The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Clark County, IL

"Robert Flowers Village is connected to the nursing home. The residents can get their food from the nursing home if they want to, but other than that, they're pretty much independent. It's 12 to 14 individual apartments connected by a hallway, and each has individual entrances. You don't have to go to the lobby to get to your room. It's not a controlled environment, but there's not going to be a lot of people running around. I put my name on the waiting list to move in there. I liked that it was an individual apartment, it had washer and dryer on the same floor, had separate entrance, each one has a backdoor, and you can have a little patio. Most of the people were a little younger, and they're pretty active on their own. They can go out to eat, cook for themselves, order in, or order food from the nursing home, which wasn't spectacular but not terrible. "

"We toured here. It was a very, very nice experience. The lady that took us around was very knowledgeable and very personable. There's a nice family atmosphere. It seems like it was a community inside a community, it was very nice. They even had a bank. The apartments were very impressive. They were a nice size. We looked at a one-bedroom apartment and it was just a nice experience. I would recommend it highly. The staff who gave me the tour was very friendly. She just put you at ease, and she was very, very sweet. The dining area was impressive. We didn't eat there, but we thought it was pretty neat to have so many selections. For my dad, that's a really important factor. He was looking at the menus a lot, so he seemed pretty impressed by that. We saw lots of things posted for activities. The lady that gave us the tour pointed them out. We even met the person that leads the exercise activities, but we didn't see anything. It looked like they offered a lot of nice things. I like the activities that are offered. It looks like there was something every day and a lot of variety."

"I had a pretty good tour at Sycamore Manor. The staff covered everything. They had a little library, an area to see movies, an activity room, and they had a little courtyard. It was nice, and I kind of liked it. The lady that toured me was nice. The room that I saw was more like a studio apartment, and it was nice. It was located in a nice area. There was a mall right across from it. The outside had little patios, like little balconies. Every room had a balcony. The meal that I had was good."

"Odd Fellow - Rebekah Home was a larger facility and it had two different Alzheimer's wards, a general population ward, private rooms and semi-private rooms. They also had a courtyard and four different dining facilities in the building. I found it to be very attractive, and my wife spent her last living days there. The two Alzheimer's wards had one for the more severely impaired from a cognitive perspective and the regular ward, which was for people that were ambulatory, could get by by themselves, and required less attention. Both of them were very nice and had their own private dining facilities, television, games, activities, entertainment. They had a full-time person that came in and played games with them and taught them how to use rubber hammers to help them with their manual dexterity, roll rubber balls back and forth to them, and walked with them around the facility. The facility was very good and laid out nicely for walking. "
