Unlike many majoritively rural states, Missouri’s major urban centers of St. Louis and Kansas City offer world class healthcare options and a notable contemporary art scene.

How to Pay for Assisted Living in Missouri

Determining how to finance assisted living often starts with the question, “What’s the cost?” In today’s economy, where inflation plays a significant role, having current data is crucial for senior living financial planning. AssistedLiving.org has gathered cost information from its expansive network of over 75,000 senior living providers. This data offers a glimpse into the average expenses for assisted living in Missouri and 44 additional cities within Missouri.

How Inflation Has Impacted the Cost of Assisted Living in Missouri

From 2022 to 2023, the average cost of assisted living in Missouri fell by 6%. Illinois’ average fell by 4.5%. Inflation had a much different impact on other places, however. Nationally, prices rose by 10%, and in neighboring Kansas, the average went up by 19%.

The fact that prices fell in Missouri in 2023 doesn’t mean they will continue to decrease, so it’s crucial for families to keep planning strategically when it comes to their long-term care savings. In 2024, the average Missouri price for assisted living is projected to be $4,318. The national average is estimated to be $4,802.

Location 2022 Cost (Historical) 2023 Cost (Current) 2024 Cost (Estimated)
Missouri $4,488 $4,217 $4,318
U.S. Average $4,070 $4,459 $4,802
Arkansas $3,960 $3,840 $4,439
Illinois $4,959 $4,742 $5,313
Iowa $4,770 $4,879 $5,006
Kansas $4,066 $4,834 $5,149

Assisted Living Costs in Missouri's Top Cities

Within Missouri, families will find a wide variation in assisted living costs. St. Louis has the most affordable prices among the state’s big cities, and Springfield also has a reasonable average that’s below the state median. Kansas City is a bit less economical with an average rate of $4,329, and care gets significantly more expensive in Columbia, where the rate is about $1,400 higher than Missouri overall.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Living

Due to variations in care levels and other features, not all senior living options in Missouri are priced the same. Independent living is about half the cost of assisted living but does not usually provide caregivers to help with dressing, bathing and other daily activities. Memory care, on the other hand, offers a high level of care and programming for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, which demands a significantly higher price than assisted living.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Missouri

Home- and Community-Based Personal Care Services

Missouri residents of assisted living and residential care facilities may be eligible for Medicaid reimbursement for their personal care expenses. Personal care services include assistance with activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, and walking around. Missouri’s Medicaid program also offers to cover advanced activities of daily living which are more nursing-oriented activities, most of them involving medical maintenance.

For eligible recipients, this program will cover personal care needs that exceed the minimum of assistance that is offered at their facility. A monthly RN visit is also covered so that the needs of recipients can be re-evaluated every 30 days. Covered service amounts cannot exceed 60% of the average statewide cost of care in a nursing facility, excluding costs for RN appointments.

Who is Eligible?

Aside from meeting basic Medicaid eligibility requirements, recipients of personal care coverage must also be:

  • People 18 years of age and older
  • Individuals who are nursing home eligible
  • Active Medicaid recipients with an appropriate Medicaid Eligibility code

How to Apply

In order to apply for personal care coverage, prospective recipients must have a referral from their physician to receive Home- and Community-Based Services. Applications for Missouri’s Medicaid program for the elderly, administered through MO HealthNet, can be initiated online or on the phone, and a sample referral form for personal care services can be found online as well. To find a downloadable paper application for Medicaid or to apply online, visit MyDSS.MO.gov. To apply for Medicaid by phone or in person, use the table in this guide to locate your regional Area Agency on Aging.

Supplemental Nursing Care

Medicaid recipients who live in assisted living, residential care, or a skilled nursing facility may be eligible to receive a grant to mitigate their monthly costs of care. These grants are intended to cover the difference between a resident’s countable monthly income and their monthly costs at a facility if those costs are greater. Only a facility’s base rates for resident care are considered, excluding additional charges for personal expenses, clothing, etc.

The maximum grant that applicants may receive will be based on how their income compares to their basic monthly facility costs, and on what type of facility they inhabit.

  • Assisted living facility residents may receive up to $292.50 monthly.
  • Residential care facility residents may receive up to $156 monthly.
  • Skilled nursing facility residents may receive up to $390 monthly.

Who is Eligible?

