Continuing Care Community in Springfield, Missouri

Daughter

The food here is terrible! My dad asks me to bring him dinner because he can\'t eat what they serve, nor does he get what he ordered. Air conditioning units in the rooms are loud and make it hard to sleep. They promised us that the room would be cleaned before he moved in, but a minimal amount was done. They could have at least cleaned the carpet.

We visited The Montclair for my mom. It was really nice, but it was more expensive than what we're looking for an independent living place. The apartments were very large, very open, and well-lit. They were beautiful. The staff was very friendly. It was one that I just kind of dismissed because of the cost, but it seemed extremely clean, and well maintained. The staff were nothing but friendly and helpful.

My mother is currently at The Cambridge in Springfield and everything is working out really well. So far, she is pleased. I like her apartment, it's all she needs. Her last one was bigger than that, but I really think this one's cozy. She's got a very small kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. There's a linen closet, a coat closet, and big closet in her bedroom. The staff is very, very friendly. My mom can't do anything, but they have an exercise room and they play games out in the front.

My mom and my dad were able to stay at The Montclair in Springfield and I did not care for it. The staff wasn't very friendly and everyone was griping about the food. They had gone through three chefs within a month and they were out of cleaning people. I think my mom only got her place cleaned two times when she was there. The maintenance guys were quitting. I don't know what was going on there. Her apartment was bigger than her current facility. It had a bigger kitchen, bigger living room and bigger bathroom. It was pretty upscale compared to what she has now. My dad moved into it too. That was fine, but for her she didn't need one that big. She hardly ever ate the food there. They had activities, but my mom didn't go to any. They had areas outside to sit. Overall it was OK, but their trash room was never clean.

I toured The Waterford at Ironbridge. It was very, very nice, and the person who gave me the tour was very nice, but they don't have any patio or balcony units. They have a library, no swimming pool, but lots of activities, everything like that. The staff members were all very good.
