Assisted Living Communities in Chicago Heights, IL

"The appearance of Tinley Court was nothing great, but it was OK. The rooms were fine. The staff member who gave the tour was very polite. They have a class for yoga and they have classes for crafts. They need to bring the place up to par and up to date."

"My mother is in Bickford of Tinley Park, it's a very nice place. They have quite a few aides or members of their personnel team, per resident, so they're staffed well. In some places, there's maybe one person for every 20, but here it's one for every six people, so that's good. The staff is very attentive and responsive, it's a very good place overall. From what I've seen, the food couldn't get any better. Mom is casually engaged in activities there. Whenever I go in there to visit her, there's quite a few people taking care of everybody and they're doing stuff all the time. I think that the value for money is fine. They also have a salon and a bunch of different things."

"It is new, so everything is fresh. The rooms are also the same. The person who assisted us during the tour showed us around and explained everything. She was great. They had a place for therapy, and we saw people coming back from going out for breakfast. The dining area was very pleasant, and supposedly they have a chef."

"My mom moved into Residences at Deer Creek assisted living. She's really happy there, everybody's been friendly and helpful, even with the move and everything. They're there for everything. They check on her, see if she needs anything. They take her down to the dining room and if she wants to eat in her room, she can eat in her room. It seems like there's a lot of people just there helping and trying to make sure that she has a good experience and everything that she wants to do. She went to bingo the first day. Everybody is very polite and helpful. Even the days that I've been there setting up to move in, getting my mom ready, and putting some things together, they've been there to help with the whole thing. I mean, they've helped me with anything that I needed. It's assisted living. The apartment could be furnished however you want to. She's got a 1-bedroom and I think she was happy about that. They have studios and 1-bedrooms. Her bedroom is nice and big and it enters right directly into the bathroom from the bedroom. It's a big bathroom and no step-in shower. It's got a seat in there and there's no ledge or anything. It's set up very well. She's got a living room area, kitchenette area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The kitchen and the living area are combined but there's plenty of room for her and enough room to have the stuff that she had that she enjoys. They have a rehab department and they got a big rehab room. They played bingo and different games. They have a craft area where they can do different crafts and they have somebody coordinate that. I haven't seen it, but I know they even put out a menu for the restaurant daily so that the residents know what the special for the day is. My mom went down and ate at the dinner table yesterday for dinner and she had codfish and shrimp. They have a chef there and the food is pretty good. I had a little bit of breakfast today and it was like you would get in a restaurant. It was good quality. I guess they also make omelets and Belgian waffles. I think they set up a big thing for breakfast down there. They even said you can put strawberries on the waffles. It's fine dining, really and it's pretty attractive. I thought it was really neat. When you walk in the front door, there is the reception area and it's a big lobby. Off to the left is a bistro there and then ahead is this big dining room. There are nice tables where you can sit in a nice big area. Everything is invoiced at the end of the month, which I thought was very nice. If somebody wants to go on dinner with someone, they just go and it gets invoiced. She's pretty happy there. She was nervous at first because she didn't know what to expect. She was just really impressed when she walked into that place. She couldn't believe that it's that impressive."

"We did 2 different tours at Brookdale Orland Park, the first time we're very impressed by the place. When my wife and I first visited, it looked really good. They had things going on for the residents, like they had music going on at the time and residents were listening to different kinds of music and reading what they had. This place is one of our top 3. I took my in-laws there and it was right after their Christmas party, but I wasn't impressed with how the place looked after the gathering. It seemed they had more of the memory people out in the lobby area than the assisted living people. So there were a lot of people that kind of didn't know where they were, and it was kind of uncomfortable. They have transportation and a salon, but they didn't have a pool."

"I've had my dad for a short stay at Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park. We were very happy with it, my dad has no complaints. It's a newer facility, around five years old, so it was new and everything's updated. The people seemed to be loving and caring and everything seemed to be in order. The staff seemed to be very caring, and there was a nurse who made sure that my dad takes his medication. They seemed to be very thorough and it was a beautiful facility. During the few times I was there to visit my dad, they have groups of people doing activities. They had a TV in a common room where they were singing along to songs and doing different things for memory care. They're working with the people there, so they weren't just sitting in a chair doing nothing. They weren't any more expensive compared to anyone else, they were the average price. They have a beauty salon available on the premises and they have an outdoor terrace that they can go out on."

