Clearview Nursing Center

Clearview Nursing Center sits in Sikeston, Missouri, and offers skilled nursing and rehabilitation for older adults, including those recovering from illness, surgery, or hospital stays, and also supports memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with a focus on safety and daily routines. The place takes both Medicare and Medicaid, and provides help understanding payment, eligibility, veteran benefits, and long-term care planning, including side-by-side cost tools and guides about assisted living, senior services, and home care. Clearview has 90 beds total, with about 28 certified beds expected by June 2025, and usually houses up to 98 residents, though the current occupancy rate is about 61%. Residents can choose from studio rooms, most of which are fully furnished and have private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and some studios come with a kitchenette. The staff speaks English and includes registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, and medical staff, all trained to help with medication, transfers, and activities like bathing and dressing, and there's a 24-hour call system plus round-the-clock supervision for resident safety. The nursing center puts focus on what's called the 4Ms-what matters, medication, mentation, and mobility-so residents' preferences and needs are listened to, medicine is managed, mental health is supported, and physical movement is encouraged. Clearview's community has daily activities, a game and activity room, movie nights in a theater space, fitness programs, a beauty salon, library, arts room, music programs, outdoor gardens and walking paths, and a wellness spa or sauna, so there's always something for people to do or somewhere peaceful to relax. Residents get meals in a restaurant-style dining room with allergy-sensitive and diabetic options, and a chef leads the kitchen; there's also extra help for those who need assistance eating or have special diets. Transportation is available for appointments and errands, and laundry, housekeeping, and move-in help are included. When families need a break, respite care is offered, and skilled nursing is there for those with serious health needs. Other services cover speech, occupational, physical, and recreational therapy, IV antibiotics, wound care, dentistry, podiatry, tracheotomy care, nutrition counseling, and mental health support. The nursing center's government quality grade is A for inspections, and it has a 3-star Medicare rating and a 6.5 out of 10 average from residents. Caregivers can find job resources, submit applications, or access pay info, certification guides, and free resume help. There are special resources on becoming a caregiver, with CNA tests, training programs for dementia, state-by-state certification, and Medicaid courses. Resident and family councils aren't listed, but several programs still engage residents in planning and activities. Clearview's approach centers on age-friendly health care in a connected, comfortable setting, offering steady support through life's changes.
