Your Questions, Answered

What care options are available at The Gardens at Springfield?
We are the area’s largest community offering a full continuum of care, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care.
How does Independent Living differ from Assisted Living?

Independent Living is for active seniors who want a maintenance-free lifestyle. Assisted Living adds 24-hour support with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication management.

What is the benefit of a non-profit senior community?

Being not-for-profit allows us to focus entirely on our mission. We have strong ties to the local medical community and reinvest in our staff to ensure high-quality, consistent care.
