My mom has been a resident of Lutheran Hillside Village Assisted Living for several months. I can't say enough positive things about this community. Our initial tour with Victoria was terrific and my mom and I had no hesitation about signing up. It is a beautiful place, clean, well-staffed, active and sits in a lovely setting on Galena Road in Peoria. Mom has a one bed/one bath apartment and it is perfect for her. There are so many activities to choose from each day and the Assisted Living food is delicious! George does a terrific job of managing this dining room. The most exceptional thing about LHV is truly the staff! Everyone we deal with, from the administrators, nursing staff, receptionists, dining room, maintenance and housekeeping are so very good at their jobs! They all seem to truly like what they do and it shows every day. I can't possibly name everyone, but I wish to thank Sarah, Barb, Michelle, Edweina, Janet, Ky, George, Jason, Kathy, Ruthie and so many others for the excellent care they provide. It's such a relief to have Mom there. Thank you! Jodi F. Peoria

I moved here because my wife needed more care than I could give her at home. I enjoy my large apartment, and having many friends.
