Eden Vista Burr Ridge

This would have been my first choice but it was too costly. Mary Beth was knowledgeable and seemed to know all the residents by first name. She made it welcoming as opposed to a lot of the other places. Am sorry we couldn't afford it.

This facility is really excellent. It concentrates on assisted living and it also has a skilled nursing unit. A memory unit is coming in January 2016. There are lots of activities. The residents seem very happy. The staff is very friendly and busy. The studio apartments are nicely appointed with good closet space and excellent bathrooms. There are no kitchen facilities in the apartments although they do have small refrigerators and microwaves: the staff want to encourage the residents to get out and interact and use the communal snack and lounge areas. They are sensitive to sight-impaired people. The administrator was very friendly, knowledgeable, and generous with her time.

I think it's a very good facility and I'm glad that my dad is there.

Lauren is very helpful and knowledgable. Thank you.

I am very happy with this community so far. The staff has been great! They are very helpful, nice, and they always greet you when you come to visit. Everything is always very clean. Overall, this is a great place and I would definitely recommend it.

This had the things we were interested in for my father in law. We liked the location, PT option, ratio of Men and outside sitting area.

I wish someone would have encouraged my mother to attend an exercise class.

I chose them because all the staff I met were extremely friendly! It is smaller than other facilities I visited, so I knew my aunt would have more personal contact while she was there. They had in activities going on all the time. Great place.

The food there at Brookdale Burr Ridge is very good. My friend says she has problems with parking as the place is always so crowded. I think they should have some sort of valet service or something to remedy this issue.

I'm very happy with the Emeritus of Burr Ridge. It's been a really wonderful experience and I'm so grateful for the recommendation. I am very happy with everything.

We cannot say enough good about these people. The people at Emeritus were wonderful. The care and attention they gave my mom was wonderful. I would go at different times, between the assisted living and the nursing side and there was nothing to complain about, ever. If you want to look hard enough maybe you could find something, but the way my mother was cared for, I don't see it. If there were issues I was called immediately. If I had to go somewhere they would be one of my top choices. The only downside is that they don't accept public pay assistance.

Good location, good facility.

Emeritus was wonderfully welcoming to my entire family. They invited my Grandma for lunch to see the facility after touring. As a trial, Grandma was evaluated and checked in for a respite stay. This has been wonderful- allowing her to try the facility to feel comfortable before moving in. She has had nothing but good things to say about the staff and food.

I struggled between memory care and assisted facilities for mom. While we were aware her dementia was worsening and her vision was severely limited, we weren't sure if she needed the full-time intervention offered by memory care facilities or if she could function enough to enjoy simple assisted living. Now that she has been at Emeritus for over a month, she is settling in well attending functions and eating regularly. Being around others with less severe impairment seems to be beneficial, and the mood swings have decreased. Not to mention that the price is fantastic for the fine level of care. Very happy with our choice.

First of all I live in the community and her doctor is there. It’s a very safe environment. They could put processes in place – for example when you are dropping off your significant other there is a book you’re given, but people don’t follow procedures. We indicated many times that my loved one is allergic for fish... the servers need to be much, much more careful. They just dumped my mother’s laundry on the bed and they said that she could fold it. They need to have a way to pass instructions from one shift to another. This ought to be the responsibility of the head nurse. The medicine was fine. That was given to her daily.

Best option for the cost. As long as the resident is at a lower care level, a very cost-effective option. Residents seems pretty content and cookies looked very good!!! My top choice for my mom/

We are very happy with our choice. We just brought my dad there yesterday, and I believe he will fit in well!

It is working out very well and we are very impressed by them.

Compared to everything else the cost is good. I don't know if everybody is enouraged to participate as much as they should be. I think some people need a little bit more of a push to get out and participate but they're fine with people just staying in their rooms. It maybe isn't the quality of the activities program but the effort the make to get people involved. It seems like there's a very social group of women there that are very nice and do the activities and the men aren't as social, but that can be just the personalities of the people that are there. Definitely somebody who has a hard time adjusting may not be a favorite of the staff and it might be that its just a longer adjustment period so well wait and see how it goes.
