6 Best Nursing Homes in Ogden, IL

A beautiful facility with spacious rooms and nice amenities. My experience with Hollybrook is probably not typical, but during a very stressful 3 weeks, the staff stepped up and helped my family through a very difficult time. Shortly after moving into the assisted living, my dad was moved to memory care with hospice and died shortly thereafter. We are very grateful for everyone’s help during that time. There are two lovely, fully furnished guest suites that were made available to us. That said, weekend and holiday staffing is weak, but I always expected to be be hands-on and in the facility everyday. That is my only complaint. As absorbed as we were in our own little family drama, the other residents always seemed engaged and happy, well treated and well fed.

The staff were friendly and encouraging and so supportive. My brother (the resident) entered The Bickford on hospice because of failure to thrive and within three months he was well enough to be taken off hospice. We had very little difficulty getting in contact with the staff, and they contacted me appropriately. I would strongly recommend this facility.

Mom spent 1.5 years in another facility prior to living at Bridlebrook. She lost weight, hated the food, and the Covid experience was terrible. She moved to Bridlebrook in October 2020 and has never been happier. The food is great and she’s never complained once. She loves the staff and her surroundings. Oh, and she has gained 25 lbs. Bridlebrook has still experienced Covid issues, but the staff has handled them professionally and with compassion. If your looking for a place for your parents or a friend, this is the place to be.
