Roaring River Health And Rehabilitation sits at 812 Old Exeter Road in Cassville, Missouri, and gives care for people who need extra help, whether for a short time after a hospital stay or for a longer stretch when living at home isn't safe anymore, and the building has room for 90 people though most days about 58 live there, with choices for semi-private or private rooms depending on what folks want and need. The nursing staff is on duty all day and night, offering skilled care, including physical therapy and other rehabilitation, and they really work on making a personal plan for each person, taking into account medical needs and things that help their body and mind feel better. Meals come in a café-style setting, which helps make eating a bit more pleasant, and everyone gets regular chances to take part in events, clubs, and special dining settings, plus the building has both safe indoor and outdoor spots for people to gather, talk, or sit quietly.
They accept both Medicare and Medicaid, which can help cover the cost, and the staff is trained to follow rules for infection control and long-term care, though over the years inspectors found some problems, like not always giving treatment as ordered or according to what residents prefer, and there have been cases that didn't meet infection control rules set by federal standards, but management has changed hands a few times with Lora Kuhl and Sarah Olson now watching over things. Every few months, staff invite residents and families for conferences to look over care plans and make changes if needed, and they also keep a calendar of activities and offer a virtual tour for families who can't visit right away. Services include help with daily living, rehab for regaining strength and independence, and even help with things like dental care, and there's an aim to keep everyone part of the local community by offering access to local entertainment and programs.
The facility offers a mix of simple comforts and newer features, with a focus on holistic healing and making sure people have peace of mind, so while it's not perfect-no place is-it tries to do right by the people who live there with regular reviews, an online education program, and a pledge to keep working to set the standard for senior care. Affiliations with well-known companies and a friendly, responsive staff aim to provide care that makes residents feel safe, cared for, and involved, even if there are improvements still to be made.
