Nursing Home Communities in Flanagan, IL

"We toured Arc at Streator, and I liked it. It was great. It was clean. I didn't try the food, but my brother was happy with it. The staff was very helpful and kind."

"My mother moved into Parker Nursing and Rehab Center. It seems like they are pretty attentive, but the rooms are not very big. The staff has been pretty good. They seem pretty friendly and everything, and they seem like they care about the residents. When I was sitting there I could see stuff on the floor. The building is old and needs a little bit of updating. It seems like they take care of the residents there. My mother is kind of stubborn, and they try to get her to do stuff, but they don't push her or get nasty or anything."

"We were very pleased with the care my father-in-law received while a resident at the Roanoke A-C home. The staff was caring and friendly and always went above and beyond in their help and care. It is a well-run, clean and neat facility. "

"We found Fairview Haven for my parents. It's just very clean and very nice, the cost is a lot lower than most of the other places. They allow you to age in place, and they also have a nursing home and assisted living under the same roof. They offer housekeeping, three meals a day plus snacks. The independent living has their own dining room. They offer activities, transportation to doctors, to other fun things, and to the grocery store. They do laundry for you, or you can do it yourself, and it's all in one level. They're not there yet, but they will be."

"I thought the cottages were excellent. Clean, very well maintained and a pleasure to visit. Members of the staff would still make rounds to the cottages, but not as frequently as they would at the assisted living facility. Those who lived in the cottages could still drive and the roads were well taken care of and each cottage had a garage. I don't have anything bad to say about the cottages.The assisted living facility was also very nice, but the staff was often hurried and it did have an unpleasant odor to it. I'm sure that's fairly standard for assisted living facilities. "

"The Apostolic Christian Home has a nice atmosphere. It is Christian, so the care is always gentle and spirit-filled. When my husband's grandmother injured herself, she was relocated to the hospital portion, but even then, she was allowed to go back to her independent home after she was better. They have lots of activities for the folks there, including summer outdoor events, planting gardens, fishing (in wheelchairs!!), volunteer work, and animal therapy. There is a chapel there, so church is encouraged, and there is never a shortage of helping hands who are willing to pray for and care for those who need it. The staff there WANT to be there; they genuinely care for those who are not in the best of health as they are. My husband's grandmother has a nice place there, too. It is kept clean, and is actually quite spacious, with a kitchen/dining room, living room, bedroom, closet space, and very large bathroom. It's like having her own apartment, but the staff is there for her in an instant, should she need it. This living home is wonderful, and has great care. "

"I chose McLean County Nursing Home for my mom because it's a facility that doesn't have much turn over as far as the employees were concerned. It is an old building but it is exceptionally clean. It is near a university and I like it that students come there to visit. The staff is very good and they made their residents feel at home and as comfortable as possible. "

"My tour with Heritage Manor was wonderful. The receptionist was friendly, and the person who gave me a tour was very nice. Every time I called them to discuss things they were nice. I loved the layout. The decor was very nice. Their memory ward facility looked like they had lots of activities for the residents to do. The rooms were very nice. There were double and private rooms. They were very spacious and nice. The residents could decorate them up like they wanted to. Heritage Manor would definitely be one that I wanted to go back to."

"Snyder Village is a CCRC, so it's independent living, memory care, assisted living, and a nursing home. My parents lived there for 20 years and they got very good care in every facility they've been in. The place is well taken care of, and the maintenance is good. They had many social activities over the years like potlucks and all kinds of social get-togethers. They're very popular so I think they probably have a waiting list although they probably have some independent living cottages open right now."

"Everything went fine at The Loft (Heartland of Normal). They were very nice to my sister and she had no problems and wasn't upset with anything. She was happy, and her room was nice and clean. The staff was very polite, nice, and seemed to know what they were doing. My sister's nurses seemed to have everything under control. She also seemed to like the food but it's still nursing home food. She didn't do a lot of activities, but she did rehab. They do a lot of bingo and all kinds of things in their cafeteria though. The place itself was really good, clean, and didn't smell. It was kind of expensive but nursing homes are expensive."

"I was in Heritage Health - Bloomington for a couple of months. The staff was wonderful. The accommodations were very nice and clean. The food was not wonderful. I had a suite, and it was lovely, very nice, and clean. It had its own bathroom, big closet, hospital bed, and recliner chair. They were very, very accommodating for physical therapy. They had a great gym for working out and working on your therapy needs. I stayed in the therapy part. There's also a residential part. The staff was just wonderful. They took good care, of me, they were on top of all my medical and social needs. They were delightful."

"I liked Westminster Village a lot, but it was so big and so far to walk to everything. The staff was very nice, and everybody that we met said hello. It was nice. It was just too expensive and too far apart from everything. It was very spread out."
