Memory Care Communities in Springfield, MO

"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."

"I have chosen Cedarhurst of Springfield for my father. They have met his needs as far as his dementia level goes. The location is fine. The price is OK. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful. It's a big community. They meet the individual needs of the person they're caring for. My father's room is very big for a semi-private room. The place is very clean and very well secured. They have a beautiful garden enclosed in the building. They also have nice walking paths. My father has participated in devotional activities, music, and their general activities."

"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."

"Close to Paradise Senior Care is excellent for my father. The aides are excellent and the communication is excellent. He has a private bedroom. I'm not sure what activities they have. We're not there during the time that they're doing things because of Covid. I just know that my father is satisfied and content and that's worth it all. He does forget, but he doesn't have Alzheimer's. He has dementia though. His room is highly maintained. They have a family room area with a TV, couch and recliners. It's almost like being at home. They have a screened-in patio. Close to Paradise is an answered prayer for us. I can't say enough about them."

"My husband moved to Springhouse Village. It is very nice and spacious. It is quiet and very inviting. They do an excellent job. They're very kind and very gentle. It's obvious that they've had extra education about how to treat memory care people and they do a very good job with that. They oftentimes have celebrations. Every week (more than once even), they have games that are prepared for the memory care residents. Oftentimes, they have something special in the afternoons, like an ice cream time or something like that. I have not sampled the food, but I've been there when they're with my husband when the evening meal is delivered, and it looks very good. I am very pleased with everything."

"The Oaks Cottage is super clean. We liked it because it's really small. They only have 13 rooms. I think they only have nine single rooms and they have two double rooms which is one of the things we liked about it, especially for my dad. The other facilities were great, but they were too big and just too much. He would have been too overwhelmed. It's only four years old. The rooms are good sized. The bathrooms are just what he needs. He is participating in activities, which I was surprised by. They don't do a lot, which is another reason why we chose this place, because he would have been overwhelmed and probably would have hated all the other ones. They do some painting and crafts. They have like a bowling thing they do. They kind of get them moving around, like plastic bowling balls and bowling pins. They do like a baseball-type thing, with a foam pool noodle and a balloon. They do some kind of game with that. They do outdoor walks. The staff has all been real nice and very attentive. They've tried to find what my dad liked to do since he doesn't like to do a whole lot. They tried to figure out what he likes to do and kind of tweak things to his liking. It was one of the cheaper places. It wasn't as expensive and he didn't get all the extra stuff, but he also wouldn't have utilized all that extra stuff. I feel like we're paying for what we get, which is what he needs. The other places had a menu and they got to choose their food. I just wish they had a little more food variety at this place."

"This home is just perfect I recommend for those who don't want to choose big community stay more in home environment "
