The Best Memory Care Communities in Tazewell County, IL

"My mom was at Grand View Alzheimer's Special Care Center and then she passed away. They had activities. They tried to encourage her to participate. She did very little, but they tried. She would not have if they had not tried, so I was very pleased with that. The nurses were phenomenal. The director was very helpful. We had several questions. She took time for us and explained everything. Quite frankly, we were very pleased. My mom was there for two weeks and then she was in the hospital for two weeks. It wasn't a big, long stay, but we did have a time when we were very close with the staff there. I tried their food because I was there at a time when she was finishing up her lunch, and then she was going to go into an activity. She always said this food is wonderful. That itself was very good for me."

"My visit to Bickford of Peoria was wonderful. It's a clean facility, they had a nice place to eat and nice areas to sit and have conversations, and the apartment sizes were pretty good for what my parents needed. The staff did an excellent job. We sampled the food, it was very nice so my mom and dad were both happy. Everything about the rooms looked relatively new, kept up, and in good shape, and so were the grounds."

"Heartis Village of Peoria was beautiful. The people seemed very happy there, but it didn't have the level of care my dad needs. It's fairly new and lovely. The director was very nice and very kind. She said even if we didn't choose Heartis, she was willing to help us in any way she could with another place or even trying to get in-home care. They're very helpful. They showed us a room that was not furnished, but was carpeted. The bathroom was very nice. The shower was the same level. It's a nice sized room, but you had to bring your own furniture. The lobby area and their community area were very nice. I don't think there was one big dining room. There was a dining area for each hallway, so it was more of like family style. There were just a few small tables, but they were spacious. It was landscaped beautifully outside, and there were views of outside from many of the windows. It's very lovely."

"Evergreen Place is very nice and well-equipped, it's in a beautiful area, and the rooms are really nice. The place was also equipped for people that are handicapped and the staff is always there to assist them. The food is fine, and our experience with the staff is very good; they have excellent staff members. They play cards and they have other activities for the residents. The facilities are very nice. It's only three-years-old, so the building is beautiful."

"My mom has moved into Morton Reflections Memory Care. The facility is fairly new. It was built in 2018. It looks like a little community inside. It looks a little cottagey; it looks very warm, very homey, and very inviting. The staff is excellent. I haven't observed any activities. They actually focus on their interests, and they are able to get them to participate in whatever things like gardening or things that they like to do. They are very specific to the individual, so they try to work with them on that to keep them active. I have not tried the food, but my mom says it's not too bad. It was not the least expensive. For the amenities and the facility itself, it is the most affordable. You get more for your money in my opinion."

"We're moving into Liberty Village of Pekin. The other place's price is $3,400 and it's $2,800 for the very same thing, so that's a big difference. The floorplans are about equal, too. The staff member who took me around was very knowledgeable, and she has been there for a few years, and so she knows what's going on. They got excellent food. It's very kept up. They supply the appliances. They have refrigerators and stoves. Everything is in here. They have a pool. The pool is closed because of COVID reasons and so on, but they have outdoor spaces and patios."
