Communities in Edwardsville, IL

"I saw both the independent and assisted living of St. Paul's Senior Community. I had a very good experience with the place. I liked them, but I would say the independent living rooms were maybe a little small. However, they were doing upgrades and refurbishment on everything. The facility looked really good. The marketing guy spent a lot of time talking to me. I was also there years ago when my grandmother was there, and it's much improved now. It's got a new building, refurbished rooms, and beautiful trees in the surrounding area. I have no problems with the physical appearance. There were a couple of residents sitting outside the doors and each of them had different kinds of activities and so forth."

"My mother is currently stauing at Rosewood. I am very impressed with this facility. First of all, it smells nice. Secondly they treat my mother like a person. They are very caring and considerate. If they are not doing something I think they should be doing, I just mention it and they take care of it. Everyone is very nice and respectable. I would recommend this facility to anyone. Thanks for all you do Rosewood! "

"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."

"I visited Meridian Village. The people were very patient. The lady that showed us around was very nice, but when I sat down and looked at their price structure, I shut down. I didn't pay attention anymore. I didn't think it was as clean as the other place I visited. Nothing was dirty, but it just wasn’t as clean, like the carpet, that probably needs to be replaced. I mean, there were just little things like that. But being honest, I had to shut down because I knew I didn't like it. The price was way too expensive. The one thing that I did, when I was going through this, I looked at some of their apartments, and they were nice enough; nothing special, but they were nice enough. When we came back and they were going to go for a two-bedroom unit, I told my daughter, "I'm going to sit down because I was done." At that point, I knew I was not interested in this place. They went on, and my daughter likes this place, but they agree with me that they thought it was way out of price range. There was a meal going on while we were there. They did offer us to have a meal there, but we had already eaten lunch, and I was not interested. They have a lot of exercise equipment and that kind of thing, but I didn't see anybody doing that. There was another room where there were some people playing cards, but beyond that, I didn't really notice anything. But a lot of that is my fault because I'd already ruled it out. The only person I dealt with was the administrator there that took us on the tour, and she was very nice. I was not impressed with the facility. I think they need to look at their price structure, it's way too expensive."

"My dad moved to Liberty Village of Maryville, he's in their memory care unit. I have not been in except to sign papers but so far, we've been very pleased. It seems like he's coming around a little bit, he's starting to walk a little bit when he wouldn't even walk before. So far, so good. The staff is friendly and they're willing to work with my dad, get him what he needs and I've been very pleased. They had visitations, my brother was actually able to go in and visit, but they got a positive case and so they had to stop it for 2 weeks. They said they should start it after that. He's staying in a shared room. I didn't do a tour or anything because of the COVID so I'm not sure exactly what they have going on right now but I know that they get them out and move around. Before he was just sitting in his room doing nothing. I was only able to go as far as the office to sign papers but from what I could see, everything looked nice, clean, and well-kept. I had to wear a mask to come in, they're very cautious about this whole COVID thing."
