Recent reviews of Independent Living in Wayne County, IL
Brookstone of Harrisburg
5.0 / 5.0

Everything is going quite well for my mom at Brookstone! The facility is well maintained and the staff are doing a great job with my mom. The food is also just fine for her. Overall, we are very pleased with her stay!

Brookstone Estates of Olney
3.7 / 5.0

My father felt very isolated there as they did not have many activities he was interested in. He did not like the food but the personnel were friendly to him and helped him to meals and gave him his medications but otherwise he did not see them very often as he did not leave his room. He was 99 years and it was hard for him to wheel himself around the facility. Much of the problem was his age and his ability to help himself as he should have and the lack of activities.

Heritage Woods of Mt Vernon in Mount Vernon, IL
