Review

The Villas of Holly Brook in Jerseyville is described as a beautiful and luxurious place, comparable to a 4-star hotel. The facility is clean, new, and visually appealing, with each room designed to resemble the front door of a house. The staff, including nurses and aides familiar to residents from previous locations, are commended for their kindness and helpfulness. Suzanne, the director, is particularly praised for her exceptional assistance.

While the cost of staying at Villas of Holly Brook is noted as expensive, the amenities and care provided seem to justify it. The memory care unit offers personalized attention for elderly residents like the reviewer's centenarian aunt. The cleanliness standards are high, with weekly cleaning rounds and frequent sheet changes. Residents are also given three baths per week to ensure their comfort.

The communal areas in both the memory care unit and assisted living section provide various forms of entertainment. These include beautifully decorated open spaces with TVs, tables for playing board games like checkers or chess, a large fish tank filled with colorful fish, a kitchen area where residents can prepare snacks, and a lovely courtyard adorned with flowers and greenery. In addition to these features, the assisted living portion further boasts a pool table and cafe with tea, lemonade, and soft-serve ice cream.

The activities available at Villas of Holly Brook receive positive feedback from residents' family members. One reviewer mentions how their aunt is encouraged to participate in engaging activities like bingo while being motivated to interact with other residents. Despite there being only nine people currently residing in their aunt's section due to its recent opening, the facility seems dedicated to offering an array of activities overseen by an enthusiastic activity director based in the memory care unit.

Another review focuses on experiences at The Villas of Holly Brook & Reflections in Jerseyville from the perspective of someone whose uncle resides there under power of attorney (POA). The reviewer emphasizes how caring and considerate the staff is, always seeking approval or communication from family members before implementing any changes. The uncle seems content with the level of care he receives, expressing satisfaction with the nurses who visit and talk to him regularly.

The uncle's living quarters are described as being akin to an apartment, furnished with a microwave, refrigerator, and a separate bedroom. The reviewer also appreciates the availability of amenities such as a movie theater and bingo for residents' entertainment. Furthermore, the fact that their uncle has access to his own car implies that he can still enjoy a sense of independence while being monitored by signing in and out at the facility.

Overall, both reviews highlight the positive experiences their loved ones have had at The Villas of Holly Brook facilities. Although cost may be a factor for some individuals due to the higher fees compared to other options, the quality of care, cleanliness, engaging activities, and attentive staff make it an appealing choice for seniors seeking a comfortable and enriching living environment.
