    My experience was similar to Jim's review. Our mother moved in with us and we were trying to figure…read moreout her schedule and let Jackie - the owner - know we would need to adjust her schedule as we got things sorted out. She said that was not a problem and promised us that she was just a phone call away. We left that meeting very hopeful. We rarely could get her on the phone after that day and her scheduling team had a big issue following through with requests for a schedule change. I even emailed them a proposed schedule using the email on their website. They never got it and didn't know where my email went; they assumed it went directly to Jackie but weren't sure... When I did finally get ahold of Jackie (calling the number on the invoice) she promised us twice she'd get a schedule to us by the end of the day. She didn't. Nearly a week passed with us asking her a second time to provide an update -- again she promised she'd get back to us by EOD. She never did and never even contacted us to say she needed more time. It was just *silence.* When we let them know we were terminating our service, Jackie was defensive and confused. It was a truly wild experience. I'm giving them two stars because the person they did set us up with for a few days each week was good. She just didn't have bandwidth -- and I don't think Pink Angels is staffed to be anywhere as flexible or accommodating as they promised.

    If only it were possible to give lower than a one-star review. I don't know where to start; the…read moreservice was deplorably bad. My first clue should have been when the company owner, Jackie, showed up at our house driving a Maserati. At our first meeting, I was promised the moon and the stars; I was told the schedule is as flexible as I needed it; if I needed anything, Jackie is only a phone call or text away 24/7. After that meeting, I was never able to speak with Jackie again. Instead, she has a staff of family members who incompetently complete all of her work. When I would ask to talk with Jackie, I'd get the excuse that she was too busy or in a meeting. When returning my calls, they would consistently call my mom direct, which did nothing but confuse her; when I expressed my dissatisfaction with the service I was receiving, they canceled on me altogether with no notice at 4p on a Friday. I was left caring for my terminal mother until I could find another care provider. Palos Hospital's hospice service recommended Pink Angels, and I accepted their recommendation without question; well, lesson learned. I've reached out to the hospital to let them know about our experience and ensure they never recommend them again. We went with a company called Home Instead, and they were the most caring and compassionate people I've ever encountered. I wish I had gone with them in the first place.

    I'm writing this review to warn families who may be considering placing a loved one in this…read morefacility. What my family experienced was heartbreaking, unsafe, and completely unacceptable. During my elderly mother's stay at the Sunrise Senior Living Community in Palos Hills, IL., we encountered repeated instances of neglect, unsanitary conditions, and gross mismanagement. She was found multiple times in the middle of the night unattended -- once placed on a urine-soaked couch with furniture positioned around her, and another time sitting stiffly upright in a chair, without socks or shoes, as if she were a display. When questioned, staff gave conflicting and inadequate explanations. We also witnessed a persistent ant infestation in her room, which staff failed to address despite multiple reports. The situation grew so bad that we had to demand a room change after three weeks of inaction. Even then, the Executive Director initially resisted our request, only to later offer another room at the same rate -- raising serious concerns about honesty and integrity. My mother was confined to a wheelchair for nearly four weeks due to an undiagnosed urinary tract infection -- something the Director of Nursing completely overlooked. Despite visible signs of physical decline, it was our family -- not the staff -- who suggested that she be tested. She tested positive immediately. Within 36 hours of leaving this facility, my mother was walking again. This level of incompetence and indifference is inexcusable. She also sustained an injury that went untreated. When asked about it, the staff simply said "she fell," without offering any further explanation or medical follow-up. The wound worsened over time and scabbed without care. The facility itself is not secure -- I was able to enter after hours on multiple occasions without being stopped, questioned, or asked for ID. This lack of oversight puts all residents at risk. To make matters worse, several of my mother's personal belongings -- including clothing -- were stolen during her time at the facility. Despite repeated requests, these items were never returned, and we've received no accountability or reimbursement to date. Sunrise personnel also stole her mattresses and bedspring. We were forced to file a police report to have this matter addressed. SMH Throughout this ordeal, communication was inconsistent and unprofessional. I requested all contact be conducted via email or certified letter, but staff -- including the Executive Director -- repeatedly disregarded this, continuing to call me directly despite clear boundaries being set. She was actually calling me from 3-4 different phone numbers. Very immature as you can see. We have filed formal complaints with state authorities and law enforcement. I strongly urge families to conduct extensive research and consider this experience before entrusting your loved one to this facility. What we endured has taken a heavy emotional toll -- one no family should ever have to go through. I included a pic of my mom. unattended, laying on a urine saturated couch, restricted by two chars serving as barriers at 12 am. Made a surprise visit and this is where I found her....trust me, you never want to experience anything like this. Came back the following night and found the same. 'EVERTHING THAT GLITTERS ISN'T GOLD' Don't be fooled by the dog and pony show, do your research

Terrin is an asset to Sunrise. During the holidays throughout the year they have family acctivities which we join in when we can. It's like a big happy family there and they treat you like that!
