Horrible. If you're looking here for your loved one, ask them how many Executive Directors they…read morehad. At least 10 since the place opened in 2022. Just this week, Jim, one of the Activity Directors, was fired suddenly, after three years of providing great service to the residents. Food is awful, and lacks choices or quality. Have a special diet? Too bad. Eat what they make-- and pay $400/month for it! Mom needs low sodium and asked for alternatives for breakfast. She was told that she should just eat the sausage. Ummm....no. She cannot. Please do not treat her like an incompetent child. She is fully aware of what she can and cannot eat! But the most egregious?? Try having no way for the EMT's to access an apartment after hours. My mom fell and hit her head. She couldn't open the door. They had to break the lock to get in! And five months later, the lock is still broken. Still not convinced to stay away? This week, they drove my mom to Sherman Hospital for an appointment she had there. The bus never returned. My mom called me, saying she'd been waiting over 2 hours. My mom, who is 87 years old, was told they were coming and they never came. I called to find out when she could expect the bus and was told, 'oh, I thought she was home'. They had *no idea* that my mom was left behind. I had to go and get her and bring her back. Needless to say, she is moving to Clarendale at the end of this month. Do yourselves a favor and stay away from this den of incompetence and disregard. oh, and the other review that mentions the wonderful Director, Brian? he lasted about 6 weeks.

He took us to the desired apts, allowing us to " get a feel" for the size and style, layout while also answering all questions , ( trust me there were a lot ). As we were looking at the different floor plans, he was also talking and showing us all of the amenities throughout the community. We ended up at the main restaurant, where he invited us to return and enjoy breakfast ,lunch, or dinner, , further getting a feel for what goes on, and resident interaction.After we completed the tour, we asked for a few minutes to sit and chat, but also observe how some of the other residents interact daily. We were very pleased, with the looks, the tour, and also with Brian's patient and knowledge, and the "No Pressure" attitude. My mom said she felt good about everything!! We agreed to return the next day with my son so he could see and get a feel for the community where she would be staying. He agreed, it was comfortable and the right place for grandma. After having a little discussion, we all agreed and signed the lease. What a wonderful experience for mom, as well as myself, and even my son.

Clarendale has greatly exceeded our family's expectations. After my mother passed in February of…read more2017, my 84 year old father needed an assisted living facility that met a variety of his needs - food preparation, housekeeping, personal assistance, 24 hour nursing and entertainment. Clarendale provides these services but goes WAY above and beyond what is normally expected. There is a bar with a daily happy hour, a theater room, health club, spa, salon, fine dining, cafe and even a house golden retriever. If you want to celebrate holidays at the facility, you can rent out a private dining room that has a capacity of 10-12. Clarendale feels more like a W Hotel than a retirement home. For years leading up to my father's move, i contacted a variety of assisted living facilities in the NW suburbs and routinely concluded the calls shaking my head. Aggressive sales pitches and evasive language were the norm (Friendship Village was the worst in this regard). While Clarendale does employ sales staff, it isn't so over-the-top. Moreover, staff are engaged and appear genuinely interested in providing a superior experience. In terms of the overall package (apartment finishing, staff, facilities, extra amenities), Clarendale is exceptional - better than Sunrise and Friendship Village. As this facility recently opened, everything is in pristine condition. In terms of superlative alternatives, the only option I found is Mather [of Evanston], which has few locations and, like a timeshare, can require over a million dollars upfront (literally over 1 million USD to buy in). That being said, Clarendale is great. There are a few corner apartments remaining as of April 2017, so if your loved one is seeking something posh with views of two separate directions, I would highly recommend grabbing one of these units before they are occupied.

They had a wonderful room together and were very happy. My dear mother passed about two years ago. My father wanted to stay in the room they shared her last few years and Revere Court told us that room would always be my father's room. The staff treats my father like family. They are kind, thoughtful and always treat him with respect no matter what. My family has been extremely happy with everyone there. Pam is exceptional. She is always there to answer any questions we have. I want to mention Jim the night nurse also. He has been always there for us when ever we needed to have dad checked on late at night or just a evening chat with dad. Thank you to all the staff there. We appreciate all of you.

