Eden Village is a Continuum Care Retirement Community (CCRC). It is nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood of Glen Carbon and surrounded by 18 acres of beautiful trees, manicured lawns, walking trails and picnic areas, a description read on its website.

“We offer seniors 55 years of age and older a multitude of services including quality senior living in one of our spacious Garden Homes or Apartments,” the description said. “For seniors with special needs, we also offer a Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing unit, secured dementia care area, and inpatient/outpatient therapy services.

“What is nice with a CCRC is people can come here and live independently and live their rest of their life here because we have independent, assisted and skilled care retirement community,” Kassing-Meurer said.
