Great Floor Plan!!
reviewed on: 03/30/2017 by AnonymousI really liked the floor plan at this community. Everything was very open with lots of bright natural light throughout the building. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions we had for them with patience and detail. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I have no complaints about our visit.

reviewed on: 12/21/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerThough the building is old, it appears to be fairly well maintained. The grounds are nicely landscaped. Several of the apartments I was shown look like they'd work for my father, although I have concerns about toilet-accessibility because of his scooter. The staff I met were pleasant to residents (and me). This is definitely worth considering.

A Newby's View
reviewed on: 10/03/2016 by Joann NBethany is one-half to one-third the cost of other places I learned of in Chicago so had to be my choice unless it were really awful. I chose on the basis of price and my son's viewing, as I was many states away and unable to visit. All things considered, I would have made the same decision though, in fair disclosure, I have not seen any other facility. Pro's: happy people, happy staff who seem to want to please, a hospital that is, literally, attached, some much appreciated green space in the city. Con's: lousy food (it is prepared by the hospital kitchen), limitations of a 1953 building, though well maintained. I cannot speak to care services but there are lots of nursing staff and many students supplementing them and the social worker. Worth your consideration.
Mom is happy and doing much better now that shes here
reviewed on: 09/06/2013 by JoyceCleanliness is a real good thing here, not just the rooms but they're redoing some of the hallways because they have carpet on some of the floors and that was a problem. But more so the patients and my mom in particular is so much better kept although she is assisted living and doesn't need a lot more help she does need a little and she's much more well done. She has incontinency issues so that being said she's much more well kept. Her living quarters are spotlessly clean and the common areas are real clean. She's in the memory care group and they meet daily, monday through friday and it seems to be beneficial. The people there are extremely kind, they're just always pleasant and caring. It is older, old fashioned furniture, old wood, heavier stuff but there's a nice enclosed garden that my mom has had fun going to. She's walking better, eating better, has no resistance as far as taking her medicine, her memory is going but she's happy.
