69 Assisted Living Facilities near Raven, IL. Page 3

A beautiful facility with spacious rooms and nice amenities. My experience with Hollybrook is probably not typical, but during a very stressful 3 weeks, the staff stepped up and helped my family through a very difficult time. Shortly after moving into the assisted living, my dad was moved to memory care with hospice and died shortly thereafter. We are very grateful for everyone’s help during that time. There are two lovely, fully furnished guest suites that were made available to us. That said, weekend and holiday staffing is weak, but I always expected to be be hands-on and in the facility everyday. That is my only complaint. As absorbed as we were in our own little family drama, the other residents always seemed engaged and happy, well treated and well fed.

Our loved one is doing very well at Bickford of Crawfordsville. It is warm and inviting. It is very clean and it smells nice. The community is like a home environment. It doesn't look like a nursing home. The staff is friendly and caring. Everybody knows who she is and what is going on with her well-being. They are easy to communicate with and they keep me informed. If I'm not there they call me if they have any questions. I have seen the menu and the meals they provide look good. She looks good so I know she is eating well. The dining area is nice with tablecloths and flowers. Very homey. Very welcoming. They have activities for the residents to engage in and they encourage her to participate if she wishes to. What seems to suit her needs is to observe the activities in action. There is a secure outside area where she can go out in either the sun or shade and enjoy the fresh air. I would definitely recommend this community to others.

I have lived here for about a year and a half. I have enjoyed it immensely. Very friendly people live and work here. I recommend it for people 65 years old and older. We get three meals a day plus snacks. We get activities that are great. We have exercise programs for 45 minutes at least 2 times a week. There is also bingo and occasionally we will get entertainment from the community. That is great and very enjoyable. We have sing a longs and bell choir. During the holidays, the staff is wonderful in surprising us with different kinds of activities that we don't do on a regular basis. We also have someone come in to do chair yoga with us. To me, it is a great place to live. The staff is very helpful.
