Brookdale Des Plaines, IL 3-16-25…read moreAfter almost 2 years of residency my opinion Brookdale Des Plaines remains the same...... VERY high marks for both residents and management with staff. In spite of a madcap rush of 40+ new residents caused by the abrupt closing of another "senior" facility up the road, management rose to the occasion over a 4-5 month period to get everyone housed and safely moved in. Toss in another round of Covid, the Flu and artic winter temps, the Holiday decorations were once again Rockefeller Center like. Residents long-term and new have blended together on a mostly joyful. and very friendly fashion. Management continues their top down approach to keep things running smoothly Access to top rated reliable medical care is always a growing need as we all get older. And when buying a house any good realtor will say.... LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION!!! This facility has it in spades as well as a an IN-HOUSE reliable bus service to get you to and fro. BDP SHOULD BE at the VERY TOP of anyone's list as a safe, extremely well managed plus welcoming home for you or your loved one. I invite you to read my previous more extensive reviews, or better yet call BDP and schedule a visit. A long term and well informed marketing team await your call. Again, I am in NO way associated with Brookdale and simply reside here as an 85 yr old slightly disabled male resident. 2 years now and still very happy!!! HOPE to see YOU soon!!!

Learning of…read morethe situation in which I had been living he Fast Tracked my admission and got me in to a great studio apartment (including a queen-size bed, furniture, and smart TV) in short order. I've been here for nearly three months now and I couldn't be more pleased with everything about Asbury Court. Among the many amenities are weekly laundry and housekeeping as well as on-site Barber / Beauty services. There is even a Starbucks on campus. All rooms have refrigerators and microwaves as well as private bathrooms / showers. I'm in the independent living section but they also have supportive and assisted living available as well as a full scale Skilled Nursing Facility. In addition there is medical staff on-site 24/7. Rhonda The Clinical Director is always available to answer any medical questions. Patty the Social Services Director has been very helpful in tending to little details that make life easier. Megan the Activities Director along with the assistance of Sylvia, Eric, and Paulhina make sure that there are plenty of activities to keep residents busy. These activities include a weekly shopping trip as well as regular outings to restaurants and other attractions. There is always someone stationed at the front desk for security, but Pat who works days is the go to person for just about anything. She seems to have her finger on the pulse of the entire operation and although she won't admit it she could probably run the place by herself. The food isn't exactly five stars but it's not bad at all and there is always a good variety available. It's served restaurant style in the main dining room. In room dining is available upon request. All In all I would have to say that living at Asbury Court is a great experience and I highly recommend it to anyone considering a place for themselves or loved ones. Medicare and Medicaid patients are welcome.

My grandmother has lived here for over a year due to her new diagnosis of dementia, There have been…read moreso many issues that we continue to deal with as a family! This facility does not make their elderly clients a priority, and it is very clear as to how it is ran! We almost had a med error as they have a patient at their facility with a similar last name and if family wasn't paying attention, she would have been given the wrong medication! We continue to have to call the facility to ensure that she is being showered, her laundry is being washed, and her room is cleaned appropriately! Of late, the biggest issue has been the facility being infested with big bugs, It took them over 48 hours to address while my grandmother slept on her couch because her mattress was covered in bedbugs and they told us there was no other place to relocate her to, So we took her out of the facility for four weeks so they could deal with the issue. After several emails and phone calls, because they do not do as they say they are going to do, they finally got her a new apartment and did not even bother to move all of her things. Our family had to take on the burden of moving her once again! We asked for financial compensation for the four weeks that she was not there at the facility and still have not gotten an answer and that has been over two months ago! We continue to be unhappy with this facility as they do not make their residence a priority. I do not recommend this facility to anyone for their elderly loved ones!

