    Excellent therapists, poor facility conditions

    I had mixed feelings. The brand-new rehab unit and my mom's physical therapist were excellent - compassionate, helpful staff and real improvement during a short stay. But the place is chronically understaffed with slow or tied call-button responses, poor communication from administration, and alarming cleanliness issues at times (sticky floors, mold, vomit, no water), plus awful food. If you need short-term rehab it can be good; for long stays or Medicaid patients I'd be very cautious.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment is mixed and highly polarized: several reviewers praise the facility—especially the rehabilitation services and individual caregivers—while a substantial number of reviews raise serious concerns about cleanliness, staffing, communication, and food service. The most consistent positives are centered on short-term rehab outcomes and individual staff members; the most severe negatives involve perceived neglect, poor hygiene in some areas, and administrative unresponsiveness.

    Care quality and therapy: Many reviewers specifically call out strong rehabilitation and physical therapy services, reporting patient improvement and recommending the facility for short-term rehab stays. A number of family members stated that their loved ones loved their physical therapist and experienced meaningful improvement. Conversely, other reviewers reported very poor nursing care, neglect, and at least one account alleging near-loss of a limb—indicating that clinical quality may vary substantially between cases or units. In short, rehab/therapy appears to be a clear strength for some residents, while core nursing care is inconsistent according to multiple complaints.

    Staff and staffing levels: Reviews repeatedly describe direct-care staff as pleasant, helpful, and compassionate, which aligns with positive experiences. However, there is an equally strong and recurring theme of understaffing and inefficient staffing patterns: high patient loads, poor staff-to-patient ratios, delayed or non-responsive call-button responses, long phone wait times, and instances of staff not responding to needs. This combination suggests that individual employees may be providing good bedside care when available, but systemic staffing shortages or scheduling problems are negatively affecting reliability and safety.

    Facilities and cleanliness: Comments about the physical facility are mixed. Several reviewers describe a brand-new rehabilitation unit, very clean areas, themed rooms, and a beautiful courtyard—features that contribute positively to resident experience. At the same time, other reviews allege significant sanitation problems: filthy rooms, sticky floors, vomit and food left in rooms, mold in air conditioning units, and lack of basic supplies (no water). The divergence suggests either variability between units/areas, differences in expectations, or fluctuations over time in housekeeping effectiveness.

    Dining and food service: Food is another area with polarized feedback but leans negative overall. Multiple reviews describe awful, cold, bland, or tasteless meals with poor presentation and no condiments; management and food service were explicitly criticized. A minority said the food was decent or acceptable, but the predominant theme is dissatisfaction with meal quality and service consistency.

    Communication and management: Several reviews raise concerns about communication and administrative responsiveness. Family members report difficulty obtaining information, no return calls, and poor communication from administration. There are also mentions of questionable COVID-related restrictions. Management is called out specifically in connection with food service and overall operations. These themes point to problems with transparency, family engagement, and leadership responsiveness.

    Safety and accommodation concerns: Reviewers mention falls and double/shared rooms as additional concerns, and some report being transferred out after short stays due to poor experiences. Reported issues such as tied call buttons, slow responses, and understaffing raise safety red flags in several accounts. The presence of both single and double rooms, small lounge spaces, and courtyard access were noted—some positive, some limited.

    Patterns and likely interpretation: The reviews indicate a facility with notable strengths in rehabilitative services and individual staff compassion, but with systemic weaknesses in staffing, cleanliness, food service, and administrative communication. The contrast between glowing rehab/therapy experiences and reports of neglect or unsanitary conditions suggests variability by unit, shift, or time period. Prospective residents and families should weigh the strong rehab reputation and helpful staff against repeated reports of inconsistent nursing care, housekeeping issues, poor food quality, and management communication gaps.

    Recommendation summary: For short-term rehab patients focused on PT and recovery, the facility has multiple positive endorsements and a brand-new rehab unit that some families found excellent. For long-term care or for residents with complex medical needs who require consistent nursing oversight, reviewers’ safety and cleanliness complaints and reports of poor communication suggest caution—families should visit in person, ask specific questions about staffing ratios and infection control, and monitor responsiveness before committing to long-term placement.

    About Accolade Healthcare of Savoy

    Accolade Healthcare of Savoy sits in Savoy and provides a mix of care and services for older adults and people needing rehab or medical help, and the place opened in 2017, which makes it a newer option in the area, and it's big enough for up to 213 residents, mostly living in a skilled nursing setting that's both Medicare and Medicaid certified, and with all those beds, people staying either long-term or for short stays have access to all kinds of services, from simple help with bathing, dressing, and toileting, to more complex medical needs like IV therapy, tracheostomy care, G-tube services, diabetes injection help, wound and drain care, feeding tube support, dialysis assistance-really, lots of in-house care such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus nutrition services and a whole range of other rehab services, so folks recovering from surgery or illness can get therapy right where they live without needing to go somewhere else, and with Telehealth access available, people can talk to doctors from their rooms sometimes, while a nurse practitioner is on-site to check on medical needs.

    Accolade Healthcare of Savoy also runs a Memory Care Wing with 15 secure units for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, where dementia-certified staff and an on-site executive director make sure the routines match what residents need, and that memory care area has its own dining, courtyard, and therapy setups, so folks can get a more peaceful setting, and activities are planned to be both engaging and simple, with games, social events, and some special programs for people with memory loss, while other residents in the main sections of the building join planned activities too, eating in communal dining rooms, taking part in group events, or spending time in indoor and outdoor common spaces.

    People who stay short-term-or whose families need a break-can use respite services either in the main skilled nursing areas or the memory care wing, and the place also works with local hospitals like Carle Hospital to help people transition back home after an illness or accident, all while having options for outpatient therapy and cardiac care.

    The building uses some advanced technology, like a two-way call light system so residents can reach staff easily, and the care staff includes both licensed and registered nurses, as well as specialists in different types of therapy, all of whom are trained for the kind of health needs you find in a big skilled nursing facility.

    Housekeeping, meals (with a restaurant-style menu and special dietary options), laundry service, medication management, transportation help, wound treatment, and both indoor and outdoor lounges are available to everyone and designed to fit with routines or preferences, whether someone needs help with feeding or just wants to take part in group meals with others.

    The facility is part of a group with other locations in Peoria, Danville, Pontiac, Paxton Senior Living, and Paxton on Pells, and has earned Joint Commission accreditation, which means there's some outside oversight for quality, but there's no claim of any fancy awards-just a focus on health care and community involvement.

    Overall, Accolade Healthcare of Savoy is set up for people who need various levels of nursing help or memory care, especially those wanting to stay in a place that can handle both short and long stays and offer rehab, hospice, or respite care alongside daily living support, and those services are all provided in a setting where staff look after medical, personal, and social needs with a simple and direct approach.
