What does an Option 2 assisted living license mean for residents at Southview Assisted Living?

As an Option 2 assisted living facility, Southview Assisted Living 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 Southview Assisted Living to show you what an evacuation plan would look like for your parent.

Does Southview Assisted Living have a memory care unit?

Yes. Southview Assisted Living has disclosed an Alzheimer's special care unit to DHSS covering 33 of its 111 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.

Assisted living in Greater St. Louis typically runs $3,400–$5,200/mo in 2026 and memory care $4,400–$6,400/mo; Southview Assisted Living doesn't report its rates to DHSS, so ask for a written rate sheet.

At 111 beds, Southview Assisted Living is one of the larger communities in the metro. 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. Memory care units usually carry a separate, higher rate. Missouri's Aged and Disabled Waiver can help pay for personal care for eligible residents but never covers room and board, and not every facility accepts it. See St. Louis memory care costs for the full breakdown.
