Elsberry Health Care Center

Elsberry Health Care Center sits in Elsberry, Missouri, and has been running since 1974 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, serving seniors in Lincoln County, and it provides nursing, assisted living, convalescent, hospice, and rehabilitative care. The building includes a skilled nursing facility with 56 beds and has an assisted living area with eight private studio rooms and two one-bedroom suites, each with a private bath, walk-in shower, and kitchenette, along with other rooms like singles and doubles with living space and kitchen areas. Seniors with serious illnesses or disabilities get 24-hour medical care from registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nurse aides, and residents who need therapy services or help with daily activities find both available here, plus a friendly staff and a calm, home-like atmosphere. The center gets revenues of about $3,991,649 with expenses of $4,166,205 as of 2023, employs around 101 staff members, and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private pay, and private insurance, and contributions are tax deductible. Programs cover extended stays, resident counseling, and monthly visits from local physicians who're also reachable by phone, and bed days total 20,800 yearly. The facility tries to keep life enjoyable with a large activities room, common areas for socializing and dining, outdoor space with a fenced yard and walking trail, patios, a children's playground, and a spa with a whirlpool, and there's plenty of room for hobbies, games, and family gatherings. The grounds hold raised garden planters for flowers and vegetables, a remodeled dayroom, a screened porch, and safe walking paths with views of the Mississippi foothills, which many folks find peaceful. You'll find two large TVs for ball games or movie nights, and social media access is available, as Elsberry Health Care Center maintains a Facebook presence and its own website at elsberryhcc.org. The center follows a mission to meet residents' physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs, and it's managed by a dedicated healthcare team that includes both licensed nurses and certified nurse assistants, with regular care for Medicare and Medicaid patients. The atmosphere remains quiet and easy-going, with attention to safety and each resident's well-being, and while no place gets everything right, plenty of folks who move in find a simple and supportive life here.
