Assisted Living Communities in Godfrey, IL

"My brother has moved into Autumn View Gardens - St. Louis. It is a very well-kept facility. The staff is very pleasant. He got to know them, and they got to know him right away. He seems engaged with the other residents and he has improved almost 100% since he's been there. He is very pleased. They have activities every single day. They have a choir. They do the caroling for the residents there. They have music several times a week where someone will come in and play music for the residents. They have lots of little activities like balloon toss, dart throwing, and those kinds of little games that keep them engaged. They have dominoes, board games, and bingo almost every day. They have something called Gaelic Chronicles, which is a little trivia that goes back into maybe even the last century with some of the facts just to remind the residents of and maybe they can relate to because of their age group. They have three meals a day in the dining room. They have offerings if the resident doesn't like what is on the menu for that day. Of course, they have trained staff providing medications. They offer physical therapy for people who require it. Overall, it has been a good experience. My brother likes the food, too. The facility is very nice. And his room is recently renovated."

"The Lake St. Charles was very nice, very clean, upscale, and the administrator seemed very personally invested. It was over our budget. The staff seemed friendly and sincere. The rooms were very nice, small, and adequate. The people living there looked happy, and that was good."

"My mother will do respite care here for the fourth time. I pretty much liked everything about it. The atmosphere as soon as I walked in the door, I just knew it felt homey. I liked the activities that they did and the interaction. She went on the tour with me and they made her feel welcome. I fell in love with the staff. While I was touring, she sat with some of the other residents and she was comfortable there. She ate all her food there. The place was very clean and it smelled clean. It was just like walking in The Hilton."

"In the last 12 months Town & Country Senior Living, has had: 2 Executive Directors, 4 Director of Wellness, High turnover of staff, Unable to get direct email for staff (had to go through main line), Poor communication between residents, staff, family and in house doctor, less than a year it has changed ownership again."

"I visited St. Louis Hills Assisted Living and Memory Care. We're pending their assessment of our mom's condition. If that goes well, we will be going there. We chose it because of the fact that they are more engaged with the people there, giving extra care to activities. The rooms were nice, and just the overall staff. At the first level, there's a nice reception area and dining area. They have a movie theater and a community room if families want to come and be with their loved ones. They have an exercise room. They have a beauty parlor, and they have events where they go out."

"I like Harvester Residential Care, and I was really impressed with it. They showed me a three-bedroom ranch home, and I liked it. I could live there. The people working there were very good. I really enjoyed them. The common areas looked really nice."

"I cannot express the love and care my mom and dad got from everyone at Brooking Park. The nursing staff knew their needs and took care of them always at the right time. The food has a diverse blend of all group needs, and spiced right. We had many friends for lunch or dinner, and everyone was very pleased. The entertainment was wonderful, the outings were always fun. They kept everyone very busy if they wanted to join in. I was very lucky that my parents were cared for to this high level before they passed. Please for all of you reading this, just go and see what I experienced to get the best care for your loved one. "

"We looked at Friendship Village Chesterfield, it was wonderful, but just too expensive for us right now. The staff that we met were very nice, they're very good. They had lots to offer the residents. They had a swimming pool, they had a theater, an events room, an exercise room, a fitness center, and an arts center. We only saw a 1-bedroom at the time because they didn't have a 2-bedroom available, and there was a two-year wait for a 2-bedroom. So I thought that was kind of ridiculous. The 2-bedroom was a little tight, it's a bit on the small side. Their landscaping was very nice."

"My wife doesn't see very well and The Mary Culver Home is designed only for visually impaired women, and they've been in business for 150 years, so I like it. It's a small home. It only got 27 private rooms, so she gets a lot of one-on-one attention and they're very good. They are very attentive towards her and I would highly recommend anybody if their spouse is visually impaired, because that's the one requirement to get in. I like the fact that the patient to staff ratio was like 7 to 1 and the food's good. My wife seems to enjoy the food and they do activities with them all the time. So, they try to get them involved in various activities and I'm pleased. The rooms are small, but they're all private, and they have a private bathroom in them. It's plenty and big enough to get around. I think the home was built in 1966, I believe, so it is an older home, but it's well-maintained. They have a dining area and they kind of wait on them like it's a restaurant. They'll come up there and take their order, and whatever they want, they'll cook it for them. They have exercise classes. They do tours of different countries and stuff like that. They listen to those kinds of tapes and then discuss them. The other day when I was there, they were doing Martin Luther King's history and life. So, they do something like that all the time for them."

"I toured The Meadowlands. It's bigger than the other facility. I liked how cost effective it was, and it seemed like they had a lot of activities for their memory care patients. They were very friendly. They had an area outside. They had a little path that the residents could walk on, but it was also gated so that they couldn't get out. The staff was very kind and forthcoming with information, and very informative. The facility seemed clean to me."

"The Village at Morse Farm was very nice and I was very impressed with it. It's very reasonable, but it's in the wrong direction from where we need to be. It's further east, and we need to be north or west. It was very clean, pleasant, and all modern, and the staff was very helpful. It was an excellent facility."

"I thought Bradford Place was very clean. There were no odors. The staff seemed very professional and very caring. That's basically what I liked about it. It's a little dated and that's something I would say would be the negative, but the décor there is beautiful. They haven't really done any work for me yet, but just based on their professionalism and their friendliness, everybody was courteous. Everything was nice, clean, and orderly."

"Revela at O'Fallon looked nice. It's far better than the other place. It is relatively new. The dining room has a super high ceiling. They have a wing of apartments that are two stories, and you can overlook the dining room from the top part of the apartment wing for assisted living. It feels roomy, even though it's not a very big room. On the memory care side, they have a large living dining space. The staff members have been very helpful, but it's unfortunate because I don't think it's going to be the place we choose. The food was excellent. It was great. No pets in memory care though. There was a piano in the open area in the memory care and somebody was playing while I was there. A resident talked to us and she said she loved it there. I thought it was a great place to be. The people that were there were very pleased with it."

"Everything at The Boulevard of St Peters was very well done. It was relatively new. It's just been there for a year. So, everything was nice. We had already put a deposit there for Mom, but we didn't get to use it. The lady was very professional."
