Autumn Green at Midway Village

I visited a former client at Autumn Green at Midway Village in Chicago. This retirement community offers assisted living options. My former client reported being very happy with the level of care he was receiving from all the staff. He even stated there was a nurse he felt took very good care of him and he liked joking around with her. It was wonderful to see him happy and doing well. I found the facility to be clean and well maintained. I was also able to see the staff busy ar work with the residents. Overall, I would recommend this assisted living community

I'm not a professional so it would be difficult to rate this facility. I understand that most assisted living or nursing homes get a bad rap. However, when I went to visit this facility I was very surprised. It wasn't gloomy or dreary by any means. The tenants were treated very well. The staff was attentive to the needs of the tenants and the facility seemed well cleaned. The tenants had a variety of activities to keep them busy and there was plenty of security to ensure the safety of the people living there. There was controlled entry and plenty if security cameras. There was also on sight medical personnel and equipment in addition it helps that there is a relative closeness to nearby hospitals so that it provides safety and security of mind for both the residents and their families.

I'm not a professional by any means when it comes to judging assisted living facilities. To be honest, sometimes they can creep me out. I have always been leary of them as well, as far as the treatment of the admitted tenants. But truthfully, when I did visit this facility, I was surprised to see such a nice, clean facility which fully provided the needs of the tenants. There was a dedicated staff, plenty of activities, and the decor was upbeat and bright. As far as security and access to the building, there was a controlled entry and all guest were monitored via camera upon entry. This gave me a large sense of security while visiting, and I would imagine the security aspect is a major part of why they chose this facility.

Autumn Greens is an enjoyable assisted living facility geared towards elderly individuals who want to maintain an active an mostly independent lifestyle while still taking advantage of the benefits of an assisted living. Towards that end, Autumn Greens does a good job. The rooms are more like apartments than hospital rooms, but at the same time are designed to be able to service the individual needs the occupant may have. Also, between the communal air of the place and the friendly staff, the family I have who have stayed there enjoy the time the spend there. Further more , the on sight medical personnel and equipment in addition to the relative closeness to nearby hospitals provides safety and security of mind for both the residents and their families. Between the communal free style of the Autumn Greens and their competent and dedicated staff and facilities, Autumn Greens is an ideal assisted living home for seniors who desire to maintain their active lifestyles.

While searching for a place for my aunt to live, I visited the Autumn Green facility at Midway Village. The Chicago Lawn area is easy to get to by car or public transport. My aunt really liked the well-kept park setting because the outdoors had always been a big part of her life. My aunt is very sociable and the types of cultural outings and events offered suit her well. A variety of fresh, healthy foods are offered and suit all dietary needs. We even got to enjoy fresh-baked bread during our visit. Snacks are available all day every day. The rooms are all nicely sized and decorated. The staff and management are very accommodating and eager to make the residents and visiting families comfortable. My aunt at times has memory issues, and there is always someone close by to assist her. Those who were not ambulatory seemed well-cared for. However, the weather is an issue in Chicago, so we had hoped there would be more indoor exercise class options and machines available. Since my aunt requires more physical exercise variety, I would give the facility an overall rating of 3.
