My mother-in-law is in Heritage Woods of Manteno. We chose them because of location and the ratings. She’s in a studio right now, but we’re on a list for a one-bedroom. It has her bed, her personal belongings, a little kitchenette, and a big bathroom. The staff is very helpful and very concerned, and they communicate well. The dining room looks nice, but because of COVID, they weren’t really bringing them down there. But she said the food was good. With COVID, they don’t have many activities. They’re just starting to open up, so she hasn’t really done any activities yet, but they have arts and crafts, which she likes, and she looks forward to doing that. (read less)

We chose Riverside for my mother because it is the only place that was built and designed by a hospital, so they have the full continuum of care. They have a very different approach to their care. For one, the social worker is right on the premises; she is in the memory care unit. They have an internist, a neurologist, and an optometrist that comes in once a week, and they will soon have dental. As your loved one declines, they also have a nursing home. So if she needs to, she can be moved to the skilled nursing. If she becomes aggressive, they also have a senior behavior health unit right at the hospital. Their price is competitive or cheaper than a lot of the facilities that I went to, and their place is absolutely gorgeous. I happened to mention that my mother likes grits with her meals, and they didn’t even know what grits were, but the next time I went there, that day they had went out and bought a box of grits. So that is the kind of place that they are. They listen to everything that you say about what your mom wants or likes. They are very caring and highly skilled, and they are all trained in memory care. They go beyond just the regular custodial taking care of them because they really know what people like. (read less)

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Manteno

Assisted living facilities in Manteno comply with regulations set by the Illinois Department of Public Health. This agency establishes rules to ensure residents’ safety and comfort, including those regarding staffing and staff training, care planning and nutrition services. The department also investigates reports of substandard care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Manteno

• Manteno’s cost of living is consistent with the state as a whole and about 6% lower than the national median. In most metrics on a cost-of-living index, the city is more affordable than the typical U.S. community. However, local housing prices are a little higher than the Illinois average, which may make assisted living a financially viable alternative to homeownership.  
• Seniors in Manteno don’t pay state taxes on most of their retirement income. The state exempts Social Security benefits, pension income and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts from taxation, meaning seniors only pay federal taxes on this income. This may leave more money in the bank for residential care expenses.  
• Health care services, such as dental care, hospital stays and doctor’s office visits, cost a little less in Manteno than in the typical U.S. city. However, there are only about 137 doctors per 100,000 people, which is about 35% less than the national average and may impact wait times to see primary and specialty care providers. There are no major hospitals in Manteno, but residents have easy access to two facilities in neighboring Kankakee, including Riverside Medical Center and AMITA Health St. Mary’s Hospital Kankakee.  
• River Valley Metro provides transportation services in the Manteno region, supplementing the transportation services assisted living residents have access to. It offers the Benefit Access Ride Free Permit to those aged 65 and over, allowing them to ride all fixed routes free of charge. In addition to its fixed routes, the agency has ADA service for those functionally unable to use the fixed-route service.  
• Manteno’s year-round high temperatures range from 31-84 degrees, ranking it among the cooler places in Illinois to live. The city sees about 26 inches of snow annually, about a third of which falls in January. July tends to be muggy, but humidity levels are low throughout the rest of the year. To engage residents during the winter months, assisted living facilities provide indoor recreational programming. 

Paying for Assisted Living in Manteno

Manteno is among the costlier cities for assisted living, with seniors paying approximately $4,841 per month for services. This is over $500 higher than the national median of $4,300 and nearly $270 more than the state rate of $4,575.  

The Cost of Assisted Living in Nearby Cities

In Decatur, monthly assisted living rates are closer to the national median at $4,269. Peoria has among the cheapest rates in the state and nation at $3,800.  

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care 

Older adults in Manteno have several care options, depending on their preferred living environment and care needs. Those who want to save the most money may opt to live at home and attend adult day health care facilities. Local rates aren’t available for this type of care, but statewide, the monthly average is nearly 70% lower than Manteno’s assisted living rate at $1,636. Home-based care, including homemaker services and specialized care from home health aides, costs $4,767 per month for 44 hours of weekly services. Assisted living is a little costlier at $4,841. Nursing homes charge the highest monthly fees of $6,540 for semiprivate accommodations and $7,224 for private rooms.
