Barnes-Jewish Extended Care
The Perfect Location for Care in the Perfect Location for Living.
A consistently high rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. A better-than-average staff-to-patient ratio in our rehabilitation and skilled nursing neighborhoods. And a 100% commitment to caring for sub-acute and medically complex conditions.
That’s Barnes-Jewish Extended Care.
The superb reputation and resources of the renowned Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University physicians. A level of care that goes well beyond traditional skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. A highly desirable Clayton address. And a daily dining experience that most restaurants would proudly offer.
That’s also Barnes-Jewish Extended Care.
No matter how you measure it, Barnes-Jewish Extended Care is an exceptional choice when your loved one requires rehabilitation or skilled nursing care services. Located in Clayton (considered among the best places to live in Missouri), this community puts you—and your loved one—close to everything that’s great about St. Louis while providing unparalleled care, expertise and commitment.

Staying. Safer. Together.
At Barnes-Jewish Extended Care—like every Bethesda community—our highest priority is your health and safety. That’s why we were monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak months before others, and were among the first to provide vaccines for our residents and staff. After more than 130 years, we’ve learned that being proactive is a healthier choice than being reactive.
