Assisted Living Communities in Litchfield, IL

"The Courtyard Estates of Girard was very nice and clean. The people there were very nice. It was a very positive experience. The rooms were very nice and very comfortable. The dining area was very clean and looked very adequate for the facility. The staff member who gave the tour was very helpful. She explained everything very well and was very pleasant. They had a salon, an outdoor fishing pond, and reading facilities throughout the building."

"I am very pleased with Cedarhurst. My mom moved in after having hip replacement surgery. The staff has been wonderful. Mom loves doing the many activities they offer. She seems to stay busy every day. She is also getting three meals a day and she loves the food. I haven't seen my mom this happy in a long time. Thank you to the staff for making mom feel right at home."

"My mom moved to Eastland Retirement Community. I have asked her about the food and she says it's all good. The facility seems very clean. Compared to everything else we looked at, there are maybe 1 or 2 other places that we went to that seemed like they were a little more updated than what this is, but it's not old-looking. It's still modern-looking. Instead of going with the more expensive finishes, like laminates, they use carpet. So it's just a different approach. There's nothing wrong with it at all. The people have been nice. They do activities. My mom has mentioned that she's been involved in a few of them, had a good time, and enjoyed herself. The staff is very friendly, any questions I had, they answered. If there was anything that I thought needed to be taken care of, they addressed it and either got it taken care of or helped us out. They've done what they need to get things right. She eats three meals a day and she gets what she needs. So at this point, the value is really good."

"Villas of Holly Brook and Reflections is the one I like the best. I like the parking place in front and a separate outside door. I like the outside door. I would want to be on the outside so I could go in and out without having to go into the actual place if I wanted to. They have pool tables, and they have coffee machines and other things there for you to use. They have tables for people that want to do things together like play cards and do all that kind of stuff. It's a good location. It's right off Route 111, so it's not hard for people to find. They provide your food and all that stuff. It's got a menu like most places. You have the main course going on and then they have side dishes that you could order if you don't like the main course. The person that showed me around was very nice. She took me all around and showed me everything. It has a beauty shop and a theater. They have movies that they show. Of course, the movies are your regular DVDs and it is not like going through the show itself, but they are nice. The staff took me into different rooms. The only thing we didn't look at was a two-bedroom, but they were all taken. We looked at singles and we looked at the studios. The studio was too small for me. It's very clean. You walk in the front door, there is a desk there for people to help you. Straight ahead is a television with a kind of like a gathering area. Behind that is where the pool table is, and behind that is where you eat. So, it's all right there together, and then the rooms are going around the side. The whole thing makes a circle, so if you start walking on one side, you make a whole circle around."

"Cedarhurst of Highland was where my mom was going to go because they have a memory unit there, and an assisted living. You'd have to walk through the assisted living to get to the memory care. It was really nice and clean. It looked like they had a lot of activities. When I was touring it, everything looked nice, but the real kicker was they didn't have skilled nursing for that memory care. They had one person and that's kind of frustrating because they didn't really tell me that. I had to come to my own conclusion and say there's nobody there that can help my mom. You had to supply your own bed in the memory unit. I had to find and rent up a hospital bed and anything else that she needed, and I was not happy about that. The staff during the tour was very nice and very helpful. They had church services on Sunday and different events for different holidays that came up. They had an activity room, a dining hall, a creative section, and they had a long hallway that circles, so they could walk that circle, and they had chairs to sit down. They had a courtyard, too, that was surrounded by the building, so that people could go out and sit in there."
