Would like to give less starts but that's not possible…read more.. My parents were living in the independent villas until recently when the village decided 1 of them could not return from a rehab facility because of the amount of care he needed. That amount of care has been the same for several years now, since before they moved in. We had nurses and family in daily to help; the village doesn't provide or help with any of that need. We had about 1 week to find a new place to live & get them moved. The amount of stress and emotional drain on my parents was very difficult. In the 2 1/2 yrs they lived there the rent was raised 3 times when we were told it wouldn't be raised very often. The amount they charge these older people for what they provide is ridiculous! We couldn't get an electrical issue (ceiling fan) repaired, even though it could have started a fire until we bought our own because they said it was our responsibility, even though it was there when they rented the place. The only benefit of living in the independent living villa is they mow the grass & call once a day to check on them. Other than that they do nothing for the residence. The "transportation" they provide is very limited to small amount of days & hours that you have to get your dr appts to fit into. Do not believe all the promises they make before you sign the lease because none of it is true. The villas are not set up for older people even though it is in a retirement village. Hallways are too narrow and a wheelchair can't even fit out the back door.

I did not receive any support, was thrown under the bus on several occasions, and to top it off, I was denied well earned commission that totaled over $1,200. I found the community to be extremely over priced, it is in no way worth the money. Team members caused a resident to miss her doctors' appointment, the Executive Director did nothing to assistant. Due to employees smoking close to an open door, the hallways smell like smoke. There's a VERY high turn over rate, so they are often short staffed, residents would express their concerns. Several employees are related to the Executive Director, this is not a good thing. The food is subpar, I would not refer anyone there. Try Asbury Village instead. The staff and the community overall is far better than Cedarhurst of Godfrey. The size of apartments are larger, significantly lower in cost, there's lots of tenure, the team is very helpful, knowledgeable, and the meals are amazing!!

My mother had a possible active c diff infection. It happened at the nursing home. I saw my mother eat the donuts the next day that I had thrown in the garbage the day before. My mother was being treated for C Diff and cna's were writing down that my mother's stool was formed and she still had diarrhea. Another cna informed the nursing home and they did nothing. The nursing will not allow me to speak or see my 93-year-old mother with undiagnosed dementia. The nursing home is dirty and smells like feces. Don't send your loved ones to this nursing home.

Instead, each resident received a dried-out half of a small chicken. My source tells me (very earnestly), this was because, "The Kitchen doesn't really know what a Cornish game hen is --they are not familiar with it in Alton, IL." So interesting. So, the Kitchen knows enough to "post" it on the menu, but doesn't know what a Cornish game hen is... Hmm. To help out, I am posting photos of Cornish Game hens .. which are quite inexpensive and readily available all over the United States in super markets. No holiday spirit at St. Clare's!
