About the facility Garden Place Columbia

Surrounded by lush fields, Garden Place Columbia is a licensed senior living community with a homelike ambience. Near the Missouri and Illinois border, the community is just 15 miles south of St. Louis. Feel at ease knowing two hospitals are within driving distance, one being a veteran’s hospital.

Take a stroll along the paved walking paths surrounded by landscaped lawns. Relax in the shade underneath the small white gazebo, or enjoy the waterfront view with lush greenery surrounding the fishing pond. Your loved one can maintain their faith-based lifestyle at the on-site chapel where religious services are hosted. From cooking classes to dog therapy, the community has a full activity calendar. Seniors can enjoy nutritious meals in the cafe-style dining area with a salad bar. Nutritional and dietary needs are accommodated.

Tailored care is provided for seniors in need of independent living, assisted living, and short-term respite stays. Natural light fills the spacious studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments from the bay windows. Beyond round-the-clock care attendants, emergency call systems are monitored on-site 24/7. The community allows small pets, but additional charges may apply. With seven programs at Garden Place Columbia, seniors can life an active and fulfilling lifestyle.

Would not recommend and very disappointed

I would give all of these rating questions negative scores, but that is not available. They are a business to make money every thing else is secondary . My mom was there 3 days and got covid and didn't go back...they charged me a total of [removed] dollars.

A place for Dad

Garden place has been great! My dad is 98 but can pretty much take care of himself except for a few minor things. He needs help remembering to take his medicine and food preperation. He has been to another community and they didn't do half of what the Garden Place does. Dad is not just a number but an individual that is shown respect. Every staff member is wonderful and caring and they all know my dad. If dad ever needs anything they will go out if their way to help. Garden place is more than where dad use to be for independent living but the Garden Place does so much more that other communities consider assisted living. The food is good and we can join dad for a meal at a very reasonable price. The only thing my dad complains about is they do not have much activities in the evenings. The Garden Place encourages residents to make suggestions on how to make things better so dad will be making that suggestion once he remembers to. I'm so glad we found the garden Place through a place for mom. We can relax and know dad is being well cared for. They have a residents wear an emergency button that is nit only an emergency button but a GPS tracker

Garden Place

My mother-in-law is at Garden Place and has been there for about nine months. The food looks appetizing and my mother-in-law likes it. There are field trips to shopping centers and restaurants. Bingo all the time. The employees are very friendly and definitely know everyone by name. The place is not large and is situated in a square, so even with memory loss, you can usually find your apartment. Help is always available for the residents.

Garden Place Senior Living

I have not visited the facility on Main Street. This rating is for the facility on DD Road, Senior Living. The care and attention that is given is outstanding. Lacey has met every request so far to help my parents feel at home. The staff is always smiling, cheerful, positive. I have stayed for two weekend visits now, and each time leave my parents feeling assured that they are in good hands, while giving them a little space to be independant. My mother is being spoiled and pampered with the attention that she receives. The facility always clean. This facility was perfect for my parents, being in a small town that they were familiar with, allows them their freedom to come and go while making sure that the basic needs are met. It was a perfect fit for my parent's needs.
