Cedarhurst of Godfrey was very nice. They had a lot of activities. I saw their menus. It looked like they were really good. The rooms were nice. You could do your own laundry, or you could pay somebody 50 dollars a month to do your laundry. They had beauty shops. They had different groups that get together whether it's cards, books, pool, or things like that. They invited me to come out for Thanksgiving dinner so I could see what their food was like if I wanted to. They had both assisted living and independent living. They told me they clean the rooms once a week and they take care of all of your bedding as far as cleaning it, changing the beds, and all that. They were very clean and very friendly. The person who showed me around was very good. She has called me twice to see how I'm doing and if I wanted to come out again. They're very attentive. The place was clean. They showed me rooms that had just emptied, and they were ripping out carpets and painting walls. They do that every time a room empties.

I toured Cedarhurst of Godfrey for my mother. We toured the assisted living. The evaluator even said that she could start out at the minimum basic to start with. The place was very clean and neat. The staff seemed to be caring and very attentive to her needs. It looked like a good fit for her. It is close to my house, and I liked the cleanliness of it, and the accessibility. The staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The rooms were nice, bigger than some, and smaller than others. It's probably medium-sized rooms and they were very clean and well-kept. The dining area was very nice, too. It looked like she could get to it pretty easy. They were playing bingo yesterday and they play cards. My mom enjoys playing. They do field trips and stuff like that. They go to Walmart twice a month and they've got a bus service that could shuttle her to the doctor. I think she'll be better off here than she was staying by herself at home. We're really leaning towards a Cedarhurst at this point.

My mother-in-law is moving to Cedarhurst of Godfrey. They provide meals and she needed that. I thought she needed someone else to be there and help her in and out of the shower but she can actually bathe herself because their shower is a regular handicap shower so she probably won't have any trouble with it. As soon as we walked in the door, it's a beautiful place. It's roomy and airy. They took us on a tour and we saw the room that was available. It's been redone, it's beautiful, big and airy. It has big bay windows in it that made it really nice and homey. It also made it airy, you won't feel like you're closed in. We continued on and the facility was made into a big square so you can't really get lost, you just continue walking and you'll get to your room. Everything about it made me feel like I want to move in. It's a really, really nice facility. We're really happy and just overly impressed with everything. The activities and amenities were presented to us, they had them on a paper and we looked at the activities that they had and things going on. They told us that if she would want to go to Walmart or somewhere else, they had somebody with a van that takes whoever wants to go. They go places or take them to doctor appointments, it's all available for them. They're making their people feel like they're home away from home, for sure. They're not going to feel like they're closed in. It's definitely not like a nursing home and it's very, very nice.

I loved Cedarhurst of Godfrey, but it costs too much money that I can't afford it. The place was beautiful, there was nothing wrong that I could complain about. Amy, the executive director, and the nurse and everybody else couldn't have been nicer. The rooms and the atmosphere of the place were also wonderful. I couldn't come up with anything that's wrong except the price. They have a 2-bedroom, a 1-bedroom and a studio apartment. I haven't tried the food there but it looks really good and their dining area was great and large. They have transportation, they have a beauty shop, and they go out twice a week. It's an absolutely perfectly clean community, and it's all one level so you don't have trouble walking.

My mom moved in. It's really nice, she's happy with the food, and everybody's nice. They do different things, and they have outings a lot. They take them shopping, and they go out to restaurants to eat. I'm very happy with it, and they allowed her to keep her pets.

It was excellent. Everyone was really friendly. It was exceptionally clean, and that was where my mom wanted to live. The rooms were all small, but I liked all those that I looked at. They had a really good activity calendar.
