The Best Assisted Living Communities in Williamson County, IL

"I would go with my girlfriend to visit her grandmother at her housing in the assisted living facility. The staff was relatively nice, some more then others. Some of the staff would joke and talk with you, others would act as if you didnt exist. My girlfriends grandmother never had any complaints about the place or any of the staff. The facility seemed to be treating her grandma really good.The only slight complaint she had is that she got bored a lot. We visited her grandmother several times and each time it seemed like a different staff team was working. The place was kept up and clean and didnt smell strange in any way. Her grandmothers room wasnt the biggest, but it had the basics and was easy to get around in. I wouldnt mind having to go back her place anytime. All together, the place was pretty comfortable, nice and most of all, my girlfriends grandmother was happy there. "

"It's been a good experience having my mom at Fifth Season at Radcliffe Street so far. The staff is really nice and the rooms are definitely more than adequate for her. I like that the community is small enough, so it's like a family there. The atmosphere is light and comfortable there, and the residents can go in and out of their apartments. It's just so pretty inside, and the dining area is very nicely set up. I have only eaten there with mom once but it's very good food, they have a variety of different things too."

"The Voyage Senior Living Marion North provides three meals a day and plenty of snacks. They got good people there. You can visit as much as you want to, so there's no limit on when and how often you can visit. The staff seemed very nice. They were caring people. It is a place that I think my sister will be very content and happy with. The apartment we saw was spacious. It had a sitting room, a bedroom, and a fully handicap-accessible bath with a walk-in shower and shower bars. It had a friendly atmosphere and I was pleased with it. They have a lot of activities. They take them out on day outings for those that want to go. They also have a gathering space, books, and a room where the staff keeps it stocked with items so residents can shop there for the things they need."

"The Landings at Reed Station Crossing seemed like they had their act together. I was impressed that it was clean and they seemed to have good personnel and a fair amount of service for the amount of money. They had games set up somewhere and it looked like they had several decent activities. The apartment they showed me was the right size. It wasn't really cramped. It wasn't also a tremendous amount of room, but it was just adequate, enough to be comfortable. It wouldn't be like a studio apartment where you got everything on top of each other. It was like a separate bedroom. The people I met there seemed to know what they were doing. I wasn't there long enough to get a whole lot of evaluation, but it was enough for me to see that they were better than some of the other places I looked at."

"We loved it they treated my aunt like family. She was depressed and would not eat but the staff there made sure that she ate at meal times. They also kept her company when no one could visit here. They are a grade a facility. "

"I would recommend Prairie Living at Chautauqua, there isn't another place in Carbondale I would recommend. They have nurses on staff to help with baths, medication, to help get them to dining area, and coordinate things. It was an excellent experience from the point of view of the care my parents received there. My parents weren't there very long, but the staff there were very helpful, very kind, they were very responsive to my parents' needs. The other people I've visited there have been very pleased with the care their loved ones are receiving. They also have decent food and they're responsive to people's diets. So if you're on a sodium restriction diet or if you're a vegetarian, there is lots of good food to eat, which isn't true for other communities. They're not taking anybody right now and that's the problem. They have a little gym for people who want to work out a little bit, they have arts and crafts areas, and a library. They have all the standard things. The food is good, I could eat it, and let's just say it doesn't come out of a big can, though they're not gourmet. They have a nutritionist on staff. They have nice apartments, people are on their own, but there are people around and things to do. They'd have musical groups come in and entertain, they'd have movies, they would take people to the doctors' office. They do a lot and you get a big bang for your buck there. They also have requirements there about how many people have to have public aide or Medicare, so it's not all private pay. If you don't have any money they're gonna help you. The activities were fine, they're appropriate for the people that are there. There's always something to do, they're not sitting around, people are doing things. They have low staff turnover and they treat people there. There's no problem at this place, they're clean, and well-managed."

"We toured the Fifth Season of Benton for my parents. My mother liked that all the residents appeared to be happy, and she liked the size of the apartment. We liked the whole place, and it was all nice, but those were two things that she indicated right off. I think they have therapy that comes in. They also had the the workout room, a family room, and outside areas. They also offered me all the meals and snacks throughout the day. The staff members were all very nice. I saw the owner and the lady that gave us the tour. They were five stars. The place was very nice, very neat, and very clean. It's laid out really nice. I think they take them out to like different places for the day. They go to Walmart, too. They have church there and they take them shopping if they need to go shopping. They play bingo, they have games set out all the time, and they have a puzzle room."

"I really love going to Big Muddy a River to River Assisted Living. It honestly seems like a wonderful place to live. Most assisted living homes, and nursing homes are portrayed as awful places that the residents absolutely hate. However, this one is different. It has a very colorful and polite community, with great caring staff members. My uncle really enjoys living there. There are plenty of things for the residents to do socially with each other, such as watch television together, or play some games in the game room. Or even for the residents who are not quite so social, they can keep to themselves in their own apartment. Everyone is treated fairly there, and they always seem to be in a good mood. After all, who could be upset living in such a great place? I've always told myself that I do not ever wish to go into any kind of assisted living, or nursing home, but after seeing this one, I may have changed my mind. "

"Heritage Woods of Benton is wonderful, and I love it. The staff is very friendly and supportive, and the food is excellent. My room here is very good and everything is great. I think it's wonderful here. I have only been in my apartment since I got here, because of the virus, but they have a nice little restaurant where we have lunch."

"The lady at Harrisburg Villas of Holly Brook was very nice and helpful, took her time with us, and explained everything very well. It was all nice and clean. We got to look down the hallway and see the cafeteria. They haven't had a case of the virus there, so they're really careful about letting people in. The staff showed us the activities from January and February. They had church services, bingo and different things, and they had a nice little outdoor patio. The room was very clean, and it had the shower where you can sit down in and plenty of cabinet space in the bathroom and in the kitchen, but there's just a refrigerator, a microwave and a sink. They give three meals a day, and they got a snack bar."

"My aunt and uncle lived in Autumn Ridge Supported Living for several years. It was a very nice place that was brand new when they moved in. They served all their meals right there. They had some residents on Medicaid. They did a few day trips, shopping trips, game nights in their dining hall, groups visiting from various churches in the area, singing and preaching. The carpeting in the halls was nice. It was nicely painted, very upbeat, and very bright. The decor was bright. Most of the units were one-bedrooms, but they also had a two-bedroom unit. They had the schedule of events and meals for the month posted on the bulletin board. My aunt and uncle stayed in their apartment to eat and they kind of discouraged that. They wanted the people out socializing in the dining room, which impressed me. The staff was very caring. The food was kind of bland, which it had to be for their diet. Activities were age appropriate, and they had pretty good participation."
