Nursing Home Communities in Harrisburg, IL

"I was in Carrier Mills Nursing & Rehabilitation Center after I was in the hospital with pneumonia. I had a very good experience. The food was excellent. The care that the nurses gave was excellent. I would recommend it to anybody that needed to go to a nursing home. The rooms were a little small, but if there was just one to be in there, they were fine. I shared a room with a gentleman. They had singing and movies, and you could go to the main dining room to eat if you so desired. They have a very good physical therapy facility. If somebody needs physical therapy, they have excellent therapists. They’re quite attentive to your needs, and it isn’t far from our home. "

"My mother-in-law is currently in Integrity Healthcare of Marion. The staff members are very supportive, very kind, and very responsive to any questions. They have puzzles, they have groups where they get together and talk, and they can also go outside and exercise if the weather is nice. Her room is very clean. We're paying with Medicare. The communication with the staff is very good."

"My mother in law is in a nursing home right now called Frankfort Healthcare. It’s in good shape, it's clean all the time, and the nurses take care of everybody well. They have activities like bingo and singers coming in "

"My mom is at Liberty Village of Marion in Parkway Manor Skilled Nursing. She has been there for six weeks now. They're helping her with physical therapy, bathing, getting dressed, they're cooking their meals, and doing laundry. When it turned cold before I got down there to bring her some warmer clothes, they provided her with a lot of clothes. Residents may have their own cell phones in the room. They have wheelchairs and they have a doctor coming in once a week. They have arts and crafts and bingo activities. A lady comes in and gets their nails done and paints them if they want. All the residents say they like the food there. I was there with my mom for lunch a couple of times, and they had good stuff. She had lasagna, broccoli, and bread roll. Another person didn't want that, and they made her a salad with eggs, ham, lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. They looked good. Some older people were eating cheeseburgers and hot dogs. They could choose food; it's not just handed to them. They have a little menu. They have snacks, coffee, and water. When I visited my mom who was sitting with some of the other residents, some of the skilled workers sat at tables and talked with them. "

"When my looking for long term care insurance my parents decided to visit a few nursing homes near their house in case they would ever need to go to them and since I was my parents power of attorney I went with them. The first nursing home we visited was this Courtyard. I never wanted to ever think of a time that they would not be able to take care of themselves. But at the age of 70 they wanted to plan ahead. We visited the rehab department and saw the way they worked great with all of the residents. The chance of having a stroke increases with age and the rehab department would be an important part of their lives, if needed. Then we sat in on a Christian service they had for the residents every week. My parents both agreed this would be a great facility if you actually had to live in one and not live on your own. "

"Helia did everything wonderful, and I would rate them five stars. It was all five stars, and I never have a problem with them. He went there barely able to get around in a wheelchair, and within a week he was up walking. The rehab there is spectacular. The staffs were good, and they bend over backwards. They put on special things for people like birthday parties. One lady turned 101 years old there, and they put on a big birthday bash for her. They have a King and Queen Day right on Valentine's Day, and they welcome the family. The rooms were very clean and very easy to care for. It has a TV, a dresser, and a lounge chair. All of the rooms are private rooms at the Helia. "
