My friend moved to McKendree Village in 1996, initially in a cottage. Later she moved to an apartment in the Towers and in 2020 she moved to Assisted Living because she needed medication management. She is grateful for the forward thinking of the Methodist Church to establish McKendree those many years ago, even though it is no longer owned or operated by the church. Even with several ownership changes, she continues to be grateful for the safety and comfort of McKendree. And she is happy to know that there are still more levels of care should she need to utilize them. We have good communication with staff, and they all love her - and she loves them. Go McKendree!

The McKendree assisted living facility has been good for dad. He kept to himself the first week or two, but now he has become involved in organized activities. He enjoys bingo and the sit-and-fit exercise class. The exercise class is helping him feel better. He is walking outside when weather permits and is happy when he is able to walk farther. He is also receiving physical therapy. At 93 years old, he is doing very well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dad likes Tasha, Tanya and the medical staff. Margaret was very helpful and responsive when we were first considering moving dad to McKendree. Overall, we are happy with our choice. It's so much better than dad living alone.

My mom has been there since March. She really loves it there. The facilities are nice and offer more than the other places We looked at. Margaret was great showing us around and explaining how everything worked. She helps mom with stuff when needed. Tasha make sure that mom gets first level care. She is very patient with her and listens to her....Tell her long stories from years ago. Tanya works with mom, Daily. Helps keep mom in line , obeying the rules and being part of the community. Miss Donna is in charge of the activities and keeps them pretty bus And running around Outside.. They all love my mom , I understand why she likes living there. I even met the cook, my mom had buddied up to him to get extra deserts.... I need to let him know to stop, she has gained to much weight! Best place around especially for the money.

^^ I’ve never had a single issue with my loved one’s care on the third floor. The staff has always been wonderful, and I truly appreciate and love the care that’s been provided. Tanya especially has been such a comfort — she’s medically available when I need her, quick to answer any concerns, and she always follows up without me having to chase her down. She’s helpful, patient, and truly cares about the residents and their families. Having someone like her involved makes all the difference.

We moved my parents into the Assisted Living facility at The McKendree earlier this year. The staff went out of their way to help them adjust to the move and were, and are, quick in their responses to me and my siblings anytime we have a question. Mom broke her hip a couple of months after they moved in and was in their skilled nursing facility for a time. While there the staff would check on my dad throughout the day to be sure he had everything he needed. The DON, Tasha, was instrumental in getting mom back over to assisted living so my parents could be together. My dad went on hospice in early fall and passed away. The nurses and staff were compassionate during this time ensuring their needs were being met. Mom continues to receive excellent care from the nurses, CNAs, and techs. I am thankful for the staff and would recommend this facility to anyone looking for a place for their loved one.
