These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 59% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 19 findings, above the MO average of 12.0. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Advanced Care of St. Joseph receives high praise for its rehabilitation therapy department, with many patients reporting successful recoveries and a return to independent living. However, the facility faces significant criticism regarding inconsistent staffing levels, poor communication from administration, and occasional neglect in basic patient care tasks. Families should be aware that while clinical outcomes for rehab are often reported as excellent, the facility's administrative and support services can be unreliable.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy department was excellent, they pushed/helped me to get back on my feet and were so carrying and considerate. They made me feel very special when I had my therapy session.”
“While I acknowledge and understand that eyes can't be on any one individual 24/7, certain measures that should have been followed, weren't. For example: her walker came up missing despite her name”
“Highly under staffed, rude, and failed to follow care plans. My mother whom is using a cane and my father had to change my grandfather due to the neglect of the staff”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
