I have lived in my cottage for 2 1/2 years and love it. My home has plenty of storage space and I really love the sun porch. Activities include a great wellness center and wonderful library. Many of us ride bicycles and tricycles so the administration created a place on campus to store bikes over winter. They saw a "new need" and responded to it. When the pandemic arrived the administration responded immediately. They keep themselves educated about what needs to be done and provide guidelines for us to live by to protect ourselves. They established a little grocery for us to buy "basics" to avoid many trips to a large grocery. Instead of holding the dinner for people whose birthday is that month they now bring dinner to our homes, even coming back for the dirty dishes! I can't thank the staff enough for helping me through this pandemic. They have gone out of their way to show kindness, understanding, and leadership. Moving here was the right decision for me.

This property seems ideally suited. I was very impressed with the staff, amenities, and overall feel. I'm waiting for further information.

My mother has been a resident at GVS for the past 8 years. She and all members of our extended family have been thrilled with the wonderful food, high-functioning and complete wellness center, activity opportunities, and all the many kind, dedicated employees. I've been tremendously gratified to see that the GVS administration is so proactive in keeping residents safe during Covid-19. Many new procedures have been implemented with regard to personal delivery of all meals, home health aide availability, and other safety precautions. A full-time IT employee even helped my mom set up zoom, so that she and I are able to see each other every day remotely. There is an excellent medical clinic on mom's floor that helps with her medication adherence; there's also a terrific physical therapy center on the GVS campus that has helped with various physical issues. The list goes on. . . . I am so grateful that GVS exists, is so well-run, and has so many high-quality and motivated employees.!

The residents made us feel so welcome in our new home. To us it’s all about the StoneRidge family. That’s what makes all the difference. We did not have an overwhelming need to come to StoneRidge at the time but rather could see that it fit well with our changing life style. We love to travel and what better “home base” than StoneRidge. Our large home was becoming more of a burden to care for and we knew that in a few years it would be even more difficult. [name removed] provided the incentive for us to transition to StoneRidge rather than wait. So we did…right at Christmas week of 2019. We had almost three months of the great StoneRidge experience with all its amenities before the dreaded pandemic came to Mystic. Executive Director [name removed] and her talented staff quickly initiated a plan to keep us safe and healthy. We are happy to be in our new home with lots of new friends. Soon we hope to start our travels again.

Thank you [name removed] for doing everything you did to make the move of my folks to Clarendale happen. So many time-sensitive pieces. Most impressive to me is your ability to overcome objections. You sold me on your follow up call when we backed out. You are professional at what you do. Thank is for sure. Many thanks.

My mother lived at Clarendale of Mokena for 4.5 years. We could not be any happier with the care she received. Thank you to the manager and staff! She loved living at Clarendale of Mokena.

I am very appreciative of the excellent care that my Mother-In-Law receives at Greenwood Village South. We moved her from another local assisted living facility to GVS more than two years ago and the difference in quality is immeasurable. From the conscientious staff to the vastly superior meal quality, GVS has much to be proud of. The staff is not only welcoming and supportive, they are results oriented and actually get things done. In all of our interactions with them, up to the most senior managers, they have been courteous, professional, and responsive. This responsiveness provides tremendous peace of mind to our family, especially in this time of continued social distancing. For that we are grateful and I can not recommend Greenwood Village South more highly.

Lovely community with loving staff! So safe and caring. Well managed and great food. There aren’t enough words to describe what a fantastic place this is. Everything you need in one place. Definitely worth the time to visit.

Such marvelous workers. For all you do to make me feel good every day. Thank you so much.

One of the things I'm very thankful for this holiday season is having a safe and happy place to live. Thank you for all you do to keep us safe!

Due to COVID we have not been able to meet any staff members in person, but over the phone they have been very good and very helpful. We do know the meals are good, because our loved one brags about them.

