The Village Of Cameron, also known as The Village Retirement Community, sits in Cameron, Missouri, at 320 Little Brick St, and has served residents since 1983, offering a mix of assisted living, independent living, residential care, and senior apartments, so you can see right away they've built a variety of choices for folks depending on how much help they need or how independent they're feeling, and they've even added 25 new private assisted living rooms and 12 independent apartments, all of which you can furnish yourself, which is nice if you like your own things around you. The place works as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), meaning once someone moves in, they can shift between different care levels, depending on their needs, with support for everything from simple medication help and incontinence care to memory care and even respite or short-term stays if family caregivers need a break or if someone's recovering from an illness. The Village Of Cameron has a strong nursing staff with a Director of Nursing, house doctor, CMTs, CMAs, and CNAs available to give attention to health issues around the clock, and there's always 24-hour supervision. They provide diabetes management, medication support, and have a holistic approach that looks after mind, body, and spirit, so if you're looking for more than just medical care-they're thinking bigger. There's a nearby sister community, Village Senior Residence, which does independent and assisted living as well.
Amenities include private or semi-private rooms that they've recently updated so more are private now, and pets like cats or dogs can live with you in many cases, which a lot of people appreciate, though you can't have pets in every room. The community allows smoking in designated spots, has accessible rooms with things like wheelchair showers, and the apartments have views of shared spaces. There's a focus on keeping life lively with group activities, spa treatments, socials, on-site and off-site events, religious programs, and group exercise, plus a full three meals a day, help with housekeeping and laundry, and even a beautician comes by. There's free transportation for residents, parking for those who drive, and plenty of indoor and outdoor areas to gather or relax, which is good for staying connected with others, and internet and satellite services are available but details on how that works haven't been shared publicly. The staff under the Wilkinson family and The Goodman Group, who've both been involved in senior care for decades, look to help residents feel at home with warmth and steady attention, and there's a Platinum Service program that tries to make sure care stays at a high level. They don't allow pets everywhere, but there are pet-friendly spots, and although the details on some building bits like floors or garages aren't listed, folks have noted the common spaces are pleasant, and the community works to include people of all backgrounds, following laws that prevent discrimination and protect resident rights. The Village Of Cameron is known for its friendly staff, the flexibility of living arrangements, and the support offered to folks as their needs change, with the original goal still clear: to help each person keep their independence and dignity for as long as possible.
