Assisted Living Communities in Glenwood, IL

"I toured the Prairie Green at Fay's Point. It was a great and impressive place. The staff was very knowledgeable, very engaging, very thorough with all the information. The tour was great. The facilities are great. I even toured one of the units. They explained every piece to me, from meals to the services that they provide, everything, even the process of applying to their facility, so I was very pleased. I am going back to take my mom and my sister to view the place. The layout was great, the outdoors was nice, and they had a walking path. I also liked that they had a nurse's station on each floor. It was very nice when you walked into the place. The lobby area was very festive for the holiday. It has the Fall scene in the hallway which was very nice. It was clean, the staff at the lobby area was engaging, and the residents seemed like they were happy. They had a salon. They had a workout area. They had a library and computer area, which they also helped seniors work on the computers. They also had a rehabilitation facility. They had a different activity board of the things that they have that the seniors can do. They had transportation for the residents. I liked the fact that they have to buzz you in to get into the facility, and no one can just walk in. So that was good as well. The lunchroom was huge. I like the fact that they take your order and you could bring it to the table."

"I found a memory care facility that is going to work really well for my mother, and she is moving into Residences at Deer Creek. It has a homey atmosphere, and it was not as expensive as the other one, and I thought she'd get taken care of better at this place. It's $2,000 cheaper a month. The staff was amazing, and they still are going above and beyond to make sure that this is as easy as possible to transition her into this home. I've seen the menu, and I've talked to the residents. I would move in there and eat there every day. Their menu is fantastic. It has a variety of all kinds of different things that they can eat. They have a chef who has won awards for her culinary expertise at this home. The common areas are clean and well-kept. The place does not smell like a nursing home because it's not a nursing home. They have independent care, assisted living, and memory care all in this building. It looks like a giant hotel from the outside. They have a concierge and a bistro. The common areas have couches and chairs and big screen TVs. If you don't want all the noise and all the activity, there are smaller sitting rooms where there's no TV and it's just nice and quiet. There are exercise rooms and activity rooms. For the memory care, there is secure outdoor access. It's a nice place. I'd move there."

"My mom was released from a rehab facility before having the medical equipment in place to continue her quality of life. The staff went above and beyond to work with other companies to get my mom the tests and medical equipment she needed. Mom is in the process of recovering but would have ended up back in the hospital, if it was not for the quick response and resources of Bickford. Thank you for all your help."

"It has apartments where the residents could bring in a caretaker, and they can actually live in there. Then they have a nurse and staff, but it's totally different than the other facilities that are memory care. They had a lot of activities, and it was a very clean place. They had a professional gourmet chef on staff. So, the food looks a little more than just generic meals. The whole facility is brand new. The staff member who gave me the tour, she was very knowledgeable. They have a little theater in there, and the activities were just basic activities. I didn't see anything extraordinary for memory care there that she explained. It just looked like there were more gourmet meals versus family style meals, I would say; there was nothing cooking at that time. The facility is very clean."

"Our father was a resident in assisted living at StoryPoint for a year. The staff was kind, friendly, caring, and patient, and they tried to gently encourage him to socialize and take part in the activities but always respected his right to choose what he did and didn't want to do. We were in regular contact with the administrators and nursing staff, who would keep us updated on how things were going. When he was hospitalized, they called periodically to check in. They were also very accommodating when we came to clean out his apartment. StoryPoint is one of the good ones. A caring team, clean facilities, and a lot of residents looking to connect with each other."

"I toured the Victory Centre of Roseland. The staff was very engaging and very informative. He let me know what would take place while my dad stayed there, the activities, the meals, and the things that he would get. They have daily activities. They do laundry. They do housekeeping. The dining area was clean. It's open and spacious, and the people don't have to sit on top of each other."

"We toured Brookdale Orland Park and toured the assisted living for my mother-in-law. We liked everything, but it was the price that sold it for us. The rooms were nice. The staff who gave the tour was excellent. The activities and amenities were also good. Cable is included, the landline would be your own, there's no TV or a microwave, but there's a refrigerator."

"I was a resident of Victory Centre of South Chicago for 10 years. The staff were all nice. All the managers from the other building were nice to us. They had a lunch thing downstairs, you can go in and buy your food if you want. They could serve a meal, but we cooked our own food, too. If we didn't feel like cooking, then we could go downstairs and eat in the cafeteria. The facility was nice and clean. They cleaned up every day. They kept everything cleaned up for us. The janitors were nice. They helped us with everything we asked for. Anything we need to be moved out, they moved for us. They did everything for us. We played bingo and solitaire. We played everything up in that building. I loved it. That's why I said if I have to, I will go back. That's why I had to keep my name on the list and she said she'll keep me in touch when a vacancy becomes available. I told her my daughter was going to have surgery, and then I would go back to that building. That building was so nice. Everybody was friendly with no problem. I enjoyed that building."

"We visited Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park and toured their assisted living for my mother-in-law. The community is excellent. I like everything about it, but the price. The room was very nice. It had a TV, refrigerator, and a microwave. The person who gave the tour was excellent. The dining area was very nice, but I didn't taste the food. The upkeep and maintenance were also excellent."

"We liked Clarendale of Mokena, but they had no availability. It was clean and friendly. They had a theater, an exercise room, libraries, and nice areas to sit down and relax."

"Sunrise of Palos Park! Nice and friendly staff! Very helpful and the rooms are clean and sunny! Nice large windows with nice views. We are so glad to have moved my farther in here. Love the doggie too! Carolyn"

"I visited Majestic Care of Saint Anthony and toured their assisted living facility. The people who worked there were very friendly, outgoing, and very helpful. I like the rooms, especially the ones that have one bedroom. The place was very clean, inviting, and interactive. I saw a place where you could play games and do puzzles. The dining area was also very nice and well-lit."

"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."

"I visited Bickford of Crown Point's assisted living. The community was very nice, and I enjoyed that tour. It looked like a newer facility. I only got to see one room, and it was alright. It didn't have a bedroom or a living area. It's more like a studio. The upkeep was excellent, though. I liked their dining area. They also have an area where you could go and get snacks when the dining room is not open, and I like that. It's like a little bistro. They have a little outdoor area. I like sitting outdoors, so it's nice."
