Monticello West is a well established community with many long time employees. They were attentive and are actually pretty fun as well and seemed to really like their jobs. Plenty of activities and stimulation in the memory care. The residents seem happy and well cared for. Overall a great facility

Gable Pines was a gift from heaven for our family. A housing situation collapsed putting my parents into a hotel over the Thanksgiving week with an immediate need for future housing. Gable Pines was one of two options we reviewed as referred by "A Place for Mom" after noting certain picky circumstances needed. Walking into Gable Pines was like walking into a family's get together. The spirit of the people was immediately accepting, kind, accommodating, caring and amazingly welcoming. Anyone would feel comfortable and excited to have the opportunity to live here. The facility was spotless, well designed, incorporated a multitude of social opportunity and the residents and staff were just delightful. My parents had a beautiful home with a river running through the back yard and plenty of space and serenity. Gable Pines may not have a river running through but it definitely has beautiful grounds, options for plenty of comfortable "home" space as well as a community that is amazingly alive and you don't have to brave the cold to visit your neighbors! Being six states away, there is a sense of peace that my parents are in a safe, friendly, and loving place that they are enjoying immensely. The area has everything you need within one square mile. We looked a few years ago and I am guessing they wished they had moved here then!

This was a nice tour. The staff was nice and they answered all the of the questions that they had. They did offer a nice tour and it seemed to be very clean. They do have activities for everyone. I think that this would of been a great choice for my mom if she did not want to stay at home.

We really love this place and can not wait for my husband to move in. The staff has been really great so far and I like the way that they interact with the residents. They also are right there in a reasonable time when a resident calls them. It is like a 5 star resort.

We loved Gable Pines. It was very welcoming, from the general atmosphere to the staff to the residents. When we walked in there was a sign with our names on it welcoming us. A chef or cook was at the reception window talking to the receptionist and eating some pumpkin bread and offered us a taste and then a piece of it. We were greeted very warmly. We were led by [Removed]l to a private dining room where we talked for a few minutes before the actual tour. We met a resident of the memory care community who said she loves it there. We saw a few different apartments and they all looked nice. There are several areas where different activities occur for the memory care community, including a kitchen area where they can make toast and have snacks. The dining area was very bright and cheery. We saw residents in a group doing some music activity. This was a Saturday morning. They have a dedicated movie theater and popcorn machine there, and this is where some church services take place also. They have activity rooms in the assisted care community areas also that the memory care residents go also at times. The main dining room is where they also go to do events and holiday dinners. We tried the food and it was delicious. So far, this is my favorite place. They take the residents, including the memory care residents out on outings more than once a month, and have bands and groups come in to entertain also. A top notch place and the staff seem to really care. Staff to residents in the memory care community is 1 to 4. We also met a resident of the assisted care community who was also very happy there.

This is a very nice community and had a good tour. They showed me the activities area but I was confused where we ended up. The residents ate on one floor and the rooms were on another floor. I did not like the idea of moving floor to floor. I liked it a lot and the people were nice and kind but it was very large and I thought it would be overwhelming for my dad.

While my father in law was here the staff was good to him. He was only here for 2 days. The community is nice and they kept it clean and neat for the most part.

I am happy with the care that my mom is getting here with the excellent staff . this is a safe and close community for us to visit . She is adjusting to the community . She is offered to activities , but is still not settled in . This is a big change (1)for my mom and she is taking it slow . I would highly recommend this for a great value and excellent care.

My dad loved it here. He had a roomy 2 bedroom unit. The staff are outstanding. Lots of activities, never a dull moment. He looked forward to the dances, and trips. There was even a woodworking shop for him. When dad needed help the staff was quick to respond to his every need. What a comfort to me knowing dad would get help if he needed it. When dad got sick they brought meals to his room, and checked on him throught out the day. Whenever he needed assistace, the staff was right there to help. I highly recommed Lexington Square, Elmhurst.

Great Family. They move my mom here. Best most organized more she has ever had. Great people, great movers, nice facility, great nurses. I love this place!

Have visited it myself but still need to get my sister up to Ill. to see. Very positive place and loved everything we saw.

They are really very. very good with my mom. They offer a lot of activities, but mom has not gotten into them yet. The food is good and enough portions. The community and her room is always clean never a problem. They are close to me and they provide the right amount of care for mom.

I could not say enough good things about this community. The staff is wonderful, very accommodating and friendly.When they have concerns, they call the doctor themselves, rather than waiting for me too. My loved one receives all of her therapy in her apartment. The room she's in is perfect for her, there is room for all of her belongings. When I expressed the concern of my loved one not interacting enough, they assigned her seats at the lunch table and now she has 2 new friends. My loved one was having trouble reading the menu, so now the staff goes up to her room half hour before supper, and they read the menu out loud to her and let her chose her meal prior to going down to eat. The menu offers 3 entrees, and as they walk into the dining room, samples of the entrees' are displayed so the residents can see the portions and know what they really want before they order. I would definitely recommend this community, and if you call to ask about it, ask for sean. He is the head director and he is amazing, he'll show you around.

My loved one is enjoying living at The Village at Woodlands Waterway because it has a positive atmosphere. Her favorite thing about the community are the drivers that take her to run her errands, they are always happy to drive her around. The place is clean and fairly new but has had some maintenance issues. The pool has not been working for a while. The meals could use some improvement as well, the menu they provide is very limited.

My Mom moved in to Clare Oaks in January of 2016 and was accepted into Hospice in February. She passed away November 8, 2016. The Clare Oaks staff were the nicest, most friendly, most caring people you could ever ask for. The best thing I can say about [Removed],[Removed], [Removed], [Removed], [Removed]. [Removed], [Removed], [Removed], [Removed], [Removed], [Removed],[Removed] and [Removed], is that they took care of my Mom like they would have taken care of their own Mother. I will never forget the way you treated not only my Mom, but myself as well. They always took time to talk to me. I will be forever grateful. Thanks again.

I was so impressed with everything I saw. Very well kept & homey, not institutional. The first thing I observed was how good it smelled as soon as I came into the lobby. The residents seemed upbeat, the staff was friendly, the apartments were lovely. Very nice dining room as well. I'm bringing my mom for lunch today.

Out of all the tours my loved one and I had taken this one of our top choices. The community was beautiful and the apartments where very spacious with lots of great amenities. They had lots of great activities available and offered different events throughout the week. It was just very much out of there price range and too expensive.

I have decided to make this my home! Love it here. It has everything anyone could want on site... and much more available nearby. Staff is helpful and caring, food is great and the entire place is clean and comfortable with many many activities.

My mother-in-law is in the independent living section of Bellingham. She will be there a year in Feb 2017. We have been very satisfied with our experience. I would recommend to anyone for their loved ones. Probably one of the most reasonably priced private homes in the area. Not perfect but as good as it gets considering the whole picture.

very positive place and loved everything we saw
