    Formerly was The Oaks of Bartlett…read more The rehab center is very good and the PT OT were friendly, nice and helped my mom recover. The nurses & nurses aides were attentive and helpful. They enjoyed their patients and responded nicely to them. Family were able to ask questions and got responses. This is NOT JUST ONE family with the following. You talk with others while there: The "Social Worker " is not certified from what I was told. Rolando, is USELESS. He says he will help find a place once the patient is leaving. He DID NOT. We had to push, ask questions, meet, etc. NOTHING was really offered. He finally said he had phone numbers to give us. That piece of paper with 10 facilities on it, was USELESS. I found 2 to be possibilities but those didn't pan out. On most, there is no distinction which are rehab, asst living, nursing. WHY THEY HIRE SOMEONE in this position, I do NOT understand. Anyone can hand out a paper or cards and leave if up to the family. He DID NOT make call/connections for us. He did tell us that they have info for those WHO CAN PAY which I figure is probably their 1st or 2nd floor residents. BE CAREFUL as Rolando will have an exit date. IF it is NOT reasonable, speak up. He was going to send MOM home by AMBULANCE as she was not mobile. I asked what we do once she arrives. He then changed the date. She was able to walk with assistance when she left on a later date. So, the patient is treated well, and rehab is good. IF you have lots of money to cover for residence afterwards, it's probably OK. However, there are even NICER places if you search ALDEN, Arbor Terrace in Naperville, Sunrise, some of the Heritage Woods, Asbury Gardens, Victory Center of Bartlett. Research and find one.

    Great staff. 5-star health care center. Wonderful home-like environment. Highly recommended.read more

    SYMPHONY OF HANOVER PARK / 3RD FLOOR NURSING…read more I would agree with all the negative comments here. Many of the nurses aren't attentive, there is no communication and they simply don't care about the patients or the facility. It's impossible to find out any information. I came here as a cardiac patient (Heart failure) and had to wait numerous times for a nurse to answer my call light. The last straw was today when I waited over 1 hour and 22 minutes. Some of the nurses were nice and attentive but most don't really care. Sometimes this is a earmark of the people that own and manage because they purposely under staff, over work and under pay nurses, particularly the foreign ones. You can forget about your room being cleaned, bed made or a bath on the weekends. If you have a love one take them somewhere else. ***** 5 STARS go to Carol, Ashley and Stacy for the Rehab Unit (Different than the overnight nursing unit at Symphony) I came in not able to get into or out of a car, do stairs or walk very far. In just over two weeks I am now able to get into and out of our car, do stairs and walk further. Wish this rehab had out patient.

That level of personal attention has made a difference in her comfort and happiness. Sunrise is clean and welcoming without feeling clinical. You are always greeted with a smile. There are plenty of common areas where residents can relax, socialize, or participate in activities. There's always something going on, daily fitness classes or fun gatherings. It's reassuring to know that my mother is actively engaged. The meals are well-prepared and diverse. It feels much more like a restaurant experience than a cafeteria. We've seen an improvement in my mother's overall well-being since she moved in. She's more active, and social. I would recommend this retirement community to anyone looking for a place where their loved one will be treated with dignity, kindness, and genuine care.

They told us he would have a geriatric psychiatrist visit for proper dementia meds and a room in memory care. After 8 weeks, no meds, no bed on the memory care floor and now we have to admit my Dad into a hospital to get the proper dementia meds. Unfortunately, we still have to pay them. If your loved one has dementia please consider somewhere else that specializes in memory care.

