Vantage Senior Care

The 1st shift staff and manger are very good, but the rest are questionable. My mother ended up with a broke hip and no one knew when it happened. She is now in hospice care what little there is. She will die soon. Was it their fault we can't say. It is tough. There is definitely room for improvement has it looks great on the surface

My loved one was here during COVID. They have a great location and neighborhood. The health and wellness director was wonderful to work with. The was a company that took over and is cheeping out of the food. They really care about the residents. There is transportation for the residents to utilize and the driver is very nice to work with. All the staff are very caring towards the residents and families. They allowed pets. Loved the Yappy Hour!!! This allowed the residents to interact with families to be able to bring their dogs in to socialize with the residents. They even had cocktails available for the residents.

There's nothing attractive outside. The reception and common areas were nice and newly decorated. Was not impressed with the resident's apartments. Updating need to be done and apt. was small. A fresh coat of paint would've been nice.

They have new owners. The place is nice. The environment is nice. But it needs some updating. The new administration does not help the residents. The activities are not for independent living. It is a transition right now. They have some remodeling planned. It is an excellent location. They do have transportation.

When the new management took over the food quality went down. The staffing went down as well when the the management changed. Rooms are good size. They have a good value for the neighborhood they are in and what you get for the money. The wellness/ activities director is doing the best she can with the Covid-19 virus. They are doing the best they can.The administrator has never returned my calls. They are not great with communication around working people hours.

Good social programs with several activities and outings- definitely the highlight. Residents complain about food (processed/pre made.) but this is improving gradually. Residents are nice and tend to welcome diversity. Nice facility. Look for increases in rent/care costs over your original quote. Our fees increased nearly 50% over the first two years.

Our tour was great. [name removed] was a good tour guide. We love the free parking for residents and visitors. You can walk from the parking lot to the Center while being inside for most of the walk by cutting through the Hospital and though a connecting walkway. It had nice classy remodeling. They are home to a variety of faiths. You can transition to Assisted living with out having to make a move to another location. Typical city views. We did decide on a place by the lake. A Place For Mom Senior Living Advisor [name removed] is a gem and so very awesome. I am so glad she helped us out so comprehensively.

Certain caregivers are not always respectful to the residents. Can be impatient and respond to simple requests in a disrespectful and rude manner. The staff do not appear to be overworked but quite the opposite. It seems as though there is no real supervision of the caregivers to avoid this kind of thing.

My tour of this community was pretty nice. Everything went well, and the experience was a nice one. The community looked good. From what I saw everything appeared to be well maintained. My tour went well, but this was not the right fit for my parents.

I had a good tour of this community. I toured it for my father, and his needs. The community looked nice, and clean. The staff was kind, and friendly to my family, and myself. Unfortunately this wasn't the right fit for my father, and his needs.

During my tour of the Foxes Grove, I was not very impressed. It seemed like they did not have anything going on for the residents, they were all just sitting around or in their rooms. The place was not inviting. We wanted s brighter more cheerful place for my aunt, this place was not the right fit.

Bethany is one-half to one-third the cost of other places I learned of in Chicago so had to be my choice unless it were really awful. I chose on the basis of price and my son's viewing, as I was many states away and unable to visit. All things considered, I would have made the same decision though, in fair disclosure, I have not seen any other facility. Pro's: happy people, happy staff who seem to want to please, a hospital that is, literally, attached, some much appreciated green space in the city. Con's: lousy food (it is prepared by the hospital kitchen), limitations of a 1953 building, though well maintained. I cannot speak to care services but there are lots of nursing staff and many students supplementing them and the social worker. Worth your consideration.

Many open community rooms very nice staff clean and inviting. Actual resident rooms outdated but reasonably priced

Took the tour. The facility is clean, staff is friendly, residents seem happy. Layout would be confusing to Mom, has 2 buildings connected by hallways. Price is on the high end.

I came here and what I put in her refrigerator a month ago is there now, when I opened the refrigerator the smell knocked me over. I figured over a months time the houskeeping would clean it or check it. So i will be bringing this up with them. The staff is okay, we asked her and she said they were good. She has a lot of clean clothes in the closet, it looks like she has everything she needs. I asked them if they could make her a beauty shop appointment and they did. Shes in some kind of memory program where she sits with ladies and does things, I got a call a couple of days ago saying how much they liked having her there. I've met 2 people that know her personally and the guy who sits at the front desk knows who she is so I think she's getting around.

The environment is not hectic. There is a quietness that may be especially facilitating for retirees who've had multiple years of deadlines to meet at work and bills to pay at home. The first floor has a spacious seating area along with a piano (that really works --- not just a show piece). A water fountain is not far from the piano. It may add a welcome quietude and gentleness to your spirit. Be sure to have a seat or take a leisurely walk in the outdoor garden. There are medical personnel in the building to assist the residents and a hospital is very close by. Security personnel are on duty 24/7. Do make BRC a must see in your search for a congenial retirement community.

the biggest disappointment is the food. not to my liking. not enough vegetables and fruit or variety. not flavorful or healthy.

Decent care. Good food most of the time. Manager is competent and does respond to any issue asked about. B plus rating.
