Types of care available in Charleston, IL
Senior Apartments
It's a very friendly place. They are very respectful to the residents. And they show true concern and care for them The facility is good. They clean the apartments every week. My loved one likes the food for the most part, although he's not picky. Sometimes it can be tough / hard to eat, which I think they need to consider for the elderly. But I would highly recommend Brookstone.
I would tell others looking into Parkview that there are only two staff members that are on site at all times. The apartment sizes/accommodations are pretty good. I would recommend Parkview Senior Apartments to others, but just make sure you ask the right questions up front.
Our experience with Brookstone in Mattoon has been very good thus far but I’m cautious bc my experience with Brookstone in Tuscola was not the best. So we’ll see. But my husband’s sister chose this one bc of the patio so here we are. She’s only been here about 2 months so time will tell.
