Recent reviews of Independent Living in River Forest, IL
Cantata Adult Life Services a CCRC in Brookfield, IL
4.8

I recommend Cantata because they have a robust rehab gym staffed with professionals in physical therapy, occupational therapy, balance, speech/memory therapy. It is located on a quiet tree lined landscaped campus with onsite Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing and Independent Living. The staff communicates very well with the resident and the family. Price is fair market/moderate.

Liberty Village in Elmhurst, IL

I could not be happier with the Liberty Village community is every regard. [name removed] and [name removed] has been amazing and I am very happy that my father is there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

Victory Centre of Elk Grove in Elk Grove Village, IL
5.0

My brother lives in Victory Centre of Elk Grove Village, IL. I visit him frequently and I have found it to be Clean, Friendly and warm. The Staff from Administration to Nursing, Dining, and Maintence are all warm and caring, they know the residents' names, are respectful and always willing to address their personal needs and requests. We moved my brother from St. Louis, Mo to here in Elk Grove Village. I wasn't sure that he would like it, but he definitly does, which makes me happy, because he is only about 10 minutes away from me and I can take him shopping, to doctors appointments, or just bring him to my place if he wants, and as a matter of fact he did spend the holiday with me and the rest of our family! My sister and I live in a senior apartment complex, and just moved one of our neighbors there as well, and as luck would have it she lives right next door to my brother!! It's a very nice place.
