Here for you and your loved ones.

Choosing a new home is a journey of the heart.

Your story is also ours.

You are not alone.
We’re here for you and your family.

Being faced with the decision to place a loved one into a skilled nursing facility is never an easy choice. You may feel as if you’re dealing with more than a financial or physical decision – it can also be a deep emotional experience. You may encounter certain emotions of sadness, guilt, loss, or question your responsibilities.

We’ve had families who’ve approached us and said, “I’m so worn out. I want to care for them, but I barely have enough time for my spouse and family.” Or “they really need more care than I can provide, but I keep feeling bad about putting them into a nursing home.”

Feeling that way is understandable, but it may help to lean on someone who can help you navigate this difficult time.

Let us help you lighten your load.  Let’s talk about what is going on, and what might best help your loved one and you at this important juncture in life.

It’s a Family Affair?

Who's Involved?

It’s always a good idea to keep people in the loop, especially the loved ones of the prospective residents and their other family members.

Knowing Needs and Wants

Let’s Plan!

As we get to know you and you get to know us, we want to know how we can best serve your needs.

Financial Discernment

Considerations...

We look over the financial status with you to discern the possibility of admission.

Accepted for Admission

Let’s keep going!

Everything looks good and we are moving forward to help your loved one move in!

Care-Plan Meeting

The Big Picture...

All aspects are considered in the meeting, especially how to meet the clinical and social needs in the best way possible. Everyone is involved in this holistic approach to caring for your loved one.

Set a Date!

Now or Later?

At times depending on the situation, the admission occurs sooner rather than later. Setting a date allows your loved one to adjust to the thought of transition, and it also gives you the opportunity to plan and decorate their room!

Move-in Day

Welcome Home!

Welcome to the MOGCH family! We’re excited to have you join us and we’re honored to be entrusted with the daily care for your loved one(s).

"For the past three years, you have cared for my sister with so much kindness and good cheer. You made a cruel disease so much kinder and gentler through your faith-inspired and loving service. At home, I could rest easy knowing Ginny was in your hands."

- Joan

"Mom was so happy at Mother of Good Counsel Home. She would tell us often how lucky she felt to live there and to receive the type of care she was getting. She loved being able to attend daily Mass, see the sisters often and be surrounded by so much love, care and concern. We felt blessed and at ease knowing she was in the best of places and that she was well taken care of."

- The Patton Family

"Mother of Good Counsel Home is one of the most treasured institutions in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, because the Sisters have manifested to the residents here that they are most treasured in the eyes of God, and that they have the first title to our loving care."

- Cardinal Raymond Burke

"Mother of Good Counsel Home cared for my mother-in-law in 2010. Each time my wife visited her mom she came home at peace, able to be a wife, a mother and a daughter because she knew that her mom was in good hands. I saw first hand the care that my mother-in-law received and it was far better than my mom received at a different facility years later. Once you find this place you won't look any where else for care for your loved one."

- Bill

Let’s get started!

Now that you’ve seen the process of how an admission happens (and how it’s not as daunting as you might’ve thought), you can fill out this form and we can have a little chat! Filling out this form is not a commitment — our goal is to give you the counsel and resources you need to make the right choice for you and your loved one.
