St. Joseph Chateau sits at 811 North 9th Street in St. Joseph, Missouri, and offers skilled nursing and senior care with room for up to 69 residents, usually seeing about 67 residents each day, and people there can choose semi-private or private rooms fitted with safety features, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and basics like cable TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and telephones, so most needs get met in the room, but there's plenty to do out and about, with spaces like an arts room, movie theater, library, spa, fitness room, activity rooms, and a big event area for things like talent shows, art shows, and even weddings or anniversaries if folks want to make use of them. The facility accepts Medicare and Medicaid and offers different levels of care-short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, independent living, assisted living, and memory care, with a focus on making everything comfortable, safe, and homelike, and there's support for Alzheimer's and dementia, as well as complex and chronic medical care; so residents benefit from 24-hour nursing, medication help, wound care, IV therapy, dialysis, diabetes management, pulmonary and post-surgical recovery, plus physical, occupational, and speech therapies that cover folks coming back from the hospital or surgery.
Staff there-run by North 9 Th Street Consulting LLC and Krista Clark since June 2023 and owned by VHS MO Opco Holdings LLC-offer ongoing infection control and a pest control program, both meant to keep the place in shape for everyone, and inspections have found some infection-related deficiencies but routines are in place to address these. Safety's top of mind, with a 24-hour call system and supervision, so help is always close at hand, and these days people need flexible care, so St. Joseph Chateau has in-house nursing, home care, home health, adult care, and respite stays whenever families need a hand or a break. Residents get meals from a professional chef with all-day options and heart-healthy snacks, and special diets, like for diabetes or allergies, don't pose a problem, and dining takes place in a community room that tries to feel a little like going out, with housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services there so residents don't have to worry about chores. There are wellness programs, a spa, a fitness center, and events to keep active-movie nights, music, group outings, and resident-led clubs-and residents can visit a salon and barbershop, enjoy outdoor gardens, walking paths, and even join in on pet-friendly activities since the community considers all pets.
St. Joseph Chateau runs under the guidance of Vertical Health Services, has ties to the Missouri Health Care Association, and dates back to operations started by Saxton Care Centers in 1939, so there's a long track record behind it. The team helps with daily activities like bathing, dressing, moving around, and more, and there's plenty of planning help and family support, whether for short-term stays, hospice, adult day programs, or more involved needs like cardiac, orthopedic, respiratory, and neurological care. Support and referral services go along with specialized clinical programs, and the staff works to protect residents' rights and keep the place welcoming for all. Residents stay involved, with choices about activities and comforts, aiming to help each person live comfortably and safely no matter how much care they need, and there's always transportation available for those who want to get out and about in the community.
