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 47% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 20 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.
Carriage Square Rehab and Healthcare Center receives polarized feedback, with many reviewers praising the physical therapy department and individual staff members for their kindness. However, significant concerns exist regarding inconsistent staffing levels, slow response times for basic needs like pain medication and toileting, and occasional administrative disputes. Families should be aware that while many report a warm, family-like environment, others describe issues with facility cleanliness, food quality, and resident safety.

Key Review Excerpts
“I came here for physical therapy and was not disappointed. Josh and Bonnie showed me that you didn't need a gym full of equipment to accomplish your PT goals.”
“Waiting 2 hrs for pain medication when asking 4 different caregivers, waiting more than 1 hr to be taken to the bathroom is a bit excessive.”
“I really like that they call periodic meetings to give me updates on my parents’ care.”
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.
