Choosing a nursing home in St. Louis County

To compare nursing homes, look past the star rating to the health inspection findings themselves, review nurse staffing levels and turnover, and ask about rehabilitation, memory care, and how care plans get reviewed.

The strongest comparisons weigh several signals together - inspection history, nurse staffing, quality measures, and the particular services someone requires. Ratings pull those signals into a single number, but they cannot stand in for a visit or a conversation with the staff.

When you are choosing for yourself or someone you care for in St. Louis County, tour in person if you can, ask whether space is currently available, and confirm Medicare and Medicaid participation. Also ask how the provider manages care planning, keeps families informed, and handles concerns that arise after hours.
