Everything has been great. She would be a lot happier if she could order her own medicine as the way it's done there her medicines cost her triple . Based on the experience we have had so far, we have been recommending this community to other families
Spring River Christian Village in Joplin, MO

The staff really provided my nephew and his wife the best possible support during my sister's passing. I can't say enough positive things about the staff's compassion and willingness to go beyond expectations.
I hope that they are still in operation when and if I need a place.
