Long-Term Care can be covered by Private Pay, Long Term Care Insurance, Veterans Care Agreement, or Medicaid. Post-Acute Rehabilitation care is insurance based. We are in-network with many Medicare Advantage insurance plans. We are happy to discuss your options with you.

We are a 132-bed non-profit facility – 38 private, 31 semi-private suites and 16 semi-private companion rooms.
The Oats Bus Company or The Bluffs transports residents. We do ask that family attend appointments, if possible, to stay updated on your loved one’s health.
Family or Bluffs staff can complete laundry. We ask that clothing is labeled, using a linen marker, with full name to ensure that items are returned to the proper destination.
We provide a bed, dresser, armoire, nightstand, and over-the-bed side table. Recliners and TV are not provided, but cable hookups are available in each room. Phone line hookups are also provided in each room; however, personal phone services are not included in the room rate. Local phone companies can set up phone services just like in-home services are set up. Residents are always welcome to utilize the facility phones!
Residents can bring furniture (excluding beds) from home for a home like experience! We encourage family to design/decorate the room with familiar and comfortable objects.
We offer a main entrée for each meal but have an “always available” menu for those who wish to eat something different.
The Bluffs doesn’t have limited visiting hours – it is important to us that our residents get to see family and friends whenever they wish!
Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy are provided under insurance or private pay. We closely monitor our long-term care residents along with their providers to ensure we reduce declines of health and/or mobility and prevent falls!
We closely work with local hospice companies to provide end-of-life care. We also provide respite services, pending bed availability.
Yes, absolutely! We are partnered with Advanced Senior Care of Columbia with regular physician and nurse practitioner visits. We also partner with a University of Missouri physician. Physicians see residents based on CMS schedule and on an “as needed” basis if a change in condition is noticed.
We take pride in our top-notch activities department – crafts, movie nights, happy hour with live performances, bingo, PedNet Bike Rides, wellness classes, live performances, community outings, church/prayer and trivia to name a few! We always allow volunteers and groups to assist or lead an activity. Reach out to our Life Enrichment department if you have ideas or are interested in helping.
The Bluffs Foundation, founded in 2021, has a simple mission: to promote, advance, and provide for social, moral, physical, and educational welfare of the residents of The Bluffs. They provide new opportunities for our residents by sponsoring and funding resident-centered projects and activities.
