Memory Care Communities in Edwardsville, IL

"I would give Clarendale Clayton a five. It has a very high-scale lobby, it's a new building, and it's a convenient location. Matt, who gave me a tour, and everything was lovely. I really don't have anything negative to say. It was just at a higher price point. Matt was very knowledgeable and empathetic to such a sad thing that I have to put someone in memory care."

"Charter Senior Living of St. Louis Hills gave a great tour. Their building is a little older than the other facility, but it's well-maintained. They seemed to have everything in line. The rooms are nice. If you want to have dinner with your family, you can have that, and they have a dining room for that. I was impressed with them. They had two people that toured me. One of those people used to be the supervisor of another facility. Now she's a supervisor over at Charter. Charter Senior Living was fine. I had no problem about moving there, except that it was father down for me to drive every day to visit. I did not try the food, but it smelled good. I was there at 11:00 at both times with my sister-in-law and it smelled good. They were very interested in getting my wife into that group that I had a hard time telling them, "There's nothing against you guys. You guys did a great job at the tour.""

"Promenade Senior Living was very nice, but it was probably $1500 to $2000 more than the other place. It's a high rise. You walk in and it's beautiful, but it's dark, has an oppressive feeling, and is sterile. The staff was polite. Before I went to the other place, Promenade was my top choice. My interaction with the front desk was minimal, but the lady who did the tour was great."

"I can't imagine a better place than this! It is a very nice facility, with gracious and warm staff. The memory floor has full access to all activities and places that are associated with the assisted living facility. It is in a vibrant neighborhood, where people can go on walks to neighborhood venues. I feel so fortunate to have found this place for my father to live and be cared for. "

"My mom went to Autumn View Gardens for five days. It's a new facility, just about eight years. The thing I like about this facility are the hallways; they are wide. The place was certainly brighter because they had bigger windows. The decor is updated. The staff were very nice and very helpful. They were very attentive to all of her needs. She enjoyed her time there. She said the food was good. The rooms were very nice, very new, and updated. It's a very nice facility. "

"I went to Reflections at Garden Place. It was a very, very good place. I like the person I interviewed with. She was great. I like the fact that there were only 19 people there. But the bad part was that my husband would have to be able to walk with one person assisting him with his walker 45 feet, which he couldn't do. That was the only drawback. The staff was very, very sweet. They were very consistent about saying hello and saying what they did. I like the staff. They were good. It was a ranch-style facility with only two hallways. The dining room and living room were in the entranceway. The cleanliness was great. They had an activity room in the back. Overall, it was clean. It's not as modern as the one my husband is at now, but it was well. And the furniture they had was great, too. They had different-sized rooms and the furniture was great in those rooms and a large bathroom."

"In the last 12 months Town & Country Senior Living, has had: 2 Executive Directors, 4 Director of Wellness, High turnover of staff, Unable to get direct email for staff (had to go through main line), Poor communication between residents, staff, family and in house doctor, less than a year it has changed ownership again."

"My mom was a resident of Stillwater Senior Living. It was very clean and the staff was very pleasant. I enjoyed the outside. It had beautiful landscaping, and it was a nice environment to visit. It was nice to be outside. She didn't like the food. She liked it at first, but then later on she didn't. I don't know what her problem was. The rooms were nice. They were kept clean and they had occupational therapy. They have meeting rooms, libraries, and a chapel. They've had many more activities than what I've witnessed at other places. Everything seems kind of too expensive nowadays. It seems like for what you pay, you should get a whole lot more, but it's worse than lots of other places, so I can't complain."

"The San Gabriel Memory Care in Glen Carbon is a very clean and fairly well-run place. They communicate with me quite often. The staff is very, very friendly and some of them are very outgoing as far as with my mother, personally. They have all kinds of activities but she doesn't care to do any of them. They have sing-alongs, they play bowling, and they have arts and crafts. They're usually doing something, but she doesn't care to participate. With the food, I wish they could be a little more specialized, as far as each person's likes and dislikes. Other than that, the food's okay. I would say, I feel more comfortable there than in a lot of places around."

"It was my preferred place, but they wouldn't take my brother because of the medication he's on. It's very nice and very well kept up. The people are friendly and helpful. The grounds and the interior are both in good shape. They keep it up very well. The staff during the tour was helpful. We've had different relatives that have stayed there in the past, and the food was good and the care was good. Everything was fine."

"Brightly Senior Living - Glen Carbon has very roomy two-bedroom, two-bath apartments, which is what we would prefer to find. The downside there was the menu. I have high cholesterol that I have to keep down with medication and diet, and I found their menu did not adhere to a low-fat diet. Maybe my low-fat diet is more extreme than usual, but regardless, it has to fit both my sister and me. We both have pets, and we would like to take them with us, but Brightly wanted a $750 deposit, plus they wanted a fee of $150 a month per pet, and I have two pets. That policy is nowhere competitive with the other places that we are looking at. In the independent apartments, there is no stove and no microwave. You have to supply your own microwave. The lack of a kitchen range kind of did it for me. That was the big reason that Brightly was eliminated from the competition. The staff was excellent, very friendly, and answered all our questions. They showed us all of the facility that we were interested in seeing. I would rate them highly. The menu was just a disappointment to me. The choices were very limited, and I didn't think that they were low-fat either. The facility was good. The residents we spoke to seemed to be happy where they were. I didn't hear any complaints from them, but I was limited in how many I spoke to. We were touring with one of the employees, so if they had any dissatisfaction, they might be hesitant to mention it in front of her. I only saw parking around the front part of the building. I didn't see that it was crowded as far as the ability to park, but that could be a disadvantage if your residence was on the back side and you had to walk around the building to get to your car. If you have difficulty walking, that may be a problem for you."

"My dad moved to Liberty Village of Maryville, he's in their memory care unit. I have not been in except to sign papers but so far, we've been very pleased. It seems like he's coming around a little bit, he's starting to walk a little bit when he wouldn't even walk before. So far, so good. The staff is friendly and they're willing to work with my dad, get him what he needs and I've been very pleased. They had visitations, my brother was actually able to go in and visit, but they got a positive case and so they had to stop it for 2 weeks. They said they should start it after that. He's staying in a shared room. I didn't do a tour or anything because of the COVID so I'm not sure exactly what they have going on right now but I know that they get them out and move around. Before he was just sitting in his room doing nothing. I was only able to go as far as the office to sign papers but from what I could see, everything looked nice, clean, and well-kept. I had to wear a mask to come in, they're very cautious about this whole COVID thing."

"Aspen Creek was a very good and smaller facility, which is what we were looking for. We put my mother on their waiting list. I would have moved her there if they had an opening. It is a home, basically, with a front door, a front patio, a family room, and a kitchen area. It is small, with only 14 residents and is very homey. They have everything, like laundry, three meals a day, and basic memory care."
