There are also Benedictine Sisters in Cullman, AL (but they are not too solid). And there's a school run by Nashville Dominicans in Birmingham.

There is a home for the elderly ( called "Carmel Home" ) run by the Carmelites of the Divine Heart of Jesus in KY, too, not far from Whitesville, in Owensboro. Their main house, from what I understand, is in St. Louis. But the Owensboro house is worth visiting. It's on beautiful grounds and has a gorgeous chapel on the first floor.

Last year we did a one day nun run. In less than 12 hours we visited the Passionists, Pink Sisters and Poor Clares (in IL though, not MO). It was very reasonable. I would add that we also have Visitation sisters (Second Federation).
