I could not ask for anything more than the care she is receiving. I have never met such a professional and caring staff. Every single person seems to genuinely care for each resident. Memory Care residents can be difficult and this staff knows how to work with them in a loving and caring manner. They have plenty of appropriate activities all day long. My Mom needs to be kept busy and they manage to do so. TV is never used as entertainment. You never see a group of residents fast asleep in front of the TV because they are bored They offer plenty of appropriate outings. My Mom loves to show me the center's van and tell me that she went on another outing. (Of course, this was before the pandemic.)

He's having such a good time, we are hoping he will want to stay. The place is clean and bright. People are friendly. He is involved and making new friends. They contact me if they have a question.

They do not allow any camera monitoring in rooms?? Why? Because they don't want the truth to get out about the abuse and lack of care from staff. Urine filled briefs left on floor of dementia patients rooms, feces on floor and refused to clean up, lost belongings, residents spoken down to and belittled for having to use personal items intended for children. Residents yelled at by restaurant staff. Refused food. Food not given. Management staff refusing to respond to family emails and voice mails. Residents accused of things that aren't true. Lying about residents and family members. Twisting and lying when families are told things. Terrible facility director. Nick D'Erminio. Puts on a happy face but when concerns are made but is a professional gaslighter and manipulative behavior on his end. Blames and shames residents and family members instead of his own incompetence. Very condescending and belittling! Assisting living nurse manager incompetent. Untrained, uneducated, and uncaring staff. Was told the very first day, by an aide, that we should hire private care for family member if we want good care. Direct debited over $2000 out of bank account without authorization and over charges without even an apology. So technically stealing from family members. Refuse to recognize family medical doctor ordered POA status. Again, great location, pretty place, all shiny on the outside but a mess on the inside. No wonder place is still half empty two years after being open. Run!!!!!! You get what you pay for.

I'm leaving this review based on my experience while providing care to a resident at Maple Knoll…read more Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed and uncomfortable with what I witnessed. During my time there, I observed situations where a resident's call light remained on for an extended period while staff members were sitting in the hallway talking and laughing. I found myself having to assist with many of the resident's needs because staff were not responding as promptly as I would have expected. I understand that I am there to provide support, and I am more than willing to help, but there are certain things I cannot do because I do not have the same access or responsibilities as facility staff. I also witnessed interactions from some staff and therapy personnel that came across as impatient and unkind. Residents in a care facility deserve patience, dignity, compassion, and prompt attention--especially when they are asking for assistance. What bothered me most was seeing staff socializing and laughing in the hallway while a resident was waiting for assistance. Whether or not there were other circumstances I was unaware of, the situation did not give me confidence in the level of attentiveness being provided. I'm sharing this because I genuinely hope management takes these concerns seriously. The residents deserve better. They deserve to feel cared for, respected, and heard--not like they are an inconvenience.

No doctor or nurse practitioner bothered to evaluate the patient when she was complaining of extreme pain before making medication decisions, and ignored recommendations from hospice nurse. Arrogant LPN who asked patient to state her pain level from 1-10, and when patient replied 9, the LPN said "you don't look like you're a 9." Definitely a "we know best" philosophy that does not prioritze the patient. When patient was being cleaned by nurses, family was subjected to listening to patient screaming "I hope you are killing me because I can't take any more of this." Horrific experience. We moved her to the nursing facility at the Kenwood Senior Star where she had wonderful, patient centric and empathetic care. What a mistake to subject our mother to MPL.

The Seasons Retirement Community (Seasons / Courtyard) is a very nice senior living center in…read moreKenwood, run by the Senior Lifestyle Corporation. There are three levels of living at the Seasons: Retirement Living and the Courtyard's Assisted Living and Nursing Care. The Seasons is well decorated, they have nice dining rooms, the location is convenient for visitors, and it's a relatively cheerful place. I had a relative who lived at the Seasons for many years and she had a good experience, and we felt comfortable with her living there. The Retirement Living is an independent style of living like an apartment with many things offered. This includes a continental breakfast and other meals served downstairs in their restaurant, there is 24-hour on-site security, weekly towel and linen services, bi-weekly housekeeping, wellness nurses on staff, transportation options, and a list/calendar of weekly social and recreational activities. Although she enjoyed many of the activities, my great grandmother wished there was more to do in the evenings. There is also a lounge with a pool table and television, a shuffleboard court outside, a salon, a library, a chapel, a heated outdoor pool, a greenhouse, and walking trails among other things. The Assisted Living offers nurses and resident assistance 24 hours a day, assistance with activities, management and/or assistance with medication, three nutritious meals per day, wellness monitoring, and housekeeping and laundry service. The Nursing Care, meanwhile, has a licensed nursing staff on hand at all times, there is a "full range" of therapeutic service, restorative and rehabilitative nursing, social service to assist with personal needs, three meals a day and snacks, medication management, and individualized activity programs. My great grandmother used to say how "old age isn't a pretty thing," but at the Seasons they do their best to accommodate everyone's living and wellness needs. With all they offer on their campus and the emergency response system, the Seasons is a very nice place to send your elderly loved ones.

By not including any less than complimentary comments a clear picture is not being presented. My mother (and my father until his passing) lived in the Seasons community for 11 years - 9 years at Seasons and 2 years at Courtyard. The years in independent living was tolerable - Courtyard, not so much. The lack of staffing, particularly at night, was very concerning. When you have one nurse on duty and a scattering of aides handling 3 floors of elderly residents, this is makes for a less than ideal assisted living arrangement. Care conferences were never held, repairs requested for her apartment (broken tile in bathroom - possible trip hazard), thorough apartment cleaning as stipulated in lease agreement each took over a year to achieve. Other than an ideal location there is nothing ideal about Courtyard. My mother at age 96 passed away recently and no one in the management of Senior Lifestyle had the humanity to even utter condolences to our family. Concerns regarding the facility were also voiced to the President of Senior Lifestyle in their Chicago headquarters and has also been completely ignored. Would NOT recommend this facility to any family looking for an assisted living facility.

I can't say enough about Artis. My mom had to move from her home where she was living alone, and…read morewe first had moved her to another local facility. That place ended up being awful, and we were desperate to find a place where we knew she would be surrounded by people who cared, as well as being cared FOR. A friend, who also has a parent at Artis, told me about it, and how much they liked it. I went and met with Jerry and went on a tour. We proceeded from there to get my mom moved as quickly as possible from the first place. Best best thing we ever did. I am so insanely grateful that she is now with people who are warm and caring. They communication I get is fantastic, and I always feel like I know how my mom is doing. And, she has started to take part in activities. If you know my mom, you know that this practically a miracle. The ONLY way she would ever do this, is if she felt welcome, and like she was around nice people. She even has friends there! They also have events that family members can take part in. I can't say enough, I really can't. It is really the perfect fit for my mom. Oh - have to add, that they have a beautiful and SAFE outdoor area that the residents can spend time in. We love this part!
