Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Peoria, IL

"I toured Proctor Place. It was a nice place. They took me through a room and showed me the cafeteria, and showed me the general layout of the facility. We talked about costs and that type of stuff. I saw a room that was under construction because they didn't have any available rooms of the type that I might have been looking at. I think the rooms were a little smaller than I expected at that location, at least in the price range that I was looking at the amenities seemed nice. They had little places for gardening that I liked."

"Lutheran Hillside Village was the one I liked. They had a dinner-type thing. They had advanced care or recuperating care, too. The people were friendly, and it felt very relaxed. They had a swimming pool, a nice outdoor patio, and a chapel. I thought it was excellent. It's good. The staff were very nice. They invited us for lunch, and it was a very nice lunch. They sat with us and visited. The food was excellent, too. I think we had a salmon meal, and it was a generous portion. It's a nice place. It was very, very clean and spacious. They had a piano that people could play games and all kinds of stuff. They had an option of homes apart from the main building, but you could still go in for meals, and then they had really nice apartments."

"We chose Washington Christian Village for my aunt because of the location and cost. It meets the needs and it's where we needed to be both cost wise and proximity to where all the family live. During Covid, they are offering meals in the dining room once a week and the rest of the week, the residents are eating in their rooms. They offer transportation to appointments, beauty shop, and activities. Everything is scaled back because of Covid. The cleaning, nursing, bathing, and dressing assistance were included in the price, instead of it being additional cost. She hasn't moved in yet, so from a residential standpoint, I don't know about that. The staff was very informational and very accommodating."
