Brentwood at Hobart
4.0

There's always room for improvement, but overall, especially with the new head of nursing and Director of the facility they did a pretty good job.

Brentwood at LaPorte in La Porte, IN
5.0

We are thankful that we found Brentwood for mom. After breaking her hip we were not sure what to do next. The hospital sent her to rehab and that lasted only 24 days before another move was needed. Being out of state we were unsure what to do. We called a place for mom and they recommended Brentwood. We visited with [name removed] and toured the building. They actually do what they say, care. Mom is in a good place and we feel she is well cared for. Between my sisters and myself who which we could be more available, we thank the staff at Brentwood.

St James Manor and Villas in Crete, IL
4.5

My loved one stayed there for only a month, but he seemed to enjoy it a lot. The food was pretty good, but the activities were what made his stay so nice. The CNA and Nurse Staff the work in the ALU are nice and they seem to really care about the people they care for. He liked being able to watch movies with a Movie Club, and spend some time outside on the shaded patio to enjoy the fresh air. It doesn't smell like a nursing home, which is good, but the carpets need to be replaced. Overall, the experience was what I had expected. The rent was affordable, the activities helped pass the time, and the place was clean.

The Activities director for memory care, [name removed], is an energic, loving, and caring person and they should be thankful they have her! The furnishings, especially the chairs, need replacing.
