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.
Everything about Emerald Village has been all good. Depending on the age of the residents we would recommend and refer it to someone 70 and over. The Food offerings very small currently. Maybe Poker instead of bingo with restrictions.
SINCERE, HONEST and GENUINE...These are just a few words to express the experience you will get at Arden of Warrenville. If you want to experience all these things when looking for your new home and you don’t want to be treated like just another “renter,” this is the place to go. Arden is interested in you as an individual and finding the right unit/floorplan to fit your wants and needs. A place to call home for years to come. They are not just getting you in to fill units like many rental communities do. They aren’t just telling you what you want to hear but genuinely want you to be happy living here. Thanks, Arden of Warrenville and [name removed], for finally giving the Western suburbs a place that treats renters with the same respect as buyers. Thank you for recognizing that many of us are not just people who live somewhere temporarily, but who want to live in a place and community that they are proud to call home.
