3 Nursing Homes Communities in Mercer County, Illinois

Glenda

My sister moved into Whispering Oaks. We chose it for the amenities, cleanliness, and overall aesthetics of the building and the apartment. The staff was very friendly, very welcoming, and the residents were also very friendly. She has a 1-bedroom apartment, but there's studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedrooms. There's a bus schedule 5 days a week, and in different days, they take them to different places. There's also a room behind a large shared living space that has exercise machine. There's a beautiful gazebo, rocking chairs on the front porch, and they have music and movies several times a week. They have a church service 3 or 4 times a week, bingo, and they had a bus trip the day she moved in.

Holly House Senior Residence was a regular house with regular people. There wasn't a lot of residents in there. The staff seemed very nice, but my mother didn't want to be there. She didn't like the place. They had a big kitchen with five tables, and it was pretty clean. They had couches set up in the living room. It wasn't a bad place. It's an old house, but it was clean. It did not have an institutional feeling at all. It was very homey.

Whispering Oaks was very nice. They showed me everything during the tour, the rooms, dining area, all of the activity rooms, the laundry, and the beauty salon. I also saw the area outside. Based on my impression of the place, we would like to live there. The person who gave us the tour was very sweet and very nice. I would rate Adele a five. We haven't eaten there yet, but we have been invited to.
