Independent Living Communities in Springfield, MO

"I'm at Creekside at Elfindale and I'm really happy here. It's a perfect independent living in a community that has very gorgeous grounds. Everybody is very friendly. They have taken care of us well through the COVID thing. It's just a fantastic place to live. To me, when it comes to retiring, this place is the icing on the cake. The facility is fantastic. I eat in the dining area about four or five times a month, and I've never had a bad serving of food. We have a clubhouse where there is a workout facility. And then the lodge has workout facilities, an activity room, and a library. I live in one of the duplexes, and it is affordable for me. We have a lot of trips to the Branson shows. We have a dinner trip every month. They have activities for women. We have two activity directors here that keep us busy. They have independent living, which is the duplexes. They have the lodge, which is like apartments, and that's where the dining room is. We also have on the premises an assisted living facility, a rehabilitation center, and a nursing home. The property has a creek running through it. We have trails to walk. We have deer and turkey, and other wild animals roaming the area. It's just a perfect home away from home. It's a perfect place for retired people to live in."

"We're at the Montclair. It's independent living, but they have home health care agency in the building, and they are always available. My wife, for example, had heart tremors and they were up here immediately, and then they sent her to Mercy Hospital by ambulance. It's a five-story building with a central atrium. We're on the fourth of five floors. We have what was meant to be a two-bedroom apartment, but we use one of the rooms as an office for ourselves, and then there's the bedroom, the living room area, then a full kitchen and two full baths. There are a lot of activities here. They have church services on Sundays. The dining room is very accessible. They serve three meals a day and quite a range of choices. They always have a featured meal, but they also have other alternatives if you don't want to eat the featured meal. They have a full-time activities director. There's a beauty shop/barber shop in the building. The interaction with the staff is very good. The housekeeping staff are very helpful. There is full-time staff here 24 hours a day. The only complaint we have about this building is that they don't have assisted living in the building. We really wish they would have that, but other than that it's very good. We can't participate in all of the activities because there are too many. They have bridge and other card games. They have live music in the atrium several days a week. They have church services here. I don't personally attend that because we go to a different church, but they have a service here in the building. The night staff is extremely helpful. From 5:00 till 8:00 in the morning they have night staff here, which are not administrative, and they'll do anything we need. It's quite good."

"I enjoy Cobblestone. I certainly appreciate the time and effort the office staff, Donna and Alexus and (recently retired) Twyla make to enable us to live in a comfortable manner. The pool area is an added bonus. I also enjoy having a coffee/"game" room. The location couldn't be better. A grocery store, banks, dentist, beauty salon, restaurants and auto service station are all very close by."

"My brother is a resident of Mission Ridge Assisted Living. They're very nice, very thoughtful, helpful, and they get good care. His room is adequate, not overly big, but it's very clean and nice. The food is very good. They have bingo, get-togethers, crafts, exercise, and television. The staff is very thoughtful and pretty much on top of everything. They keep in touch if there's a question, and they give me a call."

"My wife was at Glendale Gardens Nursing & Rehab. The people there were nice. They were good. The food was OK. The facility was fairly clean. It could have been a little bit better, but I think they were a little short-staffed. My wife wasn't there very long but I know they played some bingo. The atmosphere was good. The rooms were small and cramped. Their dining area was really nice, clean, and well-organized."

"We liked Turners Rock the best out of the ones that we toured. It seemed to be the nicest, cleanest, and friendliest amenities. The apartment we looked at was very nice. It was a one-bedroom with a washer and dryer combo. The amenities there were much more like living at home than in some other places. The staff was well-educated and knowledgeable about what they were doing."

"My grandmother moved to NorthPark Village. It's very cozy. I forget how many residents they said they had, but it was a small number, so I felt good that I knew they were going to give her the attention she needed, and they weren't, like, overpopulated or anything. It felt very comfortable, and the decorations were nice. It had that homey vibe, so I knew my grandma would enjoy it. The staff seem very friendly and super nice. I feel like they have a pretty close connection with their residents. I overheard one of them talking about taking one of the residents out for their birthday. So I think that they care about the people there. They do bingo pretty regularly and they said something about Wheel of Fortune. I know that they said once a week, that not everybody has to go, but that they would allow people to go on a trip to town, Walmart was pretty popular, but they usually took a poll to see where everyone wanted to go. They also said something about the library coming and they can borrow books. I have had a couple of lunches there with my grandma, and the food is really good. They said that they've had that chef for several years. I feel like they said it was in the teens that he's been there with them, but it seemed like good food. I was very comfortable leaving my grandma there."
