Common questions

Who licenses assisted living facilities in St. Louis?
Missouri has no standalone "assisted living" license. Communities are licensed by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), Section for Long-Term Care Regulation, under Chapter 198 RSMo and 19 CSR 30-86, in one of three tiers: Residential Care Facility I (RCF I) for the lowest acuity, Residential Care Facility II (RCF II) for moderate acuity, and Assisted Living Facility (ALF) for the highest acuity of the three non-skilled categories. Families can verify a community's license and inspection history at the Missouri DHSS Section for Long-Term Care Regulation facility search (health.mo.gov).
How does Medicaid help pay for care?
Missouri's Aged and Disabled Waiver (ADW), funded through MO HealthNet, can cover personal care and supports in RCF/ALF settings or at home for those who qualify, and Missouri Care Options (MCO) may also help, but neither generally covers room & board. Our advisors help you understand eligibility, which you apply for through MO HealthNet and the Missouri DHSS Division of Senior and Disability Services.
What cities/areas do you serve?
St. Louis, Clayton, Chesterfield, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Ballwin, Florissant, Maplewood, University City, Creve Coeur, St. Charles, O'Fallon, St. Peters, Wentzville, and Arnold — across the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, and Jefferson County throughout Greater St. Louis.
How much does assisted living cost around St. Louis?
Standard assisted living in Greater St. Louis generally runs $3,400 to $5,200 a month, while memory care runs $4,400 to $6,400 a month. Costs vary by area — Clayton, Ladue-adjacent areas, Chesterfield, and Town & Country-adjacent West County skew highest; North St. Louis City and parts of North St. Louis County run comparatively lower.
How fast can a parent move in?
Most non-urgent moves close in 7–14 days. Hospital discharges from Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Missouri Baptist Medical Center, SSM Health, or Mercy Hospital St. Louis can sometimes happen the same day.
Can Area Agency on Aging or VA benefits help?
The Mid-East Area Agency on Aging (MEAAA) offers guidance across the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, and Jefferson County, along with the Missouri DHSS Division of Senior and Disability Services for statewide benefits counseling. Veterans can reach the VA St. Louis Health Care System for benefits guidance, including Aid & Attendance.
Is my information shared with lots of companies?
No. We hand-match one to three relevant options. What you tell us stays with our local St. Louis team — never resold.
What does this service cost families?
Nothing — it's free for families. The receiving community pays us, and only once a placement is made.
