LaVerna Manor Health & Rehabilitation

LaVerna Manor Health & Rehabilitation in Savannah, Missouri, gives seniors different levels of support all in one place, starting with independent living and going all the way up to full nursing care, and folks can move through these as their needs change, so some stay in small board and care homes in a neighborhood-like setting and get daily help, while others need more nursing support or might use the bigger skilled nursing area where there's everything from wound care to full rehabilitation services. There's a strong focus on memory care, with secure environments and 24-hour supervision, so seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia get special attention, memory-friendly activities, and safe spaces, and families can count on staff to share updates and answer questions about care. The rooms come furnished with private bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, kitchenettes, and Wi-Fi, while the building stays clean and comfortable, smelling nice and welcoming, and decorated for holidays or special events by staff who try to brighten things up. Meals are served restaurant-style in a dining room, and the kitchen staff can handle special diets, whether for allergies or diabetes, which is important for a lot of folks. There's help for daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, or getting around, and a 24-hour call system means help is always close by. Activities fill up the days, from bingo and arts and crafts to music, church services, walks on outdoor paths, movie nights, and outings on the community bus, plus there's a therapy dog named Miss Ruby who visits for companionship. Residents can enjoy time in the library, fitness room, or outside in gardens or common areas, and the place has its own movie theater along with resident-run events. There's laundry and housekeeping, and move-in help if needed. A clinical team works to find out what each person needs and makes a plan, and they adjust care along the way, always aiming to help people get stronger, do more for themselves, or just feel better day-to-day. Medicare and Medicaid cover care here, and the facility has space for 66 residents at a time. Staff speak plainly and work to keep people treated with dignity, showing respect for families and residents. The facility runs between 8 am and 8 pm daily for visitors, and there's always support around the clock for those in memory care or with other high needs.
