Planning Consideration: Care Coordination

With multiple major hospital systems, coordination is key.

  • Transitions: Ask specifically how the facility handles discharge planning after a hospital stay. Who coordinates with the rehab center?
  • Communication: Is there a single point of contact for families when medication orders change?
  • Location: In metro areas, proximity to a specific hospital system (e.g., BJC, Mercy) might determine your choice.

Common Care Options

Assisted Living

Missouri licenses Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) and Residential Care Facilities (RCF). ALFs generally provide higher levels of care and can help with more complex needs.

Memory Care

Specialized units for dementia. In smaller markets, these may be part of a nursing home rather than a standalone community.

Skilled Nursing

Nursing homes providing 24-hour care. Use Medicare Care Compare to check for staffing ratings.

Costs in Missouri

Costs are often lower than the national average, but "care points" can add up.

  • Tiers: Most communities charge a base rent plus levels of care. Ask to see the "points" assessment.
  • Medicaid: MO HealthNet may cover services in an ALF, but the "room and board" portion is usually the resident's responsibility.

Licensing and Oversight

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services regulates these facilities. You can verify whether a home is an ALF or RCF on their website.

Tour Questions for Missouri

  • License: Is this an ALF or an RCF? (ALFs can typically handle more medical needs).
  • Coordination: Who calls the doctor if my Mom seems sick?
  • Fees: How often do you reassess care levels?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ALF and RCF?

ALFs can generally provide more assistance with transfers and evacuation than RCFs.

Who regulates facilities?

Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.

Can Medicaid help?

MO HealthNet can pay for care costs in eligible facilities, but not rent.

How do I compare nursing homes?

Use Medicare Care Compare.
