Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Paxton, IL

"My parents moved into Accolade Healthcare Paxton Senior Living. So far, talking with them on the telephone, answering my questions, getting back to me, has been fantastic. We took Mom and Dad up recently, and the nurses that came out and got them, and the lady that took their clothes and took some information from me were very nice and very reassuring. I've only seen the front and the reception area. It's an older building, but it looks well maintained. It's very clean in the area that we were at, and they had sanitizer and wipes right there, so they were ready to do what needed to be done. They're in quarantine, so they're not yet going to the dining room or anything."

"We visited Clark-Lindsey Village and they don't have assisted now. They just have independent living and if you need skilled help, then they move you. There are two other buildings on site, but it's not part of what we looked at. That was a 5 all the way around. It was top of the line. They said they would have assisted living probably in about a year or a year and a half. They had everything, i.e., activity rooms, a swimming pool for water aerobics, outdoor space for walks, and a garden lot. I would move in there. It was so nice. I just don't think it would've been a fit for my relative because she needs assistance. You can work with their staff and they can help you find somebody to come in and help, but then you're not only paying to live there, but you're also paying for homecare, too, so that just didn't fit."

"I'm currently a resident of Windsor of Savoy. It's very nice. It's clean. It's a little bit on the expensive side. I have a full kitchen. I have a two-bedroom unit. There is a living room in the middle. It works out very nicely. It's very good. The staff are always very helpful. They provide breakfast from 7:00 to 8:30. They also provide a full dinner meal between 4:30 and 6:30. They have plenty of places to walk and plenty of activities to take part in if you want to. They play cards in the afternoon. There is always music from the community on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 to 8:00. It's very nice. The activities are very good if you choose to take part in them. It's an excellent place to be."

"We found Fairview Haven for my parents. It's just very clean and very nice, the cost is a lot lower than most of the other places. They allow you to age in place, and they also have a nursing home and assisted living under the same roof. They offer housekeeping, three meals a day plus snacks. The independent living has their own dining room. They offer activities, transportation to doctors, to other fun things, and to the grocery store. They do laundry for you, or you can do it yourself, and it's all in one level. They're not there yet, but they will be."
