My Mom lived there for 21 months and it was a wonderful experience. The caregivers took a special interest in my mother’s enjoyments and would engage with her on a daily basis. I got to know them by name and they sent numerous photos and videos of the activities. They have an amazing staff and really care about the residents.

My wife is in Terra Vista of Oakbrook Terrace. I'm very pleased with them. The staff is excellent. The whole facility is very nice. The building was built with memory care as the prime design for the building. The four dining areas are very nice, they all overlook an interior court, and they're roomy, so it's not a crowded situation.

My mother-in-law moved into Terra Vista of Oakbrook Terrace, and so far, it has been great. The staff is warm, friendly, engaging, and caring. The accommodations are really nice. It's set up in a square, and in the center of the square is a courtyard. Everything set up is based on memory care. The courtyard has things to engage them, like a walking trail, and they do activities out there; it's really a beautiful place. They do lots of art, music, and dancing. She's always busy. They have fish tanks and birds, and it's beautiful. It's not inexpensive, but it's the least expensive of everything we looked at, and it's the highest value in terms of what they offer.

From my observations, Terra Vista genuinely goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care. From the front desk to housekeeping, everyone is friendly and caring. It appears that residents feel like they are at home.

I visited this facility
I liked Terra Vista of Oakbrook Terrace, but the distance was too far for me to go. The person during the tour was very insightful. She was very good, she knew everything about it, and she seemed very caring. I saw some painting and crafting going on. It was very nice and clean. One of the things I didn't like is they didn't have a private shower in the bathroom.

Terra vista has been an amazing facility for a personal friend. I have seen and visited many other facilities with the family to find the perfect fit for our loved one. TERRA VISTA by far superseded our standards. Every employee from the owners, upper management, caregivers/CNA’s, professional chefs, housekeeping and maintenance are involved with residents and show compassion and all work as a pteam!!! It specializes with Alzhiemers and everyone is knowledgeable. I would say if your looking for someplace for a loved one...I wouldn’t chose anywhere else!!!!

My mom is in Terra Vista. They are very caring, always notify us if they have a question, and tell me her daily progress. It is a great place. The food is good. They have three meals a day. The staff is wonderful and are always there helping. They are very into their work. She is in a good-sized room. The building is made for people with dementia. They have higher ceilings and lights that go on slowly.
