Belmont Village

Pricy, undergoing a big remodel. Many amenities a memory care paient would not have access to.Two floors of memory care. Third floor does not have access to outdoor space. Allows pets. Provides free transportation. Onsite 24/7 nurses. Visitor parking a challenge. One way exit.

Met with [name removed] for a tour and got financials. It is a lovely place, but [name removed] is checking with her head nurse to see if [name removed] would be considered with his extensive care needs. Not sure [name removed] would be comfortable there. We will see him on Monday and talk to him about it in case they would accept him.

Heavy emphasis on memory care, which is not a priority for us right now.

Tour was informative. Not sure that it will provide the appropriate level of care that I want at the price point that I can afford for my Mom. The community does seem to stress social programs that encourage and stimulate cognitive support for aging residents- which is very important.

The community was very beautiful extremely clean well maintained we were very impressed. The staff was really kind and you could tell they cared about the residents in talking with the staff. However, as you walked around we didn't see any residents out and about doing any sort of activities or visiting with any family or friends. Being so quiet almost reminds me of being in a hospital ward during quite a time.

We have been dealing with several issues here for my mom like seeing that she has stayed in her pajamas all day and because we do pay extra for the use of Circle of Friends we thought that they would be more attentive to our mother's needs. I have gone to management about all our concerns such as her empty oxgyen tank, not taking her to the dining room, monitoring her meds and hopefully these will all be addressed, but in the meantime, we make sure that we check on our mom daily because she can not remember things. I will say the staff is responsive and they have started taking mom to the activities and they bring her back to her room when she asks them to. This community is very nice and we are hoping to keep our mom in the assisted living are for as long as possible that is why we are pay extra for that extra care for her.

Belmont Village Geneva Road was a clean community that we toured. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I saw that they were doing activities in the hallways and it seemed that the rooms were too small. We chose another community for our current needs.

Belmont was a nice small community neat and clean and the staff did a great job with the tour answered our questions but it just was not the right fit for my mother as the rooms were too small. And she did not feel like she would fit in here.

We toured this community for my father, and his needs. The tour went pretty well, everyone was kind. The staff we met was polite, and informative. They answered all our questions. It was a good experience, but we did not feel this was the right fit for my father, and his needs.

I toured a very nice community but I didn't like their a/c unit in the room. They built a wooden box that took too much space and it had sharp edges. For a fall risk that concerned me. It was located in an area that can get congested with traffic. For us to visit, there would be a traffic issue.

We were not crazy about this place for US. Whereas it might have been fine for others, and I could see some advantages, especially with the ability to rehab there, and the ability to make the transition from independent living to assisted living without having to move. The pool was great! The rooms were not appealing to my mother in law. In a hig-rise, you have a different set up, but we found the rooms dark and a bit cold. The dark flooring did not add to the lack of ambience. Also didn't get the sense that there was a big emphasis on full time activity direction. Since this was very important to us, we kind of wrote this place off.

Decided that Oak Park was just a little too far from family & friends...never toured Belmont Village. Have heard many wonderful things though.

Probably the most positive thing I had seen at this community was the memory care unit and all of the great classes and activities that are available to help them throughout the day. I just did not need the level of care that they had at there facility for my grandmother. It just was not the right fit for her and was very expensive on top of that.

I was a little overwhelmed by how big this community was when I had taken my tour. There was a lot of residents and because of how big it was my mom would have been separated into a group. I did notice that they did have a very high end menu and everything was very modern in the dinning room. It was just very expensive and not the right fit for my mother.

My mom was at this community. The staff was nice,but we did not get everything we had thought we would get here. The food was appealing with a variety. Activities were offered to her here. The staff was friendly, but we needed more care for her. I would not recommend for others at this time.

The gentleman I spoke to at this community was a very kind. He was informative and answered my questions. He did inform me he didn't think they would be able to provide to level of caring my mother needed. I appreciate that he did not waste my time.

Very far from home. Closer to Church. Did not like set meal times. Unorganized upon check in. Given misinformation on who I was meeting with. Seemed under staffed. Didn't like med mgt. location. Residents not happy. Parking troublesome. [removed] Plus too far for health care. Doctors were beyond the 10 mile limit. Deal breaker. Just not right fit.

Actually I would rate as 3.5 stars at this point. My husband is doing well here at this community. There are a few things they need to improve on. It is a nice looking community. They keep the community neat and clean. The staff is great, but some of the caregivers leave a little to be desired. They don’t pay attention to certain things and some don’t seem to have much common sense. There are great activities offered. He loves the food, which is a big plus. I'm comfortable with the care, and I would recommend this community.

Our experience with Belmont Village was somewhat mixed. We placed two loved ones here, and while it worked fine for one of them, the other required a higher level of care than they were able to provide. I think they could have been more thorough in the care evaluation, so we could have avoided having to move her in and then back out again. However, they are doing a good job with the loved one who stayed, and I think it is a nice place for someone who matches their level of care.

This place did not feel right to us. It was very expensive and too big with 200 residents in Assisted Living. Most of all, we didn't like the feeling that we were in a hotel. I will not be taking my parents there for a visit.
