect, creating a homelike and family-friendly environment that makes folks feel more comfortable, and there's a local advisor service for questions about their services. Still, it's important to know that inspection reports over the years have found 18 total deficiencies, including issues with infection control, care planning, and resident safety, plus problems protecting residents' belongings or money, so families may want to review the reports for peace of mind. Nurse turnover has been at about 65%, with about 3 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, so care levels may shift sometimes, but registered nurses and other licensed staff are there daily to help with health needs, and the focus does remain on helping those with serious or ongoing health problems. Riverview Nursing Center belongs to Circle B Enterprises Holding Company Inc., so it runs as a for-profit business, with a clear dedication to long-term and short-term care for older adults. The facility provides a variety of personalized amenities and services but has also faced oversight and staffing challenges.
