Vantage Senior Care

For the past two years, my Aunt Harriet was a resident of Tinley Court. It was a very big decision to move her from her condo...but it was the best decision we made. I had visited many senior living facilities...but none of them had the love and kindness that the residence receive at Tinley Court. They really care...all of the staff...I can't thank you enough for everything you did not only for my aunt but for myself and our family. The care is sincere. It is like a big family that looks out for each other. The events are creative and makes the residence feel special. You are always greeted with a smile and sometimes a hug. Again, I thank all of the staff for their kindness and care for my Aunt.

Two of the hardest decisions in my life happened, when my mother, Marion, after 17 years of living alone after my father's passing, could no longer live on her own. First was to tell mom, and second was to find a place for mom to live that would fill all our wants and needs. After looking at five places, my wife and I chose Tinley Court. The big lobby with fireplace, large dining room, library & tv room, activities room, and friendly caring staff all helped in deciding the right place for her to be. At first mom wasn't too happy having to move, but after a few months,, she began making friends, talking to many of the residents and socializing. She found a passion in the activities room doing picture puzzles and even helped other residents who had a hard time doing the puzzles. some of her puzzles were framed and hang in the hallway of the building. another was framed and hung in her room, which she was so proud of. Getting back to Tinley Court, the staff there is incredible. They go out of their way with smiles and always seemed to care to please the residents and their families. In my visits, I saw the staff interact with many of the residents. They handled each and every one, all with different personalities, with care and compassion. Sadly to say, after three years at Tinley Court, my mom became suddenly ill and passed. The staff was amazing through this tough time, showing so much care and understanding to us and for mom. I believe, by their conversations with us, how much they truly loved and cared for her, and will miss her. They were her family, as she was theirs. After speaking with one of my mom's friends, a classmate from many many years ago, I found out that my mom told her that these years at Tinley Court were some of the happiest times of her life. So thank you to Tinley Court for making mom's last 3 years so fantastic. Also a great big thank you from me and my wife for making our tough decision a great one. We always felt very secure and didn't have to worry about her. The staff always cared about her in so many special ways, and to mom, Tinley Court was home.

We would love to reiterate how much we love our mother living at Tinley Court. The past several years were wonderful for our mother and our family; since moving Juanita into Tinley Court, everyone has been happy with her living arrangements. Everyone at Tinley Court from the office staff to the housekeepers, maintenance & kitchen staff have always been AWESOME!!! Although there were a couple of bumps along the road on both sides: I again apologize for the bumps I caused. We would certainly allow our mom to live at Tinley Court all over again! Thanks to everyone for your continued patience and understanding. As I said before I will continue to highly recommend Tinley Court to anyone and everyone. No one knowns how long mom will be at Tinley Court but as long as she wants to be there, we will make sure she stays there! Thanks again to the entire staff at Tinley Court!!

On behalf of our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, we thank you for all the caring you have given her for all these years and we are sad to take her from a place she knows as home. I know the special care she has received and she always enjoyed playing games and winning...she is really sad to be leaving. Thank you so much for your care and concern for our mother.

Thank yo uso much...I really appreciated how wonderful Tinley Court and all the staff is there. They sure made us feel welcome whenever I was there to visit my dear friend, Naidene.

I speak for Dorothy and myself when I tell you that the words on this card tells what is in my heart. Mike and I sure made the right decision when mom came to live at Tinley Courts. Whether her TV couldn't work, or the never-ending phone problems or maybe just being there in the middle of the night - you all were there for her and me! Words can never express how grateful I am for all of you. Dorothy wasn't the only lucky one. I have made friendships that I plan to continue! I might even bring all those grandkids along too! I am comforted by knowing she is with her husband and children who went before her, but I miss her. I thank God for all the work you do for all the residents and ask God to keep giving you the spirit to keep on giving ~

