Such a Wonderful Experience
We have such a wonderful experience at the villas. My grandmother lived in the community she loved it there. It was hard for her to leave her Family farm but once she adjusted which the staff did tell us would happen. The staff is wonderful! They are so helpful.

Very caring place
My grandma is currently housed here and absolutely loves it. They offer tons of activities to keep her busy. She is a fall risk which is why she can no longer live on her own so they keep a good eye on her and inform us if anything goes wrong. She always has good things to say about the food and staff there. Highly recommend!

We love this place!
I am incredibly grateful for the care and support provided by The Villas at St. James Assisted Living. From the very first visit, I felt welcomed and reassured by the friendly staff and the beautiful, clean facilities. The environment is warm and inviting, making it feel like home rather than just a place to stay. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that all residents are comfortable and well-cared for. The caregivers are attentive, compassionate, and always take the time to listen to the needs of my loved one. It’s clear they genuinely care about the residents' well-being, both physically and emotionally.

Never a Dull Moment
Our Grandma lives at The Villas at St. James. She is always busy doing something with her friends. A few weeks ago, I called her to chat and she told me that she was busy playing dice she would have to call me back. I love that there is something to always do. Before moving she just stayed home and have little interaction- now she is back to being the social butterfly I remember growing up! The staff is outstanding, [name removed]really helped our family with the transition from home to The Villas at St. James. Everyone is always so helpful!

It’s a great place to live!
Our family is very happy to have grandpa at The Villas at St. James. He didn’t want to leave his home but [name removed] made him feel comfortable. He sits with “the guys” and enjoys meal times. They take the bus for rides which he loves since he can no longer drive. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It is a great place.

Overall, I would have to say that anyone who would want to live at the Villa's would have a very positive experience.
The apartment's are quaint and cozy, and the overall facility is always very clean. Additionally, they have a wonderful Courtyard area, and have lovely outside patio areas for residents to enjoy. Also, they conveniently offer hair and nail salon services for the residents, as well as, lots of activities like, playing bingo, card games, working puzzles, listening to music, watching movies, and going on outings for shopping, dinner or lunch!

Mom's new home.
My mom moved into the Villas in August 2023. I was very impressed with the level of compassion [name removed] expressed toward my.mom who was not thrilled with the idea of giving up her home. Since resist g at the Villas mom's health and mental state have approved greatly. She interacts with the other residents which has helped her depression when she lived alone. Her only complaint is the food which I take as a big win if this is all she has to complain about. She loves the staff and other residents. I feel so relieved knowing she is safe and enjoying her time there.

Perfect place for Mom
Since day 1 we have been very pleased with the Villas at St. James. Everyone is so kind, caring and patient. Mom is very happy living there. There are many activities for her to partake in if she wants. She really enjoys the entertainment opportunities and church services. We have not used the transportation service for local appointments, but knowing it is available is a plus. We know she is being well cared for and have absolutely no concerns. The staff is truly amazing!!

They make my dad feel special
From day one, everyone at the Villas at St. James was friendly and helpful. Dad was fighting us a bit to stay in his house, but after a terrible fall it became necessary that he have more help. He has gotten the help he needs, yet retains his dignity and independence. He looks forward to staff from management to housekeeping coming to visit him at his "apartment". They always seem to be friendly and have a bit of time to talk. He occasionally complains about the food and then other times says it is good. He's gained some weight. He loves to go on field trips on their bus and visit with friends (old and new) on his porch. It's been a great experience for both of us.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Illinois regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Villas at St. James

Villas at St. James offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Villas at St. James 9.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
