Brookdale Des Plaines, IL 3-16-25…read moreAfter almost 2 years of residency my opinion Brookdale Des Plaines remains the same...... VERY high marks for both residents and management with staff. In spite of a madcap rush of 40+ new residents caused by the abrupt closing of another "senior" facility up the road, management rose to the occasion over a 4-5 month period to get everyone housed and safely moved in. Toss in another round of Covid, the Flu and artic winter temps, the Holiday decorations were once again Rockefeller Center like. Residents long-term and new have blended together on a mostly joyful. and very friendly fashion. Management continues their top down approach to keep things running smoothly Access to top rated reliable medical care is always a growing need as we all get older. And when buying a house any good realtor will say.... LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION!!! This facility has it in spades as well as a an IN-HOUSE reliable bus service to get you to and fro. BDP SHOULD BE at the VERY TOP of anyone's list as a safe, extremely well managed plus welcoming home for you or your loved one. I invite you to read my previous more extensive reviews, or better yet call BDP and schedule a visit. A long term and well informed marketing team await your call. Again, I am in NO way associated with Brookdale and simply reside here as an 85 yr old slightly disabled male resident. 2 years now and still very happy!!! HOPE to see YOU soon!!!

The staff is generally nice but overworked. Several slips in care occurred but one was unacceptable and caused me long term problems. One night my Dad needed help going to the bathroom and no one came. After 3 hours, he couldn't hold it anymore and wet himself in the bed. When the morning staff came in, he was wallowing in pee. The experience was obviously humiliating. Devastating to his long term care needs, he now refuses to be " put in a home" and will only return to his house. He will not even consider places outside The Moorings.

My mom was in a big, fancy, expensive nursing home where she was neglected, fell down in the…read morebathroom with no one helping her, and had half of her stuff taken by either the residents or the staff - we still aren't sure. Caring.com put Harbor House in touch with me and from the moment I spoke with Savannah, the executive director, I knew this place was special. Savannah actually did the assessment at the big, fancy, expensive nursing home and confirmed what I already suspected. We moved her out of there and Savannah actually drove out there and helped me move her stuff and my mom (I was visiting mom out of town). Over the next few days, I got a very up-close look at Harbor House and how the staff interacts with their residents. I popped in at unexpected times and walked through the adjacent buildings. I never saw a deviation from the excellence of care I saw the first time - not even once. I never saw residents mistreated or spoken to condescendingly, like I did at the other place. The caregivers are amazing women. Sam, Becky, Brittany, are really hands on nurses. Sam spent tons of time with me, discussing my mother's medications. The doctors call you and I spoke with Dr. Ernst about my mom for an hour! I couldn't even get the doctor at the big, fancy place to return my call! The place is small and it's warm and cozy - like a previous commenter said, it's not like an institution at all. It's like a home. My mom has an adorable sunny, private room with her own bathroom. She's always got someone there to help her. All I can say about this place except is that it's exceptional. I have learned that big, fancy nursing homes are usually understaffed and can't manage the needs of their patients. This place CARES for their patients. I don't need crystal chandeliers and big lobbies. I need individualized care with people who treat the elderly like the human beings they are. Harbor House does this. The owner of this facility needs to be very proud of his staff and his philosophies. I hope they never change. Amazing place.

Previously, this place was called Mount Prospect Senior Living. It's been almost a year since my…read morefather passed away here. Watching over him was one of the toughest challenges of my life. I can't tell you what the right choice is for you or for someone you care about, but I do know that I would not have made it through the nearly three years my dad was there without the concierges. They seemed to be the only ones who were consistently there. They knew who I was, they greeted me by name, they knew who I came to see and whether my dad had eaten, whether he had received his newspaper, whether he headed back to his room. They knew who to contact to resolve issues I was having. Simply they were THERE--dependable and friendly and so caring. There were many issues. I won't lie. It's my understanding that many many similar places have similar issues with turnover. Constant staff turnovers, especially multiple directors who came and went often--too busy to answer questions or care who I was, who my dad was, to return calls, to address my concerns. This place, like many others, is a corporate operation. It became my job to get to know the people who were caring for my dad. There were some constant caregivers and nurses that I Iooked for. What a relief to walk in and find someone who I knew, who knew me, and most importantly, knew my dad and cared about him. That's an incredible thing. Essentially, it's a stress-reducer and a life-saving thing. The concierge team and a handful of regular caregivers and nurses not only made my father's last years better but also kept me sane. My suggestion when you visit places for your family member, take note of the people who seem genuine (not the ones who are pitching the place). They are the ones who will matter. Look for heart. I can't really rate the place now, but I'm grateful for the people I met there who made the place a home.

