MO Ventilator long-term care

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am looking for a long term care facility in the Kansas City, MO area for a family that has a geriactric family member that is now vent dependent.

Any suggestions. I have called the MO Ombudsman, but have not received any answers yet.:uhoh21:

Hi Mary - by going through the Missouri Medicaid system - you should be able to get a list of "exceptional level of care" facilities. You might also contact the discharge planner or case manager where this pt current is - and they should be able to provide you some options. good luck...judi

I know of one facility here that specializes in Vent patients. It used to be called VenCore...but now it is called Kindred Hospital. I bunch of my classmates did clinicals there, and they seemed to enjoy it.

Good luck!
