The Best Senior Living Communities in Zeigler, IL

"My mother has been in StoneBridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for a while. She's settled and everything's good. It's been excellent. The staff is wonderful. They have a really good patient-nurse relationship. They're very kind to her and that really matters to me. They're very accommodating, answered all my questions, and just work with the families really well to make sure that their loved ones are cared for. She likes the food. It's a small facility and older. It's not like a brand new, shiny facility, but they make it homey. It's not as clean and nice as a hotel, but it's not bad. It's average."

"Hurricane Creek is very nice and very comfortable. It is also a fairly new place. The people who work there are wonderful. Besides activities, if a person needs help with bathing or showering, they will help them with that. My relative is still in rehab but we have an apartment reserved for her here. In fact, the administrator goes and visits her in the rehab place. In terms of location, it is close to where my relative is from."

"My dad is staying at Helia Healthcare of Benton. It's more than adequate. They've got him on a low-salt diet so he complains about the food not having any flavor or not tasting very good. I also didn't find it very appetizing. My dad was able to play Bingo and listen to some singers come in and play guitars."

"I think Reflections Memory Care - Carterville was a very nice facility for people that have Alzheimer's and I think that they are a loving group. They're very attentive to all their residents that are there. If they want to go for a walk, they walk with them. They don't let them wander or anything by themselves. They're always watched. It's a locked-down facility. If they want to go outside, there's always someone with them. It was just super nice. The people are very friendly, and I think they would take care of your loved one. I saw the food that they had, and it was very healthy, very delicious-looking, and smelled good. I did not eat there though. The physical appearance of this facility is beautiful."

"I was very pleased with Parkway Estates. It was very clean and spacious. They're very quick to update the carpet if there are any stains whatsoever. They spend a lot of time cleaning it, they have housekeeping once a week. They also do their laundry for them if they want. They have units that you can step into, if she needs additional care later, where they have 24-hour a day nursing care seven days a week, and three meals a day. So, as her condition gets worse, we have the option to have additional care. I have met with Angie several times, and she has been very accommodating and kind; she's a good listener. She addressed all my sister's questions and took all the time that we needed. She's been very supportive. Their dining area was in excellent condition. The rooms were spacious with a walk-in closet, a full kitchen, and there's a door that leads out onto a patio because they can have their own private patio. They regularly do activities. They're taking anyone who wants to go to Rendleman Orchards, and as the peaches come in they'd have peach cobbler and peach ice cream. A lot of the seniors like to do that, so they have regular activities."

"My mom is at Liberty Village of Marion in Parkway Manor Skilled Nursing. She has been there for six weeks now. They're helping her with physical therapy, bathing, getting dressed, they're cooking their meals, and doing laundry. When it turned cold before I got down there to bring her some warmer clothes, they provided her with a lot of clothes. Residents may have their own cell phones in the room. They have wheelchairs and they have a doctor coming in once a week. They have arts and crafts and bingo activities. A lady comes in and gets their nails done and paints them if they want. All the residents say they like the food there. I was there with my mom for lunch a couple of times, and they had good stuff. She had lasagna, broccoli, and bread roll. Another person didn't want that, and they made her a salad with eggs, ham, lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. They looked good. Some older people were eating cheeseburgers and hot dogs. They could choose food; it's not just handed to them. They have a little menu. They have snacks, coffee, and water. When I visited my mom who was sitting with some of the other residents, some of the skilled workers sat at tables and talked with them. "

"Heritage Woods of Benton is wonderful, and I love it. The staff is very friendly and supportive, and the food is excellent. My room here is very good and everything is great. I think it's wonderful here. I have only been in my apartment since I got here, because of the virus, but they have a nice little restaurant where we have lunch."

"A group from Active Day came to the stables for a visit/field trip. They were excited and pleased to be able to brush a horse, have their picture taken with a horse. They enjoyed telling stories about their horses or experiences with horses. Of course, being outside on a beautiful day, enjoying a picnic lunch overlooking the pasture full of horses, can't get better than that! The staff was attentive, kind and caring in making this happen."

"My mom moved into Fairview Nursing Center. It's been pretty good. She's had some issues with health and stuff, but they've been on top of it, and I'm very pleased with how they're taking care of her. It's an older building, but they have been doing some updates. The facility is safe and the whole environment is a good one. It's a very loving environment. I've only eaten there one time myself, and it's very nice. They have a good selection, and my mom enjoys it. The cooks are very well trained, and they do a really good job of meeting all the people's dietary requirements. The staff has been very nice and very caring. They are very capable people."

" NO Star. The said they would take my brother I done all the paper work one evening the next day they called and told me that they couldn't because he would cost to much to take care of him. She told me to stop giving him chemotherapy treatment then they would take him. She wanted him to give up so they could make money off of him. There is no way I will put him there. She should have not told me that. "

"The Landings at Reed Station Crossing seemed like they had their act together. I was impressed that it was clean and they seemed to have good personnel and a fair amount of service for the amount of money. They had games set up somewhere and it looked like they had several decent activities. The apartment they showed me was the right size. It wasn't really cramped. It wasn't also a tremendous amount of room, but it was just adequate, enough to be comfortable. It wouldn't be like a studio apartment where you got everything on top of each other. It was like a separate bedroom. The people I met there seemed to know what they were doing. I wasn't there long enough to get a whole lot of evaluation, but it was enough for me to see that they were better than some of the other places I looked at."

"My parents are in Sunshine Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care. They were in another facility, but they were raising their rate. They decided that they needed to find a place within their income. We took them to Sunshine Gardens and they liked it. I like the staff. They treat my mom and dad well. Right now, they're in a temporary apartment and it's nice. They've got a refrigerator and a microwave. The atmosphere is nice and homey. They play bingo and they have a band come in every Friday night and my parents like that. They're close to a Huddle House, a Cracker Barrel, and The Hideout, which is a steak restaurant. There are gas stations nearby. Just right down around the corner are strip malls and stuff like that. The dining area is huge. They share that with the activities and they have a little seating area where they can go and sit and watch people come and go. They've got a big fountain or something in the middle. They have nice padded benches they can sit around and there's a swing in there. I think they have enough to eat. My dad got two helpings of fried shrimp. He was happy about that. Mostly in the summertime, they do movies, they put up a screen and they go outside, like in the courtyard, and they have cookouts and watch movies out there. They keep my parents busy. It wears them out."

"Received my first meal today. Very delicious and filling. Thank you for blessing me as I can seldom get out due to mobility difficulties. "
