Recent reviews of Independent Living in Dade County, MO
The Township Senior Living in Battlefield, MO
4.1

Friendly, helpful staff. Nice facility. Visit twice weekly and consistent care and experience. I would recommend them to others looking.

Bristol Manor of Willard
4.0

One of the reasons why I chose this facility for my Mother is because it is a low capacity community with only 12 residents and it does not feel institutionalized. The staff members themselves are open, warm, and communicate with me very well. They do offer a lot of activities like puzzles, books on tape, and a radio to listen to. The meals are at the same time every day and they have a specified dining hall. The facility itself is kept up with very well and it has a family feel. It’s always clean here and it looks like a home. It is an older building and they could get a little more creative with the colors. I would recommend this facility to other families.

The Gardens Independent Living in Springfield, MO
4.9

We did some price comparisons online and over the phone but The Gardens was the only place we really looked at because we liked the price the bset. They are all very friendly and helpful.
