The administrators are very good; however, there are a couple of the direct caregivers were complaining about the care that was needed for a friend on a specific day. The community was short staffed on this day. Most of the time they are very friendly. The community doesn't mix floors between the assisted living and memory care during COVID. There are different levels of care that is provided in the memory care unit. In my research this was the best place in Chicago, they finally got their SAGE certificate. They were willing to work with me in getting my friend into the community. There were times that they will cook for the guests and it has been pretty good. There are times that the food wasn't as good of quality as they serve to visitors. The community has let me know that they are not able to use a lot of spices in the food. Artis is very good at communicating with me in any changes in my friend's needs.

They do a great job keeping our family updating and communicate well with us. They've just been really helpful and attentive. And my loved one says she likes the food, as well as the activities she's tried so far.
Read moreThe community is always cleaning. The staff are always checking on my loved one every two hours even when my loved one is sleeping. They are extremely friendly here. The food is very good. In fact my loved one has gained weight, which is a good thing. The nice thing is they allow the family to bring snacks to our loved one for special holidays and occasions. My loved one has been able to make things and show them off during the holidays. The community partners with some of the schools to send letters and cards to the residents.
