Life's Journey Senior Living - Taylorville

Staff works extremely hard. They have to go through individual dementia training at least once a year plus a training once a month. Three very beautiful halls, full time nurses, and a new Executive Director that has been a nurse and a DON for many many years. They love every one of the neighbors, and have amazing activities 3+ times a day plus exercises.

Takes outstanding care of their neighbors, Activites for the Neighbors are well thought out, trained Staff, Professional Management. I don't understand the bad reviews towards this Facility, every time I visit my family member, she can't tell me enough of how good they are treading her. Every time I talk to the Staff, I get treated very lovely, and even when I ask questions, they try to help me as much as they can. If I ever needed to bring in another family member, I would most definitely choose this Facility over any other in Taylorville. I really can't say much else to it other than the fact that the Bad reviews are not accurate. And when I asked Management about it, they explained to me what has happened with those families and that there are always people whom you can't make happy e

We moved our mother out of this facility in under 2 months and forfeited a $1500 move-in fee. Even though she was walking with a walker when she moved in, she was kept in a wheelchair while there and by the time she left she had lost her ability to walk. Even with keeping her in a wheelchair and having 2 alarms on her that were constantly going off, they still reported multiple falls to me. The activities calendar is a joke. I inquired about the exercise classes that were listed every day at 11:00 and was told that exercises were done individually throughout the day. When I asked about my mother's exercise they told me that that was when they helped her get to the bathroom. This facility is cut up into 3 different units. There is one unit that is new and very nice. The unit my mother

Unprofessional and untrained staff. We could not get mom out of there fast enough. From what I understand, the facility has completely changed hands from when they first opened. They are now 100% corporate/for-profit and the well-being of the residents is clearly not their priority. Avoid at all costs!

My mother was here for several months, with many MANY scares occurring. One thing I observed more than once was her unsupervised, eating 2 and 3 slices of pie with her fingers even though she’s on a 1500 calorie a day diet. Also, almost every time I came to visit, my mother didn’t have her cane (ultimately falling a couple weeks ago) and they never called an ambulance or asked the doctor for an X-ray of any kind. The nurse on duty didn’t even know which one of my mothers knees was fake, and didn’t bother to inspect the injury before calling me. She simply stated Your mother fell and I think her knee is possibly out of place. I can tell through her jeans that it looks lop sided but I’m not sure. She then asked which knee had been replaced. Just wow. How do you not know? My mother LIVES THER
