Nursing Home Communities in Olney, IL

"My mom has been at long-term care at Carle Richland Memorial Hospital. It was a part of the hospital that they just made into a long-term care, but we think the CEO's starting to close, 'cause why would you go increase a rate? She was paying like $5,800 and some, to almost $7,300 a month, and that's a huge amount. It's a private pay, that's what they call it, and they're good. You get a little better care than some of the other nursing homes here, so that's why we put her in there when she first had a stroke during heart surgery. She doesn't even really know names of food or anything, and if you ask her what she has for supper, or dinner, she has no clue what you're talking about. I had some issues with a couple of the CNAs. They were just picking the crap out of her trying to aggravate her. It must've been not too bad, but we've had the same issues over the workers in there. She is mad in any way, her personality changed when she had the stroke. I hate it, plus they said they'd given her her share and they didn't do it then, and she smells. That made me mad too. That's the sad part with this COVID, you have no clue what's going on in these places. It's changed several times who has worked in there. Some of them are great, and then others are not so good. It is hospital food, it is OK. They changed the diet up there, so it wouldn't be as good anymore. It's not fancy up there, it's just like an old hospital, a part of a hospital where they stuck these people in the old rooms. Mom's room is tiny. The rooms are all in different sizes, they're caught up, and some of them they put two people in. Mom doesn't have a shared bathroom, but one did. That's one reason we left her in there too. We didn't want her to have a shared bathroom because she still can go to the bathroom on her own, but her room is awful. It's gone downhill up there. It used to be where you wanted your loved ones because they got a little extra special care there, but not anymore."

"They were great at Burgin Manor of Olyney. Everybody was wonderful. They were very informative and very helpful. They took my dad to the gym every day. The physical therapy person was good. His room had a nice size. Everything was great. "

"My father is in Ridgeview Care, it's excellent and my father loves it. They have good meals, they have good aides and nursing, there's just everything about it he loves. He didn't want to go anywhere else. He's been in several nursing homes and this one is the one he preferred by far. The caregivers are very personable and very caring. They're always on their toes, always checking the residents, and I just can't say enough good about the Ridgeview care center. It's just excellent compared to the others that he's been in. It's very clean, it never smells, it's very homey. It's a top-notch nursing home that I've been in, and we've been in three others. I think that it's an excellent location for dad because it is a country setting with lots of trees on a dead-end road. And it's very comfortable for someone that likes the rural atmosphere. I have eaten there many times, and there are activities like bingo."

"The United Methodist Village is top-notch. It has a newly-completed wing of apartments called North Campus. This wing is on the same floor as the big nursing care unit, so that you could go into an apartment and be on the same floor as the nursing home unit. You would have a nurse on duty at all times, on call, and that was the advantage there. "

"When my grandmother was sick and suffering from dementia my family made the very difficult decision to find a nursing home. She was sent to Flora Garden Center. The facility is average, the rooms and accommodations are not exceptional but it does the trick. I would not send family members or people from out of town there however if you happen to live in the area the accommodations are appropriate and most of residents know one another. It is a small town so there are not a lot of people there which I find to be pretty nice. The place smelled a little of urine, I had never been in a nursing home before so I don't know if this is common. My grandmother stayed there for about a year. There was one nurse who was particularly kind and helped my grandmother out a lot. When my grandmother had moments of clarity she would always say that she wanted to go home. "

"Our visit to Cotillion Ridge-Robinson, IL was wonderful, it was great. The staff who gave us the tour were excellent, I've only met a couple but they were great. The facility itself seemed excellent to me, it was very homey and it was just a very nice facility. The interior was excellent, it was all modern and updated in terms of colors, textures, paintings, everything was up to date and very nice. The location is pretty good. The staff we've interacted with were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about everything."
