Appleton City Manor

Appleton City Manor sits in Appleton City, Missouri and provides skilled nursing, assisted living, and rehabilitation for older adults, and with sixty beds, there's usually about thirty-six people living in the building, and it takes Medicare and Medicaid for payment, which helps folks with different finances, and some rooms are private, while others are shared or semi-private, and you can pick from studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, suites, and companion rooms, all of them coming with bathrooms, smoke alarms, safety and disabled access features, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, and the staff handles laundry, dry cleaning, move-in coordination, housekeeping, and will help with bathing, dressing, and medicines when needed. The Manor gives residents three meals a day made by a chef, serves food in a dining room, and offers special diets if you need them. People who live there or visit get free transportation around the area for doctor appointments or errands, and folks have access to a game room, movie theater, activity room, communal spaces, a fitness area, a spa and wellness room, walking paths, a library, and outdoor spaces to enjoy. There are daily activities, arts and crafts, music, social events, movie nights, and resident-run clubs or gatherings, where people can stay busy and meet others. Appleton City Manor helps families and residents with counseling, and they offer therapies like speech, occupational, and physical therapy, plus nursing care for people who spend most of their time in bed, wound care, medication help, and hospice care, and the staff provides around-the-clock supervision and a call system for safety, plus medical staff hours each day although those hours aren't detailed, and there's on-call maintenance when repairs are needed. There's a history of good safety and health checks, and inspectors gave the place a B for their last review, and they score a B+ in minimizing big falls, have programs to stop pressure sores, and give about 88 percent of the residents pneumonia shots, and their long-term care keeps hospital visits low, though the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services gave them a 1-star nursing home rating, so that's something to keep in mind.
