Named One of the Top 10 Nursing Homes in Missouri for 2021

Scenic Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was honored to be named one of the Top 10 Nursing Homes in Missouri for 2021 — a recognition that reflects our long-standing commitment to clinical excellence and compassionate resident care.

About the Missouri Top 10 Recognition

Missouri’s top nursing homes are evaluated based on multiple quality measures tracked by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), including:

Health inspections: Results from state and federal inspections, including the number and severity of deficiencies
Staffing levels: Ratio of registered nurses, licensed nurses, and nursing aides per resident
Quality measures: Clinical outcome data including hospitalization rates, fall rates, pressure injury rates, and medication management
Resident and family satisfaction: Surveys that capture the lived experience of residents

Being ranked in the Top 10 statewide means Scenic consistently outperforms the vast majority of Missouri’s 500+ skilled nursing facilities across all of these dimensions.

What This Means for Families in Jefferson County

If you are searching for a nursing home in Jefferson County, Arnold, Hillsboro, or the South St. Louis area, this recognition matters. It means that when your loved one comes to Scenic, they are receiving care that has been independently verified as among the best available in the state of Missouri.

Key advantages for residents and families:

Lower risk of hospitalization or re-hospitalization
Higher staffing ratios for more individualized attention
Better clinical outcomes across multiple measures
A proven track record that goes back years, not months

Continued Excellence: 2025 and Beyond

The 2021 Top 10 recognition was not a one-time achievement. It reflects the culture of quality that has defined Scenic Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for years. We have continued to build on that foundation, earning the 2024 AHCA Silver Quality Award and a Newsweek Best Nursing Homes 2025 designation — demonstrating that our commitment to excellence is ongoing.
