If I could give negative stars I would. While my Dad was fine there when he was able to change his…read moreown clothes, shower, and walk, as soon as he couldn't, he received zero help whatsoever. Staff never notified me that he suddenly became delirious until he fell and broke his hip, wearing DAYS old dirty clothes. This was caused by a simple UTI which never crossed their mind to check for. Its a common thing known to anyone in the medical field. One thing lead to another and he was sent back to the facility for hospice. Quail Creek only allows hospice companies of THEIR choice. The hospice is only allowed to take readings TWICE a day. They are not allowed to stay, not allowed to give pain medication, not allowed to give physical care, cleaning etc. They are allowed to take him to the funeral home though. Others issues and Quail Creeks response: 1. Patient falling out of the bed. Response: mats on the floor. 2. Not able to give pain meds once an hour. Response: increase dose and decrease when they see him. 3. Not cleaning Patient or checking he is still in bed or hasn't pulled out catheter. Response: changed the topic. 4. Nurse not remembering what the last med was that was given. Response: changed the topic. 5. Never gave Patient wet sponge to moisten lips and mouth. Response: changed the topic. 6. Nurse to busy watching TV to do duties. Response: changed the topic. If you are in the facility for some short term rehab, its prob fine. But if your loved life might experience end of life, be advised they may experience pain and suffering through neglect. And yes, we reported them to the STATE.

Review of The Gardens Memory Care…read more Parent with a diagnosis of Dementia of Alzheimer's type was there just under 6 months when they requested we find another facility. This was due to increased falls and cognitive decline resulting in mobility issues. We were informed the facility was not staffed to provide walking assistance or wheelchair transfers. We were advised to apply to skilled nursing facilities, but several rejected our request since there are no health issues other than dementia that require skilled care. Administration promised to help find a new facility. However, it became apparent that their "help" was only sending out more referrals to other skilled nursing facilities with no regard to ratings or location. During this process, parent was suddenly moved to a different room with no prior notice. We expressed concerns that this was not in the best interest since we would be relocating to another facility soon. Our concerns were dismissed and the move occurred in less than an hour! This was a direct violation of patient rights of having a written notice before changing rooms or roommates. On the positive side, the CMTs and aides were extremely kind and attentive. These providers were expected to care for residents' needs, dispense medicines, unlock door for visitors, take phone calls, plate food that was sent from the Assisted Living side, serve meals, and clean up. Often there were only 2 people on the floor to do all of these tasks. Needless to say, there were times meals were late due to lack of help! Bottom line: This is Level 1 Memory Care, so as disease advances, they are not equipped to handle the decline. Administration talks a good talk, but it pretty much ends there. While we recognize this is a business, we believe better communication and understanding toward patient families are necessary. The staff members who care for residents are compassionate and positive. They bond with residents, and it is apparent they truly care about them. Staff deserves a 5-star rating, but the overall facility rating is lower due to administrative decisions.

Turners Rock is a truly outstanding senior living community! The building is modern--only about…read morefive years old--and offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Unlike many other senior communities, Turners Rock is bright, contemporary, and impeccably clean. The floor plans are especially impressive, with spacious layouts and large bedrooms--something you rarely find in other senior living options around Springfield. But what truly sets Turners Rock apart is the warm, welcoming community and the exceptional staff. Brad, the director, is friendly, responsive, and genuinely devoted to the residents. The activity director, Will, is absolutely PHENOMENAL--charming, personable, and hilarious! He constantly goes above and beyond to keep residents engaged and entertained. One creative example: he prints "funny money" with residents' photos that they earn at activities and spend at a monthly auction. The Turners Rock driver, Lezlie, is incredible--she takes my mom to doctor's appointments and has even taken her shopping at the mall. She always goes the extra mile (pun intended!). My mom loves the variety of activities , events, and outings that Will plans. There are about six activities each day--like exercise classes, trivia, book club, Bible study, bingo, Wheel of Fortune, bocce ball, movies, and more. Residents can also take the shuttle bus for picnics, plays, movies, and restaurant outings. The on-site restaurant is contemporary and open for dining between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. (I believe). The servers know the residents by name and even remember many of their preferences. The menu offers plenty of options along with daily specials. Sometimes the chef even names dishes after residents, which is such a thoughtful touch. The desserts are always amazing, and family members often visit during meal times--just $7 for breakfast and $10 for lunch or dinner. My parents moved into the independent living section in October 2023. My dad later transitioned to the Memory Care Unit for a few months before he passed away. It was a huge relief for my mom to know he was safe and well cared for during that time. And he was just steps away, so my mom could easily visit him each day. I live in California and have stayed at Turners Rock seven times since my parents moved in. Knowing my mom is surrounded by friends and supported by such a compassionate, capable team brings me tremendous peace of mind. I'm so grateful to everyone at Turners Rock. 10/10 recommend!

I went in to apply for a nursing position, and was greeted by several people, who were all VERY…read moreFRIENDLY and quite helpful. The residents were very happy, no negativity voiced or heard. The DON was INCREDIBLY nice. She didn't make me feel as if I were being interrogated! It was a great interview. She told me what was expected, I expressed mine as well. The flow of the building was smooth. Everyone looked and sounded very happy. I was impressed by the staff, they all helped pass trays, Administrator, DON, ADON, they all helped. They answered call lights. It was truly nice to see a place work as a team and work well together, and I was only there for about 4 hours and witnessed thus myself. If you're looking for a place for a loved one, I recommend Springfield Villa. The staff appear to care, the residents look happy and clean! The activity dept is the best I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot! The therapy dept is huge and have some fantastic PT ppl there. Didn't room area is huge, plenty of room for everyone and family as well. I look very forward to my experience and what kind of experience I can bring with me!

She came in with no bruises from a hospital stay from a stroke and left with bruises from head to toe (witnessed and documented with the State of Missouri advocate). I went to visit her and found her in a dark room on the floor and lots of staff at the desk talking. She was found AT EVERY VISIT to not have a simple glass of water in her room, no snacks, no t.v. I was told they don't have enough glasses for everyone to have their own and keep them in their room. Had to end up having a family member stay the night for her safety. These residents, in my opinion, are not being taken care of. What I saw would make your mouth drop to the floor! The temp is so high that the pee smell overwhelms you! So nasty! Would never recommend this place and I feel sorry for anyone to has to put their loved one here!
