St. Andrew's at New Florence

St. Andrew's at New Florence sits quietly in central Missouri, one mile north of I-70, surrounded by peaceful country views and the steady sound of birds, and it's been helping seniors since 1976, using a not-for-profit approach and staying guided by a local volunteer Board of Directors with support from St. Andrew's Management Services. The care center holds up to 120 people with both Medicare and Medicaid certified skilled beds and residential rooms, and the place offers a full range of care so folks don't have to move every time their needs change, since you'll find assisted living, memory care for those living with Alzheimer's disease, skilled nursing, long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, hospice, respite care, independent living, and even home care within the community. Residents get personal care and help with things like medication, bathing, and meals, all with 24-hour staff and a 24/7 emergency response system for safety, and there's always companionship, comfort, and efforts to help folks stay independent as much as possible, though staff steps in for more assistance when needed. The facility makes daily life smoother with meal help, laundry, and housekeeping, and there's scheduled transportation to get around. Care is personalized with tailored plans, and residents have access to onsite physical, occupational, and speech therapy services alongside general nursing care, nurse practitioner visits, and visits from outside healthcare providers. There's a real focus on keeping the environment secure and friendly-which shows through repeated 5-star CMS ratings and periods with no state deficiencies-plus the amenities are practical: every room has individually controlled temperatures, all standard utilities and basic cable are included, and staff take care of maintenance for comfort. Social life gets plenty of attention with home-style dining, a stocked library, party and game rooms, a computer room with Wi-Fi, a beauty and barber shop, a community garden, and a courtyard with seasonal flowers, which folks use for family visits and relaxation. For fun and well-being, residents join planned events, play games, enjoy regular wellness activities, and sometimes get visits from pets. Folks who live at St. Andrew's at New Florence find their days supported by a caring staff using specific care programs designed for their needs, and the environment feels more like home because of the simple comforts and neighborly approach.