"The way Victory Centre of Roseland was laid out was very nice. The apartments are beautiful and everybody seemed to be interested in what was going on with the residents. It was very nice, and the residents seemed to be happy there. During my visit, they were preparing for a bowling tournament using a Wii. They had a bus to take them shopping and on outings."

"I can't think of the young lady name but she was pregnant and tall. I was so overwhelmed and she calmed my nerves about placement for my mom and gave me a new view on how to look at things. The room was clean that she showed me the Building smelled refreshing. Her personality was great and the things she stated about the staff that worked there was reassuring. The residents had a great attitude about living there one lady stated she lived there 7 years and she loves it. Im looking to move mom in once her lease is up and hopefully im not to late because I can see why people love it there.."

"As our mother, Sarajane, aged, she needed different stages of help. Initially, she moved from her home in which we were all raised to an apartment for seniors near me, to living with my sister during Covid, to living at Two Hearts near my brother, which opened providentially at the precise time when an assisted living facility was needed for her care. We felt like we had personal family care with each new challenge. As mother aged from her 90s to 100, Two Hearts provided social, physical, and personal care beyond what we were capable of providing for her. We felt like we had an extended family through the owners and caretakers at Two Hearts. The three of us are thankful to God for his timing for mother’s care at each stage of life and for the loving care of Two Hearts Assisted Living."

"My father-in-law had stayed in Majestic Care of Saint Anthony AL respite. They had a chapel at the location so he didn't have to leave to go to church. That was a big thing and they have their daily mass, and then they have Sunday mass. The staff was great. They were helpful. He had no complaints either. The facility was fine. It was clean. What I saw there was damage to walls or something that wasn't repaired. When we came on tour, it was snowing, and it was icy outside and kept coming in on people's shoes and they were cleaning it up right away. They followed up after my father-in-law got home to see if there was anything mentioned my father-in-law liked or didn't like. I know that they always had something going on every day. They had a hot Tuesday Mardi Gras kind of thing the night before lunch. Then Wednesday, it was Ash Wednesday and he went to mass and got his ashes. He did tell me that he ate when they did Fat Tuesday cause they had all sorts of desserts and fun stuff. The price was reasonable and it wasn't outrageous."

"The cost in Victorian Village is much higher than any other place, because people in Homer Glen have problems with the water. They don't get the city water, but water from one person who controls the place. I saw the lobby and the dining room, it's a nice and comfortable place. The staff and the people I talked to there were super nice and wonderful. The place looked beautiful, was well-kept, and clean. They have porches in front of the building where you can sit. Patients with dementia and Alzheimer's live in small bungalows separate from the main building. They also have special care and special nurses. None of the other places have anything like that."

"We liked Bickford of Crown Point very much. When we first pulled up, we liked the aesthetics of the outside where it had a really nice apartment lobby kind of feel, with the house style and the greenery they had out there. Our first impression was, "Wow! This is nice." The rooms we saw were also nice and better than the apartment my grandma was in. The people that did the tour were all informative. My grandma was kind of finicky and they handled her and her questions well, so they were good. I was really impressed with the way the grounds looked, and I liked that they had good food on their menus and that they had activities where they actually got to make stuff. They had special things like actual programs for people that were dealing with the onsets of dementia, which was a huge selling point for us. It was an amazing place."

"We chose Marian Village because of location, the 2-bedroom apartment available was very beautiful and of right size and it had a good location in the building, and we liked that we wouldn't have to cook anymore. We could have dinner there, but we have a full kitchen and we can cook if we want. The place is beautiful, well run, and very clean. The people are very friendly, and they have a lot of good activities, both on-site and offsite. It is a Catholic organization and it has a beautiful chapel, and we are Catholics. We were very well treated and the lunch we had was very good."

"Such a wonderful home! Eddy and Janel have really created such a wonderful home! I am so glad we found TwoHearts!!"
