10 Best Nursing Homes in Union County, 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.

They were outstanding in every aspect. They even had live music one afternoon. My mother loved the food and everyone was very friendly and helpful. A Place for Mom was extremely helpful. [name removed] was great to work with. I recommend all the time!

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.
