At roughly 44% occupancy, this facility is running well below its certified bed capacity, worth asking why directly.
Same-ownership peers
Within Missouri, Good Shepherd Care Center is one of 20 government - county nursing homes CMS rates. Its 5-star overall rating sits above the government - county-segment average of 2.6 stars, ahead of roughly 80% of same-ownership peers in the state.
