I was in an extremely difficult spot when A Place For Mom suggested Illahee for my dad. Jess, the director, and her amazing staff, were so kind and helpful! They could see how stressed out I was and assisted with everything they could. Jess helped me find the perfect room for dad. Luckily, they give their residents call buttons in case they fall. He had a heart attack and being there, and having that fall button saved his life! Illahee is clean, beautiful, and welcoming. No one place can be everything for everyone all at the same time, aka they aren't perfect, but no place is. They do all they can do for everyone they can, and that is as close to perfect as you're going to get. Thank you all for showing my dad and I such kindness!

Very nice home with nice rooms and great food service.

My best advice before you move into any retirement home is talk to some of the long term residents, not the residents that the retirement home picks for you to talk to, but go look for residents walking around or at lunch, do this without any staff members looking over your shoulder, because you do not want them to influence the residents in and way, if you're loved one has Alzheimer's do not go to a retirement home that says "Independent Living" please do your homework before you make a move.

Seems like a nice place to retire to.

Just helped my mom relocate and was having a very difficult time finding a nice place that is affordable, clean, loaded with services and amenities, and all existing within a great atmosphere; however we found all of that and more at Illahee Hills. Jess, Geoff, Joe, many other staff members and existing residents have been so helpful in just the short few days leading up to and including my mom moving in this week. The staff really care about their residents and families and we are grateful we came across Illahee (actually we caught word through another positive review/referral from a family member of a past resident). My mom also needs some other support services (both outside and part of the community) and Jess has been phenomenal in finding solutions for my mom. This move needed to occur for my mom in a very short period of time and all the extra time, effort and hard work by the fine people at Illahee have made this possible for our family, which has provided much needed peace of mind knowing mom is happy, comfortable, safe and very much welcomed here. Cannot say enough about what everyone has done to make this transition for my mom stress free. Sincere thanks and gratitude to everyone - wonderful community!

I love that my Ma has found a place where she feels like she is safe, yet independent and she truly feels like a valued member of this community. People notice when you aren't there, and they care. The activities are fun, Chef Joe is awesome! All the staff treat us like family and welcome us to join in if space allows. The real value to me is in the family atmosphere, even to non residents like me. The furniture, paintings and art in the halls also really make it feel good to be there. We definitely appreciate Illahee Hills doing their best in keeping things affordable for people on a fixed income. Thank you!

Enjoyed the atmosphere, dining room restaurant feeling, the activities, movie room, drumming and exercise, different apartments, windows with bright sunshine coming through and view of nature, near churches, the library, grocery stores, etc. Great additional caregiving services from places like Golden Heart Senior Care.

Illahee Hills is a wonderful facility for my mother. The staff is very caring and genuine in their attitude and care for my mother. They answered all my questions to my satisfaction. My mother has a lovely appartment that she can thrive in and care for her dog. Illahee Hills is conveniently located close to me so I can visit when I am able. I have peace of mind knowing that my mother is having her needs met.

Best place ever.

Denyce Dar was very helpful in finding a fit in the Illahee community for our loved one . She was courteous and conscientious to his needs . Even when we met with a snafu or two, she stepped up to the plate to create a plan for success . The place is neat and clean overall . Our loved one is very happy in his own one bedroom apartment and services rendered in the facility . I would recommend a visit for anyone looking to rehome a loved one . Becki Sullivan

Worked here for roughly 7 months. Heres my experience: The residents (for the most part) are great. Theyre extremely friendly and happy to socialize with both employees and guests. The complex is quite large, which can be a good thing, but it also entails the difficulties of moving long distances for residents that struggle with walking. However, I havent really witnessed this problem ever really occur. Working here was mostly quite simple. You serve the residents their food, you clean up some dishes, serve a second course when required, and then clean the tables entirely. Depending at the time of day and day of the week, you may have additional jobs such as cleaning the floor or dealing with the trash in the building. However, these jobs arent that difficult, and just add for additional pay, if nothing else. Other employees, at least at the time, were quite friendly and helpful towards newer employees. For my first job, I felt quite at home. Id also like to note that, if hes still working here, the Chef, Doug, is one of the greatest people Ive ever met. Hes akin to a father figure, even. He may be a little harsh on employees, but hes only doing it to help them out, and Im very glad that he treated me the way he did, because it simply encouraged me to work better. Activities at this place seemed to be somewhat lack-luster, and quite scarce. However, after being given the opportunity to manage or assist in activities, I found that a decent amount of the residents were quite pro-active and were happy to participate. Working in this position was definitely enjoyable, and it put a smile on my face to see how many residents were still getting out and taking their opportunity for recreation when they had it. However, at the time, there was a glaring issue, and the sole reason why I left. The management of this place is just a mess. Managers come and go, and no one in a management position has really stayed more than a month. Their reasoning is beyond my understanding, but I assume its just not fulfilling to work under holiday retirement. In the span of the time that I worked, there were 5 managers that had overseen the staff and the building, and they were all very different. It just led to the place constantly changing, and this wasnt really a good thing. Residents had trouble adjusting each time, and both new and old employees were frustrated by the inconsistency. Also, employees all faced with major inequality. With the same jobs, some people were making 10 dollars an hour on their first day, while others, who had been working at the building for several months, werent even considered a pay raise. Polite requesting didnt change this. Age, previous work experience, gender, race, werent factors into this. It was simply given to people who asked for more money on the first day. Because of this. almost all of the previous co-workers that I had seen at Illahee left, even for jobs as just as simple and low-paying. Ive seen several co-workers quit just to work at the McDonalds down the street, and others quitting to work at a gas station. Its a nightmare. Overall, its a really great place, with a great community, but theres just something wrong with the management at Illahee. But, dont quote me on this. It could have very well improved after the time Ive been gone. But Im personally not willing to risk my time to return here.

Ive never experienced anything bad here while visiting my grandparents and they love it here. They are well taken care of and have never expressed concern about anything. You only hear the bad experiences, but what about the hundreds of good experiences? You cant base an opinion off of a couple folks when there are way more satisfied clients that dont access the Internet often.
