People pay a lot of money to live here and included in that is their meals. I don't think I would give it to my dog. I think the people living there are being taken advantage of and I am hoping to bring in an advocate for these residents. In my opinion not feeding people properly borders on neglect and social services should be checking them out!

I spent many hours keeping Mom company in her room, and every single interaction I overheard between staff and residents was kind, gentle and respectful. Every staff member is helpful, regardless of whether the current need is in their job description. All laundry is done daily, and the facility is always sparkly clean. The compassion we experienced was infinitely superior to nearly every setting we've encountered in life; I felt so cared for even in our initial admission meeting. So very thankful God brought my mom to Highland Oaks.

My 92-year old mother moved into one of their assisted living studios in the fall of 2014. Up until that point, she had lived on her own, so clearly, she wasn't very enthusiastic about the move. She wasn't as engaged in some of the activities as we might have liked, but it wasn't for lack of the staff's teasing encouragement (which she enjoyed). When her health deteriorated a year or so later, she moved into the more intimate memory care wing in a studio almost identical to the one she'd had, where the staff could keep her under watchful eyes. Before long, a hospice crew became part of her care team. As prickly as my mother could be, she was loved by members of the staff. Several of her caregivers wept the day she died and for me, that said it all. Difficult as it was, we had made the right decision. One other thing worth mentioning: it's not a huge community, so if it's important for your loved one to be in a place where everyone knows everyone else, this is a good choice.

From the owner: The Vines is uniquely owned and operated by registered nurses. We are a Sheltered Care Home…read morelicensed by the State of Illinois dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors in our community. Sheltered care is for seniors who do not require skilled nursing care, but do need assistance, and/or supervision in meeting their daily needs. We are committed to offer excellent, professional care in a safe, pleasant and social environment. Having compassion for each resident combined with our intimate setting, we strive to create a home like atmosphere. We treat each individual as if they were family, promoting personal friendships while maintaining a sense of independence, dignity, and respect. The Vines Senior Homes takes pride in the care for their residents providing them with a comfortable facility with a welcoming touch. We thrive on making a connection with our residents and their loved ones so that their experiences are gratifying and never overwhelming. Our staff knows each of our residents by name. They know them on a personal level not just by their room number. This is a huge benefit of being a smaller facility. We are the tiny home on the block busting at the seams with compassion...so much so that The Vines opened our beautiful new Assisted Living Wing.

The memory care unit is self-contained, consisting of a living room atmosphere surrounded by private bed/bath rooms. The resident does not need to navigate hallways or elevators. Everyday they have activities to exercise the mind and/or body. The staff turnover is low which is a plus. The nursing staff is one of the best, not just for the resident, but also for helping us manage expectations. We went from a one-star arrangement to ta 5-star arrangement at a lower cost and highly recommend River Glen.

I felt at home within the first week of our move. My husband took a little longer, but has made the adjustment. Everyone, staff and neighbors, have been very friendly and have made this transition a good one. There are plenty of activities available and our own ideas for activities are readily accepted. There is a lovely walking path within the courtyard of the townhomes and a lot of green space. Best of all, we were able to bring our dog, and she loves it here. There is frequently someone out sitting in the shade on a bench to give her attention. It is wonderful not to have to worry about outside. Maintenance responds in timely manner to issues arising in our home.

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...
