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 79% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 13 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.
The Westchester House receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the facility's effective physical and occupational therapy programs for successful rehabilitation. However, a significant number of reviewers report severe concerns regarding understaffing, poor communication, and neglectful patient care, particularly during evening and weekend shifts. Families should be aware that while some residents have positive experiences, others have documented serious issues with hygiene, medication management, and responsiveness.

Key Review Excerpts
“The Physical and Occupational Therapist are excellent. My daughter has really improved greatly and has gained much more strength. The Therapist are the best.”
“The nursing staff and aids are great!! Everyone is very helpful and caring. My mom has lived there in for a few years, and is hard to get along with, but everyone is nice”
“The meals were served in a styrofoam box and rarely even warmed up. I became weaker the longer I stayed and could not depend on the nurse to give me my prescribed meds.”
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.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
