Springfield Skilled Care Center sits at 2401 West Grand St. in Springfield, Missouri, and has more than 200 beds, offering both skilled nursing and residential living, so there's a lot of space for folks who need short-term help or longer care. The place is owned by a team of healthcare professionals who're really focused on senior living, and you can find services that cover assisted living, long-term care, hospice, respite stays, and support for people with Alzheimer's disease and other memory problems through Andrew's Retreat, which is a separate part of the building set up for dementia care. There's skilled nursing help available, with supervision ranging from 12 to 16 hours a day, plus a 24-hour call system so someone can get help when they need it, and the staff helps with daily activities like bathing, getting dressed, taking medicine, eating, and getting around. They set up personal care plans to match the needs of each resident, and there's regular medication management and oversight, along with access to dental, vision, and foot care right on-site, which is handy. Folks here can take part in physical, occupational, speech, and language therapies if they're working on recovery.
Springfield Skilled Care Center also provides transportation for outside appointments or group outings, and there's a calendar of social and recreational activities such as exercise classes, games, arts and crafts, and group events, all happening in rooms like the activity room, game room, library, and dining room, which can also be used for family visits and celebrations like birthdays. The nutrition team works out meal plans, taking individual needs into account, and staff handle weekly housekeeping and case management. There's a beauty salon and a barbershop for hair care. The community has both private rooms, which come furnished and include private bathrooms, and shared suites, which still give a private bathroom. Walking paths, a fitness room, and areas to spend time with neighbors help keep people active and social. The center brings emotional and behavioral support to residents who need a little extra help coping or adjusting, and the environment aims to promote independence, but staff are never far away when needed. Bryan Mattox and Kelly Shipley are listed as administrators, each overseeing parts of the operation, and the site as a whole keeps a focus on skilled care. The Better Business Bureau gave Springfield Skilled Care Center an A+ rating, and the community is also tied to The Lodges.