They helped me have a better understanding of Dementia and the behaviors that come with it. Gisela and her staff deserve a metal, they are all so compassionate.

The facility is beautiful and the front office team is great - Shelly is a great Sales/Marketing Director. We moved my father in for less than a week; after various concerning observations in the Memory Care/Generations wing, we moved him back home. We had a list of concerns that we sent to Shelly (sales/marketing) and Jessica (nursing). They were very communicative and kind enough to escalate the concerns to the Executive Director, who who has changed 3 times since July 2023 (Deedra Moats, Helen Porter, Lori Cantway). In these 3 months, not a single Executive Director has been able to close the loop on communication, I have been passed off to the next person, with emails and voicemails that go unanswered. At one point, I connected with the Regional Vice President of Operations, who left Integral Senior Living (parent company to Mount Prospect Senior Living) Before she left, she sent a letter to residents announcing openings for a Resident Care Director and Business Office Director. I have even reached out to the Board of Directors to no avail. MPSL is a beautiful facility, and their front office team is very responsive. However, as soon as you begin to ask questions about the level of care given to your loved one, my experience is you are repeatedly ignored by upper management and above.

I was so touched at a recent visit to Nazarethville, I was brought to tears. But in a good way…read more This facility was founded in 1974 and sponsored by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth. It is open to all, but there are many retired nuns living here. On a side note- nuns do not receive any pension when they retire and many work as teachers and nurses, well into their 80's. It's a hard life. I believe that quality of life is the most important aspect of maintaining your health into a ripe old age. The combination of a home-like atmosphere, offering wholesome living, balanced nutritional programs with menu selection, medication supervision, social events and entertainment are what I believe makes Nazarethville so incredible. I was there on a Saturday with my seven year old niece. Her entire class was there to assist the residents in a lively session of bingo. The school requested that we bring a little gift- to be given as prizes to the winners. Apparently tissue is in big demand, because it is not provided and must be purchased by the residents. In addition to this, many people brought little stuffed animals and puzzle books and such. To see the joy and watch the faces of the residents light up when the children arrive is truly wonderful. The children enjoy themselves as well. It's really a win-win combination. Whenever the residents won at bingo, they were able to choose a gift. Although they desperately needed the Kleenex, they all chose the stuffed animals, and then the books and always gave the prize to the child that was assisting them. I can happily tell you that they organize these type of events on a monthly basis. They also have occasions where (well trained) dogs come in with their trainers for a visit. Another big hit! The facility is spotless and adorned with the most beautiful and inspiring artwork.- all painted by a resident. Sister Jolanta. Her beautiful paintings emit a magical light- similar to the work of Thomas Kinkade. She was an art teacher for many years, but I don't believe you can learn to paint like that. It's a gift from God. So remember, if you find any tissue on sale, buy a little extra and stop in Nazarethville. You'll be happy that you did : )

My sister Sandra moved into Chestnut Square at The Glen in August of 2023. We had done quite a bit…read moreof research and looked at three or four other communities in the region that were nice, but we ultimately chose Chestnut for a variety of reasons. First and foremost were the staff and residents. They were all some of the warmest and friendliest people I've ever met. Not only were they warm and friendly but extremely helpful and very competent, as well as accommodating. The food was excellent, and the entire building was very clean, well-maintained, and quite attractive. There was plenty of programming and amenities both at Chestnut Square, as well as a short walk away in The Glen Town Center. Just across the street is a beautiful natural area with paved paths, a lake, shops, and plenty of places to explore. During her time at Chestnut Square, Sandra made many close friends and even developed a wonderful, close, and fulfilling romantic relationship with another resident who lived down the hall. The most important thing, however, was the dedication the staff had toward the happiness and fulfillment of all the residents. It really showed how happy everyone was in the community. Pretty amazing! When Sandra's health declined and she needed more assistance, Chestnut Square was able to provide additional on-site support through its phenomenal sister affiliate, Partners in Healthcare. The caregivers from Partners treated her and her loved ones like they were their own family. This was all available in Sandra's original apartment with a very thoughtful aging-in-place model, so she wouldn't need to transfer to another floor or facility. The care was exceptional, providing her with warmth, dignity, and respect. It comes as no surprise that Chestnut Square (a non-profit organization) is driven by their dedication to residents as well as staff--who all seem to really enjoy working there. Our entire experience with Chestnut Square was wonderful and provided the whole family with tremendous peace of mind!
