The Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care operates from Springfield, MO, running independent living in addition to assisted living and memory care. The independent apartments include community services, though daily care is excluded. Assisted living residents each keep an apartment and get help getting dressed, bathing, and taking medication. Anyone who may wander is supervised within memory care, and the space is secured.
With all three available, a resident’s care can change as needs change, without a move. Respite covers the gap when someone is ready to leave the hospital, but home isn’t set up yet, and Short-Term Rehab provides rehabilitation on a temporary basis. Garden Homes is a named program here.
Residents are permitted to have pets. Most errands mean a trip by car, since the location scores 47 and counts as car-dependent, which matters once a resident has given up driving.
