Silver Glen Senior Living in South Elgin, IL
4.7

I would definitely recommend Silver Glen Senior Living to others. The facility itself is great, the rooms are really nice, and everyone seems so nice and welcoming. Another great thing they have is they work with a company that provides Physical therapy, Speech and OT on the premises.. so we've been taking advantage of that with my mom. So convenient to have that in-house and not have to drive to appointments!

Victory Centre of Elk Grove in Elk Grove Village, IL
5.0

My brother lives in Victory Centre of Elk Grove Village, IL. I visit him frequently and I have found it to be Clean, Friendly and warm. The Staff from Administration to Nursing, Dining, and Maintence are all warm and caring, they know the residents' names, are respectful and always willing to address their personal needs and requests. We moved my brother from St. Louis, Mo to here in Elk Grove Village. I wasn't sure that he would like it, but he definitly does, which makes me happy, because he is only about 10 minutes away from me and I can take him shopping, to doctors appointments, or just bring him to my place if he wants, and as a matter of fact he did spend the holiday with me and the rest of our family! My sister and I live in a senior apartment complex, and just moved one of our neighbors there as well, and as luck would have it she lives right next door to my brother!! It's a very nice place.

Woodlands at Canterfield in West Dundee, IL

Quality of care - the doctor that was chosen is a bit lax & not as organized as we would like. [name removed] has been helpful with dealing with the dr & keeping on top of meds & changes. We understand its a new facility & everyone needs to get their rhythm. The menu has been the same for months with a daily special offered. The server we have had is in need of appropriate training. Very inefficient & confused. Sweet girl though. Hopefully she will learn the ropes in the next few months. She is inexperienced & needs to work beside an experienced server. The first meal we ate with the parents was amazing. Delicious & professionally plated. A month or so later, not so much. Activities - they aren't participating. More expensive that the last residence they were in (independent living) and offers a slight bit more. Yes I would recommend this community to others- the base staff is friendly, attentive, helpful & kind. There is a high volume of camaraderie amongst the residents. They walk the halls in groups going to & from their activities smiling & chatting. They have a huge end to end table in the dining room that seats about 20+ people & they all sit together. Even the in-laws who are not that social.
