Assisted Living Communities in Normal, IL

"I have lived here since March and it is a wonderful place to live. Staff is very supportive and caring. Everyone I have met is very friendly. My neighbors are courteous and caring. It is quite and there are numerous activities to get involved in. People look out for each other. Love it here."

"We visited Westminster Village Bloomington. It's been there for quite a while, but they're remodeling and adding stuff. It's a convenient community although my mom wasn't really impressed with the whole thing. She did like what the rooms had to offer, so she was probably satisfied. Caroline, the one who helped us during the tour, was very friendly and informative. She listened, tried to explain everything to mom, and was very well-informed. Their dining room is very big and had plenty of room. A lot of people were just sitting around, talking at the tables, and watching TV and some were walking or exercising. They had three different levels and they're adding on to it. The community is well-established and has been there for a long time."

"Everything has been excellent at Bloomington Towanda Barnes Villas and Reflections. My mother-in-law's room is very clean. It has exceeded our expectations. They come in, clean weekly, and do what they say they're going to do. She's very happy there. They have bingo, dice, they watch movies, do exercises, and a variety of different things. I've had a couple of meals there and they've been very good. She has spoken very highly of it."

"I made a personal tour to the Villas of Holly Brook for my dad. It is very nice. I am familiar with it as I have an aunt that lives there. I went through the virtual tour of their amenities, but I did not get an on-site tour of them, but they have quite a number. I think it would be very appropriate for my dad's needs. Even though I visit my aunt I never really got in to see all the facility or talk to anyone that's really been there and can talk about the quality of the food or anything, but I'm very impressed with the cleanliness and the atmosphere."

"I went to Luther Oaks. It's a lovely, premium-type place that was just too expensive for us. We saw the room and saw where they ate and so forth, and it was beautiful. They do have a workout area for exercise. They have outdoor park areas. It's very open, very clean, extremely clean. The staff was very pleasant."

"I visited Meadows Mennonite Home's skilled nursing but for memory care. Overall, it is very good. It's a little dated, but they have a newer part. The staff members that I interacted with seemed very nice. They have sitting areas, one outside and one inside. The beds were like hospital beds, but the residents can set the room and decorate it up how they want to. They also take Medicaid."

"We have just moved my mom into Hopedale Commons (East). Everything was very positive. The room is very nice. It has just been remodeled. New bathroom cabinets and countertops. Everything had been painted. I like the vinyl floor more than the old carpeting that was in some of the units we looked at. This one had been updated and had vinyl flooring, which works better for walkers and chairs. Everything was good with the unit. I asked my mom how the food was and she said the food was good. The staff were very responsive and answered all the questions when we were looking at it. I saw some card games going on and a lot of people exercising in the hallways, like walking laps. Everything has been updated, well kept, and clean. The exterior was well-kept. It looks like they have some group things. I looked at assisted living, they have movies and trips and stuff like that, but with independent living, everyone can still have a car or has their family can come and pick them up and such. It was very reasonable for what we looked at out there. They have assisted living right in the building next door, so if that progressed that was available to my mom also. "

"I took my mother to Washington Villas of Hollybrook to tour it and she liked it the best. It had the fifties diner and that was one thing different that was added. Plus they had two ponds there so mom could fish or relatives of hers could come there and go fishing. The director and everybody was very friendly. Everybody we walked by, greeted you every time, even if it was just a hello or a compliment or something like that. They just don't walk past you and ignore you. So, it's not like walking down a street."

"We are on the waiting list right now at Morton Villas of Holly Brookand. It was very clean and everyone was very nice and helpful. There was so much for my in-laws to do as far as activities. We did not eat the food but the place looked really clean and I asked some of the residents and they said the food was not bad. The staff were very kind, helpful, and friendly. They seemed to really care about their job. They have a salon and they have a 1950s diner that is so cool that they could eat in. They said they hold church services every week, they have a coffee bar that is really cool, and a movie theater that is really nice."

"What a great job they have done this crazy year. Thanks to them and would recommend them to anyone"

"My Mother is currently a resident of Snyder Village Assisted Living, and has been continuously resident in various facilities within the Snyder Village community since 1990. Over the course of those 25 years I have been pleased to witness the exceptional dedication to my Mother's well-being by both staff and management. She now views the Assisted Living center as home, and the staff give her the respect, care, and attention that one deserves in their home. She recently suffered some health issues that necessitated a stay in the supervised Health Center, and every effort was made by the staff to ensure that she was able to return home, i.e., to Assisted Living, as promptly as possible. It is this dedication to doing what is best for the residents that makes me confident that she is enjoying the best quality of life possible in a safe and caring environment. The administration of the Assisted Living center is first rate, and the already excellent facility is well maintained and continuously improving. I can't imagine a better home for my Mother at this stage of her life, and I am grateful that Snyder Village has made the Assisted Living center available to her. "
