Seneca House offers Skilled Nursing / Long Term Care.

Seneca House is located at 914 Chickesaw Street in Seneca, Missouri.

Most reviewers describe Seneca House as a warm, home-like skilled nursing community where staff know residents personally and treat them like family. Families and even community members who attend public events like trick-or-treating speak highly of the friendly staff, tasty meals, and engaging activities. One reviewer, however, described the facility very negatively, calling it dirty and uncaring, so experiences appear to vary.

Seneca House had 9 government inspection visits in the last three years, with 47 citations on file according to CMS Care Compare data. The full history, including what each citation was for and whether it was corrected, is in the inspection section on this page.
