Everyone at the Center, from my attending Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Nurse Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Speech Therapists, to the Social Worker, Dietician, Housekeepers, and folks in the Cafeteria, treated me with the utmost level of professionalism, compassion, and thoughtfulness. I can genuinely say that each member of my healthcare team treated me as if I were a member of their family. I can honestly say that I would not have walked out of the Center if not for them...if not for each and everyone of them.

She said they have sponge bathed her which consists of being wiped down with diaper wipes. She is there for rehabilitation from a fractured femur and has gone to rehab 3 times in 6 days. I am more than disappointed. I called the front desk which took more than 25 rings to be answered when it was answered I asked for the nurses station and was told my call would probably not be answered because they were too busy. My mother went in healthy and completely aware of who she is and where she was. Last night she came down with a cold, fever, possibly Covid at 4:00pm the next day was finally given Tylenol to help with her fever. She was delirious and had no idea where she was. This place is awful. I am sorry we were sent here.

You have several former workers from this facility who have left reviews on Google telling you to…read morenot put your relatives/ family in this facility. I would strongly stress the same. The staff/ nurses and director of this facility were extremely negligent and put several lives in jeopardy. I am a care giver who was placed here through an agency to assist a sweet elderly client on overnights. There were several nights my client was in pain from her legs and when I would go to advise the nurse, they seem bothered and annoyed. The incident however that really upset me was one night I was there, I came in at 8:30 pm, my client seemed a bit sick as I noticed the tissues in her hand and bed. As the night progressed I noticed she had a very frequent, tight cough. I went and advised the nurse on staff and inquired if she had recently been tested for Covid. The nurse said my client had "several days ago" I responded well several days ago she wasn't showing symptoms and now she is. The nurse still brushed it off and never tested her. The next morning and day my client mingled with other seniors in the facility. I advised my agency I wouldn't be going back the next night until they tested her. Not sure who lied rather it was my agency Always Best Care or a nurse at this facility but I was informed by ABC that a nurse at this facility advised them that she was tested and negative. When I drove in that night I asked my client if they tested her and she said no. I immediately had the nurse on site test her as I became upset and guess what, she tested POSITIVE! When I reached out to the director Sarah Mckan director at the facility to advise of what happened she did not apologize and even said "well you were already exposed the night before" I said yes and yet she wasn't tested when I asked she should and then spent the whole day with other seniors possibly spreading it she said "well yea I guess" I asked that she follow up with me to let me know what the outcome of investigation was and she never did. Received a call from ABC today advising that this facility does not want me to come back. Why because I care more for my client and the patients there than the facility workers? Because I alerted you of negligence from your staff? Interesting. We'll see what the health department has to say about th

Soon as I walked in those doors I knew I found the perfect place for my dad. The staff makes you…read morefeel so comfortable , they all are so caring and kind. They make sure to update you on everything going on with your family member that lives there. They have such neat outings for the residents there and before Covid happened you were allowed to partake in the fun activities with your loved one. They have fun activities all day long to keep the residents active. All the caregivers, nurses and staff know you by name and always make sure that you're a part of everything going on there. I can't truly thank the Staff enough for making the emotional process of placing my dad in a memory care home an easier one. They are with you every step of the way. I highly recommend the Arden Courts Geneva. They also do a lot of great volunteer work within the community to help with charities. My dad really enjoys this place. They recently just remodeled it so it looks really nice inside and always is super clean. My dad has lived there five months now ( in 2021) this was one of the best decisions for our family. They abide by all the Covid restriction laws to make sure the residents there are kept safe and healthy. My dad loves the food there too. They even have a comfort dog named Mia there. My dad enjoys seeing her. Thank you again to all the staff that works there.

I simply can not say enough thank you's to the Arden Courts Staff members, especially to Pam and…read moreJustine. These two women held my hands, dried my tears and help to guide me through this very scary and unfamiliar journey. In early Feb 2019, I was suddenly facing the fact that we need to move a loved one from Texas to Illinois; who was showing advancing signs of memory loss/dementia. Dennis, 72 years old, needed to be in a safe place to live, with doctors and caregivers to watch over him and see that he took his prescribed medicines and was provided 3 good meals every day, which he was no longer able to do on his own. The caregivers at Arden Courts are kind, compassionate and so very patient with these residents who have been diagnosed with this insidious and sad disease. At Arden Courts it really is possible for a person with a diagnosis of dementia to have a good quality of life. Arden Courts lives up to the promises in their brochure by providing structured, daily activities allowing their residents to socialize and interact with other residents and staff, adding to their quality of daily life. The entire staff, especially Pam, Justine and Nurse Nina have given our family total piece of mind 24/7. Their monthly support group offers a wonderful opportunity for family members and caregivers to know that they are not alone in navigating this journey with their loved ones. We continue to be ever grateful that Arden Courts was there in our time of need and we highly recommend this and their sister facilities for anyone needing care for their family members having memory loss/dementia. Thank you, the family of Dennis G.

She was professional, told me she just returned from maternity leave and said changes were in the works for this location/facility. Sadly, when your loved one is discharged from a hospital there is very little time to research and interview a facility.

My advice to anyone placing a family member to ask questions and discuss communication on the front end; view facilities to see of it meets your needs and set goal/expectations for their care. Good Luck to the administrator, Avantara snd especially families! My snd all reviews do matter & are intended to help make positive changes!
