Overview of The Cambridge Senior Living

The Cambridge Senior Living offers independent living in Springfield, Missouri, in the Meador Park neighborhood. Private apartments come with community services rather than daily care, making the home a potential fit for someone who manages daily needs independently but wants services available on site.

Residents can choose a studio, one bedroom, or two bedroom apartment. A studio provides one private space, while the larger layouts offer more room. Starting prices are $2,145.00, $2,460.00, and $3,060.00, but the available facts do not connect each price to a particular layout, so these are different starting points within the offering. Pets are allowed, which means a resident can move in with a pet.

Restaurant dining, a 24 hour bistro, concierge service, transportation services, and the Events & Entertainment program provide options for meals, assistance, transportation, and activities within the community. There is also a full service restaurant and a Restaurant program. A Walk Score of 75 places the area in the very walkable category, so most errands can be completed on foot and someone who no longer drives can still reach nearby destinations independently. Dylan Hollister-Graham serves as director.
