Springfield Masonic Community

I was able to visit Springfield Masonic Community and I did not like it. There weren’t a lot of choices for the residents. I think they should need to update their living quarters. It was very old and outdated. The place smelled. The staff were somewhat distant. There were as warm as friendly as other places. They seemed like they had a problem with the management there.

The facility was nice The staff on the other hand was busy reading text messages As a resident yelling for help She need to go to restroom I thought residents came first! In this case the phone is first Residents can wait ! This is there Golden years waiting and waiting In hope that some one might answer there cry and not the phone!! This is not the first time I had to wait for the staff to finish texting to answer a question !

A few years ago I was with my grandmother as my family and I sought to move her into an assisted living facility. During our search for the perfect home for her, we toured nearby Springfield Masonic Community and the assisted living residences. We were welcomed by many staff members and residents into the community and were given a thorough and detailed tour of the facility and amenities. My grandmother eventually chose to make a move down South, however, the impression that this facility left on myself and on my family was great. Should my grandmother have chosen Springfield Masonic Community, she would have had a private room with access to many social gathering areas. Lounges and separate kitchenette areas were available for use, and a large picnic pavilion was available for get-togethers and relaxing with the family. Ramps and elevators made access to dining areas, the gift shop, library, chapel, post office, and offices easy to get to and maneuver around to. Finally, an underground walkway provided access to other campus buildings during inclement weather. Although my grandmother is happy living near her sister in another community, we almost wish she would move back to Springfield not only to be near to us but also to enjoy the many amenities and activities offered by Springfield Masonic Community.
