Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Cicero, IL

"My parents have been residents for a short period of time and have already adjusted wonderfully! First I have to say that the facility is immaculate! Fresh water stations with fruit and seating areas throughout! The staff is so nice and very helpful with anything you need. Their apartment is very spacious with every accommodation you can think of! Motion sensors, grab bars, modified tub for easy access, higher outlets and more. They are most excited about the convenience of the dining room that offers a big selection on the menu. They love to participate in all the events provided where they have already made many friends. Overall my parents couldn’t be happier about their decision to transition to independent living from their single family residence of 60 years and in turn makes the entire family happy!"

"I had to visit Vi at The Glen assisted living facility because years ago my friend's grandmother and a friend of mine was a resident here. This facility has a pretty pleasant living arrangement, in which people with special needs are provided with a wonderful care. The staff is very qualified and friendly. They were patient and helpful to answer questions and taking care of the patients. My friend's grandmother was very pleased. She got new friends in this place. It seemed like this kind of people can have a good time here. The food was pretty healthful and the activity schedule seemed pretty typical. The facility has good design. It's light and bright atmosphere . Bathrooms has safety seats and rails. The unit has good views. There's regular fitness classes, and recreational activities like walking clubs and golf outings to local courses. So i can recomend this facility for your old relatives "

"We put mom over in Victorian Village. We love the place and the staff is good. It is well kept. They have activities. Over all it is a very good experience. "

"My aunt lived here for quite a long time, and she needed further services so she transferred to another facility. They have lots of choices for the accommodation, and it is spacious and clean. The dining room was OK, they have multiple bedrooms, and the facility looked secured. They have activities I believe according to their calendar."

"My aunt is a resident at Monarch Landing and she was very happy there. The staff was very nice to her. I saw their dining room and it was always quite impressive. They place has a computer room, a gymnasium, a swimming pool so it was quite extensive. "

"My wife is in Addolorata Villa. They watch movies, and they play games. They go on a bus trip twice a week, and they go to different stores and other places. My wife gets three meals a day. The staff is fine. I think they are doing a good job. They are quick in responding to her needs. I think it is a nice place. They keep her busy all day. "

"I visited Hearthwood Senior Living. They were undergoing renovations, so we could see through that. They have an indoor pool. They have two meals a day. They have a private dining room, a wine cellar, and a bistro. They have happy hours on Wednesdays and Fridays. The two-bedroom that we saw there was nice. We also saw a one-bedroom with a den that was OK, but it was difficult to tell size-wise between the den and the closet. Bathrooms were ADA-compliant and very nice. They have small but usable kitchens. Storage was fine. They had a storage room close to your unit, which was maybe only four by six. They had an in-unit washer and dryer and all the amenities you'd want, beauty salon, exercise room, art room, movie theater, game rooms, lounges, and things like that. It was built on the grounds of a former seminary or convent. One of the stipulations about the purchase of the land is that the chapel had to remain, so you can get to the chapel without having to go outside, and they do transport you to services, Lutheran services, Presbyterian services, and Catholic services. They do services in the chapel. In fact, people who live in the neighborhood come to the chapel for Sunday mass. Another thing about Hearthwood that I really particularly enjoyed is that almost every unit has a balcony."

"One of the best decisions I ever made was to move to Sedgebrook. The activities are so many and varied, for example the garden plots where we can grow flowers and vegetables. The apartments are bright and the food is high quality. But best of all is the inside parking that we did not find at any other facility."

"We settled on Holmstad for mother. I liked the concept of a continuing care community, it was a large enough size, and financially stable. Additionally, they have catered care which was in between independent living and assisted living, which was appealing to us. We were looking at an apartment. I toured it four times, and for the different levels, they had different people that keep the residents engaged in social activities. The food was great."

"I thought Plymouth Place was a very nice place. It was an excellent facility. It really was like the Cadillac of nursing homes or as assisted living or independent living. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I have no qualms about going there for rehab, and if I ever needed independent or assisted living, I probably would consider them, but I don't think I can afford it. They seemed to have a lot of good activities for the residents. They had movies, bingo, and arts classes. One of my friends was in there for rehab on her knee. I visited her, we were talking, and all of a sudden it was time for her art class. I have not eaten there, but my friend said it was like going to a five-star restaurant. She said the food was absolutely fantastic. "

"This facility is located on the north side of chicago it serves a population of adults who have been diagnoised with a developmental disability. They only provide services to female residents. While there I noticed some of the residents were sharing a room. They have a full clinical staff that provides services to the residents 24 hrs a day. the meals are prepared by the staff, and on special occassions and when doing food activites, the staff will allow the residents to assist in the preparation of the meals. The facility is clean, and well-maintained. The staff is very hands on, and the residents seem to have a closeness with one another. In general, I would rank this facility a 4 out of 5 stars. "

"My mother was in rehab at St. Paul's. The staff and the care service were fair. They're cordial. Some of them were attentive. They were very good about keeping the rooms clean. The rooms though were small. Food was very good. The selection seemed really nice. In terms of ambience, it was nice. There's no problem regarding the smell. They even have a chapel there. Also they have activities for their patients. They would take them on tours if the patients are able to. "

"We are very happy living at CBV. We enjoy many activities and good food everyday. Both staff and residents are very friendly and make you feel as one of the family. Your needs are cared for. "

"Montgomery place made a very difficult transition much easier for my grandmother. At 90 years old, she was no longer able to take care of herself and had to move from her house to these facilities. The facilities are beautiful with views of the lake and excellent dining room. When my grandmother's mental health deteriorated she moved to the nursing home. The staff was kind and considerate and always treated her with respect even when she was confused or panicked. Montgomery place allowed my grandmother to spend her final years with dignity. "
