Deposit? I can't remember any such thing in 2005-2006, where my Mother was concerned. But we had an eldercare lawyer (Coulson) working on her behalf. In my/her experience, there was a couple of residents who would watch TV in the middle of the night-this one had satellite TV, I think-and the staff would say OK, so long as they were notified. And if any one of the residents desired a snack, say like an ice cream sandwich, or jello, no problem. I was able to visit there twice a day (twice a day keeps the staff on their toes), and came away with the impression that this nursing home wasn't all that bad. This was the Edwardsville Nursing and Rehab Center located on Il 143. Neither local home didn't make my cut at that time.
