We toured the Grand Victorian of Rockford. My mother liked it, but it was all private pay, which my parents would not be able to afford. The staff member was very informative and very helpful. However, we discussed finances in the lobby, and it was not very private. It did not give me the sense that they wanted to sit down and talk in depth. There wasn't anything going on when I visited, but it seemed busy. It looked Victorian, but it seemed cluttered. At the end of each wing there's a nurse's station, and it gave me a nursing home vibe. It rubbed me the wrong way.

We went to Grand Victorian of Rockford. The rooms were beautiful with high ceilings and were really elaborate and clean. The residents seemed very active and moving around and there were lots of people playing games and crafts. The dining area was very nice. It's an extremely nice place, but the rooms available were a tad on the small side for two people. They had rooms for movies, for cards, and for different things. It's a fairly active place. They had singers come in and people get together outside on the patio. The residents were very happy and talkative. The menus looked good, the cafeterias were clean and nice, and they had a little cafe that looked cozy. They had very nice facilities.

Grand Victorian was strictly assisted living. They said that under state law they could not take Mom because she had been in a memory care place before, and they could not accept her in just an assisted living place. One thing that concerned me was that it is a two-story building. Although there is an elevator and a very grand stairway, but to me, it seemed a little bit dangerous, and maybe not for people who don't have any dementia but people could trip. The staff members were very nice and very accommodating, but the main thing was they were just assisted living and not any memory care. We were very impressed with Grand Victorian but it wasn't appropriate for my mom. They offered lots of activities and trips. They seemed to be very appropriate and interesting trips for in an assisted living place. They had a calendar of activities posted including scheduled field trips to musicals and plays. It is a very attractive building and appeared to be well-run. The cost seemed very reasonable. For someone who needs just assisted living, I think, it would be a very good choice.

Grand Victorian of Rockford is small compared to where we are now. The staff is fine, they're open, and very courteous. The apartment we saw there looked fine inside, and it's comparable to the one we have there. They never offered us a meal so we didn't ask for it. The cleanliness and layout of the community is really good.

I liked Grand Victorian of Rockford. It was a smaller community that was a little more expensive. The staff knew everybody, and they're like family. It's very clean. They had a nice little room in the very front with full windows and nice landscaping. The dining area was nice as well.

Grand Victorian of Rockford was a very nice place. I saw a 1-bedroom apartment which had a divider between the bedroom and the living room, but it was actually quite open. When I walked in the door, there was a card on a small table that had a welcome note with my name on it. I thought that was nice of them to put something like that there.

Grand Victorian of Rockford definitely felt Victorian because of the way it was decorated. It was very floral. They had a lot of events going on that seemed nice. Everybody there was very happy. They were playing some card games, and they had just finished up some holiday entertainment when I was leaving. The place seemed comfortable and very friendly, but the rooms were on the small side. Everything was included in their price, except for the TV.

Grand Victorian of Rockford was my favorite place. They were very friendly and very welcoming to the point that there was a sign when we walked in. They knew we were coming, and there was a welcome sign for my parents when they walked in. This would have been my favorite place, but not my parents'. We looked at a one-bedroom for the two of them because that is what they need, and it was quite roomy. We just met with one guy, and he was extremely friendly. I guess he was also involved with some of the entertainment at the facility. He talked a lot with a lot of the residents that we met, so he was very outgoing, very friendly, and made us feel very welcome. We saw people sitting outside where they had a nice garden area, and they had people doing puzzles and watching TV. Then there were people playing cards and games together.

The staff was very nice and introduced us to everybody. It was a really thorough meeting. We toured the facility. We had lunch there, and it was very good. It was very nicely served to us. They had a nice dining facility. My sister and I loved Grand Victorian of Rockford. We would've moved in in a heartbeat. It was great. The rooms were not real large, but certainly accommodating. They could have bigger closets, but other than that, they were very nice and very clean. It seemed like a very active place; people were coming and going and golfing.

This is a very nice place but it seems they're always repairing something.At least one flood a year with disruption to the residents. They do have Happy Hour though on every other Friday. Alcohol is served to those that want it.

I actually volunteered at the facility helping out with the elderly. It was quite a rewarding experience. Everyone at the facility was grateful that they were treated so well. The staff that I worked with were all very nice and kind to the guests. All of the amenities were kept clean along with the facilities. There are many extra fun things for the elderly to do while they stay at the Grand Victorian, such as Bingo, ice cream socials, going out to eat in groups, trivia, and other neat things. There is nothing bad that I can say at all about this assisted living home.
