Recent reviews of Independent Living in Cole County, MO
Heisinger Bluffs in Jefferson City, MO
5.0

I have a dear friend at Heisinger Bluffs in Assisted Living. She often talks about how she is so happy she moved to Heisinger Bluffs. She loves her spacious apartment and often comments on the kindness, professionalism, and expertise of the staff. She thinks the food is exceptional and much better than she expected. She enjoys the wellness center and exercise classes as well as the many activities. She recommends Heisinger Bluffs very highly, as do I.

Ashbury Heights of Jefferson City
5.0

We had to place my mom in an assisted living that was able to care for Alzheimer's, Ashbury Heights was a perfect fit, one because it is a very small facility and they are like family. The first week was very hard on us kids and on our mom and they were so patient and understanding and would give hugs and tell her they loved her and was so happy she was there with them. I truly believe they made the difference in her excepting where she is. She will tell me today that she would never be able to stay if it wasn't for a friend she has already made there and Shannon (the manager).
