We moved Dad in after Covid precautions were relaxed a bit. We found that minimal help was given…read morewith ADLs like dressing, bathing, light housekeeping and medicine reminders. "They're supposed to be independent," we were told when Dad asked for help making his bed. RN works 40 hr wk, is not there nights/weekends, she does hands on care like bandages, aides not allowed. When touring and signing contract, family was told all staff are in-house employees but aides are mostly outside agency so rotating strangers were providing care who didn't build any bonds with our Dad. Some were caring and wonderful, some were not. (None were abusive.) "Good" activities like going out for lunch or dinner or anywhere are RARE. On Medicaid? $30 left after cable/phone, you can't go unless family pays. So it's mostly the rich kids clique that gets to go places. A HUGE positive is Medicaid residents still get/keep their private rooms, not forced to share a room, and receive exact services and care as the cash payers. Cash pay starts at $5K+/mo for a studio. Our big problem and why we moved Dad out recently- LACK OF PROMISED CARE/ACTIVITIES. We were treated like complainers by apathetic Administrator when we pointed out specific items in Dad's contract not being done. No idea if our issues were ever discussed with nursing director or activity manager but they were never corrected. Dad didn't get twice/week shower, aides spent under 10 mins/day interacting with him, some complained LOUDLY if he'd buzz for a little help standing up from toilet. To their credit, we thought staffing was bare minimum and know CNA turnover is high. Maybe treat them better and pay them more to retain staff? Care was rushed. Calendar activities are a joke, shows many daily options but most are lame worksheets left on door to be done alone. Contract states care and activity plan SPECIFIC to Dad's needs would be written up and followed, which never happened. We were promised (and paying for) stimulating activities and a social life for Dad. He could sit home alone and do nothing for free. He's just a little slow getting around but wanted friends and things to do! Activity woman snippy and defensive when asked about activity plan, would also evade us when we visited. Food is average institutional food, nothing special. The rooms and bathrooms are large and the outside grounds are very nice. We are still waiting on partial month refund almost 3 months after moving Dad out so some issues with the office which they say corporate does the refunds. Heritage Woods of Yorkville is far from terrible but did not come close to meeting our expectations to keep Dad busy and engaged.

I was there very briefly. I swear I wasn't sure if I was really in hell because that's what I…read moreimagine hell is like. It was absolutely gross. The shared room mate was awful experience. The heat was up so high I was very i was soaked with sweat. The place looks and feels dirty. (I honestly feel bad writing this) I don't have any complaints about the aids and nurse practitioner. The recreational lady was kind of strange asking if I want to go to church service. Thank god nurse practitioner said I was too sick to be there and sent me back to the hospital. Like another review mentioned the place was a nightmare for me too. They really need a new building it also looks like the last time they decorated/updated was 1970's.

I wouldn't send my worst enemy to this facility! The nurses and caretakers are supposed to read the…read morepatients chart when they first come to the facility, but they didn't for my family member. My family member is diabetic and they did not know how to treat him. Only tested his blood sugars before meals. Countless times we had to tell them they would need to test it to determine if his number was high or low. My family member was there for some physical therapy which the staff never"pushed" a patient to do. I think some encouragement would've been helpful. If we needed to get a hold of the facility at times outside of business, you couldn't unless you contacted the local police to go over. My family and I had zero trust in his caregivers/nurses. Although one nurse and one physical therapist were extremely helpful and friendly, Meggi and Melissa. The nurses and caregivers seemed to be scared of their patients. Definitely try to duck out of rooms quickly. Many times when I was there alarms at the top of patient's rooms were going off for 10 to 20 minutes before a nurse went in there. This place was more of a nightmare than anything, definitely one of the worst experiences for our family.

Jennings Terrace is a very special place. My mom is there and she is 100 years old. She lives on…read morethe independent living side, but she is surrounded by people who care for her and love her for who she is. It's not the kind of place that wants to gouge you. It's the kind of place that sincerely cares about people. The staff is exceptional at what they do and exceptional at understanding people from different walks of life. They are able to have compassion for my mom and her health or mental health difficulties that we all have at times throughout life. I am so thankful that my mom is at Jennings Terrace. There are a lot fancier places, but I don't think there is more skill or care or compassion in those places. This is home for my mom and she is happy there. We decorated her room and she loves it. She goes and sits out by the big cozy fireplace and watches a movie with other residents when the weather is cooler. And, when we walk in are usually greeted by someone who gives us a smile or a group of people playing games and laughing in the game room. This is home for my mom and I am so thankful to Esther, Daphne, Diana, Keosha, Diane and all the other staff members that I haven't named that make sure that things run smoothly. I live out of state and I know my mom is cared for, and it means so much!

Family member became a patient at this facility in early December 2024 for orthopedic and…read moreneurological conditions rendered her unable to complete even the most basic daily activities of life. Our family member on numerous instances waited upwards of two to three hours after requesting assistance with restroom use. Several instances when we were told assistive equipment was either not available or no functioning. Most staff were inattentive in timely fashion and arguably deviated from standard of care. Lastly, due to countless instances of failure to properly monitor and address the development of infections along her back and buttocks. Come to find out the likely culprit was negligent changing of adult diapers. To say the least, exercise due diligence in selecting a care center and in this instance a lack of care center. Could never in good conscience recommend a facility that failed along so many lines. Moved family member to Tabor Hills, Naperville where care is markedly better during the 1 week of care. If you care about your family member go elsewhere and stay away from Alden.

The day we were to…read morediscuss assisted living with her doctor, I found myself calling 911 and sending her to the hospital for what would be 51 days, sepsis, 2 surgeries & 2 rehab stints. 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!
