Country Squire in St. Joseph, Missouri, is an independent-living community designed for older adults who are still largely self-reliant but want a structured safety net. Residents have access to 24-hour staff who can respond to emergencies through an in-room call system, periodic wellness checks, and coordination with outside medical providers for services such as physical therapy, home health, or visiting nurse care. Medication reminders and transportation to local physician appointments are available, helping residents maintain consistent treatment plans without giving up their independence.
Beyond direct health oversight, the community offers routine housekeeping, laundry, scheduled maintenance, and security monitoring to keep day-to-day living uncomplicated. A full-time lifestyle team organizes daily routines that balance freedom with structure, while scheduled transportation allows residents to handle errands or social visits safely. These features let occupants focus on personal interests, knowing practical support is on hand whenever needed.
Accommodation options range from studio to one-bedroom layouts, and not every residence includes every feature. Some units are pet friendly, others have wheelchair-accessible showers, and select apartments come wired for high-speed internet and cable or satellite TV. Outdoor areas give residents space for fresh air, and on-site parking is offered for those who still drive. Prospective residents should confirm which features are available in any specific unit.
The dining program provides three daily meals prepared on site, with menus reviewed for balanced nutrition. Standard offerings can be modified for common dietary needs such as reduced sodium or diabetic considerations. Meals are served restaurant-style in a communal dining room, encouraging social interaction, and snacks are available between meals for added flexibility.
Residents can stay engaged through an activity center that hosts games, exercise classes, and educational sessions. The grounds allow time outdoors for walking, gardening, or sitting with neighbors, and scheduled social outings take groups to local events, shopping centers, and restaurants. Together, these services support an active, predictable routine without residents having to arrange activities on their own.
