Luther Oaks in Bloomington, IL
5.0

We have been very pleased so far with Luther Oaks, they have made the experience for our loved one and family very positive. From the transition and up until now they have been very personalized and made everything pretty easy. Overall it has been a solid 5 star experience and the other residents living there are very caring and so friendly. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

I would highly recommend this community for you or your loved one and I have already told some people about this community. The staff that I have encountered have been very helpful and open with all of the residents there that I have witnessed. They have tea times for the women like a valentines day tea and more but I would like to see them do more for the men. They play bingo and things like that to keep the residents busy.
