What does an Option 2 assisted living license mean for residents at Friendship Village Assisted Living & Memory Care (St. Louis)?

As an Option 2 assisted living facility, Friendship Village Assisted Living & Memory Care (St. Louis) 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.