I've been a patient here for years now and have to say that my experience has gotten so bad I don't…read morethink I can ever come back. Dr Levitin died. I got Dr. Berger and Dr Berger is a walking malpractice lawsuit waiting to happen. Time: First of all he is chronically late. Nice guy but I had to wait 2 HOURS AND 15 Minutes to see him! Ludicrous. The nurses say you just can't talk to him and that this is how he is. Two other patients were waiting with me and all of us were flummoxed as to how long it took him. It took so long that I had no idea my 1pm doctors appointment would interfere with my 5:15pm appointment. So I had to get my ekg the next day! I also had labs to do. Originally Dr Berger sent me upstairs to get my labs and didn't sign the correct order (signed the order for the in house lab). The lady upstairs looked pretty confused and then she asked me if I had fasted. I said no. She said I needed to do that (which is what I've always already known). So I went downstairs to tell him and he said oh ok. Oops. The bottom line is this. I had to refuse my EKG portion of my physical because I ran out of time. I had an online 5:15p appointment. My doctors appointment was at 1pm. Sink into that for a second. The next day I went in for bloods and was scheduled at 10:15 am. The girl in the lab didn't show which I'm told happens fairly regularly. The EKG happened right away (this is DAY 2 by the way) and then I needed to wait on a signature from the doctor to get my blood test and I waited three hours. He was supposed to come in at 11:30a a d didn't come in until 1pm. Dr. Berger just Joe's the give a f*ck! It's unnerving. I had the poor guy in the room next to me mention that his mother had dialysis but he had to take her to and he was waiting on the doctor. We were all waiting on the doctor. This is a malpractice lawsuit waiting to happen this man is completely irresponsible with his and everybody else's time and gives literally zero regard. If you have Dr. Berger, just be ready to be there all day waiting for him to finally decide to saunter in on his own free well. And apparently because he's a doctor, not even the manager can say anything. So this guy just gets to do whatever the hell he wants with zero consequences! I've never seen anything like it in my life and after being a Clinical in Associates Follow Los 15 years I'm never going to see it again. By the way, if you want to see what death on earth looks like, simply go into their lobby! Picture Kmart fluorescent lights on a deep dark purple along with purple seats from the 1990s for people to sit on and wait. The Secretary at the front having literally the most monotone voice that it's comical. The whole place is a disgusting nightmare. I've complained about the color scheme since they moved in and so has everybody else but apparently the owner truly just doesn't give a shit. He doesn't care that the doctor is not taking care of patients, He doesn't care about the color scheme or depression among staff or nurses who say they can't say anything to anybody about anything. It is crystal clear that Dr. Arvind Patel, the owner could give two shits about any of this and that in fact, he just doesn't care at all. My father is an independent physician in Michigan. I wanted to continue to support this group after the untimely death of my doctor at CAMS. But I can't. I no longer believe that they are professionals.

The Vi At The Glen is gorgeous, comfortable, provides high-quality dining options, a beauty salon…read moreand other amenities, and features an in-house Care Center with a truly outstanding staff to assist with its residents' ongoing medical care, and its cost of entry reflects that...and I would normally give it a 5-star review for all of those things. Unfortunately, at least an our case, the administration failed to honor their multiple promises to *ALWAYS* keep our Mom's family members up-to-date on her progress. Despite multiple requests for details, they refused to give us any, and we found out that they had made the decision to both put our Mom into the Care Center *AND TO REFUSE TO ALLOW HER TO MOVE BACK IN TO HER APARTMENT* only *AFTER* they had done so. I can think of few things more unethical, immoral, indecent, and counter to every single positive aspect of the Vi than for the administration to unilaterally move a resident into the Care Center and prevent her from moving back into her apartment without informing her children at all, let alone after promising and assuring us multiple times that we would be notified right away if her status there was *EVER* at risk of changing. I initially planned to NOT recommend that anyone put their loved ones in a position where the administration of the facility could unilaterally move their loved ones into the Care Center and prevent them from moving back into their apartment without notice, but I realize that not everyone in a corrupt administration stays in their position forever; thus my context-specific recommendation of Maybe. My advice? If considering having your loved ones move into the Vi At The Glen, you should first insist that the administration sign a document stating their obligation to *ALWAYS* and *IMMEDIATELY* keep your loved one's family members apprised of any change in status and the reasons therefore so no one else has to suffer the way the administration made us suffer upon discovering their cowardly subterfuge regarding our Mom (and if they won't do so, then our firsthand experience suggests that you should *RUN* in the opposite direction). No one should have to ever be put through the emotional wringer we were put through by the unfathomable callousness of the current Vi administration, and to be clear, my 1-star review reflects only that aspect of our experience with the Vi At The Glen.

Although Vi's Assisted living was to isolate residents, in the long run, it kept most safe under extremely trying circumstances.

I am thankful that my Mother was there and reasonably taken care of, with moderate dimentia,during that time. She is now 96 and still kicking!