Tinley Court is a very special place with a caring staff and a nice living environment. The residents are generally nice as well. Kathy is the new administrator who took over in August. She has made a tremendous difference. She is kind, gentle, and very competent. She addresses the resident's issues -- physical plant and living issues as quickly as she can. She demonstrates love. The second in command is Cindi who is also of very high caliber. She is ostensibly the marketing director but she wears many hates and is very pleased to roll up her sleeves and attack any problem with fortitude. Among the senior staff is CID the activities director. She is just excellent all around and extremely intelligent and creative. I think she does just a wonderful job. I could list many other staff since so many deserve a pat on the back but there is just not enough space to include everyone. In closing I think Tinley Court is just top notch given its modest price structure.

Thanks to the staff for making my Dad's move smooth and cheery. My sister and I greatly appreciate all your assistance. I know he will be safe and nourished and can participate in various activities that we are unable to provide. He is a wonderful man and is an excellent father and my sister takes wonderful care of him. It was great meeting you and your director; your facility is top-notch.

The love and care the staff showed our mom is appreciated more than words can express.

I really like it. It's been really nice. The pricing was much better, than where we were. They had one of those sit in tub/spas, and she really likes that. She has farm field out her back window, that is perfect for her. I'm very pleased with it.

My grandfather is adjusting well thanks Consuelo berger

The employees are not only friendly and courteous but they are very kind. The employees seem to truly care about the residence.

Clean facility, Loving staff and overall beautiful place, I moved my mother hear few weeks ago and i was very impressed.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. This was a very nice looking community, and the staff we spoke to all seemed very friendly! It was on the larger side, which may have presented some difficulties for our loved one to navigate. It was also on the expensive side.

I would just like to let you know what a great move Tinley Court made when they hired on the new Director over there... the place has done a complete turn around in appearance - pictures up on walls, the place smells WONDERFUL... the residents are cheery, smiling and love living here!!! The change in staff was needed a long time ago, as what a breath of fresh air Debra, the new gal in charge is. as she takes such care with everyone, going table to table visiting all the residents, making sure they are doing okay and asking about them, And Cindy, always having a kind word to say to make everyone feel so special... Then there's all the new activities that we started seeing since last November once Debra came on board, especially down the other wing and all those folks participating at our end too !!! And finally... things are finally being fixed around the place on a regular basis !!! Kudos to Tinley Court and all that you do for all of us that live here... we LOVE everything and don't want you to change a thing!!!

Ellen’s home is so warm caring and loving to their patients that I don’t even to worry about anything. My loved one just stayed in her bed, but now she’s up and active all the time. The food is awesome - it’s like restaurant quality food.

Overall we've had a great experience with Bethany Retirement! It's a smaller community and it has a really tight knit community feel. Everyone is very friendly and they all look out for one another! The staff are fantastic and genuinely seem to care about the residents. They're very responsive to any issues or concerns that residents or families bring to them. They do seem a bit short staffed at times, and we've had some issues with tasks and requests not get passed along between day and evening staff shifts, but they are obviously doing their best. Another thing I'd like to see them improve is making their two beautiful garden areas more accessible to those in wheelchairs (it can be a little difficult to get over the lip of the door) We would highly recommend them, they do a great job here and my loved one really seems to love it!

It's like a poor persons', upscale assisted living. It's very nice and they are doing a good job. We are pretty happy with it. I give them a high score.

The price is a little high, sometimes the washers and dryers can break down, that is a really big inconvenience. The doors are so heavy they are difficult to open, it needs to be more handicap friendly. They offer meals, but the food isn't that good. I liked that it was very clean, and it had a nice view and I liked the people.

We don't have any complaints at all, and I am a very strict critic. They are very empathetic, and communicate well with the family. They offer a wide variety of activities, and they are very friendly. Mr. Cole was very, very upbeat, and inviting, and extremely informed. He was able to answer all of my questions. I liked that it was very clean, and smelled, not chemical clean, but clean.
