Overview of Bluff Creek Terrace Senior Living

Bluff Creek Terrace Senior Living provides assisted living, adult day care, hospice care, memory care, and respite care in Columbia, MO. With 48 beds, the community is small enough for staff and residents to become familiar with one another. Studio housing gives each resident one private living space.

Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Adult day care covers care during the day, while hospice care focuses on comfort and support at the end of life. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Bluff Creek Terrace Senior Living may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may change over time or for a family seeking short-term support. Pets are allowed. Jessica Bankhead serves as the administrator, and Columbia Residential operates the community.
