    Warm, attentive, professional family-like care

    I've been here for years and feel very well cared for - the administrator and staff are warm, attentive and professional, treating residents like family. My private, roomy room is clean and comfortable; nurses and therapy staff helped with recovery and transfer assistance. Lovely gardens, many activities and easy outings, plus Medicare/Medicaid accepted and COVID vaccine access provided at no cost. I recommend this compassionate, family-like place.

    Summary of reviews

    The available reviews portray a facility with a mix of clear strengths and notable operational weaknesses. Positive accounts emphasize compassionate, skilled nursing and therapy staff who work with families to support recovery and ongoing care; several families specifically cited a responsive administrator and an engaged management team. When functioning well, the community offers private, roomy rooms, attractive outdoor spaces and gardens, organized activities and outings, and transfer assistance with Medicare/Medicaid administration — features that families identified as contributing to a welcoming, home-like environment.

    At the same time, a pattern of inconsistent service delivery emerges across reviews. Staffing levels and coverage are uneven, and reviewers described delays in basic caregiving tasks and clinical responsiveness; this is reflected in concerns about pressure-injury prevention and incontinence-care delays as operational issues rather than isolated events. Housekeeping and sanitation standards were described as variable, with additional pest-control and odor concerns noted in some areas. Several accounts raised safety and security issues, including uncontrolled contraband and allegations of theft and financial exploitation, which suggest gaps in oversight and resident protection practices.

    Dining and programming are similarly mixed: some families praised activities, outings, and social engagement, while others described limited or inconsistent programming and variable meal quality and continuity. The physical plant is older and in need of updating in places — reviewers cited deferred maintenance, limited climate control, an aging elevator and worn furnishings — although parts of the facility and private rooms were described as attractive and well-kept. Communication quality and staff conduct were also variable; many families praised respectful, professional interactions, but there are recurring mentions of unprofessional tone and poor communication in other instances.

    Overall, the facility appears to deliver strong person-centered care in many units, driven by dedicated clinical and administrative staff, yet systemic operational issues undermine consistent quality across the campus. Prospective residents and families should weigh the facility’s demonstrated strengths in therapy, management engagement and outdoor amenities against concerns about staffing consistency, sanitation, building maintenance, security controls and clinical monitoring. If considering placement, ask for up-to-date staffing ratios, pest-control and housekeeping protocols, documentation on incident response and security measures, and recent maintenance or renovation plans to assess whether the facility’s highest-performing practices are the norm for the areas you are evaluating.

    About Carrie Elligson Gietner Home

    Carrie Elligson Gietner Home sits in Saint Louis, Missouri, as a large for-profit nursing home where many kinds of care happen under one roof, and it's a contracted facility with registered nurses on staff all day and all night which you know can help when sudden health needs come up, since they've got hospice, memory care, assisted living, independent living, respite care, inpatient and outpatient rehab, and even home care services available alongside general nursing care for seniors, and they've thought about nearly everything a resident might need, like medication help, wound care, IV antibiotics, speech or occupational therapy, physical therapy, dentistry, podiatry, mental health support, nutritional advice, pharmacy, X-ray, and oncology services, all of which come right to you in one place so you don't need to worry about running all over town. They offer rooms ranging from studios to private or shared options, with some kitchens or kitchenettes on site, and handy things like washers and dryers, plus safety features like handicap-accessible bathrooms and a sprinkler system, and every room has a phone, too. Residents get three meals a day with restaurant-style dining, can go to the small library, lounge in the dining room or game and activity rooms, and enjoy amenities like a fitness center, salon, wifi, cable TV, and regular housekeeping, all while staff help with dressing, grooming, laundry, and even daily routines like toileting, which means you can mostly just enjoy your day without fretting much about chores, and if you need a ride, transportation gets handled as well. You can count on physical, respiratory, speech, and occupational therapies, while vaccination against pneumonia has reached 100% among residents, showing their attention to health, and their processes keep hospital trips pretty low, with fewer than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is rare. While folks there might miss having a resident or family council to give feedback, the building stays lively with social, educational, and recreational activities, arts and crafts, health and wellness programs, plus community-based events to help people connect and find friends, because they make sure life doesn't get boring. They accept custom care plans and assessments, encourage new residents to ask about state licenses, inspection records, and to look into what gets covered by insurance, with Medicare or Medicaid an option in some cases. Carrie Elligson Gietner Home earned a B overall and an A in long-term care, so they've got a good standard, making it a place where seniors can live with expert support, steady staff, their own space, and ways to stay active and social, even though perfection's tough to find anywhere.
