A Saint Louis skilled nursing community awaiting a federal rating

Hillside Health Care Center is a for-profit skilled nursing facility in Saint Louis, MO, with 208 certified beds and an average of about 144 residents per day. It operates as part of the Ama Holdings network.

This community does not yet carry a Medicare overall star rating — often the case for newer facilities or those with a recent ownership change. We recommend requesting its most recent state survey directly.

Staff provide about 1.81 total nurse hours per resident each day (0.12 of them from registered nurses), below the national benchmark of roughly 3.9 hours. Annual nursing-staff turnover is about 65.6%, higher than the ~52% national average. On the safety record, CMS notes 46 health deficiencies at its most recent standard survey, and 3 federal fines totaling $126,156 in the recent record. Note: CMS has flagged this facility with an abuse icon. We strongly recommend reviewing the full inspection report and discussing it on any tour. This facility is in the CMS Special Focus Facility program, which targets homes with a history of serious quality problems.

The best time to decide is before a crisis decides for you

Most families start this search after a fall, a hospital stay, or a caregiver reaching a breaking point — and end up choosing from whatever has a bed open that week. Families who plan even a few weeks ahead get to choose on quality, fit, and price instead of availability alone.

  • Move-ins take time: assessments, paperwork, and preparation typically run 2–6 weeks in St. Louis.
  • The best communities fill first: top-rated communities often run a waitlist — touring early holds your place in line.
  • Touring costs nothing and commits you to nothing — but it turns a future emergency into a calm, informed choice.
