Discovery Management Group

As a geriatric APN, I had many opportunities to visit the independent living communities in my area and when it came time to choose, I chose Discovery Village Des Plaines! The community has met all my expectations; the location is close to my family, the quality of my apartment, excellent meal plan, friendly interactions with my fellow residents, the ability to transition to assisted living when needed, and value for the investment.

The staff at OITP is so thoughtful and caring. They are always accommodating for my parents needs or with anything we ask of them. The executive staff are always pitching in to serve meals if need be or even escort residents to meals if there is any confusion on the part of the resident. Basically whatever needs to be done they will jump in and do. Very friendly place. The employees and the residents are friendly and usually have a smile on their faces. It is a comfort knowing my parents are there because they are safe.

[name removed] gave me a tour of the place and a one bedroom apartment the apartment was nice and the place seemed OK. I appreciated the information and [name removed] kindness. I also met with an [name removed] who works for a separate company that provides the care for the people that live there she was nice and helpful as well. This was the first place that I had visited so I’d like to see some other facilities so I can have an idea of what to expect. Finding an environment that’s safe and has the level of care my parents need is so important as well finding an environment that they can thrive in.

My family recently toured the Shasta Senior Estates facility in Redding last week on behalf of my 88 year old father. It is a lovely, well maintained facility for independent seniors. We were greeted by [name removed]. He provided a comprehensive tour and lots of information about the lifestyle and culture of the facility. My father will be in need of a more structured program based upon his specific needs. I recommend Shasta Senior Estates, it is a lovely place with lots of activities for independent seniors.

I was impressed on your facility. Was very clean. Staff was friendly clients look happy being there. My tour went very well and everything was explained to me, and all my questions were answered. I would highly recommend your place to other family and friends. My mother is on Medicare and Medicaid which doesn’t help very much since 100% of this is out-of-pocket, therefore I wish these type of facilities were less expensive.

Everyone was very nice. Apartment is small but very nice. I was impressed with all the community spaces and cleanliness of everything. I look forward to joining the community and moving in tomorrow.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at this facility for about nine months. The facility is always clean and I can tell my mother-in-law has been very well cared for. She is happy there and enjoys all the activities.

My family and I are currently navigating the assisted-living and now memory care phases for my mom. Mom has lived in assisted living here since March of this year. The transition was handled with grace and dignity, extreme caring and very attentive and competent caregivers. We are now transitioning to memory care although it is difficult. Everyone has contributed to Mom‘s success in this journey. After extensively, researching and visiting numerous places in Gaston County, I am confident to give a review of five stars and encourage you to experience what they have to offer at Morningside.

My parents and I took a tour of Hilltop Estates. [name removed] was our host and he was very thorough and professional, explaining everything along the way. Hilltop is a first class operation and I can see it in the eyes of the many residents. A very clean and newly renovated place. Meals were good and a very accommodating atmosphere. This would be a great place for your parent or parents who are ready for independent living

This place is absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in and was greeted by [name removed]I knew my mom was going to be in great hands. Studios are spacious, the looks well prepared. I'm so happy I found this facility after nearly 10 months of searching.

we were welcomed by several of the ladies and we look at a unit Very impressed with the apartment and the faclity. Loved the outdoor patio with cool breeze blowing through. Everyone was very nice, Visited with two residents and received some valuable information.

Happy residents. Great staff. Good food. Smells great. Felt residents are lovingly treated. Very homey feel. I would like to think that in my long in the tooth years that I will be lucky enough to reside somewhere just like Morningside.

The Sales Manager was very courteous and professional in explaining everything to us. We liked the spaciousness and facilities offered. The general appearance was clean and functional. The menu for all meals looked very well balanced.

Our family’s experience with Discovery Village at the Dominion has truly been a positive one. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the overall atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, and cozy — exactly what we hoped for in a memory care community. The memory care side uses the SHINE program, which has been wonderful for keeping residents engaged, stimulated, and supported throughout the day. I can genuinely tell the staff cares about my father. They leave encouraging notes on his board, greet him every time he comes and goes, and make him feel known and valued. That level of consistency and kindness means the world to us. The transition into the community was incredibly smooth. We were on a tight timeline and needed placement within a week, and the team went out of their way to help us get everything arranged quickly and with no added stress. It felt effortless on our end, and we are so grateful. Most importantly, I feel safe and confident knowing my father is well cared for, surrounded by people who treat him with respect, patience, and genuine compassion.

Very nice facility. Living space divided into 3 pods with rooms along the perimeter. As much like home as a facility can be. Only downside- communal showers. Large shower room with 3-4 shower stalls and a jetted tub. I am not a fan of that set up.

They have friendly staff, great activities, fair food and dining, apartment is adequate size with new floors and carpet and new appliances, but old cabinets . It was easily the best deal of the three places we visited.

Homeplace has made the transition for my mother moving to ALF seamless. The staff truly care and strive to make each residents experience great. They have gone above and beyond for my mother and our family. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Overall, Mom has been very happy there. The facility is very clean and her housekeeping service has been good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is access to a home Healthcare company which has been helpful. Administrative staff is friendly, helpful and communicative. Food is good but the variety could be better. Recent changes made in response to resident requests. New ownership has made great improvements to the activities list and there are a lot of options. Well worth the cost which seems to be lower than similar communities nearby.

For more than seven years this home has been a wonderful place to spend my golden years. I feel very fortunate that I found the Chateau when I began this last chapter of my long life.

I feel very comfortable here and made many friends whom I feel very close too. The staff who I have the most dealings with are friendly, caring and very helpful. They are concerned about when I am hurting. I have two little companies who are also made my life happy and enjoyable. I am looking forward to many happy years here being close to family.
