During Springfield City Council’s Oct. 17 meeting, council members heard first reading on a bill to allow the Fremont to build an onsite assisted living facility.

The Fremont is an independent living community for people age 55 and older, located at 1520 E. Bates St. It features villa-style apartments and a three-story apartment building.

The Fremont is seeking an amendment to its Planned Development to add a two-story, 50-unit building to serve as an assisted living facility.

He said The Fremont is a retirement community with several married couples residing there, and that there have been three occasions since he became the director in March, when one spouse suffered medical problems and had to go to a rehab facility, away from his or her spouse.

“When you withdraw one from that unit it really causes a lot of problems,” Sellars said. This would just make their aging in place so much better.”

There was no other public comment and council will vote on the request during its Oct. 31 meeting.

Based out of St. Charles County, Arrow continues its commitment to ensuring continued growth of local business, providing additional jobs and revenue to St. Charles County, even as its business expands across the United States.

As of this release, Arrow Senior Living Management oversees operations in six states, including Missouri and Illinois.

Belleville, the county seat of St. Clair County, IL, was recently named one
of 10 All-America Cities as recognized by the National Civic League. Founded in
1814, the city is one of the largest in the region and boasts a rich cultural
history. Of the 44,478 residents of Belleville, 17 percent are over 65 years old.
With Arrow’s strong record in management and sales, the community is positioned
to meet full occupancy based on the demographics.

The community, formerly Grand Court Belleville, has been renamed The Atrium
of Belleville as part of a full operational renovation including new programs,
services and new training for all staff. The site will undergo extensive
renovations through Spring 2012.

Arrow’s trainers have been on-site working on all aspects of operations
including wellness, culinary, resident services, physical plant management,
administration and sales and marketing.

Formerly Montecito Assisted Living, the community has been renamed Hollybrook Senior Living. Upon acquisition of the property, owners The Decurion Corp. conducted an extensive search for a management group that would pursue financial growth while providing exceptional care to residents. With Arrow’s strong record in management and sales, and their innovative approach to “resident-centered care,” Arrow assumed operations on January 28, 2011.

Arrow’s Senior Regional Director, Philip Smith, daily operations to lead the implementation of the company’s creative and affordable approach to senior living.

“I’ve been impressed with the staff’s dedication to providing exceptional care on not only on a physical level, but emotional and social ones as well,” Smith said. Mr. Smith’s confidence led him to move his aunt into the community.

Santa Ana, CA, is the second most populous city in Orange County, CA, with a population of 324,528. The community is located near the I-5 and is just blocks away from the Bowers Museum and minutes away from extensive retail opportunities on Main Street.

The city of Deming is a service hub for many smaller surrounding communities. Although the population of the town is just over 16,000 residents, over twenty percent of the population is over 65 years old, statistically higher than the national average. With strong management and sales, the subject community is positioned to fill-up based on the demographics.

The community, formerly Willow Manor Assisted Living, has been renamed as Arroyo Vista Senior Living Community as part of a full operational renovation including new programs, services and new training for all staff.

Arrow’s trainers have been onsite working on all aspects of operations including wellness, culinary, resident services, physical plant management, administration and sales and marketing.

Stephanie Harris, CEO of Arrow Senior Living says The Fremont is Springfield’s best-kept secret in retirement living. “It’s a jewel nestled in a residential setting.”

Arrow has placed a great emphasis on building out the resident services and dining options as true differentiators.

As part of a new effort to build out innovative programs, Megan Tidwell has been promoted to Executive Director of the community. Tidwell previously served as Assistant Manager and has been with the property since construction. She brings years of experience in wellness and health administration.

Additional villa units will be built in the near future due to increased demand!

Stephanie earned her Juris Doctorate and Health Law Certificate from Saint Louis University School of Law.  Prior to forming Turnaround Solutions, Stephanie spent several years in Missouri politics and worked on Capitol Hill as a policy advisor.

In addition, Stephanie is a strong advocate for veteran benefit awareness and other types of benefits for seniors to fund their long-term care needs, and is involved in the Alzheimer’s Association, having served on the Young Ambassador’s Committee and other major fundraising efforts.

Stephanie has been a long-time member of the Missouri Assisted Living Association, where she has been a frequent presenter and active in the 2007 legislative changes to assisted living regulations.

Currently, Stephanie’s company manages communities in three different states in addition to its consulting contracts.
