Gardant Management Solutions

I would recommend Heritage Woods of Manteno. It is extremely clean. It is bright and cheerful. They have lots of activities, and fun parties. The food is excellent. My mom lived there for 2 years. The staff is very helpful and caring It is a good value as well.

We chose it because it's in town and we can easily both get over and see mom, first and foremost was location, secondly, they do take medicaid if and when she runs into that problem. My sister had her mother in law there and they felt fairly satisfied with it. It's a sad situation, you can never feel 100% about doing this, it's not the facility's fault, its the discomfort with having to place someone there and the person you've placed not beign happy there but she really couldn't stay alone anymore. I actually think what's happened has probably been really good, everybody was really nice, the food is great, I loved the food, there's always a choice (she says its not like home cooking), she get's a little exercise, she's always been a good walker and they did say they'd try to find her a walking partner but that never happened; that may be a difficult thing for them to find there.

My mother wasn't happy with the food there but I think that was just her. It was a very nice facility. I never had any issues there at all, we just relocated. Thier staff was very nice.

Facility combines compassion, competence and safety. My mom receives well balanced meals, timely medications and care as needed. We are fortunate to have located this fine facility.

My son, daughter and I visited and were extremely impressed with staff. I have scheduled three days to be with them to discover even more about them. They gave me information about VA benefits and I have attended a meeting with my son and daughter.

I though this place would have been really good. We really thought about going here. Their activity package is a five plus! They're wonderful about providing things to do. They have all kinds of outings, a bowling league. They actually have a travelling bowling league. They go to concerts. Pretty much everything happening in Rockford, they have a little trip to. Their calender was just packed. It's more independent living for healthy, active seniors.

We chose this community because it was recommended by Lauren at A Place for Mom. It has lots of activities for the residents. The community is very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall it is just a great community that we are pleased with.

First impressions--very nice. Director called everyone by first names. Everyone friendly. Nice apartments. Dad can't stay there is he falls. Waiting list.

We chose this community over the 4 others we looked at because of previous experience with it when my mother was living here years ago and because it was the best value for the price. My mother had just had such a good experience here we decided to use The Fountains again, but this time for my mother in-law. The rooms are more spacious then other comparable communities especially for the price. They have plenty of activities but it is up to the residents to participate and get involved. The community is surrounded by trees and they get really thick around back. With it being surrounded by trees it really secludes the community in a very good way because it keeps it nice and quiet. The food is pretty good at least that is what I am told, which is a very good thing. You really get what you pay for and even a little more. We would recommend The Fountains to anyone looking for a community.

Heritage Woods was recommended to us as having a good program for its residents. There is a memory care unit that elligible residents can transfer to if needed. When we toured Heritage Woods the staff introduced us to other residents all of whom seemed to enjoy it there. The introductions were spontaneious and not one resident had anything bad to say. We felt comfortable putting my mother there.

We chose West Park Place because when we visited they gave wonderful personal attention. On the tour the staff addressed residents by their names, they weren't just using a generic "hi." They knew about their residents. The residents were active, friendly, and out & about. We were pleased with the four other properties we toured but at some we didn't see people out & about, it may have been the time of day, but the activeness of West Park Place is really what drew us there. The staff is excellent. We live a ways away but they allowed us to stay and help our loved one get acclimated. We are very pleased, there isn't anything we are not pleased about. It is too early for us to be able to rate the activities, it seems they have a wide variety but our loved one has not participated in them yet.

The staff tried everything to help my love one adapt. We are satisfied with our experience at Brookstone Estates. The location was a deciding factor in picked Brookstone because there was not much else for the elderly in the area. We have a unique situation so it is hard to rate the value, care services, and activities, however, the survey does not allow for those categories to remain blank. I would recommend this place to others.

The primary reason for choosing the Village at Westerville was the fact they allowed my mom's little dog. The Westerville Retirement Center is exceptionally well appointed, very clean, and my mom who is in Independent Living likes that it does not have the feel of a nursing home. The staff is very welcoming and she has a nice apartment with bedroom and living room. Her meals are provided, they offer a great variety of food. My mom had been losing weight because she had become disinterested in cooking for just one. She picked this place because there are people like her there and she can join them for conversation, meals, and activities. Transportation is also available to different destinations and shopping centers. My mom pickwas the one who picked this place it met all of her requirements, most importantly allowing her dog to live with her.

wonderful facility, close to our home,have progressive care available without moving, 2 meals per day, transportation free, religious services $2675, nice size apartments

Positive. Had lunch, spoke to residents. Very friendly. Did not pay attention to activities calendar.

We liked the location as it is closer for other family members to visit her as well. We will definitely keep this as a top 3 to take Mom for a visit.

Very nice looks just like home. People very easy to talk to and understand.

My mom might really like this one Will have to check out pricing

Toured and LOVED Heritage Woods. I am thinking that's the place for her.

Loved this place, very friendly and the place was very comfortable looking. Loved the little apartment. Price is workable, will probably put the $500 down to get on the 3 month waiting list.
