My son was transported there under a wrong diagnosis of low back pain when he had a spinal injury…read more When we got there, we called 911 right away to have him transported right back out. There was an employee talking on her phone loud as soon as we entered the lobby talking about she was going to beat someone up. The staff did not get up from their seats to do or say anything (other then one kind nurse advised us to call 911 and get him out of there right away because they can't care for him.) The entire place was filthy. Trash and dirty sheets on the floors in the rooms. No Ac and it was 94 degrees outside. Holes in the ceiling and walls. Construction being done outside of the rooms. Patients had no clothes on due to the heat. He had no call button, no proper bed for his condition. I would not send a dead dog there and I'm so shocked that place is even open. I feel sorry for the people there without family to advocate for their wellbeing. My son would have died if I let him stay there. Yelp is asking me to give it a star rating and won't let me post a review without a star. I would give it no stars if I had the choice.

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.

The question begs to be asked of Yelp.... why aren't unfavorable reviews factored into an overall…read morerating? 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.

Great place. The nurses are very caring. They try their best to do a good job. When considering…read moreoptions to place loved ones in a long term care facility this place exceeded my expectations regarding cleanliness, kindness of staff, and the number of staff members visible & actually working in patient care areas. My family member has been here one week today. I can honestly say, I feel I am leaving my dad in good hands. I am so glad I chose this facility. I have received calls from the nurses daily notifying me of changes in his doctor's orders. As a healthcare provider myself I am very observant of the care the staff provide for my family member and others who live here. I usually come at dinner time. The food is appealing and they offer the residents additional choices if they are not happy with their meal. So, if anyone is considering long term care placement. This facility can be used as a guide to compare other long term care facilities against.

What about the night time nurses and aides all going outdoors to hang out with patients needing attention and the phones ringing off the hook and not answered! The receptionist during the day was very rude when asked to find the missing clothes that are still missing! This place is terrible! Do not trust your loved ones here, please consider other places!

I haven't seen my father smile so much in years! My Mom is dancing and laughing again! The staff is so dedicated to making sure that every person feels nurtured and pampered. The food is deliciously and meticulously prepared by awesome chefs and served on china by smiling servers who are truly there to serve! The nursing staff is so knowledgable, helpful, and friendly! They have a beautiful beauty salon and spa, which offers every service imaginable. There are activities each day and also afternoon movies, shown in their own theatre. This place is a mix between a cruise ship and a five star hotel. I highly recommend The Kenwood to anyone who is looking for a very special place for their parents, or themselves to happily live thru their retirement years!

When I asked a caretaker when my Dad would fall how would they now to come in the room to help him! Answer: They wouldn't know to come in to help because the call buttons in the facility do not work. I guess that explains the staff screaming down the hallways. Due to the lack of care we have decided to look at other Senior Living options. This is very sad when you are trusting the facility meet your expectations after what bill of goods they sold us. My advise is if you really love someone then do not send them to Brookdale.

She was well liked by the residents and their family, often receiving thank you letters and cards for going above and beyond what is expected of her. In Feb. 2012 the fuel pump went out on her car. She brought in a receipt for repair, but was still written up. Now this alone seems fairly cruel to discipline someone for something unexpected that could happen to anyone. But what really takes the cake. Easter Sunday she was scheduled to work and woke up to a dead battery. Again she called her job, left messages, and brought in a receipt. The following Monday she worked, was off Tuesday, and FIRED Wednesday. The lack of compassion from the management here is rampant. The care more about their bottom line than for the years of hard work and dedication their staff put in. Just imagine putting your vulnerable loved one in the care of these types of people. Imagine how far they would go to pocket as much of your hard earned money they can.

Had 2nd opinions. Tried over 12 different kinds of meds that normally help migraines, but not me. Actually made it worse. Now I'm on a list to see a headache specialist in April 2015...if I live until then. Lol That's just a little history before I share my experience at Peak Performance. So I heard that Andy has helped many people that have suffered with migraines and in severe pain. Many were helped after one treatment. So why not try and see. I set up the appointment online. My experience was very easy. The only time you run into an issue is if he is completely booked. I like the fact that you can choose your availability compared with his. The building is easy to find. The lobby is comfy and elegant. Andy is super nice and very good at what he does. You see him right when your appointment is, no waiting. I was so impressed how he invited my fiancé in and even showed him how to help me get relief. He took time to show me what was going on and how much of a mess my muscles were....and how to work on myself. It's better to teach a person to fish instead of just providing a basket of fish. I was amazed how he found trigger points, pressed in, found the release, and sometimes a referral of release. I thought he was easing up, but no, my muscles were easing up the pain. Thank God! By the time we were done I was feeling so much better. My neck, shoulders, and face were relaxed and loose...just like they should be. Yes, I said face. Who knew your face muscles needed a release of tightness to feel better. I even feel like I glow this evening. Sort of hard to explain. I just feel good. On that note of feeling good, he has warned me that I could experience pain in the areas we worked and even possibly a rebound headache. I've had a constant headache for almost two years, but I've head head, neck, and shoulder pain and knots for over 15 years, so if it works out that way, ok. We may need to do a few more treatments before complete relief. That's ok with me. I've been dealing with this way too long with no help at all. Today was one big step in the right direction.
