Joplin Skilled Nursing Facilities

Joplin has eight skilled nursing homes, but Medicare ratings are very low. The average overall score is 1.0 stars out of five, with the highest-rated facility receiving only one star. Most homes fall at or below this rating, reflecting widespread performance issues. Names include NHC Healthcare, Joplin, Greenbriar, Aspire Senior Living, and Meadows Care Center.

Staffing measures show limited care capacity. The average is 3.3 nursing hours per resident daily, with only 0.4 hours provided by a registered nurse. High occupancy at 94% of licensed beds may strain resources further. These numbers suggest challenging staffing levels for consistent care.

Jasper County has three hospitals, including Mercy Hospital Joplin, offering nearby medical access. Statewide, shared room costs average $50,735 yearly. With local ratings remaining poor, families should consider better-rated options in neighboring towns. Check federal ratings online for current data before deciding.
