Garden Place Columbia is located 12 miles from St. Louis just minutes from downtown Columbia. Columbia has a rich history, originally incorporated in 1859, and has grown and prospered due to the strong work ethics of its people. Older adults are important to Columbia's quality of life. The City of Columbia supports a variety of programs that provide services to older citizens.
These days, many people are making their own choices about living in a supportive community. They are smart and wise about a lot of things including planning for their own future. As savvy realists, they recognize that as we age, it is important to be in a supportive community with other like-minded people.
Many older adults decide to join us at Garden Place Columbia because they want to enjoy the benefits of being connected to others in a place where there is a common desire to grow and learn and make a difference. You’ll enjoy the opportunities of a social environment while staying independent of care as long as you like or are able. When you need some assistance, you have a support system and team at the ready that knows you, your preferences, and your personality—and you know them!
At Garden Place Columbia be prepared to open your heart, expand your mind, liberate your soul and deepen your life's journey-- all in a supportive community.
