10 Best Nursing Homes in America, IL

My sister loved living there. She socialized with the other residents and she really liked her apartment. She didn't care much for the "bland" meals but she moved up here from Texas!! The employees were very friendly. Her apartment didn't seem to get much cleaning-the floors were usually dusty and dirty. My sister received good care until the last week she lived there. We found out that she fell once and had a bruised eye. We were not called. Then she fell, possibly the next day, and laid there for about 12 hours. She did not have on her emergency button so part of it was her fault. When I was called they said she had trauma to her face and I needed to take her to the ER. Before I could get there, they had called an ambulance. My sister had severe trauma to her face and we found out that she had a broken femur. She had also laid there long enough that enzymes had started breaking down her muscles. After surgery, she had to go to a nursing home.

My family is so pleased with the care my mother- in-law, [name removed] receives at Rivercrest Place. It is such a burden off of us to know that she receives assistance with her medicine and care when she needs it. She loves the food, especially the fried catfish every Friday. They even take her to her doctor’s appointments if we are not available. There are so many different activities she can participate in. Something for everyone! We are so happy that we chose Rivercrest for her to continue living her best life.

We went with Gaither Suites because we had a previous experience with them with my grandmother and it was a good one. Also the location is close to my sisters house so she can visit more often. We were surprised at how helpful they have been especially with her dog that she has. They have gone above and beyond and we really appreciate that. I would recommend this facility to others.
