Recent reviews of Independent Living in Ashkum, IL
Wittenberg Village, a CCRC in Crown Point, IN
4.7

I moved in and liked it so much I bought a second apartment for my mother! The staff is the most caring I have ever encountered and the facility is top-notch. Hope to meet you soon.

Villas of Holly Brook and Reflections - Rantoul
3.9

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.

Park Place of St John in St. John, IN
4.6

The staff at Park Place of St John is wonderful. The facility is so clean and secure. My mom has made many new friends and that is great. She also takes advantage of many of the activities and outings that they have available for the residents. I would highly recommend Park Place of St John to others!
