4 Nursing Homes Communities in Boone County, Illinois

My husband was a resident of The Bluffs. It was fine. They treated him very well and they treated me very well. I could not visit because of the COVID restrictions, but they were quite willing to give me information over the phone anytime that I called. They were very considerate about it. I was not made to feel that I was interrupting or anything. He was waiting for a bed to open up in memory care because he had Alzheimer's. He was in the hospital and he moved from the hospital to the nursing home. I was only in the facility when they called me the day that he died, that was the only time I was allowed to come in. What I saw was fine that day. The grounds were very nice. The room that he got was fine. It was a shared one, but there was no one else in the room.

I went on a tour with Solstice Senior Living at Columbia yesterday. I was able to meet with the business director, Wendy, and she let me know what Solstice has to offer. We sat down for an interview, and then upon finishing the interview, she took me on a tour, where we specifically looked into the possibility of a one-bedroom that we would be interested in. We looked at where it was and compared it to the other places. She showed me around the facility and all the different amenities that they have, and then they set me up to talk with a cook today. I wasn't able to meet with the cook yesterday to ask about the menu and food restrictions, but she's going to call me when they have the opportunity. She also gave me information on the financial side. The tour went very well. It was very personable. They adhered to all the COVID restrictions without a problem, and I could say everybody was treated well. The facility was inviting, too. I enjoyed it, and it looked clean. They have a library area, some game tables for backgammon, chess, and checkers, an exercise area, a media room where you can watch movies and things, a computer available to the residents, and laundry facilities on every floor. On the outside, they have a nice manmade lake that is stocked, so we can do fishing or feed the ducks. It is something that my wife and I like to do.

My mom was in the last days of her life and we looked for a place for her to do hospice. Lenoir took three days to approve our application as they needed proof that we could pay for three years. They were unclear about their expectations, cold and rude during a trying time for us. We then had to give them $10,000 up front. My mother lived for three days at Lenoir. She died on January 11th and they still have not sent us our refund- It is now March 12th. And when I call they can\'t give me any answers. So disappointed in this organization.

We will be going to Solstice Senior Living at Columbia within a couple of months. We took a tour and enjoyed what we saw. We liked it very much. We ate a meal in the dining room and all the service there was great. We're very excited about the amenities and activities. There will be quite a few things that we will be taking advantage of when we get there. They won the 2018 award for the best senior living centers in Columbia, Missouri. We were very pleased. Everything was wonderful and immaculate. My husband loves to fish, and they have a lake there, so he is looking forward to being able to go fishing.

Everything here seemed to be real good. We were happy with it. The lady there was very nice and even my son and daughter were all pleased with her. We just saw the room, and it was nice, clean, and neat. We were very satisfied with the tour.
