Kingsland Walk Senior Living

Leslie

Kingsland Walk Senior Living has a combination of assisted living and independent living. It is very unique in the way that they're licensed and the services that they have. They had a monitoring system in the rooms, and the staff pointed it out when we toured the different floor plans. They have a monitor that is up close to the ceiling, and it's based on infrared technology, so they can tell if anybody has fallen in that room and can't get up. Kingsland Walk Senior Living is an older facility. But it has a lot of character as far as the individualization of the different rooms. They only have 46 residents there. The rooms would be adequate. It was the most affordable of the four I visited. The staff who gave the tour was the executive director. We also met three of the owners who were there on the premises. And it was a very nice atmosphere. You would feel very secure there. The executive director knew what she was doing. She has been in the industry for many years. She had retired and they asked her if she would accept the position, that they wanted her to be there with her knowledge of how things worked, and so she came out of retirement and she's working there now. She was very knowledgeable.

My mom has been in Memory Care at Kingsland Walk for over three years. The facility is well maintained and clean. We are thrilled with the Executive Director, who is organized. professional and easy talk with. She is good with employees and always smiling. The staff is wonderful ..from Maintenance to Housekeeping, Medicine and Caregiving. We adore the MC Director, Tanika, and all the Care, devotion and long hours she puts in caring for my mom and all the residents. She and her staff are the best we have had in all our tenure here and we feel extremely blessed that mom is safe, clean and cared for in every way. These wonderful people are like family to us.

I toured Kingsland Walk Senior Living. I was impressed with how new the building seemed. The facility was excellent, but the location, I would not feel comfortable walking my dog outside. All the staff that I met were very friendly. The structure of the building and cleanliness was excellent. You have everything there from independent living to memory care, all mixed in one place. It's good, but it also sometimes can be depressing as an independent living person because you're also seeing the assisted living and memory care people mixed in with the independent living.

It is a nice place. They have a gym where a person comes in and does physical therapy with the residents. They also have somebody that comes in and does music. My brother lives in a 1-bedroom apartment. He has someone that comes in and makes his bed (if he wants it) and washes his clothes. They keep his apartment clean. The food is excellent. He likes it and eats all of it (and I've eaten there a couple of times, too.) There is a park down the street. They can walk there wherever they want. They also have a library, a game room, and a little room with comfortable chairs to just chat with family members.

My mom has moved here. It's warm and welcoming. The staff was very personable and were resident-focused. They're very hospitable, willing to help, very accommodating, and willing to go out of their way to help residents. My mom has her own apartment. It's very open, and it has nice hardwood floors in the living room and the kitchen area. It also has lots of closet space, and emergency pull cords in the bedroom and the bathroom. It's very clean and they're very quick to help residents in their rooms for hanging things or that kind of thing. The dining area is very open, and I love how they have open dining. You can come down whenever you get up in the morning. If you want to have breakfast for dinner, you can have that. You can order anything off the menu at any time during the day whatever their hours are.

The staff here was very, very nice. The atmosphere was very warm and very inviting, but the apartments were not complete apartments. They didn't have stoves, for instance. I was looking for a more complete apartment living situation. Their dining area was very nice. I saw a group of residents doing a painting activity. They looked very happy and content, including the people that I passed on the hall. I didn't like it because I didn't care fo the neighborhood. I wouldn't have been comfortable in that neighborhood. At my age, I'm less interested at hanging out in the Loop or being close to it than I was years ago. The facility itself is new, so it's very clean and nice.
