My mother was brought to this facility yesterday from Carle hospital. She sat in her soiled clothes for several hours! Apparently you do not provide garments, but you let her sit there wet and she is a diabetic! Not to mention you stopped her medication for her heart! Very upsetting to hear my mom say she will not live in that place for the next month. Tried calling no answer... very upsetting to start her 1st day there like this.

My friend Creighton was in rehab at Accolade in Paxton for 3 months. He asked me to relay this review: “The nurses and CNAs are very nice and helpful. The therapy staff was excellent and helped me a lot. It’s a nice clean place and the food is decent.” I will add that my friend is extremely disabled, and this stay is the first one that was exceptional compared to other facilities he’s stayed in.

My name is Chris, I am 46 years old, and the journey that I have been on this past year to date, lead me to the Paxton Senior Living Center. To go back in time, I sustained bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture in October of 2024. Multiple surgeries later and I am able to walk with the assistance of a walker and leg braces . In November of this year, 2025, I fell and landed on both knees, this ended up causing a staff infection in one of knee joints. I went to the ER, had surgery, when my stay in the hospital was completed with, I went to Paxton Senior Living Center for acute rehabilitation. The rehabilitation was geared to help me gain strength back so that I could go back home and live on my own. I was not to sure about going to a facility like this, but after speaking to a representative of the Paxton Senior Living Center that visited me at the hospital, I decided to go. She, the representative, said they have a great rehabilitation program there. So, on November 26th, 2025 I was transferred there from the hospital. As soon as I was brought to my room I was greeted by the staff even the director of admissions (Holly). The nurse that completed my intake was great and understanding of my situation. From that day on, everyone of the care giving staff, the food service staff, the housekeeping staff, the administration staff greeted me by my name and was always concerned about my wellbeing. The second day I was at the facility I was evaluated by OT and on the third day I was evaluated by PT. I arrived on a Thursday and the following week was in OT/PT rehabilitation. The CNAs and Nurses made sure that all my medical needs were met as needed. I had PT/OT Monday through Friday. The facility itself is very clean, housekeeping cleaned my room and bathroom everyday. The meals provided by the food service were good. The medical staff was great including the nurses and CNAs. I would recommend this place to anyone in search of care facility as such. I was there for a total of 20 days and it was really sad to go. It felt like everyone there kinda became family.
