Golden Years Retirement Home

After reading prior reviews I agree place is old and very small studio room. It was a ‘roof over my head’ during a very difficult time. Place is very old but somewhat clean. Food awful but most warehouse facilities , as I call these, have terrible institution food, even the expensive facilities. Staff unskilled but V was kind and caring. I question his mother relationship to Macneal psych unit and felt they had Kickbacks if referral was placed at ‘Golden Years’. I’m glad [name removed] reported to state since it sounds as iif nothing has changed In the last 5 years. Cannot even imagine the Covid lockdown period. Thankfully I got out after about a year.

Golden Years retirement home is the type of place where people dump their older, unwanted relatives. I stayed there for 30 days, but had to walk out. A friend I met there starved to death. It's a Clip joint. The owners and staff at this facility are not qualified health care givers. I reported them to the Illinois Department of Public Health for their Shady business practices and for being unlicensed. In short, this is where people go to live in their tiny jail cells until they die.

The lady they had taking care of our loved one, [name removed] was the best. She stayed with him and provided him with amazing care. [name removed] who runs the facility was amazing too. We would recommend Golden Years Retirement Home other families looking.

Golden Years Retirement Home is an average looking community, nothing to fancy. The rooms they provide are clean. Overall the food is okay, and we would recommend this community to a family or friend.

Generally nice. I honestly should be lucky. I never thought of retiring , but I'm so satisfied here, I can retire here.

golden years is the worst there food is crap thay cost 1500 a month and a guy that work there named [name removed] is a jerk to every one and thay fine every 100 bucks for no reason at all but greed stay away from this place i live here so i no the score v runs it he is a cheep jerk who care about him self only

Golden Years may not be for everybody,but for the individual that I brought there I felt and still feel that it is a very good fit. Golden years is nothing fancy with what I believe is a portion of residents with some partial physiological disabilities. The place is clean, very friendly and for the cost I do not believe you can find somewhere in the area a better place. It is a very good location which allows the residents to walk or bike to many places to eat if they choose or go to local parks to get away to. The individual in charge at the location really seems to care and is always available for the residents as well as their family. So that being said life is not perfect and neither is Golden Years but I am glad that I found it.

Golden Years is an older facility with a minimum age of 55. While the majority of the staff is friendly and caring there are a couple that leave something to be desired in terms of friendliness and sometimes the staff takes a while to respond to a call for help. But as I said they are mostly friendly and helpful. The food has taken a little while to adjust to and is not always to my liking. However they have let me order out on occasion. I find the cost to be a bit much based on food, care and age of the facility but was all I could afford. Overall it will work, just requires some adjusting regarding schedules, food and personnel. They do help with transportation to and from doctors, pharmacy and manage occasional transport to local Walmart for supplies such as shampoo, laundry detergent, snacks etc.... Management seems caring and flexible according to my needs. So not a bad place to live

Golden Years Retirement is a perfect fit for my mom. She has fun with the weekly happy hours and the daily bingo. This location is nice and small, which means the staff knows each of the residents on a personal level. After a couple of months of living there, she told me, "They treat me like family". Hearing my mother say those words means the world to me as I move into the next stage of life. I will be forever grateful to Golden Years Retirement Homes.
