EverTrue Concordia Village

EverTrue Concordia Village sits within a campus in Springfield, Illinois, where older adults can find nearly every level of support they might need as they age, starting with independent living for those who want their own apartment but less upkeep and moving through assisted living that gives help with things like bathing, meals, and medication when daily chores become harder, and then onto memory care that provides support and structure for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, complete with special activities and round-the-clock staff, and then on to skilled nursing care, where residents get daily help from nurses, wound care, and other medical support for both short stints and longer stays. The community also offers board and care homes, which means smaller, homelike spaces where a limited number of residents can get more personal attention each day, and there are HUD and LIHTC apartments onsite for those living on limited, fixed incomes, with these apartments located in the wider metropolitan St. Louis area. EverTrue Concordia Village believes living should be active and meaningful, so there are plenty of social groups, events, and activities-things like entertainment, knowledge-sharing, spiritual programs, pet therapy, and even beautification or landscaping to help people get involved-plus dining help, transportation, and support with things as small as using a wheelchair or as simple as library visits. EverTrue Concordia Village is faith-centered, run by a nonprofit that traces its work back 165 years, with a mission to help seniors live as fully as possible, wherever they call home, and they're also part of LeadingAge Illinois, which gives staff more training and connects the community with up-to-date resources-like downloadable guides and professional meetings-so both residents and staff can stay informed. All buildings are smoke-free, and the community offers a warm, welcoming place where seniors can keep their independence while knowing more help is always nearby if they need it, whether it's home health care, hospice, or just a little bit of encouragement to join something new, and the REACH Short Stay Rehab program offers support for those who want to recover before heading home. The facility is open to people needing a lot of different services and has a community spirit that seems to include everyone, whether they're interested in activities, need care, or just want a sense of belonging as they grow older.
