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.

Maranatha Village, Inc in Springfield, MO

The quality of the housing seems to be very good. It's a new and updated facility, and the apartment size offerings are very good, especially given the price of the rent. The availability of activities has been pretty good, given Covid throwing a wrench in everything. But they're kind of lacking in their newsletter in getting the word out about activities. There seems to be a bit of a delay in the staff getting back to you. But anytime we're face to face with them, they're very friendly, and they have taken care of any issues we've had.
