Senior Lifestyle - Main

It is pricey, but if you have the money it's well worth it. The room was excellent, very beautiful. They had staff there all the time, and my loved one was constantly seeing the staff even when she couldn't see the residents. The staff were always letting me know if she needed anything - cat food, Boost, etc. The smell from the kitchen was absolutely wonderful. It made me want to eat there. The location is great, easy to get to. There are nice views from the rooms, and the grounds outside seemed very nice. During Covid, they did everything they could to keep people safe, for instance meals served in the rooms. They went above and beyond to make my loved one comfortable. They're offering a lot of activities, including presentations on different countries, exercise groups, and even one-on one exercise instruction during Covid. There's a memory care group for activities at an additional fee. Overall I was very satisfied, and I would recommend as long as it's within your financial range.

I would recommend this community. The community has hired a full time activities director for the memory care floor. There are computer games for recognition, personal care like manicures, field trips, arts and crafts, and prior to COVID they would stop and get ice cream. The food is really good. The room is spacious for my loved one.

Had my mom there for a few months,was very happy with everyone they we so good to mom??

My parents are happy with Barrington of Oakley. The food is so-so, not much of a variety. Not much of a view. Staff has been great. They are doing a good job with communication with my brother and I during the quarantine. I have been impressed with the head nurse, she has been really helpful and positive. My dad was really happy with the activities before the quarantine.

Came from nursing home to my own apartment. Management works with me to do what is best for my brother and the "tough love" he needed has worked very well. It is too bad everyone could not have this living arrangement.

( It is difficult for me to type because I have no feelings in my hands or fingers, I'm so sorry) I believe, from my experience, Meadowbrook is a great place for a loved one or relative to stay. My perception is positive in regards to cleanliness, friendliness, services, care, and activities--and also the food! All very good!

We are so very pleased to have found Bayshore. We moved my 96 Mother-in-law here 4 months ago. She has thrived in this environment.. She eats regular gourmet meals, is engaged in activities on an off site which has helped her in the transition. The Caregivers and Staff could not be a better fit for her. Feed back by Family Members is a priority of Bayshore. They have always taken our comments and suggestions to heart and the monthly meetings with family help Bayshore to address even the smallest of issues. As a family member, Bayshore provided the guidance, respect and empathy in making this decision for all of us. I have traveled from CA 2 times so far to visit my mother-in-law since she entered Bayshore. I am greeted and involved in her care on a continued basis. I recommend Bayshore to those family members facing this same situation with their loved ones.. It was a choice we had to make quickly and it was done without pressure. Thank you Bayshore

Have an overall great experience so far. My loved one is getting along very well. There is a lot of friendly help, always encouraging participation in activities and helping get from place to place. They check on everyone if they are in or out of their room. Mealtime is prompt and offers a choice of menu items. Options on your level of care is offered and explained. Although nowhere is perfect and can’t compare with home, I’m pleased with Canfield Place and would encourage you to check it out if looking for assisted living environment.

Brookdale in Lisle is the best facility that I visited in search of a permanent residence for my mom. From the moment you talk to their representatives you realize these people really care. They apartments for all...independent, assisted living, nursing care. The best feature is mom can be independent (cheaper rent) and then get "spot" assistance for a charge per hour. It is considered "a la cart" assistance and is perfect for those that are really independent but may need help with some things. The dining room is like a fancy restaurant and the menu changes daily. There is an excellent chef as well as a pastry chef. They make sure that the residences co-mingle for breakfast and dinner (2 meals included with rent). There is also a "bistro" that serves hamburgers, hot dogs, deli sandwiches and is a small convenience store. There is also a branch office for the local bank located in the lobby. Mom loves it, loves the care, and loves the sincerity of the staff. Was a godsend to visit this place and was the last place I looked at.

I am an elder law attorney who has frequently been in Addington Place to visit clients. I find the facility to be clean and in good condition. My clients are always dressed and involved with others and in activities. The staff is well trained and are true care givers. The all seem to really care for the well being of the patients. I have been impressed with the overall management of the facility. I think this is an excellent option for families looking for this kind of care for their loved one.

