Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Marion County, IL
Brookstone Estates of Olney
3.7

My father felt very isolated there as they did not have many activities he was interested in. He did not like the food but the personnel were friendly to him and helped him to meals and gave him his medications but otherwise he did not see them very often as he did not leave his room. He was 99 years and it was hard for him to wheel himself around the facility. Much of the problem was his age and his ability to help himself as he should have and the lack of activities.

San Gabriel Memory Care in Highland, IL
5.0

The employees at San Gabriel Memory Care are educated and trained on dementia and how to care for this patient population. I like the fact that there are consistent caregivers and always someone nearby if you need help. They are consistent with their care and take the residents to the bathroom every couple of hours. They assist with feedings, also. I'm really impressed with their professionalism. Their Activities Director is awesome and they have things planned for the entire day and try to get everyone involved. The place is clean, but not spotless and the food appears to be above average. I would definitely recommend that families check San Gabriel out for their loved ones with dementia!

Villas at St. James in Breese, IL
5.0

Our family is very happy to have grandpa at The Villas at St. James. He didn’t want to leave his home but [name removed] made him feel comfortable. He sits with “the guys” and enjoys meal times. They take the bus for rides which he loves since he can no longer drive. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It is a great place.
