Missouri Slope is a non-profit senior living community where people can get long-term care, skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, assisted living, and independent living options, with a faith-based approach that's grounded in Christian values. The place has two main campuses-the Washington Campus and the Hillview Campus-and offers 250 skilled nursing care beds plus 48 beds in the nursing facility, and the rooms are spacious to help keep folks comfortable while supporting independence and dignity as much as possible. They run their buildings 24 hours-staff are always there, the pharmacy is open around the clock, and a pharmacist is ready day or night for any emergencies, which helps people who need help at odd hours. Their on-site pharmacy can bill Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance; most unused medicine can go back to the pharmacy for credit, and they use special packaging for medicines that makes things safer and quicker for staff and residents.
People living at Missouri Slope can get all kinds of care-help with daily activities in assisted living, therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy through their partnership with Infinity Rehab, and even services for family caregivers or veterans. They've got an adult day care program, a Special Day Care program for people with Alzheimer's, and strong memory care for seniors with dementia, with a focus on reducing confusion and making things safe for everyone. There's a home care service where trained aides check in and offer non-medical companionship, so even seniors at home in the area can get some support. Their rehabilitation gym is up to date, and therapy services like restorative rehab are easy to get if someone's working on recovery.
Many of the meals are prepared by skilled chefs, who help with special diets or personal food preferences, and folks can use the on-site beauty salon with full-time cosmetologists, relax in one of the spas, or get from place to place using the community's transportation services. They've got ceiling lifts for people who need physical help moving around, and spaces for religious services, which means residents can keep up with their faith and connect with their neighbors through group events.
Missouri Slope takes Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance. It's a place supported by the Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center Foundation, which uses donations and fundraising to help pay for amenities, new equipment, or social activities. They're involved in programs like Giving Hearts Day, the Qualified State Tax Credit Endowment Fund, and Thrivent's Choice Dollars, and people can make gifts in memory or in honor of loved ones or sponsor special events if they want to help out. Missouri Slope tries to give folks what they need as they age-including kindness, medical care, help with daily living, therapy, social connection, safe spaces, faith services, and a bit of dignity along the way.
