Key Review Excerpts
“My husband and I have been residents of Meramec Bluffs for 6 years. The residents and staff are very friendly. We especially like all of the activities available.”
“Beautiful clean place! A+ on the care my brother and Dad who were both there for a month at separate times. No complaints! Food was excellent. PT worked with them and really helped them improve.”
“An order for a special mattress was over looked for 3 weeks by staff. In his chart it was noted a 2nd time (about 1 week after the 1st order). He had a wound that was being treated but on 6 different occasions that I noted it was left without a bandage.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
