Nursing Home Communities in Springfield, IL

"I toured Concordia Village, and that's where I want to go when I can't live by myself anymore. It is the most expensive place that we toured, but it was also the nicest. It had a saltwater swimming pool, a movie theater, a place to get your hair done, and a little shop where you can buy extra food and all kinds of amenities. The people were very, very nice. The grounds are huge and immaculate. You could have a studio apartment, which is very small, or you could have a one-bedroom, which opens up into a courtyard. It also has flowers and a little garden that is accessible from your room if you have a patio. They also have several spaces for people who want to have independent living. They also have a skilled section for people who need skilled nursing, but we didn't tour that part of it. It was wonderful, and I would like to go there when I have to go someplace. You can bring your car, you could have pet if you want a pet, and they have all kinds of activities. They have planned trips. You're free to come and go as you please, and you're free to have visitors whenever you want. After 8:00 p.m., they have to come through the main door, but other than that, they can come directly to your room from the side passages. They have a swimming pool that is really lovely. It is open from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with a lifeguard; after that, you have to bring your own lifeguard. The food was a "five." They have their own chef who makes special meals. They have really good food."

"My wife is currently living in The Villas and they've been really good. She was in a different community before where the food was whatever and the staff had a lot of turnover. However, The Villas has pretty good food all the way around. As far as working on therapy, they are excellent. The staff members have all been caring and efficient. They've been there and they do what's needed. The one thing I would suggest is to make the entrance more accessible for people in wheelchairs. Other than that, the place is clean, neat, well lit, and well maintained. They have activities every day and they try to keep the people pretty busy. They bring in music, singers, speakers, they play bingo and games, and there are parties in the afternoons. They do a lot."

"My mom ended up going to Sunny Acres Nursing Home in Petersburg, Illinois. The care is excellent. The staff communicates well. They listen to what I say about trying to get to know my mom. That type of thing has been really beneficial. It's a nursing home, and it has rehab services. She's receiving physical and occupational therapy. We're just getting started. Unfortunately, she's had a little bit of a setback because she has one foot that's swollen, but they have been working with her. They have her sitting up more and getting out of bed more, which to me is a win. She was pretty much bedridden for four months before that. I think the food is good so far. I haven't heard her complain too much. It all looks good whenever I've been there; I've been there quite often when they're eating. It's definitely healthy food and good portions too. She's excited because there's always something that they consider "dessert," and she likes that. Her room is kept clean. It's spacious and they're definitely accommodating. Right now, she's in a double room but she's by herself. I still think there is plenty of room for two more people there, if and when that would happen. They have a really nice dining hall, and they have some activity rooms. They have the outside areas for visiting, as well, so it's very accommodating. They always have a calendar of activities, and they're always encouraging her to get involved. I feel really good about that. They have great accommodations in a rural setting, which is very peaceful, and the staff is wonderful."

"nice place "

"My sister was in there for about 3 plus months. The staff was wonderful very caring, therapy pushed her, the food left a lot to be desired. And the facility is nothing like the pictures anymore. But I can't praise the staff enough."

"Golden Moments was a very great nursing home. To start the people there were very polite and eager to talk to you. It was pretty much a bunch of people who a ton of story's to tell! But of course with every great place there its flaws. As far as the staff goes they were very professional. Would meet and greet and when could but still at the same time took their job and responsibility s very serious! When something went wrong the staff was quick to address the problem and get it fixed in a timely matter. For example when a resident made a mess during supper time. The proper procedures were taken and everything was done professionally. Overall i would rate Golden Moments with a 4/5. "

"My mama was there as a resident for almost 5 yrs they took very good care of her everyone helped"

"St. Clara's Manor's staff is a very caring staff. All of the staff, including Maintenance, housekeeping, and dietary are very kind. They always try hard to answer our questions and the nurses have contact with a great physician when my mom isn't feeling well. They work hard to take care of all their patients. My mother has a well lit, comfortable and lovely room that is cleaned daily. "
