Vantage Senior Care

Great and friendly staff, terrific environment . Met personally with the activities director, very lovely, professional, informative woman. She took the time to answer any and all of my questions and even had some great suggestions to help aid me .

I have a loved one in this community that tells me they never want to leave because it is their home. This coming from someone that was adamant on not moving to an assisted living. The facility worked with my loved one's finances and when the time came to transition to Medicaid, the facility let her stay in her room and it was a seamless transition. I hear horror stories all the time on these other facilities kicking residents to the curb once they take all their money. The staff is wonderful and caring. The food is excellent. The activities are fun for all. I'm pleased overall with the care provided.

Great modern design and huge windows - cheerful staff and team. Great community feel in the best of Chicago. The outdoor excursions are often and fun. The living spaces are many and they have a great rooftop terrace. Also, it’s within a block of a French bakery and a few minutes drive from major grocery stores and chains like Target.

The facility is affordable and very clean. They make you feel like family. I would recommend Cedarhurst of Quincy to others looking for memory care.

I would give the staff a 5. Great girls, helpful, friendly loved them. Cleanliness I would give a 3 though it could have been better. However, I'm fussy. My dad couldn't do activities so I have no rate on that. Overall, I would recommend Ellens Home. The comment I want to give is I hope the CNA' S are paid well, meaning enough to raise a family. Also, they should get benefits if they don't. These girls are what matters to us as family members for our loved ones.

My loved one is currently a resident at Cedarhurst of Centralia and everything has been great for him so far at this facility. The staff is very caring. The facility is small scale with a good staff to resident ratio. The atmosphere is very friendly and family like. I would recommend Cedarhurst of Centralia to others!

Maywood was promising when we toured this community. Unfortunately they did not offer the assisted living services our family and loved one needed at the time.

We chose Cedarhurst of Quincy over other places that we looked because I liked what I had heard about it from a family member and I researched online and liked what I saw. I didn't really want mom in a nursing home and Cedarhurst is definitely not that atmosphere. My mother is there and she seems to be doing well. I believe she is in good hands and when I say the staff is friendly I truly mean that. They welcome you when you visit and treat you as family!

Ellen's Home South tried hard to work with us and make the process easier. In general, I would give them a high mark. As far as the type of care, I think it was okay. My mom only ended up being there for five days before she passed. With the level of caregivers some of them seemed good, if there was one available. One day there were only two people for the whole building. I understand the shortage of worker bees and finding people who are willing to work, I just think in general they could have used more help and training. Other than that, I'd give them high marks. My mom ended up needing way more care than we thought, so that put a little clink in it. All of that aside, they did a nice job and were easy to work with. It's a very nice facility as well.

Ellen's Home South was able to take my 94 y/o mom on an emergency basis due to water issues in our home. We ultimately decided to have her stay here permanently. Everyone was so friendly, professional, and caring to all of us. [name removed] and her staff were amazing in providing for all her needs and encouraging my mom to participate in the different activities. We didn't think mom would participate as much as she did, but she surprised us. She got the socialization she needed and she made new friends too! Mom only was able to be here for a little over a month before she passed away peacefully. We would highly recommend Ellen's Home South to anyone looking for a great place for a parent to move to. Laundry is done promptly, meals were nutritional, and everything was very clean. There was a very homey atmosphere too. We want to say a huge "thank you" to the entire staff and wish we could have had a longer relationship with them.

We thought keeping mom home was the best thing, all of us family thought .. last resort moving mom out of her home. WoW.. what a mistake! We Couldn't have been more wrong in our thinking and Mom's wishes! She is doing better than ever, tons of friends, engaging people, GREAT food, my family cannot go on enough about what a difference we see in Mom after living at Cedarhurst of Centralia. Thank you [name removed] and staff!

Mom has been at Cedarhurst since the end of [date removed]. If was a difficult family decision. We wanted her in a place that specializes in dementia/Alzheimer. We have not been disappointed. The staff was welcoming and helped to make moms transition pleasant. She likes having her own apartment. She gets on sight physical therapy. We think she is moving around with her walker easier. She has made friends with other residents and says the staff treats her well. She gets to socialize more with others I have attended game day and painting activities with mom. The walls display resident’s artwork. The staff has always been nice and respectful and helpful to us. We can take mom out of the facility anytime we want and that is important to her. The meals look nutritious as well as varied. Although mom has some off days on occasion, she really has a better disposition than when she lived alone. Thank you Cedarhurst for your care.

When i decided to take my wife to an assisted living home, I found Cedarhurst in Centralia ,Il. I found the director and everyone who worked there did an exceptional job with care that my wife received both day and nights. I am very satisfied with my choice use Cedarhurst.

I have visited Cedarhurst of Centralia several times and every time that I visit the staff couldn't be friendlier and so engaging with their residents. The community is very clean and very well maintained. The residents are happy, you can tell they are very much loved by the staff. [name removed] the Executive Director really cares about her residents and team! Cedarhurst of Centralia is a very special place!

It was an overwhelming decision to put my into care but [name removed] and her team helped make it a smooth transition.. Not only did they welcome my dad in but we have all been treated with absolute kindness and respect. The staff always makes time to discuss my dad’s condition and address any concerns you have. I am absolutely thankful for Cedarhurst and the amazing people.

I had to find a place that gave end-to-life care for my 90 year old aunt who had many cognitive disabilities. She needed a small place that could provide everything as she couldn’t be moved again. Ellen’s Home was perfect!!! It truly has a homey feeling, nice sized rooms, and a comfortable setting. However, it was the care she received and the communication I received that really stood out!! Every care giver formed a special bond with my aunt and they all treated her caringly. In the end, hospice was brought in and Ellen’s Home took care of everything. I am grateful to Rllens Home for making the last 3 years of my aunts life comfortable, happy, and safe!!!

This is a small and very homey feeling community. Everyone is really nice and well taken care of. They do have a lot of activities that I see happening often my loved one just does not participate.

My father-in-law stayed at Ellen's Home until his passing. It was a wonderful experience for the whole family. He was taken very well care of. He loved the homemade food and activities with all the residents. He enjoyed being able to go in and out of the secured patio at any time he wanted. He was able to transition to Family Care, Title 19, when his funds ran out. He did not have to move out or even to another room. We are grateful to find such a wonderful place for him to live out the rest of his life in comfort, safety and show such love and kindness. I would highly recommend this home.

I was at my wit's end when I was given the name of Cedarhurst. I was so stressed, and the woman in admissions made it so easy, a no-brainer. I could call her at any time with a question or concern. If she was not there, she always called me back, and she was always so kind and understanding. My loved one having dementia is not great, but finding a place where she can be comfortable and safe is just immeasurable. Everybody there has been very friendly and helpful. It's not at all like a typical "nursing home." You would not know this is an older folks' home. My loved one has her own little apartment. As far back as I can remember, my loved one had her hair done every week. But she hasn't been able to do that for some time. Well, the activities director here does the ladies' hair twice a week at no charge, and her going above and beyond like that has just made a world of difference to my loved one, to be able to get her hair done.

I researched all of the nursing homes and assisted living in my area when it was time to find a home for my mother. I was most impressed with Ellen's home and my mom has been there since last November. [Name removed] and all her workers are amazing! My mom is not easy to handle and they do it with patience and kindness on a daily basis. I am so grateful and highly recommend them!!
