Belmont Village

My mom moved in March 1, 2014. We are so happy with Belmont, and the wonderful staff. The pals are so kind, and caring they have made her adjustment there go very smoothly. I am very pleased with all the supportive staff who make my mom feel like Belmont is her new home. Belmont offers all kinds of daily activities that the residents can be involved in. The dining hall is very welcoming and the menu has a large selection to choose from. We are thankful we have my mom in a place where she is cared for treated with respect, and shown so much love and kindness by all the staff. Thank you everyone at Belmont for making it a great place for our loved ones.

I feel my parents are quite happy with Belmont Village. I am pleased at how the staff have made them feel very welcome.

As far as the cleanliness goes, there is a distinction between the common areas and the individual apartments. I would rate the cleanliness of the common areas as a 5, but the apartments as a 3. Overall, the value is great. The thing that makes me the most happy is that everyone has been specifically trained to deal with memory impairment. Memory impairment is more than a physical impairment, but a mental and emotional impairment that has it's own quirks. The staff have a high tolerance level and I appreciate their hard work! They are required a certain number of hours of training. Also, there is always a fully registered nurse on staff 24/7. I wouldn't say anything but good things about the staff!

This place is wonderfully clean, attentive, friendly and has great entertainment. We don't have a long time to be able to review things overall, as my mom just moved in about a week or two ago. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that there was soooo much attention paid prior to moving in, and now that we are moved in, there is lots of help and support, but on the actual move-in days, it was hard to find someone to answer questions. I wasn't looking for help for the literal move...just to find out what is okay and what's not, where things are, what to do with empty boxes, etc. It was hard to repeatedly track down people, and frankly, I was bummed there was no one to "welcome" my mom with even the tiniest bit of fanfare or little note on her door. I was happy to see there was a beautiful welcome "tea" done very nicely at the end of the month for all the new residents. Since the initial move-in, the care has been tremendous, and not ONE employee is less than fun, friendly, gracious and wonderful. I think we have found a gem (and hope it continues!)

An Alzheimer's sufferer for several years, my dad had been able to continue at home, very self sufficient in most ways and under the sole care of my Mom when needed. Then a fall necessitated many quick decisions about his condition; where and how he would need to live. Through "Aplaceformom.com" we found Belmont Village in Glenview. We have been very impressed with both the facility and the staff. The facility is very nice, bright and cheery, clean and comfortable. The staff is professional, friendly and caring. Dad seems comfortable and well cared for. We are very happy with our family's decision to move him to Belmont Village.

We placed both our parents here, in separate rooms due to different care needs. Staff made everyone feel welcome and a part of the Belmont family. In fact, many of the staff treat residents as if they are family. Varied activities, with an enthusiastic leader, are geared towards residents' capabilities, and staff always available at activities for those who need extra assistance. Special events throughout the year, like golf tournament, casino, carnival provide fun and something to look forward to. Nursing staff is excellent, caring, competent. PALs are wonderful, gentle, compassionate. Dining hall is like a beautiful restaurant; food is attractive and tasty. The facility is beautifully cared for and decorated seasonally. Both parents passed away recently. Hospice was engaged for one parent. Both Belmont staff and hospice staff were so kind, gentle and understanding. Belmont was very supportive during end-of-life. Truly, we felt relieved knowing our parents were so well-cared for and loved.

The staff and facilities are wonderful and have made my Mom's transition to her new home very pleasant.

It was our second choice, it was just a little more ecostly as a non refundable deposit and that was a little bit prohibitive, it was like 4,500 dollars. WE felt very welcomed, it was a little bit larger than Sunrise, a little bit more sprawly because it was kind of laid out in sections instead of floors so I had less of a feel for where the people are.

I'm pleased with the level of care and the cleanliness of the facility, the food is fantastic, the only thing I would say, and I think this would be common to any place where you have someone is you still have to keep an eye on them to see what's going on. Little things happen that you just have to follow up on and follow through with, like they're supposed to change a specific caregiver that day and it doesn't happen so you have to follow up with them. Overall I'm very very pleased with how she settled in there. She was very resistant to going but she stopped battling and she seems to be content, it's really amazing. On the whole they're great, a 4.99 it's just that one thing, you still have to be vigilent, I trust them but it's like having a child, but I really couldn't be happier, if I had to move her somewhere I would look for a belmont village community.

We picked them because of the location and options offered. My sister is a resident there. She needed a facility that had a Memory Care Unit.

All of these facilities suffer from a turnover in staff. During our time at this facility, I have seen them transition to a new leadership team. That process was a little bumpy on continuity of services provided. The day to day staff that look after my mother are all very nice.

If you have a meal in the room, even if it's a peanut butter and jelly, they charge for it. He had diabetes, but no diabetes meal was given. Gave him orange juice every day. Overall, it was very expensive if you have no long term insurance. The staff was very nice!

I rated the admin staff low because they have had minimal involvement with me. The staff on my dad's floor which is the total care floor has been good for the most part. Regardless families need to be involved so that their loved one is getting the proper care. I would absolutely not leave their loved one there without the family being their advocate. The facility was recommended to me by a colleague of mine do we did not look at other options. If I did this again I would look at a few more options.

We picked this community because it seemed like the best place for my dad. It is good place to take of a loved one.

The staff are very friendly but at times they could work on communication with families

My mom has gotten used to the community and activities is having a good experience there. They’re rather expensive but they meet our needs well. I’ve referred a few friends there for their parent(s)

I would say that Belmont has done a fantastic job of hiring friendly people. On the other hand, working with their finance office has been challenging. It took quite a while to get our billing straightened out.

My mother is an introvert so she does not participate in many activities but they do offer many. Some more intellectual activities would be nice. Lectures etc. Staff and residents are friendly. Place is spotless. Food is adequate, few vegetarian options. Hairdresser is overpriced. Nice to have PT/podiatrist services within the center. Overall happy with our choice.

The Residents, staff and management were all lovely. My Mom is now in a wonderful Board and Care home after a fall and broken hip at Belmont. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families but only if you don't need a lot of assistance. Board and Care better if you need more care. They are just not staffed to give the care most people need, unfortunately. Lovely nurses and caregivers, just not enough of them. Our family experience was a positive one, friendly staff, great caregivers, overall a really nice community and lovely residents.
