The Montvale Senior Living sits in a quiet suburb of Springfield, offering a range of living options for seniors, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement services all on one campus. The place has apartments that come as studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom units, with some villas offering one or two baths, and the layouts range from 377 to over 600 square feet, so there's a little something for folks who might want either a compact space or a bit more room. There's a focus on comfort and safety, and the staff stay available around the clock, providing help with things like bathing, dressing, managing medicines, and any questions residents might have any time of the day.
The Montvale Senior Living welcomes pets, so cats and dogs can stay with residents, and there's walking and garden areas for taking pets or just enjoying the outdoors, which has park benches, flowers, and a nice courtyard. Folks can fill their days with activities like arts and crafts, music programs, Wii bowling, outings, tabletop games, bingo, bean bag baseball, picnics in the park, and educational programs, and there's even a billiards lounge, a library, a fitness room, a beauty and barber shop, and a chapel, and each week's calendar has things for both quiet hobbies and big group events. Meals are served three times a day, made by professional chefs, and the Lincoln's Table Restaurant stays open from morning to evening, serving options for different dietary needs including vegetarian and low salt, and there's a private dining room for special gatherings.
The apartments are designed for easy movement and simple access to whatever a resident might need, whether there's a need for wheelchair help or just help carrying groceries, and the staff speak English, Spanish, German, and American Sign Language, making it easier for folks from different backgrounds to feel at home. Housekeeping staff keep apartments clean and do laundry, including linens and towels, and there's WiFi in common spaces, a computer room, cable TV, kitchenettes, and full kitchens depending on the floor plan chosen, plus locked mailboxes and an elevator for getting around.
The Montvale Senior Living balances independence and support, offering options for those who want hassle-free living, help with chores, or more advanced care as needs change, and there's companion care, home care, hospice, and respite services, too. Residents are encouraged to make their apartments their own, bringing in their favorite furniture and decorations, and the community keeps a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where staff care for residents like family. Transportation services, guest parking, and general rides to shopping or events are available, and the facility helps people stay active and social both on-site and with quick access to Springfield's shops, health services, and local culture like museums and theaters. The Montvale Senior Living has won the Best of Senior Living Awards in recent years thanks to positive reviews from residents and their families about care, kindness, and support across its services, and the property is managed by Holiday Retirement, which has a long track record in senior living.
