Nursing Home Communities in Eureka, IL

"Everybody was friendly and helpful. Facility was clean. Food and dining choices were good."

"I have visited Morton Terrace on numerous occasions, both as a visitor to my now-deceased great grandmother and to perform piano music for the residents. In both visits, I have nothing but positive things to say. When my great grandma was a resident here, she was treated with the utmost respect by the staff, fed great meals, and was pleased with the service up until she died peacefully in her sleep. As a musical performer on the piano, I have always felt very appreciated by the staff and residents. Preparation is always done ahead of time when the staff is notified. Although it has been a Christmas or two since I last had a chance to play, I can still recall how much the residents enjoyed the music. Allowing music to be played in the main room is, in my opinion, a great service to the residents. A nursing home is sometimes a difficult place to keep spirits up, but the staff here, in my experience, did their best to create a happy, peaceful place for the residents to enjoy the remainder of their lives in relaxation and dignity. A five-star nursing home for sure. "

"My wife is at Arcadia Care at Morton for rehab. They're all good people. They listen and provide what they can. It's in good shape. She's in a one bedroom and she got everything in there. The food is pretty appetizing, a three-course meal. Sometimes she doesn't like the stuff that she got. I don't know how they determine the meals or anything like that, but for the most part, they are pretty good. The facility is not currently good, but mostly good. She gets therapy and help in the shower."

"My mother in law has been at Heritage for 6months and we are impressed with how she has been well taken care of. The Alzeimers care has especially been good with regular activities and creating a more home like atmosphere. "

"El Paso nursing home is a very nice and well appointed place to stay. The rooms are very clean and they have maids clean the place daily. The rooms are fairly spacious and you can have a t.v. or internet if you choose. There are many activities you can do there from ordering out from Mcdonalds to playing video games. In addition you can order out from many other good restaurants for dinner every night at 5:00 p.m. The food there is actually pretty good. They have a healthy menu and you can get doubles on your tray if you get a doctor's order. You also can smoke there if you want to. There are smoke breaks frequently throughout the day where you get to go outside into a nice patio area and smoke. You can also play basketball or join one of the many groups they have available. There is a full nursing staff there and you get to visit with a doctor monthly. They will help you take your medications and make sure your are in good shape. There is also a nice den area where you can watch t.v. The people there are nice and you can find good friends to associate with. Overall this is a very good establishment if you are looking for a nursing home in Illinois. "

"This facility is now Cornerstone. It is absolutely horrible, nothing more than a glorified dog kennel. Our family is in the process of moving our loved one to another facility. When it was St. Clare Home we were very happy with the care our loved one was provided but once Peterson Corporation took over they have absolutely run it and the staff into the ground. They have a continual turnover in staff and rely on agency help, who don't even know the residents' names. A truly sad situation. "

"ATTENTION Do not put your loved ones in this facility. My family had to send my grandmother there and the amount of negligence made my decide to quit my job at a local hospital to take care of her!!!! The staff is rude and very inappropriate "

"Lutheran Hillside Village was the one I liked. They had a dinner-type thing. They had advanced care or recuperating care, too. The people were friendly, and it felt very relaxed. They had a swimming pool, a nice outdoor patio, and a chapel. I thought it was excellent. It's good. The staff were very nice. They invited us for lunch, and it was a very nice lunch. They sat with us and visited. The food was excellent, too. I think we had a salmon meal, and it was a generous portion. It's a nice place. It was very, very clean and spacious. They had a piano that people could play games and all kinds of stuff. They had an option of homes apart from the main building, but you could still go in for meals, and then they had really nice apartments."

"My father is still in rehab at Apostolic Christian Skylines. They have other levels of care, and they have assisted living as well. COVID has put everybody in a different situation, but they are trying very hard to accommodate families so they can visit given the safety guidelines. They are very quick to call me if there are any changes in my dad's condition or care, and having frequent care meetings is very helpful. The staff is friendly, helpful, and caring. My dad has to have a puréed diet, so he's not eating exactly regular food, but he has no complaints. He's fine with it. His room is clean but fairly plain. He's very fortunate because the windows in his room overlook a courtyard that has beautiful plants and flowers, and that part is wonderful. We could decorate it, but I'm not going to do that because I don't know if he's going to stay. They just installed all-new carpet in their activity room. I haven't been in it, but I'm sure it's lovely. I hope that they will do a little something with the rooms. There are different wings and different hallways. When you go into the entryway, there is a front desk, and then there are stairs or an elevator to go up to the second floor. The community or activity room is upstairs, the different hallways go off of that, and the dining room is upstairs off of the community room or activity room. They could update the rooms a little bit."

"I toured Accolade Healthcare of Peoria. It was clean. It smelled good. There were no nasty odors or anything. The staff was very nice and very helpful. The room size was good. They're not too big. They're not too small. Everybody was friendly, nice, and had a lot of information for me, so that's good."

"My mom moved to Arc at Chillicothe. She had been there before. It was clean, very friendly, and very hospitable. They do bingo and crafts. They do all kinds of stuff. They have a beauty shop and a nail salon. They have people come in, sing, and dance. If she needs to go somewhere, they take her where she needs to go. The staff works with you and keeps in touch."

"They seem to really care about the residents at the home. "

"Heritage Manor was in the town my mother-in-law was living in. And it's also where most of her friends and her relatives live that would come to visit her. But it wasn't close to us. It was 5 hours away. The place was very nice. It was newly remodeled and the people were extremely friendly. Everybody was doing their job. We had a flurry of people around us when we moved her in. They were just very helpful and very nice. They encouraged her to get up and get walking. She liked the food. I was really impressed with it, especially since it's in a small town. But everything went so fast. Three days later she was back in the hospital where she died. "

"My sister is now in Rosewood Care Center. I feel that she is getting an excellent care. They are on top on every single problem that occurs. Yesterday, they had a 60-day care plan meeting, and since I live up here in Chicago area, I am on speakerphone, so I am part of the meeting. I think I the staff and the facility are excellent. They have a lot of activities. My sister only goes once in a great while, not often, but when she does, she tells me she has a wonderful time. They have bingo. She tells me she is stringing Cheerios and Fruit Loops on this little wired thing, and they are going to put them out for the birds, because for each room, they have a bird feeder, so they can watch the birds. She likes doing that. She says she is doing it with some music playing. They are talking about the music. They have a party -- I think she calls it a Halloween Party -- but it is after dinner last Friday. From what I understand from the CNAs, she participates in singing. They have a van that will take her to any kind of doctor's appointment. My sister is in a wheelchair and has had a stroke, so her whole left side is affected. Then, she falls and breaks her arm in two places, so she is not really mobile. My sister-in-law will prefer her to go in the van, and then my sister-in-law drives and meets her at the doctors. Then, they put her back to the van and bring her back to Rosewood. They have a podiatrist that comes in once a month. She is very happy there. "
