Thrive Of Fox Valley

Reviewer#ET0322b

My sister is a resident of Thrive of Fox Valley. It's relatively new. It looks nice. It's clean and spacious. It's probably one of the newer facilities. I don't know how old it is, but it has a nice first impression. Her room is pretty basic, a bed area and then of course a bathroom area. It's not like a studio or whatever. There's no microwave or sink or anything like that. It's just the bedroom area, a big window to be able to look out, and then a good-sized bathroom, which I have not been in, but I know it was a pretty decent-sized bathroom. The rest of the space is for staff to come in and do stuff to help her out. Most of the staff that I saw were professional staff that were coming in to do therapy. They seemed competent, cheerful, and good. She does require what I would call non-professional staff help as well. She's not supposed to try to go from the bed on her own to the bathroom completely yet, so she needs staff for that. I just haven't been there enough to really know a lot, just how proficient some of the staff is, but what I saw seemed nice and good. They have had several things there that she's enjoyed. A lady harpist was there and my brother and sister-in-law said that she enjoyed that a lot. Then there was another performer there that was singing show tunes and stuff, and I guess she enjoyed that. I think they have either therapy dogs that come in occasionally or there is a resident dog. I don't quite remember which way it was, but my sister enjoys dogs very much, so it was a joy for her to be able to see the pets.
