The Best Nursing Home Communities in Clinton County, IL

"Cedar Ridge is by far the best. My husband is a resident of the facility. Making the decision to place my husband in a facility was heartbreaking. The staff was incredibly caring, loving, patient and kind making the transition smooth. We now have an extended family. He has now settled in, and is thriving. Cedar Ridge is the very base "

"My husband is at Terrace on The Park. So far everything has been very good. People are very friendly and nice. The food is good. The only problem I have is that it is not in the town where I live, and it takes me 25 minutes to get there. It’s an old facility, but it seems to be good. They have a lot of activities, but he does not participate in most of them. They have bingo, entertainment every week, and ice cream socials in the afternoon. They seemed to be pretty good about their activities. I would really enjoy those for my husband if he can participate. "

"They don't send me information on upcoming events. They ask me to schedule my mother for appointments and ask me to take her. I work 40 hours a week. It is very difficult for me to get off work. The change over is very high. The facility is an hour away. I go at least once a month to visit my mother, and always on the weekends. The staff makes comments such as, well hasn't it been a long time since you've been here. "

"I visited a friend at Hitz and was surprised at how spacious the rooms are. I decided to stay and have lunch with my friend and it was actually a pretty good meal. Staff was very helpful and nice. I left when Bingo started seemed like everyone enjoys bingo, there was several smiling faces. "

"My husband is in Alhambra Care Center. The staff has been very nice. The food looks good. It isn't up-to-date like the other ones. It's kind of old. They've got him on all the medicines exactly like his other neurologists had him on. They have a dining area. Out in the front, they have an area that they can go outside. I thought the price was more than it should be."

"I had family members who stayed at Fireside House of Centralia. They have a good rehab there. The grounds are fair. The patients can go outside and walk around and they don't have to worry about cars or anything. The rooms are clean. They have a pretty good staff. If you have a patient in the nursing home, you can go in and have parties and they help with the food and stuff. They encourage people to go in and do that. Their service is good. If the patients can't walk, they help them to and from the bathroom and they also get them dressed. If they're having trouble eating, they feed them. They just take care of them better. They have games, they bring people in to play music, and they have entertainment. They just get to do more things. The food is good. People seem to like it."

"My great grandmother was in an assisted living facility for several years and I visited her many times during that period. The staff was very courteous and attentive. They took the time to get to know each and every person in the facility and attempted to suit daily activities to each person's needs as well as their likes and dislikes in order to provide a more comfortable experience. The d̩cor in the facility was drab and dull. The walls were off white and the rest of the place was brown which lead to a very boring effect. I thought the facility and its members would benefit from having more color and livelihood, perhaps more plants. The amenities provided for each person was excellent. Members were able to receive cable television in their rooms, if they so desired. Also, the facility had weekly games/activities for people to participate in, if they could. Most importantly, all members were receiving the proper level of care and medication necessary for them. Overall, my impression of this facility was quite good. The staff was extremely courteous and knowledgeable, which lead to a pleasant experience for me and for the facility's members. "

"The rooms were very spacious clean and plenty of room for personal things. Everyone from the front desk to the memory lane section were the best I have ever meet During my moms stay she was cared for personally by all of them. They took such good care of her I never worried about her The workers became very good friends to me and my sister. We still go back to visit them. Also they did all kind of activities for the patients which they all enjoyed"

"The rooms are average for a nursing/rehab facility. The layout is sensible with patients with like conditions/status grouped together. The staff is amazing! Most have been here long term which provides a very stable environment. They are kind, caring and attentive. Since mom has been here (broke her hip and she has dementia) they have had care plan meetings with our family and the care team. My dad religiously sits with her at each meal. The food is institutional, similar to the hot meals provided in school. Not great, somewhat appetizing and they have quite a variety. We have also stopped in at times when no one has been expecting us and mom has been under good care. She isn’t “parked” in a bed all day. They have given her showers, washed her hair and everyday they dress her in clean clothes. While we wish we were able to meet her needs at home, we are grateful to the staff at Centralia Manor for taking care of her in such a kind, supportive and safe environment. For an institution, I don’t think you could ask for much more."

"My parents are residents. I've found most of the staff very friendly and helpful. No nursing home is a perfect setting, but they provide good care. "

"This facility has changed to Mercy Rehab. We had a very good experience there. Definitely the cleanest facility in the area and we looked at several before placing our mother here. She got excellent care and was able to go back home after rehab. Would highly recommend. Thank you Mercy staff!"

"My cousin will be moving into Eden Village Retirement Center. Square footage-wise, it was the largest in the price range. My cousin can either buy meals individually or switch to the meal plan. She's starting in independent care. If she reaches a point where she needs assisted living, they will provide it to her in her apartment, so she doesn't have to move into the assisted living section. And then there's also a skilled nursing facility on the same campus. They're remodeling her apartment. It's being repainted, getting new flooring, new light fixtures, and new appliances. They have a variety of programs. They provide transportation for seniors if they need to go anywhere. They have a beauty shop and an exercise room in their facility. They have game rooms and a library. My cousin has a full kitchen that includes a stove, a full-sized refrigerator, and a microwave. It's got a nice courtyard view. There's a fountain, some lovely trees, and walking paths."

"Good care, caring staff"

"Midwest Rehab does not have a good reputation. They do take mental health patients, and that is hard to find in the area, so they are used. It is a really old facility as well. "
