Avonlea Gladstone sits at 2801 NE 60th St in Gladstone, Missouri, and is a senior residential care facility that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. The community holds 100 licensed beds and focuses on helping seniors keep their independence through social engagement and personal support, so people have a place to call home where they're looked after but also encouraged to stay active. They offer studio and one-bedroom apartments with private baths, as well as some two-bedroom layouts, and each apartment has emergency systems, cable, private phone lines, and room for people's own furniture, with apartment-sized refrigerators and microwaves. There's the "all seasons sunroom," a beautifully landscaped courtyard, an ice cream parlor, and a billiards room, plus plenty of communal spaces with a piano, fireplace, and aquarium that feel like home instead of an institution, and gardens and outdoor patios invite residents to enjoy fresh air.
The facility provides three home-cooked meals every day, with snacks, and all meals are handled by a culinary chef. Basic needs like linen service, weekly laundry, and housekeeping get taken care of for everyone. They keep residents busy with arts and crafts, game nights, Nintendo Wii bowling, resident musical groups, story time, puzzles, and scheduled events, and exercise is part of daily life with a gym and fitness area. Staff help with needs such as medication management, bathing, dressing, incontinence care, and moving around, and there's discreet support for daily activities if needed. Home health, skilled nursing, physical and occupational therapy, and medication monitoring are also available on-site, and pharmacy services are always at hand. Therapists and healthcare professionals visit on a schedule, and all care is adjusted to what each person needs, whether for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or just getting help with daily activities.
Residents have access to homey amenities like chapel services, the snack shop, walking paths in the gardens, an arts and crafts area, and a game room. There's WiFi throughout, cable in every room, and utilities are included. Avonlea Gladstone allows small pets, so people don't have to leave their companions behind, and outdoor parking spaces are provided for residents and guests. Staff help arrange transportation for doctor's appointments and shopping trips, so errands are easier. There's a beauty shop for personal care, tied with concierge and case management services that help with whatever else a resident might need.
The all-inclusive pricing means residents and families know what to expect without many separate fees adding up. The staff are licensed and certified, always on duty day and night, keeping everyone safe and cared for. Avonlea Gladstone provides both independent and assisted living, along with memory and dementia care, and has services for moving between different levels of support as needs change, with long-term care available in a way that aims to help people keep their dignity and personal choices while giving peace of mind to families. The community is part of United Senior Properties, and although it doesn't accept Medicare unless it's certified by CMS, it takes checks. Accommodations are designed to be comfortable and practical, allowing residents to enjoy privacy, freedom, and as active a retirement as they're able to have.
