This facility is no longer Sunrise. It is owned and poorly run by Chapters. When I first moved my…read morefather here, the facility and staff were wonderful. As soon as Chapters took over, staff fled in fear of losing nursing licenses. Current admin in charge has, along with executives who own the company, created an unsafe environment for residents by: Enacting inadequate care staff-resident ratios. Resident exposure to sickness from key care staff who were sick themselves but unable to take any time off to get well. This spread illness to residents and sent my dad to the ER. Eventual discharge to rehab (Avantara of Lake Zurich) so that I could hopefully get my father well enough to get him OUT of Chapters led to father's demise and death in weeks. IDPH complaints were filed by me for both locations and Chapters twice - once for my diabetic, wheelchair-bound dad not having a working call cord for almost 2 months, him falling out of bed/going to the ER; another after his death. Not maintaining the property, including LACK OF: supplies for care/food service staff, bill payment for trash removal, emergency call cord maintenance, proper outdoor lighting to the building, working call box/door bell, and more. Having no check in/out system in place for safety. People are allowed in the building as they please, by anyone who is able to open the front door, GLARING lack of concern and knowledge of the Chapters of Barrington CEO about her memory care patients/staff who serve them. She claims to have dementia care expertise, but spends the majority of her time tending to a side job - not looking out for the well-being of the residents/staff in Barrington. She has lost residents (40 people is down to 26) due to families pulling their loved ones or death, but she cannot manage to know resident names or needs - medical or socio-emotional. She, herself, sent my grieving sister and I a bill for our dad AFTER he had died. When questioned, we were told it needed to be looked asked, "Who is your dad?" This, after multiple pointed interactions with both this CEO AND Chapters corporate. I am not one for conflict, but i felt it imperative to advocate for my own dad, for the other residents, and for care staff that were trying their best, but had their hands tied by admin/corporate ignorance, corner-cutting, and excuse-making. NOT acceptable when the cost for this is $10K/month. I have had direct experience with 5 asst. living/rehab facilities. The lack of true care is REAL... and it's appalling when you have NO OTHER CHOICE but to entrust care of your loved one to someone else. Look elsewhere than Chapters of Barrington

I am not a person that leaves reviews. In fact, this is my first yelp review EVER which means my…read moreexperience with Sunrise of Barrington has been so wonderful that I just had to sing their praises. My 88 year old mother has dementia and was in another memory care facility when it became apparent I needed to move her out of there ASAP...in the middle of the Covid pandemic. To say I was overwhelmed and nervous is an understatement. I checked out many different facilities and when I came upon Mary Seaberg (Director of Sales) at Sunrise of Barrington, I finally felt like I could exhale for the first time. Mary is so kind, patient and extremely informative. She took the time to really educate me which believe me, most facilities do NOT. She stressed to me the importance of communication there which was extremely important to me coming from a facility that had non-existent communication. It was also impressive to learn Sunrise of Barrington has had no positive cases of Covid since the start of the pandemic...no residents or staff. This was amazing to me coming from a facility that was on the news for their positive Covid cases. All things led me to make the decision to move my mom into Sunrise, and she has been thriving ever since! The care managers are wonderful...you can tell they really love the residents. The memory care director Robyn and nurse Jyoti are awesome and are the epitome of communication. I am given regular updates about my mom which is so crucial, especially so during these difficult times of the pandemic. They have an AWESOME activities coordinator Janelle who shares through an app all the latest projects, activities, etc. the residents are doing. You can feel the passion Janelle has for her job. It has been so great to see pictures of my mom participating! Rachel the receptionist always greets my calls (and believe me there have been MANY being new to Sunrise) with her warm, friendly and helpful manner. Kudos to Lynette the Executive Director for creating an environment where seniors are truly loved and appreciated and not considered a burden.

There are plenty of dining options, social activities, and areas for residents to socialize.

She entered just after Covid, new ownership transition along with a transitional Executive Director. There were some noticeable rough spots when she first entered, however the core staff was present which did not diminish high quality care that my mom received. Shout outs to the excellent care takers, activity directors and Katherine, the Health & Wellness director, for exercising great skill and compassion during this transitional period. There has been a noticeable improvement with current Executive Director Kirsten (in place since July of 2024). Kirsten is fantastic and maintains strong leadership in providing a high quality of life for the residents. Don't be distracted with the "Shiny Brand New" facilities that are popping up. It's the staff and the care that they provide that really matter - New Perspectives, Long Grove continues to provide excellent care for its residents.

Our family member was kept clean and comfortable with dignity at front of mind. We shared feedback regarding the weekend doctors communication being highly misleading/confusing for our family, due to coming in so early, saying so little, and focusing on what he thought we wanted to hear instead of what we needed to know (what's best for the patient). The other challenge we faced was related to the Home care side of the business systems not talking to the in-facility side of the business, so we had to repeat information such as funeral home. The worst fall-through with that was receiving a call from the home team to schedule equipment pickup while we were still in hospice, before a death....
