The Estates of Spanish Lake Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility, located at 610 Prigge Rd in St. Louis, offers care for older adults and those with medical needs, covering a whole range of services from short-term rehab and long-term care to palliative and hospice care for people facing chronic illness, dementia, or needing end-of-life support, and you'll see people come here for memory support, post-surgery rehabilitation, cardiac care, and stroke recovery, with staff on hand round the clock to help with medication, daily tasks, transfers, and more serious health problems that need skilled nursing. The facility has 150 certified beds, available as private or semi-private suites with private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, phones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi-they let folks bring personal items to make their space feel like home, which does help folks settle in, and the 24-hour call system means staff can respond quickly if needed.
Families seem to notice that the staff has nurses, social workers, physical therapists, speech and occupational therapists, plus outside specialists such as a physician wound specialist, podiatrists, and optometrists, which allows for services like complex wound care, diabetic teaching, colostomy care, IV therapies, and cardiac and renal management, including things like cardiac vest and dialysis transport. In addition, there's a Geriatric Behavior Management Program in a secured unit for residents who need behavioral support, and that area is managed by specially trained nurses and social workers to help maintain safety and dignity for everyone involved, and that's important for folks with dementia or behavioral problems. Rehabilitation is really a key focus, using therapies to help residents try to regain abilities after injuries, surgeries, or strokes, and there's support for cognitive retraining and activities of daily living if someone's function has changed.
The memory care program helps people with dementia, and the environment feels friendly, with a sense of routine and security; they aim to keep people engaged with daily activities and social events, and families can join resident councils or family councils to help improve the quality of care, which is something that seems to matter to the staff. Dining comes in a restaurant-style setting where residents can choose from all-day menus, and meals are made by a professional chef with special diets for diabetes or allergies; services also include meal preparation, housekeeping, furnished rooms, emergency alert systems, move-in help, and other comforts. Amenities range wide-outdoor common space, gardens, walking paths, library, game and movie rooms, arts and music spaces, a wellness spa and sauna, plus fitness facilities and various scheduled programs to keep folks busy, with high-speed internet so families can stay connected.
For health care, there's a 24-hour pharmacy, onsite lab, and X-ray, plus equipment for ultrasound and EKGs, and they offer transport for treatments like dialysis. Residents with higher medical needs get continuous monitoring and help, while folks staying for rehab can expect personalized care plans focused on regaining strength or independence, with the hope of going home or just improving quality of life. Payment options cover Medicare, Medicaid, private pay, and private insurance, and there's financial assistance for those who qualify. Educational opportunities are available too, such as CNA courses, insulin training, and online resources for residents, families, and staff. The administration, with Katina Hawkins as the administrator, is run by Estates of Spanish Lake, LLC, and the facility has a clear mission and values statement, offers Board-led oversight, community engagement, and online event calendars to keep residents and families informed. The Estates of Spanish Lake tries to create a welcoming, supportive place where the focus stays on comfort, health, and the daily routines that help people feel secure and cared for, right there in the St. Louis area, 24 hours a day.
