The Village Retirement Community

The Village Retirement Community in Cameron, Missouri, has served seniors since 1983 and sits next to Village Senior Residence, so folks get a range of choices for independent or assisted living, and it's been managed by The Goodman Group, who have over 55 years of experience in senior living and healthcare, and you'll notice right away the common spaces are beautiful and make it easy to mingle. The community offers independent living for active seniors, residential care for those who want extra support with daily activities, and assisted living for people who need some help, and if someone's struggling with memory issues like Alzheimer's, there's memory care that uses special environments to help residents feel calm and safe. The Platinum Service program includes long-term care, memory care, and respite care, and there are private apartments, some pet-friendly ones too, and even some rooms that got converted from shared spaces into private accommodations during recent renovations. The staff includes a Director of Nursing, Certified Medication Technicians, Certified Medication Assistants, Certified Nursing Assistants, and a house doctor, so there are always trained professionals ready to help with things like medication, daily care, or health services, even for folks who need non-ambulatory, diabetic, or incontinence care. Meals are prepared fresh, and residents usually get one or two nutritious meals a day, and there's laundry and housekeeping services along with activities like group exercise, socials, spa treatments, educational clubs, devotional events, and social dining, so there's plenty to do, whether indoors or outside in the common areas, and the transportation is handled, as residents can get rides or park their own cars if they drive. The Village also offers Comfort Care Hospice for those needing that extra level of support at home, and aides are available for companionship and non-medical care. The residents generally need to be at least 55 or 62, depending on the part of the community they pick, and each apartment or residential room has features like wheelchair access and showers, and residents can bring their own furnishings to the independent apartments if they want. Folks who live here like the focus on creating a warm atmosphere where everyone can take part in social activities, get help if needed, and keep up their wellbeing, and the staff and owners like Lisa Stickley, Trusten Chris Wilkinson, and Ronnie Wilkinson work to make sure the place feels comfortable and supportive every day.
