St Francis Park – Assisted Living By Americare in Kennett, Missouri, serves older adults who need either Assisted Living or Independent Living. Residents who choose Assisted Living receive help with daily activities, regular wellness checks, and 24-hour staffing, while Independent Living residents benefit from the same secure setting without routine personal-care assistance.
The community can accommodate short-term or respite stays, and staff are trained in diabetes management and blood-sugar monitoring. Speech therapy is available for residents who need help maintaining or regaining communication skills. On-site care resources include incontinence management, support for ambulatory residents, hospice coordination, medication management, and regular visits from occupational, physical, and podiatry specialists. These clinical services are delivered in coordination with each resident’s physician to streamline treatment and reduce outside trips.
Apartment options range from studio to larger floor plans, all climate-controlled and some configured with wheelchair-accessible showers, balconies, patios, or decks. Pet-friendly policies allow many residents to keep small companions, and outdoor areas give space for walking or relaxing. Not every unit contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should review floor-plan details and confirm availability. Common areas include a piano or organ for resident use, accessible pathways, and on-site parking for both residents and guests.
Dining services provide three scheduled meals each day, prepared with attention to dietary needs. Low- or no-sodium entrées, no-sugar desserts, and vegetarian selections are part of the standard menu rotation, and guest meals can be arranged in advance. Staff members oversee nutrition plans to align with physician directives, helping residents follow specialized diets without added effort.
Residents can read or browse the internet in the library and computer lounge, participate in group activities in the center, or join organized social outings. Live music events and birthday celebrations are held regularly, and outdoor spaces are open whenever weather permits. A swimming pool rounds out the recreation options, offering both exercise and leisure opportunities on site.
