Crosstown Square Senior Living - Silvis, Illinois

Lana S.

My mother lived independently for 95 years. Gradually, it became evident she could no longer manage her day to day activities. A family friend suggested Crosstown Square in Silvis. We scheduled an informational visit with the director, Lanette Paper. Upon entering Crosstown Square, the “homelike” feeling was welcoming, and friendly.
My mother has been a resident now for over a month, and is slowly adjusting to her new community and environment. The staff and residents have been encouraging and supportive during her transition.
She has benefited from the access to socialization, services, activities and meals. The meals are nutritious and offer a variety of options. Crosstown’s philosophy of care allows people to live independently despite the challenges that often come with aging.
Given that I live out of town, I am relieved knowing my mother is safe, no longer alone and is receiving assistance as needed. For both of us a big advantage is she is able to maintain a sense of independence and autonomy.

Crosstown Square has been an exceptional facility for my mother that is in her 80’s.. She moved in over a year ago and has had a great experience there. She has made friends, enjoys her apartment, and the staff is very caring and engaging. Plus the benefit of them having a few guest rooms to rent when we come to visit makes it easier than ever to spend time with my mother. The facility is well maintained, she enjoys the meal service and the daily conversations with her dining room table mates. The planned social activities keep my mother busy and engaged in activities with her neighbors. It made the potentially stressful transition from her home of 62 years to an independent living apartment very easy. Thank you Crosstown Square.

This was my first job, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start! I graduated from UTHS and completed the ECHO CNA program, doing my clinicals at IRC next door. When I toured this community, I instantly fell in love, and now, over two years later, I still love every moment. The residents here are truly the best. I love connecting with them and hearing their stories. The independent living experience here is unmatched! The activities keep everyone engaged, the food is amazing, and the sense of community makes this place feel like home. Plus, being connected to the hospital provides an extra level of peace of mind.

I also have the best coworkers and boss! We’re all dedicated to making this the best place for the residents. Seeing them happy and enjoying life here is the most rewarding part of the job! ❤️

Crosstown Square is an amazing place! Every single staff member is kind and so helpful. My Mom is greatly enjoying living there and she participates in many of the daily activities and is so much happier. Blessed to have found Crosstown Square.

It’s coming to my mom’s first full year at crosstown. Can be hard to catch her in her room. She’s out walking on the outside path with beautiful oak trees were taken part in all activities. knowing she has so many friendly people around her comforts me when I’m not there. We also enjoy having lunch or dinner together. Food is very delicious and a wide variety.
It’s a relaxing atmosphere, Home.

From literally the first time I went to tour the Crosstown Senior Living in Silvis, I had already heard about it being a good place to live from a dear, trusted friend, whose mother had moved there. Then, after a fall, and more significant mobility challenges, it became more and more apparent how much I needed a totally handicap accessible affordable apartment.
This grandma began praying even more for God's faithful guidance to what HE knew would be the just right place for this season in my life-journey . And it took only a few visits there to believe Crosstown to be His answer to my prayers for this season of my life- journey.
Even on my first visit, Crosstown 'residents' were so warmly welcoming to me. I could sense a close, comfortable camaraderie with each other. As a couple of them expressed to me, it was like family living there.
That same warmth and gracious hospitality was wonderfully evident in the Crosstown director, Lanette, during the tour and her attentive consideration and time in answering my many questions.
The same hospitable tone Lanette set resonated with the gifted activity director, Bernadette and the caring heart of Patty, the resident assistant. The activity calendar looked like a wonderful variety of inspirational, social, fun, activities , and outings.
I might have the name wrong, but I remember vividly her caring heart when she shared with me how many years she enjoyed being on the Crosstown team. The same was true of the cleaning lady, who must be also excellent at her job, because literally, every room and hallway was immaculate.
Each of the staff members whom I met, certainly seemed to be at Crosstown as a ' labor of love'.
... Last, but certainly not least, my gratitude to Darlene, Ruth, Sherry, and each of the Crosstown family whose warm welcome I really appreciated, and look forward to becoming neighbors with you. God bless you one and all !!!

My Father, Robert has just celebrated his 1st year at Crosstown Square in Silvis IL and as his daughter I must shout out how amazing the staff is! Dad is so happy and I know he is well looked after. As a blind, independent, focused man I need to thank everyone at Crosstown and especially Lanette for her professional leadership skills and guidance to all! Their activities, food, staffing, cleanliness, involvement and appreciation shows daily! Keep up the amazing job! It is noticed and I am grateful!

My mother is 95. She has been at crosstown for 5 almost 6 years. We searched for places, visited places and took our chance on Crosstown. My mother couldn't be more happier, as well as myself. The people there are not just "workers" but are down to earth caring people. All though it is independent living, they check on their residents. They are fed all 3 meals, have holiday parties, and music get togethers. Not just for residents, but family of residents as well. They go on bus trips to restaurants, or just to see the Christmas lights, or just on a nice summer day to get them out and take a drive. Picnics in the parks too!
I have built a friendship my self with the people that work at crosstown. We could not have picked a nicer, more pleasant place for my mom. Well, mom picked!! But she is so happy and mentions all the time she is so lucky to have chosen Crosstown Square. What a blessing they have been for us. Thank you crosstown staff for all your work and caring attitudes.
