Springmoor at a Glance
What Does Springmoor Offer?
Springmoor is a continuing care community, with assisted living, memory care, and nursing on campus. Its contract is modified rather than full life care: each resident gets up to 30 health center days a year without room and board charges, and pays 30 to 60 percent of the daily rate after that. Unused days can build up to 90.
Independent living
342 apartments plus villas and single family homes, all with full kitchens and dishwashers. Villas and homes add a washer and dryer, a garage, and a patio, deck, or porch.
Stewart Health Center
The licensed health center has 18 assisted living beds, a secure memory care neighborhood with its own courtyard, and skilled nursing beds.
Health coverage help
Springmoor helps residents manage insurance claims, and residents must carry Medicare Parts A and B with a supplement.

How Does Springmoor's Pricing Work?
Springmoor charges an entrance fee plus a monthly fee. You choose a Life Occupancy plan, whose refund declines to zero over about two years, or a 50 or 100 percent Life Equity plan with a higher entrance fee. Springmoor doesn't publish its rates. You can read its latest disclosure statement filed with the state. Ask me for current pricing and I will walk you through the plans.
How Is Springmoor's Health Center Rated?
Springmoor's health center is licensed by the state but is not on Medicare Care Compare, so it has no Medicare star rating. Its October 2025 annual inspection found no deficiencies. You can see the record on the state nursing home record for Stewart Health Center.
Springmoor files a disclosure statement with the state each year. Its latest audit was clean, and independent living is about 98 percent full.
