5 Best Nursing Homes in East Lynne, MO

I would say that it's hardest thing I've ever done to put my husband in this place. But I really don't think any other place would have been better. He wanted to be home, of course. The friendliness of the staff helped me. When my loved one tried to get out someone was there to prevent it. It might have been hard for Silverado because they didn't have a separate area for mental health.

Well, my brother is the client and he has mental illness but it sounds like there isn't much communication to the clients about what is going on. As an example, the manager and her boyfriend live on site. My brother complains that they go to an amusement park everyday. I've tried to tell him that she probably has vacation days or comp days when she does that, but it is upsetting to him. I understand that he doesn't need to know but it would be a nice courtesy if the manager is "out" for the clients to know. For such a small and affordable place overall I think they do a nice job.

I liked the Essex property from the first time I went inside to take a tour. It smelled like home cooked food and everything was very neat and clean inside and out. The staff and residents are very friendly and welcoming. Mom has only lived at the facility just under 1 month, but has already made many new friends and settled into the routine. They provide housekeeping and laundry services and serve three meals a day. I toured other similar facilities, but the Essex stood out as a superior place for Mom and I couldn't be happier with their services. They provide superior care at an affordable rate.
