Nursing Home Communities in La Grange, IL

"I liked Jennings Terrace. I liked how friendly everyone was. They answered a lot of questions. They were very thorough with their information. They were very kind. They give everybody their own space. They give everybody space to eat and a space to exercise and keep their skills up-to-date. It was clean. It looked good. There was an exercise area to keep their mobility. There was a courtyard."

"My mother is already at Addolorata Villa, and the facility is wonderful. The memory lane is only 10 years old, and there are only 32 patients in the memory lane. Overall, the place is beautiful. They have dining room and a garden room where they can go and sit. They also have a living room with a fireplace in it. They also have an activity room and a little tiny room that is like a library. They do have different activities, like, they have exercises, and they do craft things. They take them out every Tuesday and Thursday. There's always something to do. It took a while for her to adjust, but she is adjusting. Her room is very spacious. She can put a queen-size bed. She has her own bathroom, and it is quite nice. "

"My husband and I went to look at GreenFields of Geneva. They have everything from independent living to memory care and nursing care. We got an invitation to come and tour the place with other people. It was a group of retired people. It was lovely, the common areas were beautiful and there were lots of activities. We decided that we'd feel claustrophobic going from our house to that apartment, so we've decided that it's not for us. The apartments were very nice, but they were just too small for us. The place was very clean. The person who gave us the tour wasn't from there, she was from another nursing home so we would ask her questions and she couldn't answer them. So we had to find out from somebody else, but everybody was very accommodating. It's a beautiful facility with nice furniture, lots of activities, the dining spaces are nice and the outside spaces are nice. "

"I visited The Grove of Lagrange Park facility over this past weekend looking for placement for my mom for the future. The staff were very friendly and were happy to answer all of my questions. The rooms were not the most appeasing visually, but they did smell nice. They had a manager in the building, which apparently they have someone different scheduled daily to be there and make sure the building runs smoothly. The manager showed me around and after seeing the 2nd floor showed me this big conference room with a projector screen and reclining movie theatre type seats. On my way out I noticed a small patio on the side of the building surrounded by trees and flowers, there were some residents sitting out there enjoying the fresh air. As I got into my car I thought to myself: My mom is not ready to leave assisted living as of yet. But when she is, The Grove of Lagrange Park seems like a very nice place for her transition. "

"My father-in-law moved to Meadowbrook Lagrange. It's a very clean facility. The rooms are very clean. The nurses are very attentive. They have bingo and games. He's on the restrictive sodium diet, so that's what they serve him and I guess they serve what he's supposed to have. They are pretty good about giving him his medicine, taking him for walks or therapy, and taking him a bath every other day. The price is a little high, but they take care of you pretty well."

"During my visit at Lexington Health Care Center, I received a tour of both the skilled nursing and long-term care areas. The staff member who guided my tour informed me that this center was focusing on becoming primarily a skilled nursing facility and would no longer be offering long-term care services in the future. The facility has a beautiful interior, with minor renovations being performed during my visit there to further improve its appearance. The facility is located near a busy road among several other buildings and businesses, however, so the common areas outside of the facility are small and potentially not accessible to all patients and residents. The rehabilitation department utilizes technologically-advanced equipment, devices, and treatment approaches and appear to interact well among one another as well as with patients. The dining hall is clean, large, and open. The majority of the staff members there were very welcoming and friendly to me. The pieces of furniture included in the patients' rooms are clean, maximize the available space within the rooms, and are coordinated well with the calming color schemes of the rooms as well as the facility itself. In my opinion and compared to other facilities with which I am familiar, the patient rooms seem somewhat small in size, especially if the room has 3 beds. All of the patients I saw and those with whom I interacted appeared happy and content with this facility and all it has to offer. "

"We, my brother, sister and I, encouraged our parents to move to Plymouth Place. There were many benefits to this community! It was in the same neighborhood, many activities were offered for enjoyment, a garage was available for their car, the apartment included a full kitchen so dad could still cook and he was a fabulous cook. It also offered guest rooms available for out of town guests and included future care for my dad. As dad's needs changed he was transferred to the 3rd floor for nursing care, which over the next 2.5 years became his full time care. Mother was able to be with him as much as possible (except for sleeping together). With this wonderful care dad lived to be 95. Now, mother who is 95 is in need of care. Being at Plymouth Place she can remain in her own apartment, as her needs change, for the rest of her life. This means a great deal to her and to all of us in the family. The outreach and care of the Plymouth Place workers is sincere, meaningful, and helpful. Our family has been very happy that our parents made the decision to move here. "

"First of all we never plan to place a loved one away from his or her home. Upon entering a facility, a calm should come across. That is what I felt within a few moments. Still not liking the idea, we were greated with extreme politeness, and concern. The staff upon our walk through was was warm and professional. Still the thought of how our loved one would adapt was a concern. The staff will cater to your needs until you realize, you have to allow them to care for your love one. After we got past ourselves, we saw the staff in action, we as a family we can now say, our Mom is being well taken care of and her quality of life has improved 100%. We are grateful and we let the staff know. I will say this you can place your love one in a million dollar facility, if you do not let the staff know how important that person is to you by how you visit and how you care, what do you expect. They will care like you do. That is what you want.Again we as a family are very pleased with Weschester Health and Rehabilitation Center. My Mom's room is quaint. The rooms are very clean, no harsh smells, the grounds were beautiful during the summer, plenty activities. Nice place."

"My mom is doing okay at Briar Place. But I'm a little concerned because I don't think there's as much attention given to the patients as there should be. I found that the staff members are not invested in what's going on there. When I first went there, I was impressed with the lobby, but once I got inside, I would rate it a 1. I think they had activities. Usually, when I visit, it's late in the evening, so my mom is already in her room. But they have a TV in the dining hall, and I see a lot of people just sitting around watching TV for the most part."

"My mother was a patient at manorcare. She was going to have 2 weeks of physical therapy and then home.,but her dementia got worse and we knew that was not going work. She received excellent care, thanks to the staff who were always respectful, and the manager Victoria She is so caring about not only one person but all the patients. She really put my mom at ease when she left. I also wanted to say that Steve is the best representative of your business. The first thing you see is his smiling face, he is also very nice about answering your questions. I have come to realize that when you see happy, efficient employees, they have a good hands on manager like Victoria! "

"Excellent management team. Great nurses, the CNAs are caring and attentive "

"My friend is here and it's a very nice facility, very lovely. She can afford to be there. She had a lovely studio and they had all kinds of activities. My friend is happy there."

"We have been to Oakridge Nursing & Rehab Center. It was very dark. It seemed a very dismal place. There were four people in a room, which I thought was a bit much. They were noticeably understaffed, so it wouldn't be a place that I would recommend. There were four in a room, and they were divided by shower curtains. They were average-sized rooms. The staff was honest. They provided an honest assessment for me. I think they were helpful. It was a small facility. I saw the dining area, and that was kind of it. They didn't offer a lot of amenities. There was no exercise room, and there was no activity center. I met with the tour person who sometimes doubles as the cook and sometimes gives people showers. I just think they need to brighten up the place. They probably need to have a few more offerings in terms of activities and things for their residents. I was greeted with kind of an odor, so they need to work on some sanitizing, too."

"The staff here were kind, attentive, and truly went out of their way to help me. Lots of nursing homes are mediocre looking and short staffed, but the difference here was that the employees really cared. I developed relationships with other residents as well as the employees. Now that my rehabilitation is complete, I am very grateful for the high level of care I received. It was so homy, I didnt even realize how intense my treatments were!! What a wonderful place to get better after a fall or hospitilization. Highly recommend. "
