    Review

    South Lawn Shelter Care is an assisted living facility located in Bunker Hill, IL. The facility has been family owned since 1949 and is known for providing a great environment and having excellent staff and residents. However, not all reviews about South Lawn Shelter Care have been positive.

    One reviewer mentioned that they would not recommend the facility to anyone due to feeling misled. The reviewer stated that their loved one was on private pay and that the facility did not follow through with things they had promised. This experience left them feeling disappointed and frustrated.

    On the other hand, another reviewer expressed their love for the staff and residents at South Lawn Shelter Care. They found both to be incredible, creating a warm and welcoming environment within the facility. This positive review highlights the sense of community and camaraderie that can be found at South Lawn.

    Another reviewer had a completely different experience. Upon visiting the facility with their recently widowed aunt, they found it to be run down and unappealing. The furniture was old and worn out, the paint on the walls was dingy, and there was a lack of stimulating decor. Furthermore, most of the residents seemed to be mentally challenged adults rather than seniors. This review strongly advised against placing loved ones in this facility as it lacked proper amenities and seemed more like a shelter than a senior living community.

    It's clear from these reviews that opinions about Southlawn Shelter Care are divided. While some appreciate the environment and people within the facility, others feel let down by unfulfilled promises or are dissatisfied with the physical state of the building itself.

    In conclusion, Southlawn Shelter Care is a long-standing family-owned assisted living facility in Bunker Hill, IL. Reviews reflect both positive experiences with its staff and community atmosphere as well as negative experiences regarding misleading information or outdated facilities. It's important for potential residents or their loved ones to thoroughly research and visit any senior living community to ensure it meets their specific needs and expectations.
