Memory Care Communities in Decatur, IL

"The Carriage Crossing of Decatur was very clean. The staff was very friendly. Everybody seemed to be in very good spirits. The people that I saw weren't upset or angry. Everybody looked clean and taken care of. It was a very good facility. For amenities, they offer four main dishes, but then there's always the option in case you don't like something. If the person cannot get out of their room, they make sure that they have whatever meal delivered to their suite. There is a spa there for hydrotherapy, a salon, and they do monthly field trips for those who can. They also have entertainment brought in weekly to interact with the people living there. They're on top of their game. They're very good."

"My mom chose Lincolnshire Place Decatur. They're doing a nice job with her. They keep the place very orderly and it's a nice place compared to a lot of places I've seen. The staff is very friendly and nice. She's getting physical therapy and occupational therapy, which has been very helpful. When she got there, she couldn't do much on her own. And now, she's walking with a walker and getting dressed on her own. But if you're diabetic, you don't belong there because all they want to feed you with is carbs, and that's the one point there I don't care for. Mom has a private room and it is nice, but she's mostly out in the general area where everybody's at. They have a lot of sitting areas and televisions. There are a couple of different locations where you can watch television and they have group activities. It's locked units and you have to have a code to get in and out of the building. So, it's pretty secure. They have a couple of residents who get out of the unit once in a while, but they've never gotten out of the building."

"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."

"My parents were previous residents at Randall Residence. This community is clean, friendly and everyone who lives there is very well taken care of. The staff genuinely cares for them, and their families. The nursing staff are kind, empathetic and genuine and give the best care. We lost my parents, but the fact that they allowed Hospice and that they could stay at Randall until the end gave the entire family comfort and peace. Do not look any further if you are looking for a place for your parents, or loved ones. You will not find one better than Randall Residence. "

"Life's Journey is very gracious. They have answered all my questions and have been very nice. The facility has just been rebuilt. It has nice, spacious rooms for the patients, and each patient has his or her own room, as I understand it. My wife is living here. "
