Assisted Living Communities in Carmi, IL

"My friend is at Brookstone Estates of Fairfield and is doing very well. I am just totally impressed with the caring atmosphere and the cleanliness. All of my friend's needs are taken care of right there. He doesn't have to leave that facility to live. He has a vehicle, and he chooses to go to Walmart and that type of thing, just because, but it's all inclusive. It's a good place. I understand why it's rated five-stars. My friend does the crafts, and they also have a couple of residents that have started a church service on Sunday, and he doesn't miss those. There is a library. They have a courtyard, which is very nice. That's why my friend chose a two-bedroom apartment, because his door opened out into this beautiful courtyard house, and that's what he sees when he's sitting in his living room instead of just a wall. I thought that was really nice. I have a couple of other church friends who are there that I routinely visit when I see my friend as well. I always brag to them how nice it is. People are friendly. The residents that are out in the main area visiting one another and always seem happy. The cafeteria is pleasant. I really think they go out of the way to try to make it a really good assisted living facility."

"I visited Solarbron Assisted Living. We liked the people, the staff, and the facilities, but we're just not there yet. We looked at the assisted living and the nursing home side, and we were impressed with both. The staff was very cordial, and they appeared to be very efficient. The facility is aged a little bit, but it's appealing. The living atmosphere was very good. The menu looked very good."

"We chose Charles Ford Retirement Communities of New Harmony for my mother. We chose it because of proximity to the family, and it's a good community. It's a beautiful facility, it's well maintained, well kept, but we were only able to get in for 2 days before they went on COVID lockdown. They're doing zoom bingo tomorrow, and they've done other activities, but it's difficult, they have a positive case, so everybody's quarantined to their rooms. The facility is super clean just because of COVID, but it was clean beforehand, they continue to have that."

"My aunt likes it very much. She's been there for over a year now. When she was home alone, she was in and out of hospital quite frequently. Now, she hasn't since she's been in the facility, so that has helped with that situation because she was living alone. "

"I think that all the people that work at West River Health Campus are wonderful. All the ones I've encountered are very kind and very helpful. They have a huge calendar of activities and mom has been playing bingo there. There's also a room where they can go and do puzzles or make arts and crafts stuff. There's lots of options. Mom's room is nice. It's completely furnished if you need it to be. It's got a twin bed, a TV cabinet, a little kitchenette with a microwave, a refrigerator (like a little mini dorm-size refrigerator), and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. There's lots of drawer space and closet space as well. We were able to move her bed in and then her recliner and there was plenty of room."
