Osage Beach Rehab & Health Care Center

Osage Beach Rehab & Health Care Center sits at 844 Passover Road in Osage Beach, Missouri, and offers 24-hour nursing care with a focus on both short-term and long-term skilled nursing, so folks recovering from things like strokes, joint replacements, or serious illness get help from a team that includes specialized physicians, nurses, and therapists who work together, and the place handles daily needs like bathing, meals, dressing, and getting around, plus special services for diabetes, medication management, and wound care. The facility connects closely with the Center for Behavioral Health - Osage Beach, so residents can also get support for psychological or mental health needs and behavioral health services, which you don't always find everywhere. Rehabilitation here covers lots of ground, with an onsite rehab unit for physical therapy after joint surgeries or accidents, occupational therapy to get people back to daily activities or adapt to changes in vision, and speech therapy for help with swallowing, speech, or voice issues-they even do special tests there, plus therapies for Parkinson's. They manage specialized nutrition plans for anyone who needs them, follow physician-directed protocols, and have respite care options when families need a break. There's a dedicated administrator named Reed Bentzinger, and the place holds 100 beds for post-acute care with 80 set aside as a skilled nursing facility, making room for plenty of patients. Folks can pay with Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, VA benefits, or out of pocket, and they take outpatient rehab cases too, all while maintaining a straightforward focus on compassionate, daily support and community outreach through care visits.
