The Best Memory Care Communities in Mercer County, IL

"This facility is really set apart from the others because it is not a huge building, feels very cozy and welcoming. They are very centrally located and made visits very convenient"

"I went to Quartet Senior Living. It was all very nice. The person I met on the tour was very nice. The only thing is with somebody that doesn't have any money, it won't work. But it's a beautiful place if you have savings or a house to sell or a car to put towards that, but she doesn't. But it would be a wonderful place to live. The room would be one where you have to bring your own in. They had a bed and a dresser there, but you have to furnish it yourself. They have a garden area and it's boxed in, so they can't get away. Nobody can leave, but you can see it from all four sides."

"The thing that I liked the best about Avonlea was it was a small community and had what I felt would be what we needed. It had a good location, nice property, and nice rooms. The price was good. They had a TV lounge, receiving area, and meals. "

"I thought the assisted living facility was amazing. The entire building felt very homey and sweet. From the moment I walked into the lobby, I felt like I was in a house rather than some place clinical. They have a big lobby with a fireplace, lots of comfy chairs, and a few radios. The residents seemed to congregate in the lobby's to meet up and talk and they all seemed really comfortable and at home. In the dining area, it felt more like a big dining room instead of a cafeteria. The residents all work with the staff to set the tables for dinner and they get to pick from a small menu that is changed daily. But the best thing about this assisted living home was the staff. They were all very friendly and treated the guests like friends they haven't seen in a while, rather than people they're paid to look after. It was a great experience that I would be happy to have a loved one stay at. "

"We will be moving to Park Vista Retirement Living North Hill. The tour was good, everybody was nice, the place was very clean, and the apartment that we're getting is really nice. The place itself looks really nice and some parts are pretty fancy. We'll be getting a one-bedroom, and when we move in there the meals will be provided twice a day. They have a beauty shop and barber shop, they have amenities, and all kinds of stuff. They have a place to exercise, a library, and what they call a pub. They have lots of different places and things to do there, so it's just nice. The guy that showed us around was very, very nice, and very accommodating. We get a housekeeper every other week, the utilities are included, and all the meals are included."

"I toured the Lutheran Living Senior Campus, and the tour was good. Of all the facilities I toured, it was the best because it was large, very airy, and inviting. They had an area with a stage and a screen where people were coming, and it was big and roomy. They had two-person rooms, shared rooms, or whatever, but the only room we saw was a single room, and it was nice, like a studio apartment with a bathroom. The director of the facility was outstanding. The dining area was fine. It was in the memory care unit, which was locked out from the rest of the facility, so they had their own dining space."
