Evergreen Senior Living - Normal on Gregory

Jackie

My mom is at Evergreen Place Assisted Living. They're very caring and easy to communicate with, and they provide lots of activities and opportunities for my mom. The staff is very informative and always contacts me right away if anything happens. And if I need them to do anything for my mom, they're very eager and willing to do that too, so it's a good place. She doesn't complain about the food, they bring it to her room when she needs it, or they'll help get her down if they need to. I think they're very expensive, but compared to other places, they're all way overpriced and that's just how it is. My mom doesn't go to many of the activities, but they offer good things for them. Like for Easter, the families can come in and eat for $5 per person, up to three people. They have live bunnies come in that residents could hold, they have music provided by Illinois State students come in, they play bingo, they have movie weekends and popcorn, and they have donuts every Friday. They also have meetings with the residents where they take their input and change things. Like when the residents asked for the doors to stay open longer, and so they changed that, and they also talked about the menus being placed in different places. After they have their meetings, they then type up letters and send that to all the residents. They're listening to their residents' needs and then taking their input and making things better.

I like the staff at Evergreen Place Assisted Living and the common areas were top-notch. The apartments were very small and the closets were like a coat closet. Everything else was fabulous. The building was beautiful. They've got a gym, a hair salon, and very nice common areas. The only downside about the place was the apartments were small. It's close to everything we know. It's near a hospital.

Evergreen Place Supportive Living has a friendly staff. The rooms were very nice and well laid out and roomy. From what I could see, everything was the way it should be. I saw the dining room but we weren't there at mealtime, it was nice and roomy and they explained about their menu. If there was something that they didn't like on the menu, they could choose something else. The person giving me the tour was good.

Evergreen Place was very nice. The rooms were not as big as the ones that my mother-in-law is in now size-wise, but they were very nice and clean. Everybody working there was very pleasant. It's been newly renovated, so it's very nice. They have quite a few amenities. They have a little library, a little cafe, and things like that.
