Presbyterian Homes of Bloomington

I would like for people to know how incompetent one of your social workers is. Her name is "Allison". I would suggest people stay away from her. she called me and asked me to join in on a meeting they were having with my sister. At the time I was having some business done at my home and could not take the call. If she was having this meeting she should have asked ahead of time if this was a convenient time for me. We decided to have the meeting (on the phone) the following day. She was 10 mins late as we all waited for her and she made no apology. I also had some business with my sister in the nursing home that needed 2 witnesses and a notary republic. She agreed to have this arranged for me....as it turned out she was a "no show". I live out of town and it turned out to be a trip to the nursing home for nothing. I would not recommend this lady to anyone.

My sister is currently living in the independent living section of Presbyterian Homes of Bloomington and it's a lateral move to assisted living. She's familiar with the facility. I like the price point. It was a nice apartment with a nice patio onto a courtyard. A well-maintained facility. The building manager was very attentive to the needs, and problems, and pointed out that they had their eyes on her. So, that's why we were moving her to assisted living based on some of the things that they were observing and we were observing as well. For the food, there are several different options. My sister likes to cook but she did take advantage of both. They have a small bistro there, and then they can also just get an evening or a lunch meal, and just get it built to their apartment. They have a pool, which she loves, so that's the big thing that she's been utilizing the most.

We toured Presbyterian Homes of Bloomington. The experience was great. David, one of the representatives who took us around. My nephew came with me and I have COPD. He had a wheelchair available, so I had less walking around. The only place we didn't see was the dining room because they had a couple of cases of COVID, so they had that closed up. He took us around the facility which is done nicely. I liked the apartment that he showed me. It's not too big, very airy, sunny, and spacious. The one I saw overlooked a beautiful courtyard. The apartments are very pleasant. Each unit has stainless steel appliances, dishwashers, and a washer and dryer. It's a great place. They have different rooms like a craft room, and a woodworking shop if some of the men are interested. They have bingo night. They have a movie night. There's a cafe that you can go in. There's a general store where you can purchase some grocery items or whatever you might need, and it has a lot to offer.

My sister is at Presbyterian Homes of Bloomington and I was very pleased that I was always allowed access to her when I visited. She is in memory care and I thought that they took good care of the COVID situation and certainly protected her. Her husband is also in the facility, but on another floor. I've had a positive experience there. I thought they were always prompt in returning my phone calls whenever I needed to communicate with them. I've seen them preparing the food and they were careful about it.

The Presbyterian Homes of Bloomington facility was older and needed a lot of updates. We were not impressed with the facility as much as a bunch of the other ones. The staff was very nice and the people, it was 1980s type decor and it was dark. It's just not as nice, and it needed some help, needed some work as far as I'm concerned. They had a chapel, they had all the amenities, the food and all that kind of stuff was there. It had everything, it was just a little bit older. The bigger thing was they still hadn't opened up their cafeteria from a COVID perspective. So they were woefully behind everybody else, as far as getting people up and going, and having things available to people. They didn't really have meals because you couldn't go in the cafeteria. They had food, but they brought it to your room.

My father is at Presbyterian Homes of Bloomington. It's got all levels of care from independent living all the way up through memory care and long-term care. It's a nice facility from that standpoint. Before the COVID lockdown they had lots of activities, life enrichment, shared dining, social activities, sing alongs, movies, and lots of different things that you could choose from. When they locked down and visitors weren't allowed, it got to be a real challenge for us.