It is my life's greatest regret that I chose this place as my mothers' final residence. They lure…read moreyou in with empty promises, it all sounds lovely until your loved one is in residence, then it's a very different story. GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING!! But also, good luck with that, as the communication once all the forms are signed and the automatic payment is set up is an absolute joke. I have pages of emails that went unanswered (I live out of state). My sister called with questions and left multiple voicemails over 12 months, not one call was returned. Not one! It wasn't until I copied every name I could find that I finally received a response to questions like How do I get my mom on the schedule to see the onsite doctor? Who can I talk to about her prescriptions? Her refrigerator is still not working... 3 months later. Etc. In hindsight, I am convinced the reason they never responded to my emails is, so I did not have their response in writing. When I asked very important questions in writing, then escalated my email after weeks of no response, I would get a phone call saying I should come in to discuss it. Never a written response. This happened multiple times. My final two emails asking how to close out my mom's accounts, after months of no communication, also went unanswered. I had to call corporate to get a response. Julie is the most unprofessional person I have ever had the misfortune to interact with. There were 3 different Health & Wellness Directors in the 12 months that my mother lived there. That alone speaks volumes. Read the reviews on Indeed! I wish I had. For the most part, the medical staff was good. There were a few that were rude and borderline negligent toward my mom, and there were a few that were absolute gold and genuinely caring, but that just goes with the territory. My issue is when I tried to address some of my mom's complaints or concerns, I was met with "I'm sure that's not what happened". Or "She must have misunderstood" or nonsense like that. I witnessed one event, and it wasn't until I said Are you accusing her of lying? that she backed off the narrative that there's no way anything my mother was saying happened. Beware! They will not believe your loved one. They will deny everything instead of simply addressing the issue. They'll tell you their average response time is 6 mins from when the resident hits the button to call for help, that is not the reality at all. I witnessed multiple times where it was over 15 mins if not longer. Most times it was around 10-15 mins but there were far too many times when it wasn't. There were 2 instances at night when there was no response at all until the next day. The bigger issue for me was when I tried to speak to Julie about my mom's concerns about the long wait times or lack of response entirely, her response was to tell me that my mom was the 2nd highest quantity of requests for help. And? She's there because she needs help, and their response to not keeping up their end of the very expensive bargain is to say it's my mom's fault because she asks too many times??? Absolutely unacceptable. They'll tell you housekeeping is included - not true. I had to clean every time I went to see her. The hospice nurse even cleaned while she was there. When we moved my mom's furniture, the extent to which they did not clean was gut wrenching. They did keep to the laundry schedule for the most part, but they left us with a full hamper of dirty laundry when she passed. Over a weeks' worth. They didn't even have the decency to spare us that even though she was still under their care and we continued to pay for weeks after her death. They didn't call to offer condolences, but you better believe they called to find out when the apartment would be vacant. They did not return my calls when I asked when to expect the refund due to us 4 months after she passed. I could go on and on but just writing this breaks my heart. Don't make the same mistake I did. A mistake that will haunt me for the rest of my life.

The day we were to…read morediscuss assisted living with her doctor, I found myself calling 911 and sending her to the hospital for what would be 51 days, sepsis, 2 surgeries & 2 rehab stints. Having her return home was no longer an option; which led me to quickly get to up to speed on senior living options,mostly on my own. I found her a place & moved her in all before her release. While I ensured her safety, I second guessed my decisions as she vocally struggled to adjust; it was a lot of change particularly for someone who rarely left her home. Almost 6 months in, a different set of doubts & worries took over. Did I make the right call, could she live somewhere more affordable, would she outlive her money, etc. I don't even recall what search term led me to Senior Living Experts, but I'm grateful. Rebecca listened to my story and made me feel less alone. She thought where my mom was at was the best option in terms of cost, desired location and care needs addressed, but would do the research and circle back. We also discussed the care she received currently and provided a few suggestions. As promised, Rebecca followed up and confirmed her initial assessment. Yes, I'll still worry about her finances, but I now have a better understanding of the landscape and what comes should her care needs increase. If I had a do over, I would have started with Senior Living Experts, they are amazing!
