"My grandma was in Pleasant Valley Manor. They were very helpful. Its a nice, smaller place, so the rooms were smaller and had smaller personal space. My grandma really liked the closeness of the residents, and they had a lot of fun doing the activities. They really made a great effort in keeping it clean, decorating, and making it a cheerful place to visit."

"I have found the facility to be very good. Staff seem eager to assist residents and treat them with love and respect. I have never seen a staff person respond in a testy or angry way to a resident. I have eaten meals there with my wife and they are very good, low salt of course, but plentiful and tasty. "

"My mother moved into Shepherd's View in Alton. It's a very nice facility in a rural area. The staff was very helpful in making our choice. It's a really pretty facility and very easily located just off the highway. They've just been very helpful and very kind, and mom has felt like she's gotten excellent care. She has a private room and is very happy with it. They clean it daily, and it's plenty spacious for one person. She seems perfectly happy with the dining area, and they're very accommodating regarding food. She said that if they were having something that she didn't like, all she had to do is tell them an hour ahead of time, tell them what she wanted instead, and they would fix it for her. Their menu is very accommodating. If it's something that the resident doesn't really care for, they'll fix that resident something else. The atmosphere seems very friendly and accommodating. Everybody seems to really enjoy living there. She says the food is great."
