"I toured Amber Glen Alzheimer's Special Care Center for my mother, and the people who gave the tour were exceptionally kind and very detailed. They took a lot of time to answer my questions and walked me all around the place. The rooms were very nice, and I especially liked that they had separate dining and activity rooms, depending on the level of Dementia. We were also able to pass by their dining area, and it was very clean and well-organized. I was very impressed with it, and I would have loved for my mom to go there, but she did not qualify because of her transfer status. However, they made every effort to give me other ideas and suggestions and help me out, even though it wasn't going to work for our situation. I would highly recommend them."

"Brookdale Urbana was fantastic. I would have gone there in a heartbeat. It was great. It's just they didn't think my husband was ready for what they've got going. They thought he was farther along in his Alzheimer's and what their patients were. But they were very nice and I don't have any complaints. I would give them a great rating because their place is beautiful. The community was beautiful. It looked like a nice quiet updated community. The building itself was beautiful. Even on the inside, there are different places for different people. There are places where they eat. And outside their door, they have a place where if you were in the Army, you could have a few things in there with your picture to show that you were an Army vet. A lot of the patients I saw walked around with a walker, but they seemed to talk more than my husband did. I was impressed with their cleanliness and the kind of people that were there. They were dressed the same as we are, so that's normal. I was kind of disappointed, but it is a little pricey for my range anyway so that just made me not be so mad about not getting in there. It is a huge place, so I'm not sure that would have been such a good idea anyway, because my husband is used to more homelike things. It was pretty and everything looked well taken care of. The carpets were clean, and the windows were clean, you could see out of them. I was just impressed with the cleanliness and the friendliness of the other patients as I was walking through. The girl that I talked to was great. She was very informative and very gentle. The people were very kind and considerate. They were excellent, too, and it showed that they liked their job."

"We moved into Bridle Brook Assisted Living because it's closer to where our family doctor is. It's just as nice as all the other places that we visited. The rooms are reasonable size, very clean, and freshly painted. The lighting fixtures are very nice. The staff members seem also very helpful and supportive. Amenities include cleaning up your apartment once a week, laundry once a week if you want, and three meals a day. They have activities scheduled every day. I think there's a shuttle bus that will take people to Champaign. The food is excellent. The facility is lovely. Value for money is fair and reasonable when compared with other facilities offering the same quality of care."

Our Why is to help people in a home-like setting. Our Mission is to provide Person-Centered Care for the residents and families we serve. Our Passion is to glorify God in all we do. Our residents love the outdoors so much that our community has been designed to resemble main street with a flagstone street surrounding our large center room. Our activity center has store fronts with awnings, street lights, sconces, and trees. The ceilings look like the sky, blue with white clouds. The hallway (street) behind the storage closet wall is used for activities such as bowling, ring toss, lawn darts, beanbag toss, washer toss, Frisbee throw, etc. Seasons are represented as the winter evergreens become flowering spring and summer trees, and then colorful autumn maple trees for fall. We want our residents to enjoy seasonal changes inside and out. The owners of Arbor Rose believe so much in the advantages of having our residents as active as possible. We have seen improvement in mental and physical conditions and overall enjoyment of life when our residents have been engaged in fun and interesting activities.

"We're moving mom to Arbor Rose of Monticello. I know people who work there, and I've heard good things from people that have had family members there with Alzheimer's. We've already visited, signed the contract, and we're moving her in tomorrow. I was so impressed. I was only able to go into half of the building. I had a smartphone, and they did a virtual tour with it on one-half of the building, and that's for the rehab half. The half that mom is going to be on is beautiful, and has bright colors to help stimulate their minds. They have activities every day. They have exercise every day. They have a very big area, and a hallway that's painted by the owner's daughter, that's very stimulating to the mind. Since they can't go outside with this Covid, they're doing everything possible to keep them stimulated, keep them moving, and keep their minds working instead of sitting there or letting them watch TV. The other half that I took a tour into were the rooms, bedrooms, the common area, everything. The staff answered every single question. They gave me even more information that I didn't know about her being with dementia. They continuously ask, "What is your mom like? What is she not like?" I was very impressed. It's a beautiful facility. They have a cook. Once this Covid thing is over, we can come in every day and eat lunch with her. Once a month, they have a family get-together, and they have a buffet set out so everybody can come in, talk and socialize."

"I really liked it, because it had a small dining area for the residents. The whole facility looked very clean, sharp, and beautiful. The rooms are really nice and they have a beautiful courtyard area. We toured both assisted living and memory care, and it seemed like everybody was friendly towards one another. It's a nice place."

"My mother has moved into Savoy Reflections. I love how it doesn't look like a stark nursing home. The common area is in the center of the building, and when you look at everybody's rooms, they all face this common area, and they all look like little cottages. Each one is decorated like its own little house. It just is homey in there and cheery. It's just not a blank, stark hallway. Everything is included in the price and they have all kinds of amenities. Laundry is included and housekeeping. Giving medications isn't extra. It's just a nice place. They have a salon. They don't have a whole room that's a library, but they have books available."

"My friend moved into Rantoul Villas and Reflections. She's loving it there. She's a very shy, keep to yourself kind of person, but she's out watching movies and doing tai chi; it's wonderful. It's very clean and the food is wonderful. We had a couple of meals with her. I was very impressed, people were sweet, and I liked it a lot. The size and the layout of the apartment is very appropriate for just one person. It's a handicap accessible room with a larger bathroom, and the way the sink is set up she can get underneath with her wheelchair or standing up. They have all kinds of things, they bake, they do crafts, they watch movies, they do tai chi, she has physical therapy, they play cards, they bowl, they have music groups come in, preachers of different sorts come in, they go on outings, and they go out to eat one day. It's high cost, but it's very much worth it, and it's 30 miles closer to home."
