Nursing homes across Barry County, Missouri, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Lacoba Homes runs a church-affiliated nonprofit in Monett with 79 beds, and its recent inspection history is the strongest thing it has going: a 5-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a survey completed in January 2026. The staffing picture is more mixed than the raw average suggests. Overall nurse hours come in around 12% above the national figure, but weekends drop roughly 19% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 51.4% against a national 45.8%. Ten deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. Strong inspections, thinner weekend coverage, and steady staff churn, that's the tradeoff to weigh.
Aspire Senior Living Roaring River runs 90 certified beds in Cassville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its record shows why the federal inspection score sits at the bottom. Inspectors have cited 48 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $46,303 are on file. Nurse staffing runs 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage. Quality measures score better than the inspection or staffing ratings. Ownership is for-profit through a limited liability company, and the last inspection was March 1, 2024.
Cassville Health Care Center is a 60-bed for-profit home in Barry County, and the federal numbers there are hard to read past. Nurse staffing sits at 2.79 hours per resident day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 4% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 82 deficiencies, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with one fine of $123,925. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Its last inspection was October 1, 2024. All three CMS star ratings sit at one out of five.
