About Point Lookout

Point Lookout is a skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Hollister, Missouri, with a licensed capacity of 130 residents. It provides post-hospital rehabilitation and ongoing care for adults with significant medical and functional needs.

Families describe deeply polarized experiences. Several report exceptional compassion and attentiveness from nursing staff and dedicated aides, one family noted their brother received care marked by "genuine compassion, professionalism, and dedication" over 13+ months. Others highlight individual standout employees and a clean, pleasant facility atmosphere. However, multiple families detail serious concerns: inadequate assistance with meals and hygiene, missed medications, insufficient physical therapy, delayed medical responses, and understaffing that leaves single CNAs responsible for 26 patients. Food quality varies depending on the cook, and some families report rooms left filthy and residents left unattended for extended periods.

With a 3.8 out of 5 Google rating across 24 reviews, Point Lookout shows a split between families who felt their loved ones received genuinely caring attention and those who encountered neglect or poor coordination of care. The facility's staffing challenges and inconsistency in daily operations emerge as recurring themes across lower-rated reviews.

I am writing to express my gratitude to the entire nursing staff and aides at Point Lookout for the outstanding care they provided to my brother during his 13+ months as a resident. From his admission through to the end of his life, every interaction reflected genuine compassion, professionalism, and dedication. The team consistently ensured his comfort, dignity, and well-being with attentiveness that went beyond routine duties. Their kindness and skill made an immeasurable difference during a challenging time, offering not only excellent medical and daily care but also emotional support to me, his brother. I felt confident knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. Thank you sincerely for your tireless efforts and heartfelt commitment. Your work is deeply appreciated and will always be remembered with gratitude.

Horrible place to have a loved one. Food is really bad not worth eating, I wouldn't eat it myself. They left her laying in her bed for a long period of time. Her roommate has complained about the same problem. They started treating them both even worse. The room was not cleaned and was filthy.

It tugged at our heart strings to have my dad there. Transferred there by Cox South and easier for my mom to get to, because of the five mile difference, from home to Point lookout. We were a little iffy to say the least, when we saw how the building looked inside, couldn’t get a working tv to work, and horrible cell phone coverage. My nephew had to take something to my dad during dinner and after seeing what they served for a meal, plus a bad dinner experience for another patient, was enough to make us say this is not a place for our loved one. He stayed that one night, and my mom and nephew were there to get him , after the meeting with administrator. We felt that we could give him better care ourselves, and glad to say he is responding well at home. Unless you can be there to fully monitor your loved one, I Do Not Reccomend this Facility
