    Kicked out despite veteran services

    I was kicked out by owner/management and even insulted as a veteran. They charge veterans high monthly fees, provide no transportation, and the place was unbearably hot (about 105°F). It's family-run and not-for-profit with veteran-focused services, decent cleanliness and donations to good causes, and a local minister helped me - still, I was advised to stay away.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in these reviews is mixed but leans toward concern. Positive notes emphasize the facility’s nonprofit, family-run, and veteran-focused identity and that it provides assisted living services and resource acquisition for U.S. veterans. Several reviewers explicitly call it a one-of-a-kind operation and mention that donations support a good cause, and at least one comment highlights cleanliness. However, these strengths are counterbalanced by multiple serious operational and management issues raised by other reviewers.

    Care quality and services: Review content indicates the facility provides assisted living services and attempts to help veterans obtain resources, which is a significant positive for those seeking veteran-focused care. Cleanliness is specifically mentioned as a positive, suggesting basic housekeeping and hygiene standards may be acceptable. There is no specific information about clinical care quality (medication management, nursing competence, personal care details) or about dining and activities—reviews do not provide evidence in those areas, so those aspects remain unknown from the provided summaries.

    Staff and management: The reviews raise major concerns about management and staff behavior. At least one account alleges that a resident was kicked out by the owner/management and that insulting language was directed at a veteran. These are serious red flags about resident treatment, conflict resolution, and respect for residents. Although the facility is family-run (which can produce a close-knit atmosphere), the reports imply that personal or ad hoc management decisions may lead to abrupt evictions and inappropriate interactions. A local minister’s intervention in one case suggests community members have had to step in to help, which can indicate inconsistent internal supports.

    Facilities and environment: A standout negative is the reported extreme indoor heat—one mention of temperatures around 105°F. That level of heat suggests significant problems with climate control, HVAC maintenance, or emergency preparedness, and poses health risks, especially to older adults and veterans with medical vulnerabilities. The lack of transportation is another facility-service gap noted; for assisted living residents, absence of scheduled transportation can limit access to medical appointments, social activities, and community resources. There is no specific commentary on dining areas, common spaces, or physical accessibility in the provided summaries.

    Costs and veteran-specific issues: While the facility markets itself as veteran-focused and helpful with resources, reviewers mention high monthly charges for veterans. This creates a notable tension: a nonprofit, veteran-centered mission on one hand, and perceived excessive costs for veterans on the other. Potential residents and family members should seek clear, written explanations of fees, what services are included, and any veteran-specific financial assistance or subsidies before committing.

    Reputation and recommendations: The user-level takeaway from several comments is caution—one reviewer explicitly advised others to "stay away." That, combined with reports of eviction, verbal disrespect, high charges, and dangerous heat, forms a pattern that could harm the facility’s reputation despite its nonprofit and service-oriented positioning. Conversely, the positive notes about being family-run, unique, and mission-driven suggest the facility may genuinely aim to serve veterans and the community, but execution and operational reliability appear inconsistent based on these summaries.

    In summary, prospective residents, families, or referral sources should weigh the facility’s clear veteran-focused mission, nonprofit status, and reported cleanliness against serious operational concerns: allegations of eviction and disrespect by management, high veteran charges, lack of transportation, and potentially dangerous indoor temperatures. Because several critical areas (clinical care details, dining, activities, staffing levels) are not addressed in the available reviews, it would be prudent to request a detailed tour, review written policies (eviction/discharge, grievance procedures, fee schedules), verify HVAC and safety protocols, and ask for references from current veteran residents or their families before making placement decisions.

    About Haven House

    Haven House, listed in Marion, Illinois under unique identifier 384117367, is a family-run nonprofit that provides many types of care and services for seniors and veterans, and lets everyone feel right at home, especially with how people say it's so clean and comfortable, always calling the staff awesome and the place wonderful because everything's kept tidy and the environment feels homey. This place does assisted living, memory care, adult day services, and long-term skilled nursing for folks who need help every day, as well as home health care and non-medical home care for those who want care while living elsewhere, and there's special support for hospice care when it's needed, so people can stay comfortable even as their needs change. The care is always personalized, with tailored plans and 24-hour on-site help, so residents get medication reminders, rides to doctor visits, one-on-one help with benefit paperwork, and job-seeking help if that's something that matters, and there's plenty of group meals, outings, and events to help people stay social. Haven House especially focuses on veterans, offering a 10-bed home with a safe, family-type place to live, whether someone's able-bodied, disabled, or homeless, making sure each person gets help following up on benefits, and working to get folks transition support and a real sense of community, even planning for more beds and new shelters-like turning a building into an 80-bed shelter in Southern Illinois and setting up a 20-bed shelter in Murphysboro for short stays with onsite support, plus there's plans for independent living for 10 local veterans who need that next step. The staff is made up of trained healthcare professionals and support workers who make sure each resident has access to therapy rooms, activity areas, and accessible facilities for those with mobility needs, and the building is always tidy with plenty of amenities to keep everyone comfortable and well cared for. The place also holds a deep sense of purpose, with programs and funds for animal welfare, veterans and military help, homelessness, and other humanitarian needs, because Haven House runs as more than a living facility-it's a charity focused on community support and nonprofit services. There's even services connected to Meta Platforms with things like Meta Pay and Meta Store, making sure digital communication stays open for those who want or need it. Everything at Haven House is designed so people with complex needs, mental health challenges, or those who just need a little extra help can have a place that's safe, calm, supportive, and most of all, feels like home.
