Cambridge House of Maryville

Cambridge House of Maryville sits east of Anderson Hospital, right off Hwy. 162 in Maryville, Illinois, between I-55/I-70 and Hwy. 159, and offers seniors 65 and older an affordable and comfortable place to live, whether they need a little support or more involved care for things like Alzheimer's or memory loss, and you'll find they've got private rooms starting at $5,320 a month, shared bedrooms from $4,400, and 103 one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, each with their own kitchenette, private bathroom with a walk-in shower, carpeted living areas, linoleum kitchen and bath, mini-blinds, ample closet space, individually controlled heating and air, and emergency call devices so help's there when you need it. The place's a three-story building, wheelchair friendly, with Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, and areas where folks can gather, like a dining room, library, exercise and activity rooms, a television lounge, a beauty/barber shop, a gift shop, a patio, a convenience store, and you'll often see people joining in on arts and crafts, games, fitness classes, movies, devotions off-site, outings, or just visiting with friends and relatives who are always welcome to eat meals together in the dining room where meal service is nutritious and covers special dietary needs. The staff includes certified nursing aides around the clock, part-time nurses, cooks, and dietary aides that handle the food and snacks, and they can help with things like medication reminders, bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and laundry; plus there are regular health monitoring and nursing assessments for each resident, caregiver support for daily living, and a 24-hour emergency response system throughout. Activities keep days lively, and there's a full calendar of social, educational, and entertainment events, all focused on keeping up wellness, engagement, dignity, and independence. Cambridge House uses assessment tools and Montessori-inspired cooking and activity programs based on science and rehabilitation techniques to keep people involved and help maintain skills, and supportive living services here are set up for a range of adults, including those on financial assistance programs, with options for assisted living, memory care, and independent living. Gardant Management Solutions, the largest assisted living provider in Illinois, runs this place and has earned awards like "A Great Place to Work" in 2024 and the 2021 Bronze Quality Award from the National Center for Assisted Living, showing dedication to safety, cleanliness, and resident satisfaction. The doors are open from 8:00 to 17:00 Monday through Saturday, closed on Sundays, with 24-hour staff always ready even when the office is shut. Cambridge House isn't fancy, but it covers the basics-good care, accessible housing, help as needed, and a simple, neighborly environment where folks can feel comfortable as they age.
