The Best Memory Care Communities in Mercer County, IL

"Lighthouse at Silvis was a nice but very expensive place. I saw a 1-bedroom with a stove and a refrigerator, and it was all furnished. I know they serve meals, and there's a nurse on duty all the time. The place was very clean and very well kept up. "

"Park Vista is probably the best. It is favored by myself and my brothers. We had a good interaction with the staff members. The dining area is very nice. Activities are standard-like but they are the ones that keep the residents active and keep them from going outside the place. The place is very clean, too."

"The first facility that I saw was Garner Farms at Silver Crest. They answered my questions, and they were very open about the expected costs. It was very satisfactory and it was a very good option. I was offered to eat the food, but I chose not to. "

"I am a younger person here. I just moved in but find the staff to be excellent! Everyone is friendly. I love the atmosphere and activities; yet you have your own time in your apartment. Very comfortable and enjoyable."

"I am a friend of one of the seniors living in the facility. It seems like a wonderful place to live. The staff is always friendly and helps when needed. I enjoyed coming to the happy hour they have every friday afternoon. The activities and atmosphere of the facility is somewhere I would want to be when I retire! "

"The dining area at Lutheran Senior Living was nice, but I wasn't quite as impressed with the rooms. The staff were nice enough, but I had a little bit of a hard time getting them to call me back. Also, there was a light that went off and nobody seemed to be making any attempts to go see what was wrong. Everything looked a lot more like a hospital than an apartment. It was clean, but it just didn't feel warm and homey."

"I have chosen them for my mother. The main thing for us is they seem to care for the residents and the workers seem happy to be there. The other place we toured had different, weird, unique names to it so I don't even know what they are, but here the dishes are simpler and easier to understand. According to my mom, the food is good and a lot better than the other place. The facility is very clean and open. The rooms are bigger than the biggest rooms I've seen in the other facilities that we looked at, and they're nicer and clear. They do plenty of activities but they don't push anybody to do them. They have sewing classes and trips that they take, like for ice cream, to go out to Walmart and they'd go out to eat, once they went for pizza. They're going to start a gardening club if they haven't already, they're always doing parties like recently they had a party for the Kentucky Derby. They make a big deal out of birthdays."

"I toured Bickford of Davenport. The place was small but very clean. The tour guide was very good. They showed the rooms and the eating and meeting rooms."

"Beautiful and clean facility with great food.Each and every member of the Kahl Home team – nursing, dietary, custodial, activities, office and physical therapy – treated my mom with the utmost of kindness, good humor, and at times, unlimited patience. I can never praise them enough."

"I've been to The Fountains Retirement Community. It was very nice and very beautiful. The staff was very courteous. They had fitness, theaters, cards, puzzles, and a library. The rooms were very nice. They had a couple of dining rooms. They were nice, clean, and pretty."

"The rooms at Grand Haven were excellent. The staff were great. There were less men. I previewed the memory care unit, and they were just eating at a table, so I was not so impressed with the memory care unit. But other than that, it was 5-star. I would like to see a little more interaction on the memory care unit than what I saw, but I guess it was just the timing of my visit. "
