My dad has been in a nursing home for the last 5 months. He had medical issues that are still on going. He did not need the nursing home at this point but still needed assistance.
Kim at Charter came to see him and me about transition to the assisted living there. I took a tour of the facility and was amazed. The facility was excellent and the staff I meet was amazing. I took my father who is 92 to charter and he was very excited in moving there.
We moved him in to Charter. The transition went very smooth. Kim and the staff helped me every step of the transition to Charter. And it does not stop there. The care I am sure he will get will be excellent. It has taken a lot of stress out of my life. I recommend Charter senoir living of Pekin to everyone.
Thank you Kim and staff.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing this place is. The staff is out of this world! It is so family oriented. They make everyone feel important, and very cared for. I have never experienced so many employees that actually sincerely enjoy their jobs. We feel very lucky to be part of this village. Thank you for making my Dad’s transition so easy and enjoyable.

The rooms at Charter are grand, very comfortable and updated. From the crackling fireplace in the comfortable lounging area to the birds chirping in the small courtyard Charter truly is a home to be proud of.

Dad enjoys the cozy atmosphere of the dining area with many options to choose from for each meal.

Charter staff have made my dad feel welcome and helped him acclimate to his new home.

Thank you all for making my dad’s transition easy and enjoyable. Kim, Alan, Jake, Amie and Emiley and all staff have gone above and beyond.

My wife and I strongly support Charter of Pekin to anyone looking for assisted living for a parent or loved one.

Warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive with a very responsive team that performs like a family eager to help.

The food prepared by the friendly chef and staff make meal time inviting.

It’s obvious their is a strong mission to serve as it shows in not only in the daily ongoing care, but also through the special activities.

I am so pleased to know that Cedarhurst is the right and caring place for our mother.

Our parents were married nearly 67 years when mom passed away recently. We began looking at assisted living communities in our area for dad and knew instantly that Cedarhurst was the right choice. The entire staff is absolutely wonderful, the food is amazing, and the other residents have welcomed dad with open arms. He has now been living there nearly 2 months and we have no regrets. Our family would highly recommend Cedarhurst of Pekin to anyone looking for an assisted living community.

My mom has just joined the community at Charter in Pekin and I could not be more pleased for her. She is finally finding some peace from all the worries she was dealing with trying to stay in her home of 65 years that she loved and thought she could never accept leaving. The choice for her was initially a very difficult one to make, but after researching and visiting a few places, she knew if she was going to leave the home she loved, she wanted to come to Charter where she was made to feel so welcome by everyone, including staff and residents.

The rooms are spacious and lovely and different sizes are offered. The size mom had hoped for was not available though, but an opening of a smaller size did become available. They thoughtfully offered her the chance to move in there and still keep her name on the list for the one she wanted. By making floor plans and using the space efficiently, we were able to get almost all of her treasures in the current room. She is now so happy where she is at that i doubt she will want to even move to the room she thought she would require!

Mom initially had worried about meals considering she has a lack of vision, but she will not go hungry! The personnel are so good about reading the menu to her and finding selections that she likes. She says the food which is brought to the table is outstanding. If she doesn’t show up to the table for her meal, someone always makes sure she is doing ok. There are always meal options to choose from and they will let her take the food back to the room if she wants to finish it later. She also has a small refrigerator in her room so she can have snacks for bedtime treats.

She is amazed at all the activities that are available at Charter. She has gone to a handful of them and had such a great time. She had gotten so used to being home alone and didn’t think she would want to leave her room, but she has found out she is enjoying spending time with people like she used to. It has been so good for her to be reminded that she is still a wonderful person who is fun to be around.

Kim, Alan, and Angi have become family and I trust that they and the rest of the staff I have met are looking out for mom with as much love as I could. Mom says every one of the personnel has been outstanding with their kindness, even when she has been having a bad day and needs a little extra TLC. It has been a truly great decision to have mom in this wonderful community!
