Kearney Villa sits in Springfield, Missouri, and the place runs under the Kearney Villa Housing Corporation, which is a local nonprofit looking out for folks with low incomes, seniors, and families in need of safe, affordable housing, and the whole thing stays regulated by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. The community is set up through Section 202 of the National Housing Act and provides 31 units, offering housing to elderly individuals and very low-income families, with rent based on income, usually about 30% of what someone makes each month, and keeps strict income limits for those wanting to move in. The apartments come in different types, like studios, one-bedroom, semi-private, and two-bedroom units, all with mini blinds for privacy and fully equipped kitchens, and the facility has elevators for those who need extra help getting around, fire alarms, smoke detectors, at least one accessible unit, and keeps a non-smoking environment inside. There's a community laundry room with heavy-duty washers and dryers, a community library, and a big gathering room where seniors can enjoy TV, reading, or social events, and you'll find indoor areas intended for chatting or group activities, which keeps things lively and sociable.
Meals are served on-site, paying attention to quality and nutrition, and staff are available 24 hours a day, prepared to assist during emergencies or to help residents who might need help moving from bed to wheelchair, managing diabetes, or dealing with incontinence. Kearney Villa provides a mix of care types, serving residents with high, medium, or low care needs, and supports things like assisted living, independent living, memory care, hospice care, long-term skilled nursing, adult day services, non-medical home care, Medicare-certified home health care, and respite stays-with each service marked by distinct Kearney Villa terminology and a separate community and respite fee structure, plus there's a fee if two people share a room. Seniors can join activity programs designed to engage them socially and physically, from on-site devotional gatherings to social, educational, and entertaining activities, all aimed at helping people make friends and keep their minds and bodies active. Kearney Villa offers extra amenities like on-site mail delivery, and the property keeps everything comfortable, convenient, and easy to navigate, plus active adult living options for those who want to stay more independent but with support nearby if needed.
The community is close to hospitals, doctors, banks, entertainment, and only a quarter mile from a Walmart Supercenter, with a city bus stop half a block away, and service from OATS and the City Access Bus to help with transportation needs. The staff, known for being helpful and friendly, are always ready to support residents and keep a positive, home-like feeling throughout the building. Kearney Villa has earned awards and built a good name in Springfield, with a mission that includes both giving back to the wider community through its philanthropy and helping each resident build their own legacy through programs and ongoing support.
