The community keeps things simple for residents, with 24-hour maintenance, on-site management, elevator access, and package services.

Residents can play games, relax by the fireplace, or enjoy walking outside.
The apartments are in the Blue Springs R-IV School District and sit in a quiet part of town, but there's still a spirit of community inside, which comes from friendly staff who are fully trained and ready to help. The team includes local senior living advisors who give recommendations for families, and there's a free consumer service to help people find the right living arrangement.
