The Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care in Springfield, MO, is licensed for both assisted living and memory care. Residents who need help with daily tasks receive support through the assisted-living program, while individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias are served in a dedicated memory-care setting designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
Beyond the core levels of care, the community offers respite and short-term stays, diabetes management, and 24-hour staffing within a secured environment. On-site professionals deliver medication management, incontinence and ambulatory support, hospice coordination, and specialized therapies—speech, occupational, and physical. A podiatrist visits regularly, and team members are trained to adjust care plans as needs change.
Apartments range in size and layout, and some floor plans include pet-friendly policies, outdoor access, or reserved parking. Not every residence has every feature, so families should confirm availability during a tour.
Dining services provide three meals each day prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, and modified diets can be arranged when required for medical reasons such as diabetes or swallowing difficulties. Staff monitor residents who need assistance with eating and fluid intake.
Residents can spend time outdoors on secured walking paths or join activities in the on-site activity center. Because pets are allowed in certain units, it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
