The Wildwood Senior Living in Joplin, Missouri offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and a secured Memory Care community. Residents who need a short recovery period after illness or surgery can arrange Respite or Short-Term Stays, and individuals managing diabetes receive monitoring and support. Regular physician visits are available on site, and a speech therapist is part of the care team to help residents maintain or regain communication abilities.
Medical support extends to daily medication coordination and management, hospice oversight when required, and comprehensive incontinence and ambulatory care. A licensed nurse is on campus, and residents may schedule sessions with occupational, physical, and speech therapists as well as an optometrist or podiatrist. Apartments in the Memory Care neighborhood are specifically designed to reduce confusion and promote familiarity, making it easier for residents with cognitive loss to navigate their surroundings safely.
Accommodations range from studios to larger apartments and include options such as kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, and balconies, terraces, or patios. Select homes feature Wi-Fi, cable TV, and individual climate control. Common spaces provide a central fireplace, piano or organ, outdoor deck, butterfly garden, and accessible parking, though not every unit contains every feature. Pet-friendly policies allow many residents to bring a small companion animal.
Dining is available throughout the day, with a professional chef preparing restaurant-style meals and optional guest dining. Rotating menus can include international dishes, kosher or vegetarian plates, and recipes that meet low-sodium, no-sugar, gluten-free, vegan, or organic preferences. Residents who want lighter fare outside scheduled meal times can request snacks or beverages on demand.
Residents have access to an activity center, clubs and community groups, a library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and a swimming pool with adjacent Jacuzzi. Fitness offerings include chair yoga and other structured programs, while entertainment ranges from karaoke and live music to happy hour, birthday parties, and dances. Intergenerational and sensory-based programs encourage varied social interaction, and scheduled social outings extend engagement beyond the campus.
