What does an Option 2 assisted living license mean for residents at Kauhale Creve Coeur?

As an Option 2 assisted living facility, Kauhale Creve Coeur 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 Kauhale Creve Coeur to show you what an evacuation plan would look like for your parent.

Does Kauhale Creve Coeur have a memory care unit?

Yes. Kauhale Creve Coeur has disclosed an Alzheimer's special care unit to DHSS covering 58 of its 58 licensed beds (100%).

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.

Larger buildings often price care in levels or points, while smaller ones lean toward all-inclusive rates, so ask which model is used and what moves a resident to the next level.
