Nursing Home Communities in Pontiac, IL

"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. "

"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. "

"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."

"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. "

"Piper City Rehab & Living Center was the one my husband was most happy in after he got used to it. He was very sick when he went in, and he got good care there. Once he got better, they could get him up. He won't do anything for me like he would for them. They took really good care of him. When he got better, they took him down to play bingo and different things and he finally had a friend he talked to all the time. Even now, he'll tell me he'll go to Piper City again. He was there for three months in skilled nursing. He was in the room by himself for a month to a month and a half. When COVID was high, they had to have a hall set aside just for COVID. They had to move some people, so they had another man in his room, but they got along fine. The food looked really good and he ate it all. They did a really good job with the upkeep. During COVID, the only place you could sit in was his room, but after that, when he got better and COVID was not as redolent, we could go in the big dining room. When the grandkids came, we stayed outside. Everybody was great. If there was a problem, the girls were always on it and called me. They did a really good job of keeping it clean. The cleaning people did great. They always had his bed changed and made. I went to bingo one day and watched them and sat with him at his table and he even won. The older people seemed to like it."
