10 Best Independent Living Communities in Lee, IL

I highly recommend the Grand Victorian of Sycamore to a friend because it is an amazing place to live in. The staff is wonderful. The community is maintained very clean at all times and anytime I have an issue in my room that needs to be fixed, they are quick to respond, tom the head of maintenance is great. They told me that soon they will be putting new carpet in all of the rooms which is wonderful. The meals are good, could be better. My favorite part of the meals is breakfast, they let us order whatever we want. The community offers a variety of activities such as crafts, bowling on the Wii, and a pool table in the activity room. They also have a library which is a great addition. The room I am in is a good size, I have my own bathroom that is handy cap accessible, my own fridge, plenty of cupboards and my own coffee maker. I am very happy living in this community.

I really like Barb City Manor. They are great to all of us and they keep the place spick and span. I also really enjoy the programs that they have here. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to live here

Although there remains room for improvement, definitely headed in a good direction. Attentive and caring building level administrators. Willing to listen and trying to make positive growth. The cleanliness has improved recently with the addition of two room cleaning staff and a new custodian. Very kind, empathetic, and dedicated staff on all levels. A definite strength for this facility. Shower days are often canceled at the last minute or offered at inconvenient times; required weekly change of bedding is inconsistent; and laundry help is sporadic at best with machines frequently down. Seem to need more CNA level staff. Nurses and CNAs are all trying very hard but are often strapped for time. Recent changes in cooks seems to have the kitchen moving in the right direction. Food has been better lately with more of a variety and increased flavor. A welcome improvement. Also, need to get back to offering sugar free ice cream as well as 'low salt' options. Organized efforts but with only limited participation. Dominos, bingo, movies, ice cream socials, crafts, and community outings. Needs to be promoted more effectively. Very good value, especially when compared to similar assistive care facilities within a 30 mile radius. A positive, friendly, and upbeat community of administrators, staff, and residents. Overall, this has been a great placement for my loved one for just over [date removed]. I'd highly recommend checking it out as an option for your loved one requiring assistive and/or memory care.
