Anthem Memory Care

My father began to lose his physical and then memory skills during his 95th year. He had prided himself on his independence and had a difficult time adapting to his lose of Depression-Era pride. My family was blessed to find Emerald Place in Glenview. Its physical environment felt like home. Residents were able to move about the secured and monitored facilities with caregivers alert to their needs and location. Provided activities drew out language and memory skills through enjoyable activities. All residents were spoken to by name and caregivers took the time on a frequent basis to engage them in conversation about their lives. Sometimes, this can be a tricky population to manage but Emerald Place did so with compassion and loving care. My father was at Emerald Place for a short time but we will be forever grateful for making my father's remaining days peaceful . [Name removed] daughter

My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease about seven years ago, and up until November of 2017, he was able to stay at home, with some occasional help from caregivers. At that time, it was necessary to look close to home for a facility that offered only memory care. My specific requirements were that the place had to be clean, the staff had to be trained to engage residents other than a few words now and then, and the accommodations had to be pleasant. Emerald Place opened in December of 2017, and they offered a brand new facility, a young-thinking paradigm toward memory care, a fabulous engagement piece, and the accommodations were wonderful. My husband was one of the first five residents at the facility. His has a sociable nature and the Emerald Place made a perfect fit for him. As with any new facility, as the resident population grew, the staff grew, and I never went to sleep worrying about the safety of my husband. Today, the staff and resident population is still growing, and the care is excellent. The Director, the Community Relations Manager, the nurses, the caregivers, the custodial staff, the engagement folks, and the kitchen staff are attuned to the needs of all of the residents, their families, and to the interactions among the residents and their families. It is a bright and happy home for my husband. He enjoys his new-found friends, and so do I.

There are simply not enough words to say how blessed and truly grateful I am to the team at Emerald Place. In particular the Community Relations Director and Executive Director are outstanding beyond belief as is frankly the entire team. They moved mountains to help us get my mom where she needed to be, her new home. I say home because that’s what this place has really become for me and my mom. The treatment, care and kindness they have all shown, candidly I was afraid was lost in today’s day and age of elder care. Having already experienced two other places and unfortunately hearing horror stories of others, this place has turned out to be a godsend. Simply put, they have given me my life back. No longer do I worry if she is happy, I can see it all over her face. I don’t worry if she is sleeping as she tells me how wonderful it is to be able to have heat in her room as much as she wants, which I love that the staff always makes sure she is warm and cozy. In addition, not only is the food great but they make sure to help her eat if she needs. For anyone having to face this, I’ve been there and I understand what you are going through. I was in your very shoes so I am hoping this review will help ease your minds a bit because I cannot say enough good things about Emerald! They are simply the best, will treat your loved one the best and will make you feel part of them as they are truly one big family. I will be forever grateful to them!!!!

My husband has been a resident of Greenridge Place for 15 months. The Director of Health Services, [name removed], does a great job assisting with care plans, hiring and training the care givers who are growing with more knowledge and abilities daily. He is in constant communications with families whose loved one is needing special care for a period of time, coordinating and communicating with the physicians and therapist applicable to each resident and making recommendations to assist the family in making decisions. Greenridge and the residents are really lucky to have [name rmeoved] and his staff.

When researching memory care facilities for my mother this week, Harvester Place was among my top choices . I loved the cheerful rooms and the bright long hallways that would be great for my mom to do her daily walking. The common areas for the seniors reminded me of a pulling over to a homey restaurant while driving home. Price wise it actually lower than our final choice which we had to make only because of location to our home. But if I lived closer in Burr Ridge I would have chosen Harvest without hesitation.

I could write pages of superlatives! Suffice it to say... absolutely fantastic, compassionate and caring staff, as well as a beautiful, bright, and well-appointed facility that is more reminiscent of a refined hotel than anything else... absolutely does not have that 'nursing home' vibe, whatsoever, just... home. Amazingly, it's also what we found to be the best pricing around. Period. We whole-heartedly, and without hesitation, recommend Chisholm Place! I could not have entrusted my mom to better people, nor to a better place! I thank God for leading us there!

The staff is caring and attentive. The facility is clean and the residents well cared for. This is a memory care only facility, with three connected living sections for different need levels. All are a flat rate charge. Care in place is allowed in the event a resident needs hospice. They staff went above and beyond to transition my Mom into the facility.

Liked a lot, but a little to far from my home. Staff very nice. Clean.

After reviewing several Memory Car facilities for my ailing Mom I finally selected Highline Place and I know I made to right decision in placing her in their care. The staff is loving and caring and the faculties are clean and well designed. Having your loved one there feels more like having an extended family than a memory care facility. My mother, along with the other residents, was treated with love and respect and she quickly became part of the family community. They provide daily activities for the residents as well as several parties through out the year. Additionally, they recognize the care givers by offering additional get-togethers and programs that further the feeling of being a part of an extended family. Sadly, my mother passed away after being in their care for about a year and a half and the staff at Highline Place ,along with the Hospice team from Suncrest Hospice, made Moms final months, weeks and days so much easier for our family and most importantly... Mom. I will forever be grateful to the staff at Highline Place. She passed in peace.... and that was all that we could have hoped for.

Caring, compassionate caregivers. Clean, bright, welcoming facilities.

Moved my mother to Porter Place four months ago. After touring several other facilities in the area, this one seemed to stand out. Specifically the cleanliness and how the staff interacted with the residents. Since my mother’s arrival, she has received superior care. Everyone from the person at the front desk to the maintenance man to the nursing staff all seem to have my mother’s best interest top of mind. I would highly recommend Porter Place!

[Name removed] is such a WONDERFUL nurse/CNA. She's a very hard worker and kind.

Everyone has been so kind to my husband [Name removed]. I can't say enough to all of you. Thank you.

We can't thank [Name Removed] enough for being such a kind person and caring.

Thank you for taking [Name Removed] to other side for activities. I'm sure it helps his mind to stay active. God bless you for your hearts and the hard work you do to keep the residents happy.

Helped my mom and dad with the hot tub! You ladies rock! Great team efforts to contribute to the facility!

Awesome facility. Mom is at home there & has never asked to go back to her home. Staff is attentive and caring. Facility is clean and safe.

Vineyard has a wonderful caring staff . The nurse and caregivers are loving and kind. They were great with my mom and were unbelievably kind each step of the way. Dementia took my mothers life but we are so thankful that the staff at Vinyard treated her like their mom. She was at Vinyard memory care until she passed and we are so blessed that at the end of her life she had so much love around her. I recommend this memory care facility to anyone who is struggling with decisions on where to place there loved ones.