Due to the global pandemic, our application and move-in process was complicated and delayed, so our family was very stressed. I cannot say enough positive words about Starr and Vicki. They communicated with me regularly throughout the process to ease my stress and offer comfort. Even now, a few months after Dad's move-in, they still email or text me just to say hello and see how my Dad and the rest of the family is doing. These two women are kind and compassionate, and they truly helped our family through a very difficult time! There were times when I felt discouraged, so I would call Starr because I knew that her positive encouragement would make me feel better. She even called Dad to encourage him when I was worried that he was getting disconsolate. Now Dad is settled in at Victory Centre and he is very happy! He tells me that everyone is so kind and helpful. He says that the food is very good and he is happy with his apartment. He told me that it is perfect for him because he has privacy and independence in his own space, but he feels safe with the regular check-ins. He put it this way: "the staff makes themselves quietly known throughout the day." The staff is kind and they treat the residents with respect. I have been able to relax knowing that his medications are administered on time every day and he is being well cared for. The staff communicated with me regularly about my dad, and I have had wonderful conversations with Lora and others. One last note, we really appreciate that Victory Centre is taking the global pandemic seriously. They are taking every necessary precaution to keep their residents, caregivers, and staff safe! In comparing numbers of cases at local facilities, it is obvious that Victory Centre is taking the right precautions. I miss my Dad, and I wish that I could go and hang out with him in his apartment, but I know that he is in excellent hands! The caregivers and staff at Victory Centre are true heroes and wonderful human beings!

The reason for my…read moreprocrastination writing this review is the fact that I couldn't imagine how to write it without praising the 50ish staff by their individual names and departments!! The warmth, concern, heart, and genuine care they feel is palpable throughout. As a result, she and her friends are comfortable, engaged, well-fed, observed by such loving, caring, dedicated nurses and sweet aides, and I have such relief knowing that she is living a life with purpose and activity, and constantly tells me how much she loves it there, and raves about the staff and the residents. Actually, a client of mine told me how much his Mom loved it there years ago, and I thought of that when I first brought her to visit. Best decision ever!! She was very scared, hesitant, but they turned her around gently but quickly and she is back to her fun self again, and it is just wonderful. There are no words for the peace having her there gives me. It's a blessed Victory! When I asked one of her now great friends about his experience living there her first week as a resident he enthusiastically said "best group of people I ever met" - so true. Smiles are all over both staff and residents and I love just being around them, but my Mom is so busy now, I have a hard time finding her when I visit - I love it!! Once again, without mentioning names, if they are employed there, I'm describing each one with this glowing review, and because they mean so much to me, and consider so many dear friends now, I will not leave anyone out, because I will run out of room. Just know this attitude started at the front door on the first day, and never disappointed since. I know she is in good hands, and it means the world to me - and so do they. So grateful and lucky to have Victorius Vicki, their Lovely Chief, beautifully, gracefully, managing this sweet spot - oops, I mentioned a name...

We visited a few senior living facilities but Westbrook stood out because it has an upbeat decor and vibe, and not a gloomy atmosphere like the other places we checked out. The Westbrook staff has helped tremendously with my mom's progression from assisted living to memory care. It has obviously been difficult to see my mom decline from Alzheimer's and aphasia but knowing that my mom is extremely well taken care of has given my family some peace. My mom is always dressed and clean. My mom is comfortable. Her room is always clean. There are daily activities in MC. It is not just leave the residents to watch tv all day. The amazing staff is always interacting with the residents. There are many staff members who have worked at Westbrook for years. I think that says a lot about how Westbrook is managed and the culture. Throughout this journey the staff has become like family to us. We trust their care with my mom. I highly recommend Westbrook and my family feels blessed for their care.

We were struck immediately by how Franciscan Court had what can only be described as a warm/family feel to it. It was evident that the people living there were happy and very well taken care of.

All of our interactions with the staff was a positive one and it was evident that our mother was receiving the kind of care we had always hoped for her to have. I would strongly encourage anyone who is looking for a place where they can rest assured that their loved one is receiving quality care in a safe and positive environment to consider Franciscan Court.

The staff (cnas) care 100% and I wish their management saw their value. They are the heart of this facility. However decisions made at the office level are short sided. Overall activities went down over the year we were there. Staff turnover was higher. Communication with staff was non existent putting it on my mother to instruct their staff what they could or couldn't do. (Putting undo stress on her.) What they put my mom and me through at the end was awful. Again not the CNAs but the office. They evicted us with one month notice. I had to come daily to get my mother up and ready for the day. The CNAs were told not to and also were not even informed of our notice.
