Recent reviews of Independent Living in Cornell, IL
Charter Senior Living of Washington
4.3

The administrative staff of Morningside Washington, IL goes above and beyond to ensure needs are met for your loved ones. Scott went above and beyond to assist moving my parents from their apt in morton to the assisted living and then after mom passed he and his team promptly moved my dad to a unit that better fit his needs. I would highly recommend for those who could benefit from having meals and housekeeping needs met. I wish I would have thought of this much sooner as mom would have loved this years ago! The management team is committed to helping you stay in the home and out of dreaded nursing homes.

Lutheran Hillside Village in Peoria, IL

I have lived at LHV for 18 months. I was becoming familiar with the routines and activities when they were curtailed by the pandemic. Since that time The staff and administration have devoted themselves to the residents safety, health and comfort. Fellow residents are friendly and concerned about each other. As soon as we can return to prepandemic rules many group activities and luncheon trips will return. A pleasant place to live!!
