What does an Option 2 assisted living license mean for residents at Addington Place of Shoal Creek?

As an Option 2 assisted living facility, Addington Place of Shoal Creek may serve residents who can't evacuate the building on their own, as long as it staffs for evacuations and writes an individualized evacuation plan into each such resident's service plan.

DHSS describes this level as a facility that may accept or retain residents with an impairment that prevents their safe evacuation, but only with added staffing to assist in evacuations and an individualized evacuation plan in the resident's service plan. Missouri assisted living follows a social model of care and may keep a resident only if that person doesn't need hospitalization or skilled nursing placement (19 CSR 30-86).

Yes. Addington Place of Shoal Creek has disclosed an Alzheimer's special care unit to DHSS.

Missouri has no separate memory care license. Under RSMo 198.510 a facility offering an Alzheimer's special care unit must file a disclosure with DHSS describing what makes the care suited to people with dementia, and give it to the family at admission. Ask for it before you tour.
