The Gardens has been my home since June 2023. It is a very caring, pleasant and comfortable community in which to live. The Management and Staff are to be commended. They cannot be better. Nicole, Kim, Debbie and Brent are always attentive to taking care of our needs. I have seen them go from their regular duties to fill in where needs arise. When other employees' positions are unattended (due to staff shortages) they, without hesitation, step up and fill in. They always perform in their usual professional, caring and happy manner. Having served as an officer of a corporation with five subsidiaries, and privileged to have been an officer and member of the board of each, I am familiar with the qualities it takes to be flexible and special. Thank you. Ruth Lott

I am moving my parents into The Gardens this weekend. Our experience with them so far has been awesome! The grounds and buildings are beautiful and all the residents are so cheerful. The amenities are above and beyond what similar properties offer. The staff are the absolute best! Brent has been so friendly and helpful in answering our hundreds of questions. He has held our hands tight as we have walked through what could have been a stressful transition.

I was looking for a facility for a family member and toured several in the Springfield area. Nice facility. Very well kept up. They have a lot of faith based offerings at their facility. They have a large number of activities offered every day. Brent who is their sales director was amazing to work with and made moms move in smooth and effortless.

These folks took care of my Dad with such care and genuine interest. Even when transitioning from independent living to more advanced care, all of the staff did their best to visit with my father, make sure he was still included in the community and showed genuine affection for my Dad. My Dad was not a 'joiner' by nature, but the staff regularly got him to do Bingo, Cheese and Wine parties, ice cream socials and even swimming. I just can't say enough about how much easier this place made it for my father. The Gardens should be on anyone's 'short list' when looking for comfortable, caring, senior accommodations at reasonable cost.

I was there with a group of Account Manager's for a meeting. The building was remarkable. So pristine. If my mother and father were still living, I would highly recommend The Gardens to them. 5+++ all the way girls.

Moving my grandmother from Kansas City presented a few challenges. Not only was I unfamiliar with the senior care industry in Springfield but I also needed to find a specific residence. The residence needed to offer assistive services (assisted living), provide a Medicaid option in the event my grandmother outlived her savings, and accept new residents immediately. Meeting these essential requirements led me to choose the Gardens. Though I chose the Gardens based upon specific criteria, they have since given me reason to believe that the Gardens was ultimately the best place for my grandmother. They have earned my trust with regard to my grandmother’s care. Below are experiences that led to this conclusion. Note: I am unsure if using specific names is desired so to retain privacy, I mention people by general titles. From the beginning of my search the marketing director helped guide me through the process of moving my grandmother. She responded quickly to my inquiries and the information she provided turned out to be accurate. The paperwork was straightforward and processed without delay. Most importantly, she was able to secure a room that enabled my grandmother to remain a resident even if she exhausted her personal expenses. It is worth mentioning that many facilities with Medicaid residents offer rooms similar to a 2-person hospital room. That is, two people share one bathroom and one room. The Gardens, however, are setup where the bathroom is shared but each person has his/her own bedroom and a shared living/kitchen area. In my opinion, this fact makes the Garden worth considering when searching for a residence. The location is clean, has two fairly-well maintained courtyards, and, via well-placed windows, a lot of natural light. The last point seems trivial but in comparison to my grandmother’s previous independent residence in Kansas City, the natural light is pleasant. The nursing staff is attentive and caring. They are prompt in attending to my grandmother’s concerns and requests as well as informing me of legitimate issues. As one example, my grandmother’s nurse caught the early stages of pneumonia. As a result of her acumen, my grandmother recovered quickly. The head nurse of the Gardens is a genuinely caring person, checking my grandmother’s physical and emotional well-being as well as ensuring her time at the Gardens is comfortable. One area of improvement, and I share this with hesitation, would be activities. Though there are various activities, given my grandmother’s limitations she perceives her participation is limited. For residents in a similar situation, more board games or interactive socials might be of benefit. My hesitation in sharing this constructive criticism is, first, I think my grandmother could participate in more activities than she believes she can and, second, I feel we all share some responsibility in providing entertainment by, for example, volunteering or donating simple games. Overall, I would highly recommend the Gardens. ------ Side note. When I went to post this review, I noticed the previous post from Mr. Williams. It is true that the majority, if not all, of residents are caucasian. That is not necessarily true of the staff. Though my experience has been positive and I cannot envision the staff being unkind, I cannot speak to how current residents might treat a non-caucasian resident. It might be a point worth considering in your search.
