Northview Village sits in Saint Louis, Missouri, right at 2415 N Kings Highway Blvd, and has long served people in the community who need more help than most, especially those with low incomes, hard-to-place residents, and folks on Medicaid. It's a large place with 320 beds, making it the biggest long-term care facility in Missouri, and it takes in both men and women aged 25 and up, including people with serious medical and mental health needs like schizophrenia, PTSD, and dementia. The facility has a secure memory care unit for residents with advanced Alzheimer's and dementia, and staff get extra training to handle memory issues, while a Code Alert System helps keep everyone safe. Care teams made up of registered nurses provide 24-hour support, including help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and daily living.
Northview Village offers skilled nursing, long-term rehabilitation, assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, hospice, rehabilitation services, and even home care, and families can pick from a range of room types like studios, semi-private, companion, or shared rooms, with each space having private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and things like cable TV, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning. Folks can decorate their rooms to feel more at home. There are also outdoor spaces like walking paths, courtyards, gardens, and a patio, plus communal lounges, a movie theater, arts and game rooms, and activity spaces for things like gentle fitness classes, puzzles, music, or cards. Residents often stay active with social events, outings, and programs that help bring people together, and the kitchen serves restaurant-style meals, with a professional chef making food that fits dietary needs, including diabetes and allergy-sensitive diets.
On-site services include occupational, speech, and physical therapy, radiology, lab work, and a barbershop and beauty salon, and the place stays close to medical centers and places of worship. Northview Village also offers transportation and parking, along with move-in coordination, housekeeping, and laundry. Care here can get intense, from mental health rehabilitation to memory care or post-surgical nursing, and the staff works closely with local hospitals, VA centers, and community resources, and holds resident and family councils to hear concerns and improve the home.
Northview Village has a troubled record when it comes to government rules and safety and has received a one-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is the lowest possible. Since March 2021, the home's had federal fines topping $140,000, and government groups, unions, elected officials, and faith leaders have kept a close eye on it through investigations and committees. Advocacy keeps coming up, especially during its shutdowns, and the home responded by hosting emergency job fairs and setting up a Displaced Worker Fund, along with job training and unemployment support for staff who lost their jobs, making it clear there's been a lot to fix.
Northview Village remains known for taking in people with few other options, especially those with both health and behavior issues, and it tries to build a friendly, clean, and supportive environment where residents, family, and even pets are welcome. The focus stays on meeting daily needs, giving 24-hour care, and helping folks keep as much independence as they can manage.
