She has found a second home where she has been enjoying life. The staff are all like family to her and us.

"Four words describe Majestic Care: 1. Friendliness-From the moment we toured the place, we were greeted by friendly faces: Danny, the marketing director, the receptionist Sheila, Paul the maintenance worker, activities director Sheila, nurses and CNA’s, and the residents. 2. Fabulous- As in fabulous food: Food is so important to my mom. She absolutely loves the food and guarantee you’ll smell the deliciousness in the hallways! 3. Fair- As in fair pricing: I toured many assisted living places in my area to find the perfect one. We definitely found it at St. Anthony Majestic Care. 4. Feels- As in feels like home: St Anthony is clean, neat, and fresh looking. It feels safe and secure as well. My mother is blessed to have an entourage of family and friends that visit often. We are all very happy with our choice to place our mom at St. Anthony Majestic Care. It has helped to make this pivotal time in our mom’s life a smooth and easy transition. Thank you St. Anthony Majestic Care. "

"August 2, 2019 My mom Marie has been in Arcadia Memory Care at Manor Care East in Palos Heights, IL for almost 6 years. I am writing to praise the care given her by all the staff during this time. Not only was physical care given her but also emotional care. She was dearly loved and cared for by all the staff: nurses, especially the wonderful CNA's and everyone else who had a hand in her care. Over and over for the past 6 years I have been amazed at the way the staff treated all the residents. Many times they went beyond the "call of duty" to help me personally when mom was upset that I was leaving and it really meant a lot when you have to leave and mom is hysterical. A soft word, a hug, were given to mom to help her but I think they mostly helped me! I am also writing today because at almost 104 years old my Mom, Marie passed away this morning. My heart is broken but I know the last 6 years were a gift that Manor Care helped give me. Blessing and love to all the Staff Marie's daughter, Ella"

"My husband is now at Harmony Palos Heights. So far, it's OK. There's a particular nurse that goes out of her way for my husband. Her name is Mary, and she is wonderful. She comes here and she helps me out. Not even when she was not his nurse, she still helped me, and she didn't take one moment to think about it. She's an angel sent from heaven. The first room my husband was in, there was another gentleman, but they moved him over here to another section of the place, so my husband is all by himself here, and it's OK. Most of the staff have been pretty good, but there's one in particular that goes way beyond, and I'm really satisfied with her. She is not here all the time. She works in the evening. Her name is Dominique. The first day I met her, she has seen my anguish and my concerns about my husband, and she goes, "Oh my God, can I give you a hug?" She was also sent by God. Everybody else is OK. The facility is OK. It seems like a nice, clean place. The nurse that I met was very helpful. It wasn't her section, but she did go over there, and she took care of my husband. She turned him and she checked him out."

"My mom stayed at Elevate Care Palos Heights, and I loved it. It's pretty large, and the nurses were so caring on top of taking care of my mother, joking with her, and making her laugh. They interact. They work hard. They have a room where they do crafts, and my mother was doing physical therapy. The first day that I went to visit my mother, they were fixing the women's hair. I thought, oh, my God, that is so nice. They had blow dryers and curling irons and all that, fixing up the hair so they could make them feel good. It was worth it because it was close to my house."

"This facility is not equipped to handle patients with dementia. They don't offer extra care with this type of patient. This facility is definitely not equipped to care for patients who require extra assistance. My father was there and he couldn't walk anymore AND somehow his hip was dislocated. Still trying to find out how that happened. Either he fell or a staff member was a bit heavy handed moving him. At best this facility is for people who can care for themselves and do not have any medical mental issues. The rooms could be brighter. They have a new wing but its for short term recovery. If the rest of the facility could be updated to match would be great. I recommend to continue to visit their own doctor. Transportation can be provided. It was very difficult to get in touch with the doctor for the facility. Fortunately the nurse assisted with trying to reach the doctor to let him know the family would like to have a conference with him. He never called us back. He only reached out to the nurse that paged him to relay a message. In the room the lightbulb went out and it took a couple of weeks to get the light replaced. The only reason I gave it the rating I did is because there were some great people on staff who went the extra mile to assist and advise on how to get results when needed. This includes the nurses, CNAs, receptionist and maintenance. If you go for a tour make sure you get clarification on which wing your family member will reside in. "

"My mom and a friend of the family were here and the care was outstanding!!!The nurses were so nice as were the ancillary staff. In a lot of places you can't even speak with the President of the facility or the Head of nursing but these ladies were so nice and helpful. the food was not the greatest, but these people really care check it out for yourself shoshanna "

"My husband was in this facility and the care given was great. The staff was so attentive, helpful and so very friendly his experience there was great, very clean and it's a beautiful place. I commend the individual in charge as moral in the workplace was very high everyone had a great attitude; they were so very nice and welcoming we were fortunate to have Maggie who went out of her way to ensure the stay was above expectations. Sending huge KUDOS to the staff and many thank Yous to the all the staff at Bria as they were amazing. I truly recommend this facility. "

"Mother is in Lexington, but she's only been there four days now. It's nice and clean. My sister said the food wasn't bad, and they're friendly. They seemed to be taking good care of mom. "

"Had a family member here. It was a great facility. "

"We visited a friend at ManorCare Health Services. The staff were very nice and cordial. They seem to take care of all the patient's needs, and the place was very clean. Their rooms were very nice. Their dining room is very nice as well although we didn’t eat there. It was very easy to get around. I was really impressed with the way that it was so clean, and a lot of nursing homes are really not clean and smelled, but this one didn’t. "

"My mother is in Aperion Care Oak Lawn. I think it's the best place for her right now, she seems to be getting very good care, and she's still getting therapy a couple of times a week. They're gonna be reassessing her to see if hospice is necessary for right now. Since she's been there, it's been good, because we actually get a hold of the nurses when we wanted to get information on her, and actually we could even talk to her. They'll bring the phone to her, and we can talk to her, but we're not sure if she knows us or anything, but at least we can talk to her. I've been very pleased with the nurses there, they seemed to really be taking good care of her. She's a fall risk, so they make sure they take care of her well, they make sure she's strapped into the chair, they even placed mats around the bed because she tends to get up. They watch her a lot. It does seem clean, and as good as any nursing home. It's a smaller place, and I liked that. They're able to give a lot more one-on-one care."

"My son is in Oak Lawn Respiratory & Rehab. I chose it because he's self-pay and it was in the budget he could afford. The people are very helpful. They know all of their patients by first name, what they can do, and everything. I just love the interaction they have with their patients. They do not let them lay in bed. He was bedbound, but the day after I put him there, they had him up fully dressed in a wheelchair. They take the footrest off and make them walk in the wheelchair. He's in a room by himself. It's a large room. The only thing is that the facility is not modern. They have old floors and everything, but the care is excellent. The food is excellent because they invited me to have dinner with him one time. He's there for rehab, but he will be released before Thanksgiving. What I want him to do now is to be able to get in and out of bed by himself and to get around easily. The staff is excellent. It's clean. They have all kinds of activities for them. They can go through the whole nursing home while they're there. They're not confined to their room. They can go wherever they want to. When I asked him what time he had to go to bed, he said they don't have a bedtime. They can go to bed when they want to. I know they brought in a movie last week. They have different daily activities. They have ice cream day. They might order out from a restaurant one day. They may have religious people come by and talk to them. They have a calendar, and each day they tell you what the activity for that day is. I think the value is good. They got him some kind of stuff that helps pay some of his bills. The financial department is excellent. As she explained, anything that the patient was entitled to, she would get for him."
