    Outstanding attentive care, supportive staff

    I moved here after a bad experience elsewhere and the difference is night and day. I get outstanding, attentive care from friendly, consistent CNAs (no rotating part-timers), supportive administration, and staff who want to know my family. The admittance exam was thorough (PT assessment, TB test), they hold frequent care meetings, and they call me quickly about any changes. Activities are engaging with an involved director, housekeeping is personable, meals (including puréed diets) are accommodated, and my room is clean with a lovely courtyard/meadow view and new activity-room carpet - rooms could use updates and the layout can be confusing. COVID precautions are followed; it truly feels like heaven on earth, though it's pricey.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews for Apostolic Christian Skylines is strongly positive, with the most consistent praise aimed at the quality of hands-on care and the personal warmth of staff. Multiple reviewers highlight outstanding care delivered by attentive, compassionate caregivers and full-time CNAs. Reviewers repeatedly note that the facility maintains consistent staffing (same full-time CNAs rather than a rotating set of part-timers), which contributes to continuity of care and builds relationships with residents and families.

    Clinical intake and ongoing care processes receive favorable mention: reviewers describe a thorough admittance exam that includes a physical therapy assessment and TB testing. Families appreciate proactive communication—staff are reported to call quickly about changes and the facility holds frequent care meetings. Dietary needs appear to be taken seriously; pureed diets are accommodated without issue. Administration is described as professional and caring, and multiple accounts call out the empathy and compassion of both direct care staff and management.

    The social and activity environment is another consistent strength. An engaged Activities Director and visible activity presence were noted, contributing to an active day-to-day life for residents. Housekeeping gets positive mention for being personable, rooms are described as clean, and staff deliver warm greetings and a welcoming, home-like atmosphere—several reviewers used very strong language (for example, “heaven on earth”) to describe the emotional and aesthetic feel. Outdoor spaces and views (courtyard, meadow, trees, flowers, sunlight) are repeatedly praised, and at least one recent interior improvement (new carpet in the activity room) was pointed out.

    Facility and room-related observations are mixed. While many reviewers find rooms pleasant and note a “nice room” and courtyard views, there are repeated comments that rooms could use updating. The new carpet in the activity room shows investment in common areas, but some private spaces may benefit from refreshes or modernization. A few reviewers described the facility as confusing—this likely refers to layout, signage, or onboarding/orientation processes for new residents and visitors rather than care quality, but it stands out as an area that could be improved to make transitions smoother.

    Dining is viewed positively overall, with reviewers calling out a good menu and proper accommodation of special diets. Infection control and safety measures are also acknowledged: reviewers note adherence to COVID safety guidelines, which reinforces the sense of professionalism and attention to resident well‑being.

    Cost is the most notable area of concern: reviewers specifically describe Apostolic Christian Skylines as pricey. That, combined with the need for some room updates and occasional confusion around facility navigation or processes, suggests the main areas for improvement are physical refreshes, clearer orientation/wayfinding, and possibly clearer communication about pricing and what it includes.

    In summary, Apostolic Christian Skylines is portrayed as a warm, well-run community with strong clinical intake procedures, consistent and compassionate direct care, an active activities program, personable housekeeping, and attractive outdoor spaces. The dominant strengths are in staff quality, communication, and resident-centered care. The primary drawbacks mentioned by multiple reviewers are the relatively high cost, some need for room updates, and occasional confusion about facility layout or procedures—issues that, if addressed, would complement an already highly regarded care environment.

    About Apostolic Christian Skylines

    Apostolic Christian Skylines sits in a quiet, wooded area by the Illinois River in Peoria, Illinois, where you'll find that it offers a wide range of care and living options, so people really don't have to go anywhere else once they move in, and there are independent living duplexes and apartments for those who want their own space but would rather not worry about chores or house repairs. The community also provides assisted living, which means residents can get help with bathing, dressing, taking medicines, and things like that when they start needing it, and, for folks facing memory problems like Alzheimer's or dementia, there's a special memory care center with pass-code entries, personalized activities, and smaller groups so each person gets the attention they need for brain and memory support. Skilled nursing care is handled by people who know a lot about health issues older adults face, and when somebody needs help after an accident, stroke, surgery, or illness, there's rehabilitation therapy that aims to speed up recovery and help people get back on their feet if possible, and the medical community in Central Illinois has recognized the quality of these services. There's also home care, so people living in their independent duplex or apartment can get things like bathing help, meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, transportation to appointments, and health monitoring right at home, and for folks who need a short stay, there's respite care too. The grounds and buildings are clean and well-kept, and the place centers its approach on Christian values, aiming to treat everyone with love, respect, and dignity-really focusing on each person's needs with both compassion and practical care. Each neighborhood at Skylines keeps a smaller group of residents to make sure care stays personal, and there's an activity center, a library, a sewing room, and regular programs for social connection, including volunteer opportunities. For family, there's a family portal and strict rules for visits-everyone in the building has to wear face masks, there's a limit of three visitors per resident at a time, visits should stay in the resident's room, and kids must stay masked and keep a bit of distance. The community is licensed for Peoria County and the five counties around it, so you'll see people from the larger area, and the staff is devoted to the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of everyone living there. Skylines encourages as much independence as possible but is ready to help as needs change. The facility's office hours run Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. There's a focus on privacy, safety, and social connection, including support for Facebook and social media, but no telehealth services at this time. Volunteers add to the community feel, and efforts go toward supporting healthy transitions between care types so people can age in place comfortably and safely.
