The Montclair Senior Living sits in a quiet part of Springfield, with lots of trees and clean, landscaped grounds, and you'll find it's more about giving older adults a safe place where people can feel at home, and they do this by having both independent living and several levels of care, like assisted living, memory care for those who need Alzheimer's Care, even skilled nursing and home care, so people with different needs can all get the help they need. The building's designed for comfort, and there are studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, some in different sizes, and right now you can get a studio that's 448 square feet or a one-bedroom that's either 667 or 858 square feet with one bathroom, and these units have features made for seniors, though there aren't details about the specific amenities in each. People who move into The Montclair get a maintenance-free life, and they don't have to worry about upkeep or repairs, and if you like having space, some units let you have a pet, so you can bring a little friend along, though you'd need to ask which pets are allowed.
You'll find a big, open atrium in the community, with a track for walking and open areas for people to meet up, and there's a piano in the sitting room, a stocked library, a game room, a gym or fitness center, and even a small theater, which gives folks plenty to do when staying inside, and the place is spread out so residents can gather on different floors for activities. They set up a good number of daily events, outings, and programs to keep people active and with chances to see friends, learn something new, or enjoy movies or music, and the staff runs scheduled rides for shopping trips, medical appointments, or going out to things happening around town. Meal plans focus on healthy food, and there's always a chance to eat with others in shared dining spaces.
For folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, The Montclair has a special area with extra safety and staff who know how to help, and care plans get changed as needed so everyone gets the attention or support they need, whether that's simple help with daily tasks or more hands-on medical care in the nursing part of the place. Staff stick around to help, and they're always close by if anyone needs something, making it a bit easier for residents to stay as independent as possible. The community is managed in part by Dial Senior Living for some units, who have experience handling communities like this. The Montclair tries new programs and changes their lifestyle activities so living there can stay interesting and support residents' well-being, and even though it doesn't try to be fancy, it does have everything older folks might need if they don't want to live alone but still want some freedom and a full life with some privacy.
