“As a beginner searching for a memory care unit for my dad, Kristyn Durre went over and above educating me and providing me with names of additional facilities to try. Even though Sugar Creek may not work out for my dad it sounds like a good place, especially if all the staff are like Kristyn.”

About these figures
Computed on October 21, 2026 from the 14 communities listed in Normal, 439 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