My sister Sandra moved into Chestnut Square at The Glen in August of 2023. We had done quite a bit…read moreof research and looked at three or four other communities in the region that were nice, but we ultimately chose Chestnut for a variety of reasons. First and foremost were the staff and residents. They were all some of the warmest and friendliest people I've ever met. Not only were they warm and friendly but extremely helpful and very competent, as well as accommodating. The food was excellent, and the entire building was very clean, well-maintained, and quite attractive. There was plenty of programming and amenities both at Chestnut Square, as well as a short walk away in The Glen Town Center. Just across the street is a beautiful natural area with paved paths, a lake, shops, and plenty of places to explore. During her time at Chestnut Square, Sandra made many close friends and even developed a wonderful, close, and fulfilling romantic relationship with another resident who lived down the hall. The most important thing, however, was the dedication the staff had toward the happiness and fulfillment of all the residents. It really showed how happy everyone was in the community. Pretty amazing! When Sandra's health declined and she needed more assistance, Chestnut Square was able to provide additional on-site support through its phenomenal sister affiliate, Partners in Healthcare. The caregivers from Partners treated her and her loved ones like they were their own family. This was all available in Sandra's original apartment with a very thoughtful aging-in-place model, so she wouldn't need to transfer to another floor or facility. The care was exceptional, providing her with warmth, dignity, and respect. It comes as no surprise that Chestnut Square (a non-profit organization) is driven by their dedication to residents as well as staff--who all seem to really enjoy working there. Our entire experience with Chestnut Square was wonderful and provided the whole family with tremendous peace of mind!

I was so touched at a recent visit to Nazarethville, I was brought to tears. But in a good way…read more This facility was founded in 1974 and sponsored by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth. It is open to all, but there are many retired nuns living here. On a side note- nuns do not receive any pension when they retire and many work as teachers and nurses, well into their 80's. It's a hard life. I believe that quality of life is the most important aspect of maintaining your health into a ripe old age. The combination of a home-like atmosphere, offering wholesome living, balanced nutritional programs with menu selection, medication supervision, social events and entertainment are what I believe makes Nazarethville so incredible. I was there on a Saturday with my seven year old niece. Her entire class was there to assist the residents in a lively session of bingo. The school requested that we bring a little gift- to be given as prizes to the winners. Apparently tissue is in big demand, because it is not provided and must be purchased by the residents. In addition to this, many people brought little stuffed animals and puzzle books and such. To see the joy and watch the faces of the residents light up when the children arrive is truly wonderful. The children enjoy themselves as well. It's really a win-win combination. Whenever the residents won at bingo, they were able to choose a gift. Although they desperately needed the Kleenex, they all chose the stuffed animals, and then the books and always gave the prize to the child that was assisting them. I can happily tell you that they organize these type of events on a monthly basis. They also have occasions where (well trained) dogs come in with their trainers for a visit. Another big hit! The facility is spotless and adorned with the most beautiful and inspiring artwork.- all painted by a resident. Sister Jolanta. Her beautiful paintings emit a magical light- similar to the work of Thomas Kinkade. She was an art teacher for many years, but I don't believe you can learn to paint like that. It's a gift from God. So remember, if you find any tissue on sale, buy a little extra and stop in Nazarethville. You'll be happy that you did : )

Having her return home was no longer an option; which led me to quickly get to up to speed on senior living options,mostly on my own. I found her a place & moved her in all before her release. While I ensured her safety, I second guessed my decisions as she vocally struggled to adjust; it was a lot of change particularly for someone who rarely left her home. Almost 6 months in, a different set of doubts & worries took over. Did I make the right call, could she live somewhere more affordable, would she outlive her money, etc. I don't even recall what search term led me to Senior Living Experts, but I'm grateful. Rebecca listened to my story and made me feel less alone. She thought where my mom was at was the best option in terms of cost, desired location and care needs addressed, but would do the research and circle back. We also discussed the care she received currently and provided a few suggestions. As promised, Rebecca followed up and confirmed her initial assessment. Yes, I'll still worry about her finances, but I now have a better understanding of the landscape and what comes should her care needs increase. If I had a do over, I would have started with Senior Living Experts, they are amazing!

The facilities were clean and easy to find parking at. There is a ton of extracurricular activities for the guests and residents too, such as gardening, painting, and movie nights. The food was standard, but there are also separate restaurants that offer food that's a little more high end. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars were because the rehabilitation bedrooms are a little dark and drab. And we also ran into one transport issue trying to bring my mom to Presence for a doctors appointment. She was late getting to the hospital and the nursing home claimed she was stuck in traffic. However, because I track my mother, I knew she had yet to leave the nursing home. I was disappointed that they lied instead of just saying that they forgot about her. Other than that, I would recommend touring the facility yourself to see if it's the right fit for your elder. In comparison to other nearby facilities, we were pleased and would send our parents back there for a stay if need be without hesitation.
