Nursing Home Communities in Normal, IL

"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. "

"Meadows is a wonderful facility. The staff goes above and beyond caring for the residents. They also make families feel comfortable and welcome when visiting loved ones. "

"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 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. "

"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. "

"I am very pleased with Manor Court of Clinton. They are very good about trying to keep her upright, so she doesn't get congested, and rotating her and moving her on the bed. They still try to do physical therapy with her. They're very kind to her. "

"This is a beautiful facility with employees that treated my father like he was their own. I am so very thankful that he was able to stay at such a beautiful facility with such great care. "

"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."

"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. "

"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. "

"We chose Washington Christian Village for my aunt because of the location and cost. It meets the needs and it's where we needed to be both cost wise and proximity to where all the family live. During Covid, they are offering meals in the dining room once a week and the rest of the week, the residents are eating in their rooms. They offer transportation to appointments, beauty shop, and activities. Everything is scaled back because of Covid. The cleaning, nursing, bathing, and dressing assistance were included in the price, instead of it being additional cost. She hasn't moved in yet, so from a residential standpoint, I don't know about that. The staff was very informational and very accommodating."

"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."

"My friend lives in Goldwater Care and the care they provide has been pretty good. Meds are delivered to her and then insulin shots every so often. They're on the ball. She's in an individual room, but she has to walk quite a ways to get her meals. She's at the far wing of and it seems like it's a quarter-mile walk to get there. The facility is more institutionalized. They don't have that homey touch to it. It's kind of like a sterile environment. It looks nice on the outside, but it's kind of cramped on the inside."

"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."
