St. James Living Center sits in Saint James, Missouri and offers a wide range of care for older adults, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice care, and even home care, so you can see it covers pretty much everything folks might need as they age. It takes Medicare and Medicaid, so people with different financial situations can use their benefits. The staff provides help with basic daily needs like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and getting around, and there's a healthcare-related alert system in place for emergencies at any hour, plus a 24-hour call system and regular supervision to help keep everybody safe. There's an on-site chef for meals throughout the day, including menus for allergies and diabetes, and folks can eat restaurant-style or pick all-day dining, while private rooms come furnished and have options for private bathrooms and kitchenettes, along with cable TV, Wi-Fi, phone, and air conditioning, which many folks will find important.
For activities, the center offers things like movie nights, music, arts, games, and fitness, along with a library and a garden outdoors for walking and programs when the weather's good, not to mention transportation to doctor appointments with accessible vans, parking, and regular outings. Residents can use the community kitchen, arts room, game room, or fitness room, and folks who need extra help, like for memory issues or those who can't walk, can get specialized care in their wing, with extra supervision and tailored programs, including medication management and personalized care plans for each person.
When it comes to inspections and staffing, St. James Living Center has had 36 total deficiencies and has reported issues with infection control and care planning, along with a nurse turnover rate of 64.8% and just 3.21 nurse hours per resident per day, and its health inspections rate as average but both quality and staffing are rated much below average, which may be worth considering for families thinking about long-term care here. The management has been run by Ltc Management Services Llc since September 2016 and the place is affiliated with James & Judy Lincoln. There's help with moving in, housekeeping, laundry including dry cleaning, and special transportation and parking services, so residents get a good amount of support for daily life. Specialized care, such as adult day services, home health, and outside services brought in by request, are part of what makes this place flexible in meeting unique needs. The center wants every resident to reach their highest well-being-physically, mentally, and emotionally-with programs led under a doctor's supervision and a focus on comprehensive long-term care.
