Recent reviews of Independent Living in Christian County, IL
Randall Residence of Decatur
5.0

Everything is wonderful and clean at this community. The staff are very nice and attentive to my aunt and especially in her time of need after losing her dog. My aunt is adjusting well and has gained 10 pounds since staying with the community. My aunt loves the meals provided, she reads me the menu everyday! Overall it is a good place for my aunt and I would most certainly recommend this community.

Centennial Pointe Senior Living in Springfield, IL
5.0

Mom is eating good, walking more and enjoys the company. The staff that are there are so loving with the residents. It does seem like they are a little understaffed as I do not think mom is getting checked on as often as she was supposed to. There is a nurse on site all day and night. I have good communication with the staff and I would recommend this community.

Brookstone Of Mattoon North
5.0

This community really exceeds my expectations. I knew as soon as I walked in the door that this would be my home. Everyone here is absolutely phenomenal. It’s like a family here and you get to make great friends with everyone. At first, when I learned that there is assigned seating in the dining room I thought it was weird. I understand why they do it though. It makes it easier for you to meet new people and make friends. The staff is wonderful, personable, and friendly. [Removed], who is the maintenance man, is so helpful. I was trying to hang plates on the wall and was having a tough time but he came in and hung them up perfectly in 20 minutes. He even offered to hang my bird feeder and flag outside on my patio. All of the staff has a good sense of humor too. They get to know you really well and can tell when you don’t feel good. Even the cleaning lady is phenomenal. Once a week she comes in, strips the bed, cleans the apartment, and does my laundry. The wait staff is good and the chefs are excellent. They serve 3 meals a day and offer 2 options for each meal. I can even make special requests like asking for no gravy on my meatballs. They’re really good about doing that for you. Between meal times they have coffee, fresh baked cookies, and fruit set out for snacks. What I really like is every week the staff holds a food council meeting. They ask if we have any complaints or changes that we would like to see and they actually listen and take notes. Last week we had a complaint with how the food wasn’t very hot when we were served and this week the food is coming out a lot hotter. The facility is very, very clean but it doesn’t smell like cleaning products either. I really like the features this community has to offer. They have a wonderful library with computers and they have an aviary with finches in it. They do allow you to bring your cats and dogs with you as well. The whole building has Wi-Fi and every room has extended cable. I have a 3 bedroom apartment with a full sized kitchen. My bathroom is nice sized and it has plenty of storage. For activities, they offer memory classes, bingo, Wii bowling, exercise classes, 10 AM coffee socials, and at 2 PM they have game time. The other thing I really love is they staff provide me an emergency pendant so if anything happens; I know they will be there to assist me quickly. I would absolutely recommend this community.
