Emerald Village Retirement Community

I very much recommend this IL. My sister was here for a year and she made many friends. Nice place.

My mother moved into Emerald Village in December of 2017. This is a wonderful place. The building and grounds are lovely and kept spotless, the apartments are very nice, the food is excellent and the staff is the best! My brother and I have been more than impressed with the nurses, who endured some verbal abuse from our mom when she first moved in. She was reeling from all the changes in her life (at age 94) and took it out on the nurses as they went about their work of administering her medicines. They responded with professionalism, understanding and compassion. These ladies were so patient and kind! After a while, my mom adjusted, and she now appreciates what a great place EV is. She appreciates the nurses and aides who care for her so well. She says the dining room staff and the ladies who clean her apartment and collect and return her laundry are all friendly and make her feel cared for. My siblings and I feel very fortunate that our mom is at Emerald Village. We have peace of mind, knowing she is safe and well cared for and treated with kindness and respect.

Emerald Village was an excellent community. It was clean, and they had a lot of activities. It's not one that I'm going to select, but it was a very nice place, and I think that there are a lot of people who would love it. It was physically a beautiful setting, but of all the ones I've seen, it made me feel the least welcomed. Everybody was up in their room. Also, it's run by the Catholic church. The staff was very knowledgeable, responded to my questions, and were pleasant. It just did not seem like a real warm and welcoming place, which was something that's high on my list of things I would be looking for. I want the staff to feel like they enjoy working there.

I toured several places that accepted Medicaid, and Emerald Village was the best one. The staff was excellent. The rooms were very nice, clean, spacious for the most part, and looked very safe. They were equipped with what my mother would need. There were several activities that she would enjoy including bingo, field trips, and excursions. It's right next to a Catholic church, so it will be convenient for her to do activities at the church as well. What stood out were the people. They just looked like people that my mom would be interested in spending time with. The dining area looked fine, the chairs were good, and everything that I looked at was adequate.

This is an excellent facility with 120 independent apartments and 30 assisted living apartments. The complete staff are professional, helpful, and deliver excellent care in a compassionate manner at all times. As a nurse I highly recommend this facilty. There are numerous safety features that older facilities did not have, Great Activities Director. My mom loves it!

Emerald Village is very clean; the people are friendly; the residents seem happy; the staff seems delightful; and the food is really good. They have choices for their meals and they seem to offer a lot for less money -- I was very pleased. We’ll be getting a two-bedroom unit; it’s very nice, very clean and they do a good job in getting it ready for us. It’s in real good shape. It has a kitchenette with plenty of cupboard space and room for a small table and chairs. They have all kinds of activities -- all types of games ranging from Bingo to LCR and Farkle and they also have entertainment that comes in, such as singers. They also have educational lectures from time to time. They’ve taken a lot of trips; they do go into town to the concerts and ball games. They have art classes and they have a book discussion group. They have housekeeping once a week. They have an exercise room, a library, and computer room. They have a beautiful patio out back that overlooks Bradley woods. It is a family-oriented place where people intermingle quite a lot and have a real good time.

I went a couple of times to Emerald Village Retirement, and I really liked it. But financially it didn't work out for my mother, and they told me she wasn't good enough for there, like she needed more care, and they couldn't handle her. I liked the rooms, and I thought they were very nice. This place reminded me the most of the previous retirement place she was at. There was some independent living there but just a handful of assisted, and it gave me the feeling that these people were her own age.
