In the fourth quarter of 2023, Nodaway Healthcare stood out as the third largest nursing home in Nodaway County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 60 beds available, 14 less than the average in Nodaway County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 30.1 residents during that period.

Nodaway Healthcare had an overall rating of 1 from the CMS, which lags behind the average of 2.5 recorded for nursing homes in Missouri.

During the quarter, Maryville Living Center stood out as the largest nursing home in Nodaway County, with 105 beds available. Parkdale Manor Health and Rehabilitation came in second place, with 86 beds available.

In total, there were four for-profit nursing homes in Nodaway County, Missouri.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
