Overview of Avenues at Springfield

Avenues at Springfield in Springfield, IL, offers assisted living and independent living. Its care also includes memory care and skilled nursing.

Independent residents get community services, while daily care stays with the other levels. Assisted living residents keep a private room and get staff support for medication, bathing, and dressing. Staff in memory care supervise anyone with a wandering risk inside a secured setting. Licensed nurses cover the skilled nursing level around the clock, backed by 24-hour staffing.

With all four levels on site, a resident can move to the next one as needs grow and stay in the same community. Rooms are private, so no one shares a bedroom. Onsite and tele psychiatric services are available, along with psychotherapy, addiction specialists, and services for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Outings are on the calendar, and there’s a library. Cookouts, darts, a music program, and coffee hour fill time at home. Errands mostly call for a car or a driver, since the neighborhood rates car-dependent at 42.
