Amedisys Home Health of St. Louis helps older adults and people with health needs in their own homes, offering skilled nursing, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as home health aide support, personal care, and memory care, and you'll see that these services are given by a care team following the doctor's instructions, all while using electronic health records for good care coordination, and with 24/7 on-call staff for urgent needs, so someone's always available when help is needed. The staff includes nurses, therapists, social workers, and aides-all medically trained-and they come to homes across St. Louis, St. Charles, Franklin, Jefferson, and St. Louis City counties, but you'll also find them working from their main office at 10805 Sunset Office Dr., Suite L101, in St. Louis, as well as offices in Wentzville and Hillsboro, so they cover a pretty good area, and they also have support through the social care platform for extra help in managing daily life or social needs. The care team can help with things like recovery from illness, surgery, or living with long-term conditions, and their programs cover palliative care for easing symptoms of tough illnesses and hospice care for end-of-life support, and these include both physical and emotional care, sometimes even spiritual support, all tailored to what each person wants or needs. They have hospital-level skilled nursing care at home, through Contessa, an Amedisys company, and that's especially for people with serious health conditions who'd rather stay at home than go to the hospital.
There's some nice practical stuff too, like home health aides who help with bathing, dressing, and housework, and people offering companionship when family can't always be there, and for those who want to move around safely there are accessible bathrooms, emergency call systems, wheelchairs access, and smoke detectors, plus most places have Wi-Fi if you want it. At their community, they try to make life comfortable with things like full kitchens, places for families to gather, gardens and courtyards, health and wellness centers, laundry rooms, media rooms, and even libraries, and it's pet-friendly, so you might see a dog or cat around. The St. Louis office especially stands out because it's close to pharmacies, doctors, lots of restaurants, a theater, parks, and churches, making it easy for visits and outings when people feel up for it-Spellman Park, Des Peres Park, and Blackburn Park are all nearby, as well as cafes like Starbucks and several places of worship for those who want to keep up with their faith.
Amedisys Home Health of St. Louis is connected with several other groups like Beacon Hospice, Central Home Health Care, and others, and it's accredited by organizations like Accreditation Canada, CAHC, and CARF, which means they've passed outside checks for quality. They take Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance, which helps with the costs, and they partner with groups like the Home Care Association of America. They adjust each healthcare plan for the person, using the latest research and medical equipment, and always try to keep the patient at the center of decisions, so services really do shift to fit changing needs, whether for short-term recovery or more ongoing care.
