Recent reviews of Independent Living in Gardner, IL
Tinley Court Catered Senior Living in Tinley Park, IL
4.3

My brother [Removed] lived there for 2 1/2 years. I can't say enough good things about this facility. He had a lot of health needs but was able to be there and maintain a good amount of independence. The staff were always attentive to him and responsive to me. They helped us find wonderful aides who were able to assist him with things that he couldn't do and this allowed him to be as independent as possible. The staff are very caring and personable. The food was home cooked and he raved about it all the time. There were a number of activities and the residents always seemed very social with one another. It was very home like and affordable.

The staff at Park Place of St John is wonderful. The facility is so clean and secure. My mom has made many new friends and that is great. She also takes advantage of many of the activities and outings that they have available for the residents. I would highly recommend Park Place of St John to others!
