Turners Rock

My mother spent 4 years in Independent Living. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot for her. Everyone is treated like family, residents, staff, family of residents. There are more activities (onsite and offsite) than one person can do every day with a lot of variety. There are many staff members who have been there the whole time mom was. They learn the residents names quickly and residents receive very personalized service. I highly recommend Turners Rock for Independent, Assisted Living and Memory Care.

I’ve been visiting several different facilities with my mother in Springfield, and Turner’s Rock is by far the best. If felt “alive” in there, all the residents seemed happy and independent. What more do we wish for our parents but to be independent and happy! Great staff, beautiful location and facility.

Turners Rock is a truly outstanding senior living community! The building is modern—only about five years old—and offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Unlike many other senior communities, Turners Rock is bright, contemporary, and impeccably clean. The floor plans are especially impressive, with spacious layouts and large bedrooms—something you rarely find in other senior living options around Springfield. But what truly sets Turners Rock apart is the warm, welcoming community and the exceptional staff. Brad, the director, is friendly, responsive, and genuinely devoted to the residents. The activity director, Will, is absolutely PHENOMENAL—charming, personable, and hilarious! He constantly goes above and beyond to keep residents engaged and entertained. One creative example: he prints “funny money” with residents’ photos that they earn at activities and spend at a monthly auction. The Turners Rock driver, Lezlie, is incredible—she takes my mom to doctor’s appointments and has even taken her shopping at the mall. She always goes the extra mile (pun intended!). My mom loves the variety of activities , events, and outings that Will plans. There are about six activities each day—like exercise classes, trivia, book club, Bible study, bingo, Wheel of Fortune, bocce ball, movies, and more. Residents can also take the shuttle bus for picnics, plays, movies, and restaurant outings. The on-site restaurant is contemporary and open for dining between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. (I believe). The servers know the residents by name and even remember many of their preferences. The menu offers plenty of options along with daily specials. Sometimes the chef even names dishes after residents, which is such a thoughtful touch. The desserts are always amazing, and family members often visit during meal times—just $7 for breakfast and $10 for lunch or dinner. My parents moved into the independent living section in October 2023. My dad later transitioned to the Memory Care Unit for a few months before he passed away. It was a huge relief for my mom to know he was safe and well cared for during that time. And he was just steps away, so my mom could easily visit him each day. I live in California and have stayed at Turners Rock seven times since my parents moved in. Knowing my mom is surrounded by friends and supported by such a compassionate, capable team brings me tremendous peace of mind. I’m so grateful to everyone at Turners Rock. 10/10 recommend!

I had toured before by myself and wanted to bring my husband for an additional tour. We were shown all the amenities and loved them. My son commented on how friendly all the staff were and was very impressed. We were treated to lunch while we were there and it was very good. We were very surprised with the menu and all the offerings. Lora S was very helpful and did a great job explaining the community including all the care levels.
