Monastery Pointe sits at 3737 N Marybelle Ave in Peoria, IL, and runs as a nursing agency facility with the General Manager Ron Sahni in charge, and you'll find a variety of care options there like assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite, skilled nursing, and hospice, all under one roof, which makes things easier when needs change over time, and for folks who want to keep living at home longer, trained home care aides can stop in to help with non-medical support. The place has several living options, like studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, semi-private spots, and special apartments such as Cedars of Lebanon Apartments, Liberty Village of Peoria, and Southside Manor Apartments, plus you'll find detached homes, condos, and townhomes too, so whatever your tastes or needs, they try to have something that'll fit.
They've put some care into making sure the property feels both secure and pleasant, using a security gate and offering outdoor areas with walking paths, patios, a butterfly and hummingbird garden, an indoor atrium, and a courtyard. There's pet-friendly housing for dogs and cats, but you'll want to check that your pet's under the weight limit, and common spaces like a TV room, a game room, billiards lounge, arts and crafts center, woodworking shop, a computer/media center, and even a library offer plenty of ways to be social or just enjoy a quiet hobby. Staff provides transportation, both on-site and nearby, with options like property shuttles and access to public transit, plus essential trips like grocery shopping and errands, which makes daily life simpler.
Monastery Pointe serves nourishing meals with attention to nutrition and dietary needs, including vegetarian menus and support for residents who have special diets, or who need meals high in certain vitamins or minerals, so most find food here suits their health needs. Dining choices include a shared dining room, private dining spaces, and kitchens in-room for those who want to prepare something themselves, and there's even a full laundry and dry cleaning service offered. For daily living, there's help with things like bathing, dressing, getting from bed to wheelchair, medication reminders, and staff stays around the clock for emergencies.
For healthcare, the staff supports many needs: they watch for wandering or confusion, and use wander guard systems to keep memory care safe, so people with dementia or Alzheimer's can stay protected; they help with diabetes by either letting residents self-manage or offering staff assistance with blood sugar checks; visiting dentists and podiatrists take care of teeth and feet, and physical therapy comes through contracted therapists for ongoing rehab right on-site; they provide wound care, medication management, endoscopy, dialysis assistance, and mental health services; plus an outpatient clinic allows follow-up for several health conditions. There's a barber, beauty salon, and spa services, so residents can get personal care taken care of close to home.
What makes Monastery Pointe feel different than some senior communities is the effort to make communities feel safe and social, with movement programs, social events, and devotional services both on and off-site. They support speakers of many languages, including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Armenian, Arabic, Tagalog, Croatian, Vietnamese, Farsi, Hungarian, Hindi, Polish, Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, Romanian, and Russian, aiming to help everyone communicate more easily. Residents can pay using all-inclusive rent, rent plus care fees, and other simple systems, and the place accepts private pay, social security, veteran's benefits, and commercial insurance, though there are fees for various care levels, admissions, and respite stays. Staff emphasizes dignity, privacy, and independence, helping each person keep their choices and routines while providing the support they need for a safe, healthy, and social life.
