Charter Senior Living of Godfrey

Pam

I toured and I spoke with the staff, and she was very nice. Some of the rooms were very far from the dining room, so it would have been a long walk. They had a nice courtyard. Activities were going on in the dining room area. It may have been bingo or something, but they seemed to be having a good time. The place was nice. It looked clean and new.

They have what they call a kitchenette, because it consists of a sink, a small apartment-size refrigerator, and what I call Barbie Easy Bake microwave oven. It was just too small. Each room that the staff showed was not big enough to have a sofa. There was no room at all for company or anything. The staff member was a sweetheart. She was really, really nice, and very informative. She showed us around. The building was absolutely beautiful, but the living quarters were just too small. My furniture would not fit in there. The place was clean. It was polished to the tee. It was really beautiful. I didn't see anything out of place. They had places where you go outside and sit. They have a pond where residents could go out and fish.

Vickie

My mother-in-law is moving here. 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.

Milinda

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.
