St Andrew's at Francis Place in Eureka, MO provides nursing-home care designed for people who need continuous medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to handle medication administration, wound care, post-operative recovery, and the monitoring of chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory disorders. Rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, are available on-site so residents do not have to leave the building for standard therapy sessions. Physicians visit the community on a regular schedule, and the nursing staff coordinates any necessary lab tests, imaging, or hospital transfers.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the care team offers support services aimed at maintaining overall health and safety. Care plans are reviewed routinely to adjust to changing needs, and family members receive updates on progress or setbacks. An emergency call system links each resident room to the nursing station, and fall-prevention protocols are in place, including regular mobility assessments. Palliative and hospice services can be arranged when appropriate, and the staff works with outside providers for specialized care such as dialysis or behavioral health consultations.
Accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms, each furnished with an adjustable bed, basic storage, and accessible bathroom features like grab bars and non-slip flooring. Not all rooms have identical amenities, but options may include individually controlled climate systems, cable television, wireless internet, and in-room telephone service. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are handled by the facility, and common lounges give residents additional space for visits or quiet time away from their rooms.
Dining services supply three scheduled meals each day, prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian to meet federal nutrition standards for skilled-nursing facilities. Menus rotate regularly and can be modified for therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or pureed textures. Meals are typically served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, though tray service to the resident’s room is available when medically required. Snacks and hydration stations are accessible between meals, and staff monitor intake to ensure dietary goals are met.