Clarendale has many attributes including the staff, building, and location. The surrounding community of Bellevue offers convenience to store, restaurants, a grocery, and a pharmacy. During the multiple visits, the building was bright and clean due to the friendly and caring housekeeping staff. The nursing staff on the assisted living unit was kind, caring, and thorough. From my initial contact, I found the Director of Sales & Marketing to be personal, caring, and knowledgeable. Her strengths included her communication and follow-through.

As a long-time Greenwood resident and being active in the community, I have been aware of the stellar reputation of GVS through community contacts and friends that have been served in some capacity by Greenwood Village South. However, it was not until recently that I began to truly realize the depth of the caring, compassion, and dedication of the staff and administration at GVS, all of which has become even more evident during the recent pandemic crisis when the safety, comfort and care of all GVS residents has remained as the paramount concern and goal at GVS. Although GVS continues to gain national awards for its excellence in serving its residents, it is evident that the primary goal of GVS is to provide the utmost in care, comfort and quality of life for its residents. I am proud to be associated with Greenwood Village South, even in a small way, and I would invite you to become better acquainted with GVS for any senior living needs you or your family might have.

I would highly recommend Greenwood Village South for anyone looking for senior living options for themselves or a loved one. [name removed] and team go above and beyond for not only the residents, but each other too. They are passionate about what they do and make everyone who walks in the door feel welcome.

I am a private caregiver and have been in this industry for over 20 years. I have had clients in more than 15 different facilities and communities and not a single one of them even come close to Greenwood Village South. The staff is amazing and the administration's communication with residents, families and employees is admirable. I love going there!

Lovely, everything one could wish for

We chose this community as the place to move my Mom in a few months. She lives in another state and can’t come visit so they have sent her videos to show her the apartments and included her in a Christmas party. We’re excited to get her here closer to us this spring. We know she’s going to love it.

They have a musical program, art, games, and a garden center are just some of the activities available for the residents to choose from. My loved one has been in this community for a while and they haven't cooked one night since their first night. Even with a kitchen in their room. You have to buy your apartment, and then there is a monthly fee for all the amenities.

It a great place, it fairly new, and the staff has worked hard to keep the residents engaged and happy. They are very protective and patient with the residence. Their Covid has been amazing and they are great at communicating. I would recommend the facility to others.

After a poor experience in their first independent living community, my in-laws were on the hunt for their “forever home”. After scouring the Western Suburbs for that perfect fit, they landed at Clarendale of Addison. From the moment we walked into this facility we were warmly greeted and met with nothing but patience when asking a variety of questions about life at Clarendale. We signed on the dotted line the next day and planned for an early April 2020 move in. And then, COVID. Transparently, we were panicked. We had already given 60 day move out notice at their current residence, signed a lease with Clarendale and put a deposit down with a moving company. Sensing our worry, Clarendale stepped in and assured us they would be flexible with move in date and, when move in day arrived, they had an organized and, most importantly, SAFE procedure to get my in-laws settled. Since their arrival, Clarendale has been nothing but accommodating - providing breakfast free of charge when under stay at home orders, delivering both lunch and dinner to residents, having a weekly activity in which staff go door to door with a nacho bar, happy hour, sundae bar, hawaiian themed treats, etc, opening the gym for resident use with safety protocols in place...the list goes on and on. The food is INCREDIBLE with a rotating menu of specials and variety of options to choose from; there was an entire week that my mother-in-law lamented over Facetime to us about having to choose between steak and lobster (she couldn’t get both because “the portions are too big”). They have also been incredibly communicative with resident’s families from sharing weekly updates to having an open line of communication with Clarendale’s Executive Director, [name removed]. Their handling of the pandemic has been extraordinary considering the circumstances; always communicating developments and changes quickly to residents, and being proactive in imposing safety measures, including free weekly testing for all residents. [name removed] has one of the most challenging careers and she is ALWAYS professional in her approach while also empathetic to the unique needs of each family. We appreciate her efforts as well as the efforts of the Clarendale staff. Suffice it to say, my in-laws have found their “forever home”. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, Clarendale of Addison.
