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. The latest standard survey recorded 6 findings, above the ND average of 5.4. 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.
Missouri Slope presents a polarized experience, with significant praise for the facility's bistro and CNA training program contrasted by serious, recurring complaints regarding nursing care. Families frequently report issues with understaffing, poor hygiene in resident rooms, and lost personal belongings. While some visitors find the staff friendly and the food high-quality, others describe a lack of professional oversight and inadequate medical attention for their loved ones.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff’s tender care and patience that allowed her to rally and make the extraordinary improvements she has made, which now make it possible for her to return home.”
“The communication between doctors, PT staff, nurses left a lot to be desired. Mom's care was in question due to inconsistent knowledge of current orders and mom's injury.”
“They did not properly care for my grandmother. They left her laying on the floor and would not take her to the restroom. They were asked about their charting and they do not have one.”
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.

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.
