I knew from the beginning when AP calculated my mom's initial invoice incorrectly that moving her…read morehere was a BIG mistake. Pinebrook is nice, but the staff are very off-putting and somewhat dishonest. On move-in day, my mom went to the cafe for lunch, and I accompanied her. We were forced to sit with another man and his caretaker. There were several empty tables, but we were not allowed to eat privately. Next, the guy who is head of the dining room approached our table and asked who we were (as if we came in off the street to steal a meal). He assumed incorrectly that I was eating with my mom, but I had not ordered anything. He told me if I wanted anything it would be charged to her room. Ironically, that same evening, a Pinebrook Ambassador invited my mom to dinner. When my mom showed up alone, she sent my mom back to get me and my sister. She told the dining staff that we would all be eating for FREE since my mom was in the process of moving in. My mom only lasted 5 weeks. The food is terrible. Their website boasts "delicious, healthy meals." The meals are not delicious, nor are they healthy. My mother reported that everything tasted like it was reheated from a can. I also witnessed people sitting there for 20+ minutes without being acknowledged or served. Their website states they have a fitness center. The "fitness center" is about the size of a nice walk-in closet. It has a treadmill, a bike, and some weights. 24/7 concierge? Nope...... on the evening of Sunday January 26, after 8:00 PM, a few residents were locked outside. The automatic door was not opening to let them in. They pushed the button for help, and no one answered. One resident had to call her husband, who struggled with a walker, to come to the front door to let everyone in. My mom gave her 30-day notice around February 8. On Thursday February 20, my mom accidentally let her kitchen sink run over. She started running water and got side-tracked. (People get sidetracked.... one day I went to visit my mom and a female Pinebrook employee left her car parked in the circle, in front of the door blocking traffic, with the passenger door open and her purse on the front seat - she got sidetracked - it happens.) Water was in my mom's kitchen area and ran out into the hallway. The receptionist, her name starts with an L, called me at work to tell on my mom. She gave me a story that was hearsay. My sister went to assess the water, but it was already cleaned up. My sister spoke to L and asked her why she called me at work. They may have exchanged words but me adding it here would be hearsay (see what i did). On my way home from work, I called to see if I could speak to the Director (NG). Of course, L answered the phone. I asked her to give NG the message personally. I asked if maintenance moved the stove/refrigerator to clean up the water. She insisted they did (but I found a piece of wet cardboard under the stove - so did they move it?). And, then told me the unit was "highly damaged." When I told her my sister had already assessed the unit, L continued with her story. In fact, she started to talk over me so I raised my voice so L could hear that I was still talking. L accused me of being rude when she, in fact, was the rude one. I reminded her that I had already said "please" and "thank you " to her three times in the conversation. She hung up on me. On Friday, February 21, my mom went to the receptionist, L, and asked her to come and see the "damage". L refused and accused my mom of being aggressive. I would not be surprised if my mom said she would slap the crap out of L. My mom has a mouth. I do not believe for one minute that my mom was physically aggressive. As a result, I got a call from the director who told me that my mom could not stay there any longer. He also stated that my mom "had alcohol bottles in her apartment." I shut him down quickly as my mother does not drink. The bottles were in a box that was moved to Pinebrook in error. I left work on Friday and got my mom out of there. We moved my mom's belongings on Saturday February 22. I returned the keys and spoke to the director around 11:30 AM. I asked him who said my mom had alcohol bottles in the unit. "I don't remember." Of course, you don't. The bottles he was referring to were all wrapped in paper and INSIDE a box. I let him know that the common denominator in all the chaos (incorrectly reporting damage, reporting alleged aggression) was L, the receptionist. NG admitted that he should have been the one to assess the unit and call me. He also stated that "this happens all the time" (running water over into unit). And we would not be charged anything extra for the clean-up. After moving out, it took 3 emails and 2 calls to get a response from about the refund. We finally received a refund for the unused pre-payment of rent. I am thankful for that. However, the whole experience was unpleasant from start to finish.

I'm leaving this review based on my experience while providing care to a resident at Maple Knoll…read more Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed and uncomfortable with what I witnessed. During my time there, I observed situations where a resident's call light remained on for an extended period while staff members were sitting in the hallway talking and laughing. I found myself having to assist with many of the resident's needs because staff were not responding as promptly as I would have expected. I understand that I am there to provide support, and I am more than willing to help, but there are certain things I cannot do because I do not have the same access or responsibilities as facility staff. I also witnessed interactions from some staff and therapy personnel that came across as impatient and unkind. Residents in a care facility deserve patience, dignity, compassion, and prompt attention--especially when they are asking for assistance. What bothered me most was seeing staff socializing and laughing in the hallway while a resident was waiting for assistance. Whether or not there were other circumstances I was unaware of, the situation did not give me confidence in the level of attentiveness being provided. I'm sharing this because I genuinely hope management takes these concerns seriously. The residents deserve better. They deserve to feel cared for, respected, and heard--not like they are an inconvenience.

Unfortunately the staff is not fully vaccinated and Covid has run rampant among the staff. Which resulted in my sweet mother's death. Yes, the un vaccinated staff killed her.

We pulled our mom out after realizing they had only 2 staff members on shift for 15? Memory care patients? Disgraceful. I hope on judgement day those unvaccinated staff members see who they killed, a sweet, kind, gentle, vaccinated woman who had more life left in her. You should all be ashamed.

By not including any less than complimentary comments a clear picture is not being presented. My mother (and my father until his passing) lived in the Seasons community for 11 years - 9 years at Seasons and 2 years at Courtyard. The years in independent living was tolerable - Courtyard, not so much. The lack of staffing, particularly at night, was very concerning. When you have one nurse on duty and a scattering of aides handling 3 floors of elderly residents, this is makes for a less than ideal assisted living arrangement. Care conferences were never held, repairs requested for her apartment (broken tile in bathroom - possible trip hazard), thorough apartment cleaning as stipulated in lease agreement each took over a year to achieve. Other than an ideal location there is nothing ideal about Courtyard. My mother at age 96 passed away recently and no one in the management of Senior Lifestyle had the humanity to even utter condolences to our family. Concerns regarding the facility were also voiced to the President of Senior Lifestyle in their Chicago headquarters and has also been completely ignored. Would NOT recommend this facility to any family looking for an assisted living facility.
