St Elizabeth Care Center is a senior living facility in St. Elizabeth, Missouri, with 63 assisted living units and a 50-plus-bed nursing facility, and folks can choose studio units, one-bedrooms, or shared living spaces, so there's some variety there for different needs or budgets. They do have around-the-clock nursing care and 24/7 emergency response, and the staff includes licensed nurses who are on call and help with skilled nursing services like tube feeding, wound care, insulin injections, and post-surgical care, and they also do medication administration and monthly IM injections if that's something a resident needs. People can get restorative and rehabilitation therapy here, like physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognition-related therapy, and they even have a women's physical rehab unit for more focused treatment. The center also helps residents with more specialized care and has services for Parkinson's disease and manual feeding, and the facility does handle complex medical and mental health needs, including psychiatric care, with visiting specialists for psychiatric treatment, dental, podiatry, and vision needs.
They plan activities for residents, putting together games, movies, picnics, concerts, arts and crafts, and other events to keep folks engaged, and there's a wellness center, chapel service, and a reading room. They run transportation vans for errands and trips to local attractions or community events, plus escorts are available within the building for those who need a little extra help getting around. There are three meals a day prepared with therapeutic diets available for folks who have health concerns, and their staff can provide manual feeding if required. Laundry and linen service gets taken care of in-house, plus there's an on-site pharmacy for prescriptions and even a barber and beauty shop when someone needs a haircut or a bit of pampering without going far. Small pets are allowed, which can mean a lot to someone who's used to their furry companion. Security is in place around the clock, so families can have some peace of mind about safety.
People who want to stay only a short time, maybe for rehabilitation or when caregivers are away, can get respite care-they'll do a personalized service assessment to see what support is needed. There are both independent living and assisted living options, and the building is part of a bigger network of senior care in Saint Elizabeth. The staff here also helps with case management and provides social services, so when a resident needs help connecting to outside resources or navigating health insurance, that's something the center can help with too. Residents can also visit an on-site physician's clinic and use online communication tools like Facebook, Instagram, or Messenger if they want to stay in touch with family. Each unit includes amenities like a flat screen TV, access to a community kitchen, and a full activities program, so folks have something to do and ways to stay comfortable. Rayn Evans is the designated administrator for the care center.
