Turners Rock, found at 3911 East Sunshine in Springfield, Missouri, sits among other related communities like Mission Ridge and Merrill Gardens, and the place's got a name all its own. The buildings look stately and strong, with apartments in studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom layouts, so there's a bit of room for everyone, and pets can join their owners out on the screened-in porch, where it's possible to look at the trees or catch some fresh air. People can wander the outside spaces, or, for those who want to keep social, community events pop up so neighbors can gather, there's a bar for a drink, a fire pit to sit beside when there's a chill, and even a resort-style pool for an easy swim on a warm day.
Turners Rock holds a mission to make the last stage of life better for both residents and their families by creating a supportive, compassionate environment, and works with local hospices to see that medical needs get met when the time calls for it. Folks focus care on the person, keeping it personal and trying to make things as home-like as possible, especially for those who can't stay in their own home any longer and need nonmedical comfort while facing serious illness. The campus supports independent living for those wanting activity on their own, assisted living for residents needing help with daily activities, and specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, all the way up to skilled nursing for those who need higher levels of care, so loved ones don't have to move far if their needs change. Turners Rock's continuing care retirement model means many care types are close by-these include independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and other care choices-so transitioning between levels of care gets handled in one place, people stay rooted, and families can keep visits easy. Staff aim to provide quality care, respect, and kindness, focusing on day-to-day comfort and dignity.
