Assisted Living Communities in Hannibal, MO

"We went to the Bickford of Quincy. It was excellent, and we got an excellent tour with all the questions answered. It was comfortable, and it looked like a nice place. They showed us three different rooms, they were very nice, with plenty of closet space and nice bathrooms. Amy was very professional, very patient with us, and answered all questions."

"After placing a loved one here,I am so thankful and blessed for the outstanding performance of the staff and all they do for him.He really enjoys the place and along with him we both agree it is a beautiful place,it gives me such peace of mind that he is well taken care of,he has improved in so many ways since being placed there.Keep up the great work you are doing.

"At this time, Pleasant View is the only assisted living facility in Hannibal, so luckily it is a good one. The building is fairly new and in good condition. There are both independent living and assisted living apartments available. Apartments are either studio style, or with a separate bedroom. Mom shares her apartment with her cat, which helps to make it "home." The staff, in general, is very caring, knowledgeable and conscientious. All medications are administered throughout the day by the staff. Personal care is also provided. (Assistance with bathing, support bandages, etc.) Because my mother requires help with her leg wraps each day, this is important. There are activities every day...bingo, movie night, news updates, poker, exercises. Suggestions are welcomed...my mother started a prayer group on Fridays, which was promptly included on the calendar. All meals are provided in a dining area. The meals may be the single biggest negative about the facility. Mom has found the meals to be repetitive and often boring. Chicken soup has no flavor. Fruit cup is canned fruit cocktail. The same choices appear over and over. Although she gets plenty to eat, Mom finds the food uninspiring. Transportation to medical appointments can be arranged, for a fee. Basic cable television is included. A hair salon is available. Overall, Pleasant View is a pleasant place to live. If I could give it 4 1/2 stars, I would; it just doesn't quite deserve five. "

"My father was in Bristol Manor of Palmyra. It has 12 rooms, a staff member lives there full time, they have other staff members, and it's a residential care facility. There were eight people living at the same time he was. He did not like it there. He fell there, and after hospitalization, he needed intensive rehab. They were pretty much in lockdown. I liked Bristol Manor, I liked the price, and the people I was dealing with, but for dad, it was not the right fit. He did not get along with the people there."

"My mother-in-law has been in Cedarhurst of Quincy. It's a memory care place. She's getting very forgetful, so we were told she needed to be in that place. They have a neighborhood, and I believe there are 14 people that live inside the place that they can talk to, and they eat together. This at least allows her to get out and talk to people, and make a better life, probably for her, and I like that part of it. We're just having trouble getting her medications. If she had a bad headache, or something like that at night, which she does from time to time, she's not getting the pain medication for it. They have a nurse that comes in that gives out the medication and she just comes in during the day, so if there's a problem at night, you can't get much help. Her room is nice, but it's very small. By design, they told us they like to have small rooms, because they want the residents to go out and spend their time. There's a nice living area with a TV, and they play games, and they got a kitchen where they feed together. I haven't tasted anything there myself, but she says the food is OK. They play bingo, I've seen them throwing a football around, and they had a party for St. Patrick's Day. The atmosphere is very good. The major problem is getting her medications. The building is only a couple years old, so everything is pretty new. It has a courtyard in the middle of the area that they can go into when the weather is nice. Everything is new and clean."

"My mother was at Lynn's Heritage House. She loved it. It was great. They were fantastic. It was clean and bright, and they ate with tablecloths on the table and china. They had crafts for them to do every day, and they had activities. There was no COVID when she was there, so we were there as much as we wanted to be."
