Assisted Living Communities in Springfield, IL

"We chose it for Mom because it seemed to be the best, especially for care. All places seem to be equal in food and the quality of the facilities, but the overall care here seems to be more individualized and the residents are given more attention. Mom does outside therapy and loves reading. The staff is very good, informative, helpful, courteous, and kind. I get a good feeling whenever I'm there. They serve all three meals and take their residents to doctors' appointments. "

"Rochester Estates Senior Living is an assisted and senior type retirement. I was really impressed. It's very clean. The rooms were very spacious compared to where my mother is right now. It's a very nice place. The head of the place was not available, so the head chef was the one that gave me the tour, and she did a very good job. The bathrooms were very large, which is good, especially for people with walkers and wheelchairs. The kitchen was very nice-sized, there's a lot of storage in the apartments, and it's very clean. You got a very good view out back. They had a sidewalk that goes all the way around the building, and they got their own garden. It looked good as far as the upkeep. I don't think it's that old of a building either. I like that it's all on one floor. They have an eating area, and if you have a birthday, they'll cook you whatever you want. They do a lot of fresh food. They try to get community food from around the area. The chef is very health conscious as far as how much fat and sugars people get. I was impressed by the menus."

"My dad is a resident of Villas of Holly Brook. The staff is friendly and caring, and the place is immaculate. My dad is constantly checked on at meal times, and encouraged to come out and interact with the other residents to engage conversation. They provide transportation outside of the community for medical appointments three days a week. They have activities, church services, and physical therapy and occupational therapy on-site. They do it all. They serve scheduled meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the dining area. There's always snacks available in the lobby, like cookies or brownies with lemonade or iced tea. The residents know what the menus are, and they have their own refrigerator and kitchenettes in case they don't like what's being served. They provide housekeeping, laundry, and have a barber shop and a nurse on duty. They also have a gym and a theater where they can watch movies and have popcorn. They have a nice courtyard where people can sit outside or on their porches. I'm a nurse practitioner and I work in these places, so I would say that Villas of Holly Brook is a top-notch place."

"I like Carriage Crossing of Rochester. I like it because the room was a nice size. Not too big and not too small either. It was very well set up. The place was very clean. It didn't have any urine smell. It was a nice place. The residents that I saw looked like they were very happy there. They had a refrigerator and a microwave in the apartment. The staff who took me around was fantastic. She was a wonderful person to work with."

"I went to Courtyard Estates of Girard. I would be doing independent living. It ticked all the boxes. The independent portion is beyond suitable. It is a full apartment. The residents that I met are very nice. The staff is exceptional. I met the director, and she is great. Everything that they have given me is worth the money. I recommend this to everyone. It is a beautiful place, situated in a beautiful part of Illinois. It is a small community, and it is friendly and very welcoming. Even from the outside, you could just kind of guess as to the quality and the standards that they have for their facility. Just driving by, you would want to stop and take a look. This place is top-notch all the way. The staff is wonderful. It is a very caring, integrative, family-oriented staff. You can tell that they care about the residents. When I came in, they were making homemade ice cream, so it brought memories from childhood. That was very endearing to me. They had people there who were participating in that. The menu that they showed me was for four weeks. It is not for one week that's repeated. The staff members that I met were very helpful, very friendly, and very inviting. They even had a little sign that said, 'Welcome, Patti.' They had special little touches that made me feel very welcome. They gave me a little going-away gift, and they said that they have got a spot just for me. I saw some housekeeping people there; again, they were very friendly and very encouraging. They are people that you would incorporate into your family. They would be somebody you would all become friends with. It's that type of environment. They have staff that is there for long term. I like that part about that as well. They told me about the longevity of some of the staff members, and that's great. They have a little pond area, a gazebo, and activities that are planned for the residents. They can come and they can go. In the independent portion, if they have a car, they have garages available. They have everything there. The menu was extensive. I couldn't believe the choices that they have for that. It's great. You could tell that it is a very well-kept place. It doesn't look like it's worn. They keep it up. It's not something that you let run down or anything like that. This is a very nice gathering place. They have several areas for projects that residents are working on. Puzzles are a big thing there, and you can see that they have two or three different areas where they have puzzles that are in progress. They make some of them permanent, where they hang them as art pieces. So it's wonderful."
