Burr Ridge Senior Living

I toured several senior communities for my mother, and very quickly Burr Ridge Senior Living rose to the top of the list, being head and shoulders above all the others. It is a newer community, just under four years. The facility is impeccably clean! It’s contemporary, spacious, and filled with light. It’s clear the vibrancy of the community carries over to its residents. My mother is in a one-bedroom apartment in Independent Living. Her second floor balcony overlooks beautiful landscaping and walking paths. The facility offers far more in-house activities than any of the other places I visited. There’s also off-site trips for local shopping as well as outings to local attractions. Lastly, I can’t say enough about the incredible staff at Burr Ridge Senior Living. These folks are extremely kind and caring. They know all the residents by name and are extremely responsive to any questions or requests. I would recommend Burr Ridge Senior Living to anyone without reservation.

Burr Ridge Senior Living was one of five properties recommended to me by my "A Place for Mom" contact. It was the first I visited and, frankly, the only place I seriously considered. When I first spoke with the people at Burr Ridge, and told her what I was looking for, they told me they could "check all of my boxes', and they certainly did. The tour I took later with [name removed]sealed the deal; I never seriously looked elsewhere. I moved in November lst and am very happy with my choice. I love my apartment. The common spaces ae beautifully and tastefully decorated. There is a range of activities that can satisfy everyone's interests. The staff is wonderful, the food is restaurant quality, and the residents in the community are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. There is nothing I wanted that I don't have. And after only a month, I feel like this is home. I definitely made the right chice and highly recommend Burr Ridge Senior Living to others.

The staff is very friendly, the residents are also. It's a positive environment. And great help from the OT staff. My Mom doesn't like the in room meals, but that might be her being picky. Some problems with meds.

Mom didn't want to move from her home of 50+ years. But now 6 weeks after moving into BRSL, Mom says "I like it here!" Such sweet words to hear! She's sleeping better than she has in years; she's active and making friends; she's happy! There are so many good choices for the next "place for Mom"; we looked into dozens. Of them all, BRSL was undoubtedly our first choice. Beautiful and homey facility. Staff who knows your name. Reasonable prices. Residents who seem happy and involved. Beautiful grounds. If you are looking for a "place for mom", I highly recommend BRSL!

Overall we like the value of it, it is priced right and the facility itself is fairly new and in good condition however there are some improvements they can make. The dining room is closer for dinner so the residents have to go down and pick up their packaged meals and take them back to their rooms - we just think being so far out from covid they would have it open but we do know they are struggling with staffing. Also in terms of activities they really do not have much going on, they said there would be a buddy system but that has not really materialized so there just isn't much for our loved one to do currently

They have done their best to make my mom comfortable and included in activities. They visit with medical care several times a day and advocate for the correct therapy and meds. Special team members visit her to make sure her day is going well and have decreased a huge burden off of us. The food wavers. The Covid updates are very good. The biggest issue is the same as anywhere right now: employee turn over. They have lost some really good people that are hard to replace.

Burr Ridge is a great place to be; but it is for-profit. It's all private pay, and they don't do anything for free. So one little thing, and you'll get billed for it. The staff I've interacted with have been great and the communication has been pretty good. Overall I would recommend them to others.

[name removed] is experienced, warm, and welcoming. She addresses any and all questions and has been very patient with us as we have navigated this change for our parents.

Our loved one is enjoying the meal selection they have, and they do have a huge variety of activities which is nice. We like that it is a newer facility, it is updated, contemporary, very bright, clean and welcoming.

What a fantastic experience! We were honestly not expecting this, and even our mom’s barriers came down. The staff, especially [name removed], were extremely helpful and friendly. The building and apartments are beautiful and spacious. There’s not much surrounding the facility, but I feel that their activity calendar more than makes up for it.

In an attempt to find a senior living facility for our Mother we found Burr Ridge Senior Living. From the first time we showed up without an appointment we were met with the kindest staff. [name removed], the director even came in on a Sunday in July to meet us and spent several hours giving us a tour, information, and answered our questions. [name removed], the Director of Nursing is most caring and compassionate. We felt she wanted the best for our Mom. The entire staff were full of smiles and engaging. We knew this was the perfect place for Mom. I would highly recommend Burr Ridge Senior Living to my family and friends.

I really like Burr Ridge Senior Living. I have worked with [name removed] since April 2021. I am hoping my father will get well enough to live at Burr Ridge. My father is still too weak to move. We have to see if he will be eligible to move to the community.

I would like to first say that the staff and all that I've had contact with has been so professional, kind and empathetic. I really could not be happier with the care that my father is receiving. The only negative would be the dining situation. When we toured the facility (before Covid), the restaurant was opened all day and you could have a meal at anytime. My father has not experienced that luxury as he moved in a few months ago and came in when dining times were on a set schedule. Since that time and obviously because of staffing issues the meals are now being delivered to the rooms. As everyone knows, this is not ideal and limits socialization which is one of the reasons we thought he should make the move. I am hoping that the dining situation recovers and will go back to the all day dining option.

My mother has been a resident of the memory care neighborhood for about a month and she couldn't be any happier. The gals welcomed her with open arms and she's made a couple of new best friends! The staff is truly caring and consistently keeps the entire group busy with exercises, activities and games. There is always someone nearby in case she needs assistance or has a question, as well as taking care of any issues with her accommodations. My family and I are thrilled with the care and attention she is receiving.

Like the rest of the country, I feel like they're struggling to keep employees. When we first started at Burr Ridge, everything was better because they were better staffed. But the residents and staff are all wonderful. They're very pleasant and friendly, and willing to go out of their way to help you. They're making an effort to keep things clean, and I've even seen management cleaning. As far as entertainment activities go, it's not the best, likely due to Covid. They've just started back up doing activities, and there are still medical guidelines and restrictions. I'm hoping that we'll continue to see positive improvements as things go back to some semblance of normal. Overall I feel like we got a good deal and that the value is good here.

We moved my Mom into Burr Ridge Senior Living Independent living apartments about 2 weeks ago and she loves it! The entire community including staff and residents have been incredibly welcoming. The property itself is decorated beautifully, everthing is new. They layout is perfect being only 2 stories, so no crowded elevators. The moving process was really easy and well supported. Mom really appreciates the amenities in the apartment including the washer dryer, dishwasher and microwave. She has a smaller 1 bedroom and even those have an enormous amount of cabinet space. Many of the units also have patios/balconies and communicate nicely with the outdoors. We highly recommend this facility for anyone seeking a quiet, clean, and upgraded space. Pricing was reasonable as well.

The layout of the rooms is wonderful. The rooms are big, very spacious. They have a lot of different floor plans. The units have full size washers and dryers. The space is very user friendly. Food quality is sporadic. The staff is nice.

I would not recommend. The room sizes and the layout of the community were good. Staff is very good. The food was minimal and not appetizing. Outdoor space was good. The administration told us progression from Independent Living to Assisted Living would be an easy process. They never helped us to navigate the transition to Assisted Living. My mother suffered as a result.