Management is very considerate of people's needs. The are almost always available to talk. They go over board to make you feel "at home." The staff reflects the positive attitude of management. They show they care about the residents. I would name names, but I'm afraid I would leave someone out. My father is the resident, 98 yrs old, needs some assistance and is a WWII vet. They treat him like royalty. He lost his wife (my mother) of 75 years last October, they were very close. But as his short term memory is fading the staff fills in for that loss and makes him very comfortable.

We moved my father here from Seattle and the worry of this his transition and all that goes along with it couldn't have been better because of the care and concern from the entire staff at River Glen. The River Glen team help us mange all of Dads medical transitions and with guidance and support. It is such a stressful and emotional moment in a family's life when you need to find the right type of care for your parent, and you want them to feel independent, supported and cared for as well. The facility is beautiful and very "homey" feeling, the food is delicious, and the staff is really fist class! We did a lot of research before selecting River Glen and the flexible month to month program is a unique offering that allowed our family to make this transition without the stress of having to sell my father’s home of 40 year in order to make the finances work. Most other programs do not offer that. Dad is getting adjusted in his lovely apartment and I feel so grateful that is down the street from me with the care and love he deserves. River Glen- thank you for making this transition so easy on our entire family.

I moved my mom into assisted living at River Glen about seven months ago. I toured and researched MANY care facilities and found that River Glen was the best fit. The community is smaller than most so it has more of a family feel and easy to maneuver. The apartments are spacious and bright with full, private bathrooms and nice sized kitchenettes. I really like that the dining room is open all day. Since my mom likes to sleep in, she doesn’t have to rush and can eat whenever she wants. The property outside is gorgeous with multiple porches, gazebo and walking paths with beautiful landscaping. Every single staff member, nurse and aide greets my mom (and her dog) by name which usually includes a big hug. Her medications are meticulously managed by the top notch nursing staff. There are various daily activities which include something for everyone. The social/activities staff are so much fun and full of positive energy! My mom seems so much healthier and happier now that she is safe and no longer has the stress of managing her house or worrying about being a burden while living in our house. She has the independence and privacy of her own place with 24 hour nursing care yet we can see each other often.

I work in the nursing industry and had the pleasure of visiting Bayshore Memory Care in Naples. The rooms are nice, spacious, and very clean. Dinner was great, they have delicious choices on the menu. The staff was helpful with all our needs. The residents seemed happy as they were all singing along with the activities director. I really enjoyed my visit at Bayshore.

My 86 yo mom fell and was having a difficult time managing the pain/staying on top of the medicine schedule and caring for herself, living alone in a single family home. Mom’s two week respite care stay at River Glen was fabulous. I kept calling it her “vacation”...clean and quiet studio apartment, delicious food, caring staff and nurses, peaceful and friendly environment. Mom was able to rest, heal and return to her activities at home. Very thankful to EVERYONE there! And I know mom is going to miss the new friends she made there, too.

No other place in the area can compare to Clen Moore Place. The aids have been so caring for both of my parents and the administration and staff nurse are top notch. When my mother got very sick, the aids were there to help and the staff nurse stayed until late in the evening to ensure she was taken care of and comfort our family. They go above and beyond. I highly recommend this facility for anyone considering assisted living for their parents. It gave us such peace of mind to have our parents at Clen Moore Place.

Very caring environment for residents. Anytime I go to visit, I feel very welcomed, as well as comforted in knowing that kind and considerate people are taking care of my loved one. A genuinely caring facility in all aspects. Great staff who make you feel like a valued family member.

Activities to match the resident's abilities and interests

I came to Autumn Ridge under Hospice care. On April 14th, I am leaving the community walking under my own power. I will leave to continue my rehabilitation with friends and my primary physician and my specialists. This would not have been possible if it were not for the wonderful, dedicated and knowledgeable staff here at Autumn Ridge. Their knowledgeable staff in every department went beyond their positions to make sure that all of my needs were taken care of! Thank You!

[Removed] from River Glen helped to make my dad's transition to assisted living a better experience than it otherwise would have been. They consistently help me with questions and are dedicated and compassionate. River Glen is a lovely facility with good care.
