Meyer Care Center

Meyer Care Center, located at 1201 West 19th Street in Higginsville, Missouri, is a nonprofit skilled nursing facility serving seniors and families across Lafayette County and the surrounding west-central Missouri region. Operated by a nonprofit corporation, Meyer Care Center reflects a mission-driven approach to elder care—one focused on community benefit, compassionate service, and long-term stewardship over profit. Higginsville sits along the I-70 corridor in Lafayette County, approximately 55 miles east of Kansas City and 85 miles west of Columbia, making it a central, accessible location for families spread across western Missouri. The city itself carries a rich history—Higginsville is home to the Missouri Confederate Memorial State Historic Site, a unique Civil War-era landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. The town features a welcoming community character, local parks, and the everyday conveniences of a small Missouri city, including dining options, a local library, and community events that connect residents to the broader life of the area. For medical resources, Higginsville is served by Lafayette Regional Health Center in nearby Lexington, Missouri, and the greater Kansas City metropolitan health systems—including Research Medical Center, North Kansas City Hospital, and others—are within an hour's drive for advanced specialty care. Meyer Care Center delivers the full range of skilled nursing services: post-acute rehabilitation following hospitalization, physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, chronic disease management, wound care, and around-the-clock licensed nursing support. As a nonprofit facility, the center reinvests in its staff, programs, and physical environment rather than returning dividends to shareholders—a distinction that many families find meaningful when selecting long-term care. For families in Higginsville, Lexington, Waverly, Concordia, and across Lafayette County, Meyer Care Center offers professional skilled nursing care grounded in community values—a facility where the mission to serve seniors is genuine, enduring, and reflected in every aspect of daily care.
