The Landings at Reed Station Crossing in Carbondale, IL
5.0

My Mom is not thrilled with the food all the time but most of the time. The CNA's are great. They are fun and pay attention to the needs of my mom. The staff are all helpful. The other residents have enjoy trips to sites in the area. My mom just won't go. There are many things family can do when they visit.

Capetown and Cottages at Capetown in Cape Girardeau, MO
4.0

I would not recommend the food at Capetown. There are not a lot of choices and there have been times when my mom went to bed without a meal. The staff are good and keep us informed of her care. They do offer activities however she is not able to participate due to health issues. Everything else is good at the community. While my mom is having to move to another community due to the cost, I would still recommend Capetown to family and friends.
