Overview of Bickford of Peoria

Bickford of Peoria offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Peoria, IL. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. The Montessori Memory Care program identifies the community’s specific memory care approach.

Each resident has a private room and a single private living space. Respite care provides a short term stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since the resident can move between care levels without leaving the community.

A Walk Score of 53 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so some errands can be done on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain nearby destinations independently. Salon services provide personal grooming on site, while transportation services support trips beyond the community. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to continue living with a pet.

Overview of Hawthorne Inn of Peoria

Hawthorne Inn of Peoria in Peoria, IL, offers assisted living and memory care. Nursing home care and skilled nursing are the other two. Assisted living means somebody else handles dressing, bathing, and medication.

Wandering is what the memory level is set up to contain, with supervision inside a secured setting. Nursing home care and skilled nursing are the two levels where a nurse’s license is what the care runs on.

Rooms come as private or companion suites across 52 beds, so a resident either takes the space alone or moves in along with somebody else. Residential Alternatives of Illinois, Inc. operates the community.

What four levels under one roof buys a resident is that a change in need is not also a change of address.

A salon and spa, transportation, and pet friendly accommodations are also available. These options allow residents to receive grooming services, use community transportation, or bring a pet when they move in.

Illinois Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Illinois) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
