"I went to Pekin Estates, and it's clean. My grandmother stayed there, so my mother is going to stay there. That's where she wants to go. It's a nice-sized apartment. They have a dining room, an outside atrium, a beauty salon, a coffee station, and a room we can reserve for parties."

"I went to Pekin Villas of Holly Brook and Reflections Memory Care. I thought it was super nice. I thought the people were very friendly and helpful. The only reason we rejected it is that it was too far away from us. The staff was super friendly and super helpful. It looks beautiful and clean. I thought it was fine. I didn't see anything that I didn't like."

"I count my blessings every day for Amys Manor. My mother is treated like family which puts my mind,at ease. Amy has great meals always clean and never smells.tge rooms are clean mopped every night. There's a great deck to go sit and visit on. I sleep good at night knowing she is being taken care of and loved."

"First and foremost, Autumn Accolades is a first rate facility. My mother lived here for almost three years. My wife and I both think that she got the best care possible while there. The food is prepared fresh each meal and the head cook rotates the menu so it is never repetitive. The whole facility is clean and well kept. The staff is professional and caring. They have an activities director and she is always doing some fun project with the residents. The owner is on site almost every day and she and the manager ensure that resident safety and comfort is a priority. From the cost viewpoint AA is very attractive. We researched other facilities and most could not come close to the prices that AA charges. I highly recommend Autumn Accolades for someone who need this level of assisted living."

"My grandmother has moved into the Grande Regency of Peoria. It's a very good facility. They have nice apartments. They've got a 24-hour on-call nurse. They have maintenance staff that can do quite a bit of stuff for you, and they have a bistro-style lunch, dinner, and breakfast that my grandmother's been loving. She's kind of in between assisted living and independent living. She needs some assistance, but she doesn't need a lot yet. We picked this one because they have those different levels of care and the on-call nurse thing. Their nurses can assist with any of the normal daily activities that you need help with. It works out well. They can assist with putting shoes on. My grandmother doesn't need that, but she does need assistance with cleaning and things, and they have housekeeping and they do laundry. They come in and do laundry once a week. They take your trash out for you every day, and they come in once a week to do cleaning for you as well. We were able to see quite a bit of what they have there, as well as what they have in the way of amenities there without intruding on other people's care and time, and personal information. We were able to see the lunchroom area. They have nutritionists and chefs on staff. They have housekeeping, laundry, a spa room, and they have a podiatrist every once a month to do foot care and nails if you can't do your toenails. They have a lot of stuff in the building. However, they do have to use elevators to get to the different levels for things, which is understandable. They took an older building and renovated it and turned it into an assisted living facility. It used to be a German restaurant at one point and a hotel. It's all got the original woodwork from that, too. They worked with my grandmother a lot to get her in there as quickly as they could. She likes their cooking, so I would say their food is good. She has not participated in activities yet because they do have a two-week quarantine period if you haven't had the vaccine. They work with Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. They have a program where if you can get qualified through Medicaid, with it, your income dictates how much you pay in rent. They take most of your Social Security money. They leave you with $90 of spending money a month. We're not paying out-of-pocket for her to be living there, and she still has the money to be able to spend on herself. They had some residents on the level that she was on, which had oxygen in the room. Because they have nurses on staff, they do quite a bit in the way of care and they can handle quite a bit. I'm thinking that once it gets to the point where you're bedridden and you can't get up and do some of the things, then it's where they would probably have to have you move into a nursing home. If you can still do some things for yourself, then they work with you."

"Morton Villas of Holly Brook had a separate 50s dining room. The staff was friendly. Everybody that walked by greeted you. We went around with the assistant director. We looked in a couple of rooms and then they showed us around for all the different activities where you would go. They're all on one floor. They have one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments. They do not have studios. They have the schedule on a wall. You can look at the schedule each day and see what they're doing that day and where all the residents are."

"The Saxony staff that worked with me planning respit care for my elderly mother were extremely caring & professional. Their experience in the elderly care profession gave them key insights to my mother's stay at their facility."

"Villas of Holly Brook and Reflections East Peoria was the first facility I went to. I think the location was out by Illinois Central College and everything worked out well with the tour, and that's the reason why I ended up visiting the other Villas of Holly Brook locations. They're all very friendly and very welcoming. I didn't make any appointments for my visit. We kind of showed up during working hours during the week and asked if we could go look at the apartments and they made time to visit with us and take us around. They got someone to take a tour within 15 minutes. They showed me everything. They have one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. We walked around and they showed me the spa, the theater, the library, and the community room. They have two courts. One has a fireside court on one side of the building and on the other side was a garden court for flowers and things like that. So, the residents can go right into those court areas. Right adjacent to the court, you have doorways into them so the residents have two entrances into the court."

"My overall tour at Serenity Assisted Living and Memory Care is excellent. The staff who gave the tour was also excellent. The facility is relatively new, very modern, and tastefully decorated. It has very attractive living spaces. There was an excellent calendar of activities. There's a bistro with all the refreshments, in addition to their dining room. I saw the menu but did not try the food. It was impressive and restaurant-like. It was sit-down dining with menu options. The location is a little bit out of the mainstream; it's on a dead-end street. It's a little bit remote. Dollar for dollar, they're an excellent value for independent living."

"My mother is in the assisted living of St. Francis Woods. They serve three meals a day and she has her own apartment with her own furniture. They have different activities, the place is very nice, and everyone seems really nice there. Mom seems to like it there. The staff is doing just great. She's in a studio apartment, but they also had variety of rooms like a one-bedroom apartment. They have a beauty shop, a little store, a very big TV where they can watch movies or entertainment almost every day, they have music brought in like karaoke or entertainers, and they have parties. It's pretty active there. Sometimes the staff is helpful, and sometimes they're not because they're busy. There's probably never enough staff members for a place like this since they have about a hundred or more residents. They have CNAs there to help, but they can take your food to your room if you don't want to go down to eat, and then at 2:00 they have snacks. I'm not crazy about the food, although they have quite a variety. My mother doesn't like the food too much, but it's not too bad; in my husband's previous community the food was a lot worse."
