Maranatha Village, Inc

233 East Norton Rd, Springfield, MO 65803-3633
Overview of Maranatha Village

Maranatha Village offers assisted living and independent living in Springfield, MO. In assisted living, residents receive help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication while keeping their own apartment. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care.

Having both care levels on one campus may suit a resident whose needs change over time, since a move to a different community may not be necessary. Premier Rehab provides rehabilitation services, including short term rehab, for people who need temporary recovery support. Maranatha Village opened in 1973 and has 149 beds.

A Walk Score of 94 places the area in the walker's paradise band, meaning daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Pets are allowed, so residents may be able to keep a pet with them. Brian Miller serves as the administrator.

Overview of Gardens Senior Living Community

The numbers alone tell part of the story: 148 beds, three layout options, multiple decades of operation, and a care menu that spans assisted living, memory care, short-term rehab, and respite, all in a single-story building on Springfield’s west side. Gardens Senior Living Community, operated by BSLC II and run day-to-day by administrator Heather Brown, is built for range. That breadth is the defining feature.

The on-site service list is substantial. Pharmacy, therapy, podiatry, and medication management are all available without leaving the building, and licensed nurses and CNAs are on-site around the clock. For families weighing how long a placement will hold as needs shift, that infrastructure matters. The Garden Homes program is a named offering within the community, and religious services are available on-site, which will be relevant for residents and families for whom faith life is part of daily routine.

Restaurant-style dining, a fitness center, chapel, library, computer center, Jacuzzi spa, and salon fill out the amenity picture. The neighborhood at 1302 W Sunset St in the Mark Twain area has a Walk Score of 47, meaning most trips out will need a car or transportation coordination. Studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units are available, so housing options scale with circumstance.

Gardens is a practical match for older adults who need substantive on-site medical support across a range of care levels, and for families who want a faith-oriented community large enough to accommodate changing needs without requiring a move.

Missouri Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Missouri) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
