What does an Option 2 assisted living license mean for residents at Creve Coeur Assisted Living and Memory Care?

As an Option 2 assisted living facility, Creve Coeur Assisted Living and Memory Care may serve residents who can't evacuate the building on their own, as long as it staffs for evacuations and writes an individualized evacuation plan into each such resident's service plan.

DHSS describes this level as a facility that may accept or retain residents with an impairment that prevents their safe evacuation, but only if it meets added staffing requirements to assist in evacuations and includes an individualized evacuation plan in the resident's service plan. Missouri assisted living follows a social model of care and may admit or keep a resident only if that person doesn't need hospitalization or skilled nursing placement (19 CSR 30-86). If your parent's needs grow past that line, the next step is usually a skilled nursing facility.

53 of the 64 assisted living and residential care licenses in St. Louis County hold Option 2. Ask Creve Coeur Assisted Living and Memory Care to show you what an evacuation plan would look like for your parent.

Does Creve Coeur Assisted Living and Memory Care have a memory care unit?

Yes. Creve Coeur Assisted Living and Memory Care has disclosed an Alzheimer's special care unit to DHSS covering 33 of its 110 licensed beds (30%).

Missouri has no separate memory care license. Under RSMo 198.510, a facility that offers an Alzheimer's special care unit or program must file a disclosure with DHSS describing what makes the care suited to people with dementia, and must give a copy to the resident and family at admission. Ask for that disclosure before you tour, then compare it with what you see: secured doors, daily structure, and how staff redirect someone who is anxious or trying to leave.
