Shirkey Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Richmond, Missouri, is a skilled nursing facility that concentrates on round-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who need a higher level of medical attention. Licensed nurses are on duty 24 hours a day to handle medication administration, wound care, and monitoring of chronic conditions, ensuring that residents receive continual supervision consistent with nursing-home standards.

The center places particular emphasis on rehabilitation, offering on-site physical therapy delivered by licensed therapists. Individual treatment plans are designed to regain or maintain mobility, balance, and strength, and therapy sessions are coordinated with the nursing staff to support overall recovery goals. Regular care plan reviews, physician coordination, and detailed progress tracking help residents work toward measurable health outcomes.

Resident accommodations vary but typically include private or semiprivate rooms with central air conditioning for climate control. Some rooms open onto landscaped outdoor areas or the facility’s garden, giving residents a chance to spend time outside without leaving the campus; however, not every accommodation includes direct garden access or all listed features.

Meals are prepared three times daily with attention to medical and nutritional requirements prescribed by care plans. Dieticians work with nursing staff to tailor menus for specific needs such as low-sodium or diabetic diets, and staff assistance is available for residents who need help with eating. Snacks and beverages are offered between meals so residents can maintain consistent nutrition and hydration.

Daily life is rounded out with access to an activity center that hosts scheduled programs and casual gatherings, along with a library and computer lounge where residents can read, use a computer, or participate in group discussions. These amenities give residents options for social interaction and personal interests without having to leave the building.
