Scenic Nursing & Rehab Center sits on Scenic Drive in Herculaneum, Missouri, and has been helping older adults since January 1, 2005, so you get a place with a long history of care and a lot of different services. This facility offers nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and assisted living all in one spot, which is convenient for people who need different kinds of help as they age. You'll find things like nursing care, mental health services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and Alzheimer's treatment. The Memory Care Neighborhood is home-like and secure, with a 35-bed family-oriented unit, enclosed courtyard, and a Fireside Room-a calming sensory room with soft lights, music, and things to touch that help folks feel steady or stay engaged if memory is a trouble for them, and there's an enclosed garden for those who want fresh air but still need to stay safe, and the whole area features visually stimulating wall murals that try to help residents reminisce or connect memories. They run specialty programs, like Rapid Recovery for illness or surgery rehab, and use a lot of therapy equipment, like Wii Gaming Technology for fun and therapy at the same time, Accelerated Care Plus machines-the kind professional sports teams use-and other tools like neuromuscular stimulation and VitalStim for swallowing. Therapy services run six days a week, and they've got rehab suites for folks who need to recover after hospital stays. There's also wound care, IV therapy, bariatric care, podiatry, dental care, pharmacy help, complex wound vacs, and dietary help.
Everything gets managed by the company Scenic Nursing & Rehab Center LLC, and Betty Shannon is the Executive Director with Tyler Czarnecki as the Administrator, and while it's not BBB accredited, it does hold an A+ rating from the BBB, which at least says something about reliability so far. There's always a doctor available day and night, a nurse practitioner for rehab support five days a week, and a friendly staff who aims to look after both medical and daily needs. Residents who want to be social can use activity rooms, the "Right Way Café" for gathering, and courtyards or a big front porch if they just want to watch the day pass outside, and there's a restaurant-style dining room, private dining for rehab guests, a beauty salon for grooming, a TV lounge, and even a small kitchenette/café for a change of scenery when it's time to eat. Every room gives you personal closet and vanity space, in-room restrooms kept clean, in-room TV, cable, and Wi-Fi for comfort, and for folks who struggle with vision, they offer low vision therapy. There are also respite care services to help caregivers who need a break.
The community posts news and updates on Facebook, so families and friends can see what's happening. Social work support helps with emotional needs, and there's help for those who can't manage medication or finances, too. For more detailed care, the place offers lots of medical services like X-ray imaging and respiratory care-including tracheotomy care, plus social activities that fit a wide range of interests and abilities so everyone stays active as much as possible. The mix of old-fashioned friendliness and state-of-the-art medical equipment means Scenic Nursing & Rehab Center tries to mix comfort and care, keeping things steady for those who call it home or come to recover for a while.