Only people who are living in a facility at the time of application can receive skilled nursing care supplements. Applicants should also be:

  • Nursing home-eligible
  • Eligible for Medicaid
  • In need of skilled nursing care
  • Getting a monthly income that is less than their facility’s basic monthly cost

How to Apply

Applicants should connect with an eligibility specialist at the DHS Division of Senior and Disability Services by first locating their regional Area Agency on Aging in the table below. A state eligibility manual for skilled nursing care can be found online at DDS.MO.gov.

Applications for Missouri’s Medicaid program for the elderly, administered through MO HealthNet, can be initiated online or on the phone.

To apply for Medicaid by phone or in person, use the table in this guide to locate your regional Area Agency on Aging.

PACE

Missouri’s Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly is administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. PACE is intended to cover all medical expenses for especially frail seniors who are at immediate risk of institutionalization. The program can support a limited number of recipients, and most programs can take between 150 and 300 active participants. Assisted living residents may be reimbursed for services provided at facilities as long as a family member or friend is available to provide oversight during brief interims of respite. For people who are not Medicaid eligible, PACE may be available for a monthly fee.

Who is Eligible?

Eligibility for PACE participation requires applicants to be 55 or older, and coverage in Missouri is only available to people living in the St. Louis area. Medical eligibility requires that PACE recipients be nursing home-eligible with at least 21 points on the nursing home level of care assessment, which is administered by a Medicaid caseworker.

How to Apply

To find out if you’re eligible and learn about what PACE offers, contact your local HHS office by dialing 2-1-1. You can also consult your local Area Agency on Aging for more details and application assistance. To learn more about PACE, visit NPAOnline.org.

More Ways to Finance Assisted Living

Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

  • Veterans Benefits: Veterans can take advantage of several different pension programs to help cover the cost of assisted living. For more information, see the article on benefits.va.gov.
  • Life Insurance Policies: Even if a spouse or loved one hasn’t died, certain types of life insurance policies can be used to pay for assisted living. More information is available at longtermcare.acl.gov
  • Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-term care insurance is a type of insurance policy that pays for long-term care when it becomes necessary, including the cost of assisted living. For more information on the benefits and drawbacks of this financing method, visit longtermcare.acl.gov.

Assisted Living Laws and Regulations in Missouri

The Department of Health and Senior Services licenses and regulates long-term care facilities in Missouri. Assisted living facilities (ALFs) and residential care facilities (RCFs) are permitted to offer long-term care in many of the same ways, though divisions exist in the laws that regulate each type of facility. The following are pertinent regulations governing both ALFs and RCFs.

Assisted Living Service Plans

On moving into a long-term care facility, residents must meet with facility staff for an interview to establish the new resident’s needs and manage their expectations of what the facility can provide. At this time, a residential agreement will also be drafted which demonstrates that residents have been informed of their rights and of all costs for service.

In assisted living facilities, part of the overall agreement must include provisions for any resident who is incapable of safely self-evacuating in cases of emergency. As part of the service agreement, these individuals or their representatives must be consulted to form an individualized evacuation plan.

Assisted Living Admission Requirements

Assisted living facilities can admit applicants who can confirm their need of assisted living services, such as assistance with activities of daily living, like bathing or mobility. People who are more incapacitated due to mental or physical decline may also be accommodated, but only by facilities that are sufficiently licensed and staffed to meet all of such residents’ needs. Some ALFs can provide skilled nursing care and assistance with medical maintenance tasks, and all are required to be capable of assisting residents to safety in an emergency.

Residential care facilities have the same admission requirements as ALFs, except where the ability to self-evacuate in cases of emergency is concerned. RCF residents must be capable of getting to safety without assistance within five minutes of being notified of an emergency situation. In some, temporary cases of incapacity, such as during a period of convalescence, incapacitated residents are allowed to remain as tenants in an RCF. However, prolonged immobility puts these residents at risk of transference to another care setting.

ALFs and RCFs have some limitations for acceptance. Neither type of facility can house people who exhibit the following:

  • Tendencies toward self-harm or harm to others
  • The requirement of physical or chemical restraints
  • Skilled nursing requirements exceeding the facility’s offered services
  • Need for assistance by more than one person (except in bathing or transference)

Assisted Living Scope of Care

ALF Scope of Care: Assisted living facilities must provide 24-hour care and protective oversight, including assistance with dressing, bathing, transferring, medication management, dietary services, social/physical activities, and food sanitation. There are additional requirements for ALFs that specialize in memory care and dementia. Assisted living facilities are intended to provide medical oversight and assistance in a home-like setting.

