August 20, 2018

Phillips Investments, LLC is proud to announce the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Villas of Holly Brook Assisted Living and Reflections Memory Care community. Join the celebration Wednesday, August 23rd at 5103 West Dirksen Parkway, Peoria, IL. Everyone is invited to share in the festivities and learn about the Bellevue project.
Morton Community Bank is financing this assisted living project. It will be an upscale private pay 50-unit assisted living with an integrated 24-unit memory care community. Reggie and Chad Phillips have been working with Mayor Terry Johnson; Chris Setti, CEO Greater Peoria Economic Development Council; and other dignitaries to finalize plans. “We’re pleased by this vote of confidence,” said Chad Phillips, Phillips Investments, LLC partner. “We pride ourselves on the care we provide, and it will be an honor to serve families and seniors of the Bellevue area.”
Unique Homes, an award winning design-build firm that specializes in health care and upscale construction, is the general contractor for the 74 unit facility. The site selected for the 65,000-sq. ft. facility is on a 12+ acre parcel of land in the Village of Bellevue. Residents will be able to enjoy their state-of-the art community with beautiful common spaces and interior courtyards nestled into picturesque surroundings in summer of 2019.
Reggie Phillips founded Unique Homes and has over thirty years of dedication and experience in the construction industry. Now with a decade of development, management and marketing services of senior living communities, this state-of-the-art facility promises to provide the very best lifestyle for seniors at an affordable price. The principals of Phillips Investments, LLC – Bellevue Facility Series have a combination of experience, talents, and in-depth industry knowledge that makes them exceptionally well qualified to serve their residents’ needs. Beyond all this is the quality of life the Villas of Holly Brook and Reflections Memory Care can bring to your loved ones.
The Villas of Holly Brook Assisted Living and Reflections Memory Care community will serve approximately 140 residents ages 65+. The residents at the Villas of Holly Brook can choose from one bedroom, two bedroom or two bedroom deluxe apartments. One low monthly fee includes three delicious meals a day plus snacks, 24 hour medical supervision, Personal Response System, inspired daily activities, spacious common areas, beautiful courtyards and so much more. Never do laundry, housekeeping duties or lawn maintenance again (unless you want to). Do what you enjoy most and let the staff take care of the rest.
Reflections Memory Care residents can choose a suite with private bath. They will enjoy three delicious meals served daily, 24 hour Refreshment and Beverage Bar, assistance with all activities of daily living, and RN medication management. Memory care therapies include the Therapy Kitchen, Sensory Room, Horticulture Therapy, Art Therapy, Music Therapy, and fun cognitive activities in a secure environment provided by compassionate staff members.
The Villas of Holly Brook and Reflections Memory Care communities have been exceptionally designed and built. “These facilities are crafted with utmost attention to detail at each level from the architecture to the floor plans to the décor and even the landscaping. The extensive list of amenities in addition to the professional level of compassionate care reflects our commitment to creating a lifestyle which will exceed your expectations,” states Hadley Phillips.
The interior layout of this beautiful community will encompass the latest trends in the industry - elegant, yet still comfortably designed for today’s generation of seniors. Chad Phillips states, “The upscale décor will be accented with luxurious interior furnishings and finishes. Each resident has access to a personal response device which can be utilized as needed 24 hours a day. Point-Click-Care monitoring of resident care sets us apart from our competitors. We are excited to be true pioneers in the use of technology to improve the lives of seniors entrusted to our care. Every element of technology we employ is designed to improve quality of life as well as connect our residents to their loved ones.”
Bellevue marks a milestone in the expansion of the Villas of Holly Brook business operations as it continues to develop a broad portfolio of life-transforming assisted living and memory care specialty communities for seniors. This faith based, family owned and locally operated company has eighteen communities in Illinois and one in Indiana. They opened the first Villas of Holly Brook community in 2008. Presently the Phillips family owns the Villas of Holly Brook and Reflections Memory Care communities in Bethalto, Bloomington, Charleston, Chatham, Gibson City, Harrisburg, Herrin, Monticello, Morton, Pekin, Rantoul and Washington, IL plus Brazil, IN. Construction of new communities includes Belleville, Collinsville, Danville, Jerseyville, Mt. Carmel, Springfield and Streator, IL plus Bradenton, FL.
Reggie Phillips remarked, “Each of our communities have high scores with the Illinois Department of Health. We are especially proud of our top performing communities. The Villas of Holly Brook and Reflections Memory Care communities have earned ten Deficiency Free State Surveys. This distinction is held by less than 1% of assisted living communities in the nation. This demonstrates our commitment to providing our residents with the highest quality of care and recognizes the dedication of our professional staff. Each is passionate about having a positive impact on those we serve and rest assured that this is the care we will bring to Bellevue as well."
He went on to say, “With our focus on growing exceptional assisted livings and memory care specialty communities, we will continue to expand services throughout - creating excellent paying jobs with great benefits. Pekin, Morton and Washington are close to our Bellevue project which emphasize our commitment to seniors in need of services in the area. This project will serve the needs of seniors and provide economic growth opportunities to the greater Peoria market. We appreciate all the support provided by area officials for this project. We welcome the opportunity to give you a tour of one of our award-winning communities so you can see why families say the Villas of Holly Brook and Reflections Memory Care are Simply the Best!”
Betty Riggs has been a resident of the Villas of Holly Brook since they opened and probably conveys the resident perspective best. She states, “I don’t care what was promised, life at the Villas has delivered more. I love my new family here and life is so much better than I could have hoped for. I came because I needed help but what I received was so much more - a wonderful family with helping hands. I was in a rut at home eating simple meals that were easy to prepare, but the food here is so awesome! I rarely went out at home and life was boring, but at the Villas we have so many activities daily to choose from and special outings each week. My son says he has never seen me happier in recent years, I think he’s right. They say Family is Forever . . . that’s especially true at the Villas of Holly Brook.”
