The Cambridge in Springfield, MO is an independent living community that offers residents the ability to maintain a self-directed lifestyle while knowing that targeted support is available when needed.

Additional on-site health resources give residents convenient access to a nurse, occupational and physical therapists, and hospice services when appropriate.
