I've only been living here since last year, but I'm so very happy to be here. Every single day I…read morelook around at my place and give thanks that I chose to live here. I was widowed a few years ago, and could no longer maintain our house of 39 years on 1/2 acre. I'd looked into other places, but after having a tour at Westshire, I knew this was it for me. I have friends who've lived here for many years, and I know they're happy, so I had no doubts. There are plenty of activities and some of my friends just love them, although I haven't been active in any. However, I know I can at any time if I want. Community lunches (optional) are served twice a week, and periodic health check services, etc. are available. So, you can choose how active you'd like to be. Personally, I love people and am so glad to stop and chat, but I also cherish solitude. I live in one of the condo units, and have never been bothered by noise from other units. My balcony overlooks the woods, and I love watching the turkeys, sandhill cranes, deer and so many birds. More often than not I 'share' the nature path with the cranes and turkeys. In the winter when the leaves are off the trees, I've got a perfect view of the lake, and can see the ice fishing shanties. I just love it! And I was thrilled to watch Independence Day fireworks from my own living room and balcony, close up and personal! Wow! As I've lived in Delavan for 40 years, one of the pluses for me is to walk to my bank a block away. So I've got the country and town together. I'm in my mid-70's, and I accept that I'll be getting frailer as time passes. There are home health services through the Aurora and Mercy health systems, so that's reassuring to me. I've read the other review here. As I haven't been here long enough to know what happened with the party who had such a nightmare receiving the end of contract money, I would assume this was a one-time debacle, as I've never read or heard of lawsuits against Westshire for reneging on their contracts. This is a nonprofit organization with legal checks and balances, so whatever happened, I sympathize with the party, but can't imagine it's an ongoing problem. Let me end by suggesting that you come and take a tour. Bring a list of questions, concerns, etc. to ask the management. And especially, meet some residents and ask them for their opinions of this place. What do they like about it? And what don't they like (nothing is perfect, so see if there are any grumbles). That would tell you more than any review could possibly state, and you'd then have a much clearer idea of whether you'd like to live here. As for me? This is my beloved home from now the end of my days!

Nice place to live, but beware when it is time to leave. They are contractually bound to buy out…read moreyour lease at the sooner of the re-leasing of the unit or 18-24 months after you turn the unit over to them. Tish Lux is the exclusive broker handling the leasing. She is completely unresponsive during the process and won't respond to phone calls or emails from past residents or their family inquiring about the status of the re-leasing efforts and their money. In our case, we just learned that they had re-leased my mother-in-law's condo sometime in the fall of 2016 and never sent her the money she was due or contacted her. When we finally sent a threatening letter we got an apology and check in April. We had called Tish numerous times in the intervening months without a return call, yet they claimed they didn't know how to reach us. If this is how they treat a person who used to volunteer every week in the office with Tish, I can't imagine how they would treat a regular resident.

Like anyplace there are pluses and minuses. There are many kind and caring individuals working at…read moreVintage. Training is lacking in many cases though. I have seen aides getting both my mother and father up with just one person when two were prescribed. My mother (with dementia) was left unattended at night in a hall where she managed to get out of her chair, fall and break her shoulder. My dad slipped from his chair in the presence of an aid and broke his ankle (this could have been a genuine accident, but.....) The building is old and run down. A window in my dad's room fell out when they tried to open it. It was still not fixed months later. Management is no great shakes either. When bed bugs were discovered in my dad's room they tried to keep it from the family. When we finally found out, the owner tried to say that we (the family) brought them in. I can't imagine it would be hard to find a better, safer place for your loved ones. Vintage On The Ponds sets the bar pretty low.

After interviewing several caregiver agencies for my husband after a lengthy hospital/rehab stay,…read morewe finally found Assisting Hands. The staff was very proactive in finding the right caregiver to meet our needs and we were very pleased to have been assigned a caregiver who was compassionate, kind, and did a wonderful job managing my husband's changing needs over the past 18 months. The scheduling staff was very thorough and responsive to emails and calls. Home visits were scheduled periodically to check in on the dynamics between my husband and our caregiver. We recently terminated services only because my husband has progressed to the point that he no longer requires a daytime caregiver, but Assisting Hands was there for us in a time of great need and we were most appreciative for the great service!
