Allure of Lake Storey sits on West Carl Sandburg Drive in Galesburg, offering long-term care as well as short-term rehab for people needing a place between the hospital and home, and while you'll find 180 certified beds here, the staff supports all kinds of senior care like Assisted Living, Independent Living, Adult Care Home, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing Facility services, with state licensing and a recent management change, now led by Samantha Meyer since December 2023. The facility's known for skilled nursing care where residents get daily room and board, help with bathing, dressing, and medication, and round-the-clock supervision with nursing coverage for 12 to 16 hours a day, a 24-hour call system, and a nurse on site, and while the staffing offers 4.54 nurse hours per resident each day, nurse turnover sits at about 32 percent, which is a little higher than some places, yet a professionally trained team of caregivers, therapists, managers, and lifestyle coordinators work every day.
Some services support people dealing with home care, home health, hospice, and referrals, with telehealth options when residents can't make it to the doctor, and you'll find plenty to do here since resident-run activities and things put on by community groups happen often, plus there's entertainment like movie nights and music programs, a fitness room, spa, sauna, walking paths on the grounds, and wellness programs, with special areas reserved inside for arts, games, reading, or just relaxing. There are services for folks who need help with continence issues, catheter care, and urinary tract infection prevention, but there have been deficiencies in how quickly and fully care plans get put into place and sometimes with how continence care is managed, so that's something the administrators are likely watching closely these days.
Allure of Lake Storey's connected to Allure Healthcare Services and owned by Serenity Rock Island Holdco LLC, and though there's no accreditation from any outside group, they do encourage tours where families can meet the customer service staff, ask about senior care options, look at the different rooms and common areas, and get help figuring out what services might fit best, plus there's a brochure and web form if someone wants to inquire about next steps, all during office hours from Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Residents benefit from a range of amenities and a calm environment that tries to build a sense of community and well-being, but as with any facility, it helps to visit and see the place for yourself to decide if it meets your needs or the needs of someone you love.
