About The Fremont Senior Living

The Fremont Senior Living is an assisted living and independent living community in Springfield, Missouri. The facility offers both apartments and villas, along with a Memory Care Cottage, serving residents who need varying levels of support.

Families consistently praise individual staff members, maintenance, housekeeping, nursing, and activities directors, for going above and beyond their roles. The activities program receives particular mention for variety and effort. Several families noted the intimate, family-like atmosphere that comes from the community's smaller size, and appreciation for how staff treat residents with respect during difficult times. One family wrote that it "could be described an all inclusive resort for seniors." However, multiple reviewers across different years have raised concerns about food service inconsistencies, including insufficient staffing during meal service and items running out despite being on the menu.

A recurring theme in reviews is staff shortages, with some families noting caregivers work extra hours to compensate while others describe the facility as understaffed and poorly managed. One reviewer felt the community has declined from its earlier years and expressed frustration with corporate management's responsiveness to resident concerns. These operational challenges exist alongside strong positive experiences from families who have been residents for years.

The Fremont Senior Living holds a 4.4 out of 5 star rating based on 89 Google reviews.

After my husband had some health changes, my family and I toured The Fremont and absolutely loved the community. Billy greeted us and made us feel very welcome. The staff introduced themselves to us as we passed them on our tour and we never felt out of place. The community was clean, the staff were kind and the atmosphere was inviting. Thank you for your kindness. It warms our hearts that good places like this still exist for our seniors.

We moved our Mother to the Fremont Assisted Living in June 2026. This place is absolutely wonderful and the staff are top notch! Everyone has been very professional, friendly, kind and eager to help when needed! It is evident staff genuinely care about their residents. All staff (from the front desk, dining room, maintenence to Nursing) call residents by their first name. The food is also excellent and so are all of the dining room staff. A special thanks to Anthony & Sierra for giving us the initial tour and answering all of our questions, and to Cathy & Anita for always greeting our family with a warm smile when we walk through the door. Lastly, a huge thank you to Anthony Argenta, Wellness Director, for being on top of absolutely everything and the kindness and compassion he exhibits during each and every interaction with our family. Most importantly, our Mom loves being at the Fremont and has made many friends in the short time she's been there!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this assisted living facility. The moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the compassion, professionalism, and genuine commitment to the residents’ well-being.<br><br>What truly sets this community apart is the incredible Director of Nursing, Anthony Argenta. Anthony is absolutely amazing and leads with both heart and expertise. He takes the time to get to know each resident, listens to families with genuine care, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everyone receives the highest level of care possible. His leadership creates an environment where residents are treated like family, not just patients.<br><br>The staff is attentive, caring, and always willing to help. I wholeheartedly recommend the Fremont Assisted Living Facility to anyone looking for a place where compassion, excellence, and genuine care come together. A huge shout out to Anthony for the incredible difference he makes every day!
