Assisted Living Communities in Manteno, IL

"My mother will be moving into Prairie Green at Dixie Crossing. It's supportive living. They have a lot of activities, and they have a lot of assistance for seniors with meals and just overall personal care. They'll help her with bathing, with washing clothes and medications. The staff member was very warm and very helpful. It's clean, and the upkeep is very good. They have transportation to take them to stores and doctor visits as well."

"My sister is at Sunrise of Flossmoor. It is extremely clean. There's easy access for family members. There is a nursing staff 24/7, as well as a concierge for security. They have numerous activities and outings. The dining area is more restaurant style, and the residents can more or less choose what they want off of the list of things for that day. They have very nice people. They are friendly and active. The medical staff is very interactive with us, so that if there are issues we know right away. It's just a good facility. They have all kinds of activities. There is exercise, outings to the library, ice cream socials, bands, and all kinds of activities that are brought in. There are crafts, cards, and entertainment. It's very nice. They try to keep the residents active in many ways. They also have a facility mascot, like a dog and a cat, for the residents. The staff is very helpful and very friendly to my sister. They keep me informed so I know what is going on, and that's all good. Whether it's medical or not, I know what's taking place, and I know she's getting the care that she needs. The food is very good, but I think there could be more monitoring as far as what food a resident is ordering, like if they're trying to control their diabetes and so forth there could be monitoring for that, and there could be more staff to serve the dinner and food items in a more timely fashion. I think the rooms are a little bit expensive and there is some marijuana smoke that you can smell sometimes at the facility, which I'm sure is a resident that's doing that. When you're spending $5,000 or more a month or $7,200 for the memory care, which is a separate unit, I don't think you should have to have that, even though it is recreationally legal. I just think there should also be a Medicaid option, and there's not a Medicaid option there."

"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."

"Charter Senior Living of Hazel Crest was smaller than the others, which seemed more personable. It's very nice. The people that we met were pretty nice. They seemed to be more hands-on, even more so because they don't have as many people to deal with. I met as many staff members as I could that I would be dealing with on a daily basis. It's a great facility."

"We recently moved our mom into Two Hearts Homes for Seniors, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The environment truly feels like a home—not a facility. The private rooms, warm décor, and open family-style layout make such a difference. We’re especially thankful for the attentive staff and their personalized approach. Mom feels cared for, seen, and safe."

"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."

"We chose Victory Centre of Sierra Ridge for Dad because they take Medicaid. Everything seemed fine. It's clean. Ashley was fantastic. They have arts and crafts and games. They have a whole room with various activities. The eating area was clean, and the people seemed to be enjoying the food. The room that they showed me was very nice. I think my dad will be very happy there. They have physical therapy and other things that I think will be beneficial to him."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"I toured Marian Village. They were a little less expensive, but the place itself just seemed so vibrant, alive, energetic, and bright. The place seemed very new and very updated. When you walked in, you were welcomed by the person at the front desk. The price, I think we could handle. The tough part is they require an entrance fee of $90,000. I have noticed reviews that are not too high, but when I did the tour, they had like a little bistro, and some residents were having omelets and things like that, and the food smelled amazing. They have a lot of events. They had a nice exercise room. They had laundry on each floor and seemed to have more dining areas. They give 400 points per month, and each point is equal to a dollar. You can use those points in the cafeteria or the dining area, and they don't carry over to the next month. They kind of give you an allotment, and then if you go over that, you start to pay. Mary Beth gave me the tour. She knew all the residents. She's very good and very thorough. Everything was so clean. There wasn't a spot on the carpeting. There wasn't a whole lot of carpeting. There was more of the vinyl plank flooring type of things. The dining room was set for dinner, and they had cloth napkins, glasses, and silverware. Everything seemed to be clean. Throughout the whole tour inside the rooms, in the laundry rooms, or the dining area, there was no stale odor or anything like that as you toured it. It was very clean, not like bleach clean or anything like that. It was just a fresh, clean environment."
