Abundant Acres Care & Rehab sits at 13277 State Hwy D in Savannah, Missouri, and folks will notice right away that the place works to feel more like a home than a big corporate nursing home, which comes from its older history where the Andrew County Commission first set it up for people who needed care and didn't have anywhere else to go, and now it's run by a local board of seven volunteers and a team of folks from around the county who've got a lot of experience in long-term care, and over time it's been called Shady Lawn but now goes by Abundant Acres with new management and a new start. It's a non-profit corporation, and with 88 certified beds, it offers skilled nursing and rehab in a building where you'll soon have a daycare center for county employees, though that program runs separately from the nursing home side but still inside the same walls, and besides that day service it covers lots of care options from independent and assisted living to memory care and short-term respite, and they also take part in home care and Medicare-certified home health services.
The care team includes Certified Nursing Assistants, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Registered Nurses, and the team as a whole puts in about 3.10 nurse hours per resident each day with a CNA average of 45 minutes per resident per day, and the staff's gotten some recognition, like from Three Rivers Hospice, and go through things that boost morale, such as special meals during Nursing Home and CNA weeks. People coming there after surgery, illness, or injury can tap into rehab-to-home programs that help them get back on their feet-plus, there's outpatient therapy for sports injuries in the works, and services also include activities, dietary choices, housekeeping, labs, dental visits, diagnostic X-rays, occupational and physical therapy, pharmacy, physician and podiatry care, and plenty of social support for both patients and their loved ones, so whether someone's there for a bit or for the long haul, there's a team to guide them.
While Abundant Acres takes pride in the home-like setting and the board-certified geriatrician who directs medical care with a background in psychiatry and family medicine, there have been some complaint and violation reports-like those from late 2024 to early 2025 about protecting residents and about infection-related deficiencies, and the facility has had a total of 62 reported deficiencies, so it's good to remember that every place has its problems and feedback helps keep folks on their toes. The place participates in Medicare and Medicaid, is certified by CMS, and has its own Medicare star rating and history, with everything from memory care for dementia to recreation programs for short stays, and the therapy team sets up customized plans for each person's needs, so basically you get a full range of support under one roof, with a primary focus on simple comfort and steady care rather than fancy extras.
