Assisted Living Communities in Taylorville, IL

"The Carriage Crossing of Decatur was very clean. The staff was very friendly. Everybody seemed to be in very good spirits. The people that I saw weren't upset or angry. Everybody looked clean and taken care of. It was a very good facility. For amenities, they offer four main dishes, but then there's always the option in case you don't like something. If the person cannot get out of their room, they make sure that they have whatever meal delivered to their suite. There is a spa there for hydrotherapy, a salon, and they do monthly field trips for those who can. They also have entertainment brought in weekly to interact with the people living there. They're on top of their game. They're very good."

"I loved my time as a resident there. I always felt safe, loved and cared for. The food is delicious and management seems to really care, as does the staff. They take pride in their facility and it shows."

"Hickory Estates of Taylorville looked like a really nice facility with good staff. My dad liked it a lot. He thought it looked good. We had a nice tour. The staff was extremely friendly, and the place was clean. We saw the dining room, and it looked nice. The meal plan looked good. It seemed like they had a lot of activities. They had a bulletin board of stuff that was going on. They had a very nice courtyard, where the residents could go out on a nice day."

"Life’s Journey is small -- they only take fifteen people -- but it seemed like a nice and clean place. The rooms have a large bedroom with a bath. They have a dining facility, TV, movies, and games. "

"The Gardens at Moweaqua was nice and clean. I liked it. It seemed like a good community. The lady that gave me the tour was very nice and answered all my questions. It was a really good experience. The rooms were nice and really big. Surprisingly, they're bigger than I thought they would be. It's a nice layout. I think my dad will be happy there. They got bingo, a living area, and a dining room. It's just a nice place altogether. There's somebody there 24 hours a day. The only problem my dad has is he falls a lot and he can't get back up. If they will go by and check on him now and then, it'll be a good deal. The staff told me they got plans to renovate some of the rooms, so they're investing back in their facility. The cost of The Gardens is a little bit better than some of the other places that I went to. It works for my dad's budget."

"We toured Hickory Estates. It has a nice location, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff is friendly and cordial. Had mom's condition been a little bit better, we may have gone with them. The rooms are nice and well kept, the arrangement is simple, and they look clean. It seems to be pleasant."

"We toured Chatham Villas of SouthPark. The executive director was our host. She was very thorough, very informative, and followed up with me to see if there was anything else that she might answer questions or what she could assist me with. They have a movie theater, they have a space for them to go and read books or do puzzles, and they have a community dining area. It is all very similar to the other facility. They have a courtyard, a movie theater, a salon, and a small area set up in their therapy room where individuals could go in there and work on some exercise equipment. It's very updated and it's fairly new. It would be a facility where I could see myself living there. The rooms themselves were like an apartment. They're very clean and very modernized. Just a very nice setting."

"Timberlake Supportive Living was excellent. You walk in and they have a big two story entryway -- all very open -- a large area where people can sit and talk, a large dining room, and lots of activities posted. They had signs for their menus for the meals, and everything was very clean. It was updated, very serene, and had a nice walking path around it so the residents could get out and walk around outside. The rooms were very nice, and I was surprised at how big it was. They had different buildings, and the one that we toured was the assisted living which is all in one big building, maybe three stories high, and has elevators to get to all the rooms. They have a nurse on duty there. In the other buildings, they had the independent living apartments. It had good security, and the grounds were big enough. Nobody can just jump out from behind the bush and grab you. So I thought it was very nice, and I would like to live there. "

"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."

"My dad is at Springfield Supportive Living. It's very nice, it's open and airy, and the walls are painted in bright colors. The staff is really friendly and helpful. He has his own apartment, with a sink, refrigerator, bathroom, and a bed. He also has a nice balcony to sit on. They provided all the furniture for him. They come in and give his medicine at night, and they make sure he takes it. They have birds, a fish tank, shuffle boards, and all kinds of activities going on all the time. They have a nice sitting area outside, like a patio, and they have vegetables that they're growing that the residents can water and take care of."

"My mom was in River Birch Living for a while. It was in a beautiful location. It was a very warm and homey environment. It was very clean. The staff was very friendly and very helpful from what I saw. My mom didn't necessarily feel the same way. I thought the care was good, but she didn't feel the same way. At the time, there weren't many residents in there. She was doing much better than she is now. She wanted more activities than what there were. They did bingo, and there were little games that they play. My siblings and I thought the food looked absolutely amazing. They were chef-prepared meals, but she didn't like it. It was in a beautiful location, so the views were beautiful. The room was very nice and very clean. The place itself was well-maintained. They had outdoor areas and indoor areas. There was also a family dining area."

"My sister is in Imboden Creek Gardens now; the experience so far is good. She's really enjoying it; she's really happy. The doctors are taking care of her and everything. It's close to where my brothers and sisters can go out and see her, so she's really happy. She has activities and exercise, and she also has doctors who come in. We can also go in the place to see her and talk to her. I like them: the service, the excellent staff, getting things done on time, and giving me feedback. The client is happy, and that's what we are looking for. They have a library, hair salon, exercise -- they have it all."

"I am a resident of Illinois Presbyterian Home. I just like the staff and the way they care for the people who need care. We have very good meals. They cook and the independent people have to go to the other building to eat. If you don't want to go outside and eat, you wouldn't like independent living. But I think the nursing staff does a good job of taking care of the people that live there. They have a library, an activity director, and she does lots of things with the ones that live in that building. We have exercises in both buildings. I lived in two other communities, and Illinois Presbyterian Home was more my type, and the cost was not as high as where I moved from."
