Senior Living Apartments in Westlake Village, IL

My Mom did not avail herself of any activities, though she was invited and encouraged to both by family and staff. She didn't care for the food and she is NOT at all picky. That would be her biggest complaint. The Bosses and the CNAs were delightful to work with. The RNs were almost always agency nurses, so they were not as invested as the other staff members. The Director of Nursing was great as was the Facility Director and Director of Marketing. All very helpful! Communication was good, but was almost always initiated by me or my siblings. Housekeeping was fine, no clear schedule that I could determine. They were going thru a renovation of the public areas, so it was occasionally a little messy, but that was to be expected. I would recommend this facility to anyone who had long term care insurance or loads of money because they do not roll over to public aid. So if you outlive your money, you have to move. That's why my Mom is no longer there. But for someone with good money, it's a wonderful place!

It is a small close network. My loved one loves it, and feels they are at home. The communication with the staff is amazing. It is personalized, and call you on everything about your loved one. The community was strict with their rules during the pandemic. You now have to show your vaccine card and can't come in for 10 days afterwards, and you must set an appointment to see your loved. The community only had a low percentage cases of COVID the entire time of the pandemic.

Things that I like about Oakley Courts Assisted Living in Freeport, IL for my loved one are: The grounds around the facility are kept beautiful, there’s a large patio with plenty of chairs for residents to enjoy the outdoors, a beautician on-site for a fraction of the cost, chair exercise offered in the mornings, three meals a day, managed medications administered by a nurse, activities and some entertainment, nice comfortable rooms with kitchenette/living space, bedroom, large walk in closet and bathroom. I have found the staff pleasant and caring. I’m glad my loved one is well cared for at Oakley Courts. My only issue is with the meals served because of the salt and sugar content. This is not just an issue with Oakley Courts. In my research this is an issue around the country. I’m sure it would be difficult to cater to dietary needs especially if you have diabetes or heart disease, etc. I just wish chefs/cooks could be more aware of salt and sugar content.
