Liberty Village Elmhurst, IL

Liberty Village takes people for what they can afford. My mom has a nice 1-bedroom apartment. People will bring her meals sometimes. They get special things going on, and she loves it there. She can cook when she wants, or they have people from different restaurants come in, and they pay $10 a meal, but it's not all the time. They have physical therapy, and there are nurses who come in and draw blood. They have a library, entertainment come in sometimes, and Bingo Night.

Liberty Village was the place that I wanted to be because they had everything that I wanted. However, I would have to move in there almost immediately, and I had some personal financial obligations and after going to through the numbers, so I had to wait. The room was beautiful just like any apartment that you might rent. I saw the one-bedroom and the two-bedroom apartments. The staff was wonderful, very nice, very warm, and very helpful. They had some activities, like bingo and games.

Liberty Village is very senior-friendly. The facility is very clean. The staff is very responsive. There are a number of activities at the facilitty. They seemed to be very supportive, and it has been a positive experienc so far. My mom is very happy. The apartment is perfect. It has a kitchen, a living room, bedroom, and a handicap-accessible bathroom. Everything was clean; freshly cleaned carpeting, painted walls, and laminate flooring in the kitchen. It was just very well-kept, and very easy to adjust to.

I moved into Liberty Village. I lived here before, and it's a good place to live. It's convenient to expressways. Elmhurst is a beautiful town to be a part of, and you can walk to downtown Elmhurst from here. There are restaurants across the street as well as quick shopping like a drugstore and a food store. This is a nice neighborhood, everything is accessible -- the expressways 290 and 355 for traveling in and around Chicago. It is attractive and well kept. All are senior citizens, ages from 65 up. The guy who maintains the building is helpful. The people are good, and the manager is fair, kind, and helpful. Just all in all, it's a good place. Some people have walkers, and there are a few in wheelchairs, but for the most part, it is an independent living building. Most of the people are able to care for themselves; if not, they might need a little assistance. I still drive, so there's a parking for driving. Some are still working part-time. It's a good place for people who are able to still get around and don't need much assistance or any assistance. It's a good place to grow older.