RCF Scope of Care: Residential care facilities must provide 24-hour care, shelter, board, and protective oversight, including assistance with storage, distribution, and/or administration of medications, dietary services, and food sanitation. Care can be provided to those with a short-term illness and during periods of recuperation.

Assisted Living Medicaid Policy

Unlike many states, Missouri does not allow Medicaid waiver coverage to be used in long-term care facilities for people with greater medical needs. However, for eligible Medicaid recipients who need a greater level of care than their facility is able to provide, the state does reimburse for personal care services, and also for advanced personal care services to aid residents with medical maintenance tasks. For people in need of skilled nursing care who have an income that is less than the monthly charge of their facility, the state may offer a cash grant to cover the difference.

Assisted Living Facility Requirements

Both ALFs and RCFs in Missouri may provide either apartment-style lodging or single- to double-occupancy bedrooms with a maximum of four residents per room. Assisted living facilities have the added requirement that they must be “home-like” environments, with living and communal spaces that provide the psychosocial experience of a typical family home. Both residential care and assisted living facilities must provide at least 70 square feet of usable living space per resident. For every six people in residence, facilities must provide at least one bathroom, and for every 20 residents there must be at least one bath or shower.

Medication Management Regulations

ALFs and RCFs keep each resident’s medication regimen on file, and depending on the type of facility one lives in, their regimen will be reassessed every two to three months by a physician or registered nurse. Any staff authorized to administer or assist residents with their medications must be licensed as a Medication Aide (MA) by the Missouri Assisted Living Association, and there are different levels of MA certification that are based on the type of medicines to be administered, including various types of injections. A registered nurse will be on staff at all facilities for at least eight hours a week to coordinate and oversee medication management operations.

Staffing Requirements

Both assisted living and residential care facilities are required to hire at least one administrator or manager, as well as a team of direct care staff who are capable of providing care to the facility’s most medically needy residents. ALFs must also have a registered nurse on staff who will be present for at least eight hours per week, or more if the facility’s population is over 30 people.

Both facility types have staff to resident ratio requirements in place to make sure that there is always sufficient staff on hand to meet residents’ needs, including throughout the night. Fewer staff members are required to be available in residential care facilities, with only one staff member needed on the grounds at any given time for every 40 people in residence.

Staff Training Requirements

Administrators of assisted living and residential care facilities must be certified by the Board of Nursing Home Administrators, and they may be certified as nursing home or ALF/RCF administrators. Staff at assisted living facilities are given two hours of orientation training before they begin work, and residential care staff only need one hour of orientation. However, staff of both facility types must receive 20 hours of in-service training on a yearly basis, and administrators must complete 40 hours of biennial continued education coursework.

Assisted living facilities differ from residential care facilities by the amount of social interaction training they are given. However, all long-term care facility staff, administrators, and managers will have CPR and first-aid certification and will be trained in fire safety as well as methods for physically transferring residents. Procedures concerning abuse, neglect, and exploitation are also taught to all employees.

Background Checks for Assisted Living

All facilities must check the online registry of employees before they are able to provide direct care to residents. The online registry is maintained by the state of Missouri and allows facilities to see if a prospective employee’s license is current or inactive, and whether they have a Federal Indicator Status. No person with past convictions or substantiated accusations of abuse, neglect, or exploitation may be hired at a Missouri long-term care facility.

Reporting Abuse

The state of Missouri provides different means of assistance with complaints of elder abuse and complaints lodged against a long-term care facility failing to honor a contract or state regulation.

Before reporting a long-term care facility, the DHS recommends first trying to resolve the issue by contacting a facility administrator. To lodge a formal complaint of a facility, injured parties may contact the state Ombudsman at (573) 526-0727 or (800) 309-3282, and should file a report online at Health.MO.gov.

Allegations of elder abuse are investigated by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS). Abuse can include neglect, exploitation, abandonment, physical or emotional abuse, and theft. To confidentially report a suspected act of elder abuse, call the Missouri Adult Abuse and Neglect Hotline at (800) 392-0210, or use the online complaint form at Health.MO.gov.
