The staff is wonderful! The management personnel are always so friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, all with their own balcony. You can arrange for PT and OT on site. There are many activities throughout the week and occasional outings during the month. The dining option specials are only so-so, but breakfast, sandwiches, and salads are very good.<br>Urbana built me up from the ground to the point I could move independently out of state. I could go on and on about all the positives. My sons found Urbana for me and I'm so glad they did.

My parents have lived at Urbana Senior Living for about 4-5 years now and we have been very happy here! We have seen Urbana make many changes over the years to improve care, food, response times and the wellbeing of residents. If there is ever a concern, we bring it up to leadership right away and it is handled. The community has truly been amazing and Shelly Tennessen (marketing) and Corie (activities director) have both been cornerstones of the community since day one. They provide steady, trustworthy leadership at Urbana, along with bringing the FUN and light to all residents!<br><br>When it comes to changing care plans, if there is a health event, the nursing and staff has been able to accommodate cares - even if it is literally overnight. This has given us a lot of peace of mind as a family<br><br>The more I hear about assisted living experiences at other communities, the more grateful I am for our experience and care at Urbana! The caregivers and team really care about their residents and work hard to make sure everyone feels at home. We love it here!

Urbana Place is an AMAZING community! We feel so blessed to have been able to move our mother here and she is so happy. Shelly Tennessen is incredible and moved mountains to speed up our moving process. She and the entire staff are caring, friendly and treat everyone with warmth and kindness. This community is very special, lots of activities and fun things for residents to enjoy. Thank you to all of you at Urbana for making our mother feel so welcomed and cared for

This place is highly delightful. My 101yo father is treated with respect and the staff is attentive. The facility itself is modern, clean and maintenance work is done promptly. The residents seem to engage with the activities Urbana provides. My father along with other residents I have meant, seem to enjoy living at Urbana.

The move to Urbana was good for Mom and family. At age 91 Mom broke her hip and we knew she could not live by herself alone at home where she resided for more than 60 years. We started looking for a nursing home and got direction from 2 families that have their Mom at Urbana . We set up a meeting with Shelly (marketing) and were impressed with the building, staff and the apartment in assisted living that overlooked the patio. 18 months have gone by and now the alzheimer's disease was really kicking in. After falling 2 times, breaking her wrist and arm, staff, doctors and family made the decision to move her to memory care. She now gets the extended care she needs from staff and has made friends ("gal pals"). It's a good feeling knowing she is being well cared for. We are grateful for the kindness and encouragement you provide for Mom.<br>Thankyou<br>Mike<br><br>Mike
