Find licensed assisted living in Missouri

Every listing is an assisted living or residential care facility with an unexpired license in the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services directory: license number, licensed capacity, Alzheimer's special care unit, administrator and operator, with a link to the state record.

Data from 3 official public-record sourcesHow we verify →
What every listing shows
  • Licensed (DHSS) status from the official record, with the date we checked
  • Missouri license number
  • DHSS facility number
  • License type (DHSS)
  • Licensed capacity
  • Address and phone from the public record

No ratings for sale. Featured spots are labelled and never change the order.

Two licenses, one search. Missouri licenses assisted living facilities and residential care facilities separately, and nursing homes under a third license. A license shows the facility is registered with the state; it is not a quality rating or a price. Ask each facility for its rate sheet, admission agreement and latest inspection results.

Common questions

What is the difference between assisted living and residential care in Missouri?

State law describes an assisted living facility as providing 24-hour care and protective oversight with help in daily activities, medication management and health supervision. A residential care facility provides 24-hour care, shelter, board and protective oversight. Ask each facility what services its license lets it provide.

Does a license mean the facility is good?

No. It means the facility is registered with the state and must follow its rules. It is not a quality rating. Ask for the latest inspection results, the fee schedule and the admission agreement.

Does Medicare pay for assisted living?

Generally no. Medicare does not cover custodial care or room and board. Families pay privately, use long-term care insurance or VA benefits, or may qualify for MO HealthNet programs at a participating facility.

What does the Alzheimer's special care unit flag mean?

The DHSS directory flags facilities that have a special care unit for residents with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia, with a capacity. It does not say how well the unit is staffed. Ask about training, staffing and discharge rules.

How do I report a problem?

Contact DHSS, which licenses facilities, or the Missouri Adult Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-392-0210. The Long-Term Care Ombudsman advocates for residents. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
