Anthem Memory Care

Our family is based about 30 minutes away, but for the price point and cleanliness, I think it's the best place. I did tons of research had countless Zoom calls and visits to other places that were substandard. Grace Point Place is a newer build - the facility is about 5 years old. The staff is great. My only wish is that they would do field trips or attend events where the residents can get out side more. But other than that, it's great. The care they're providing is top notch. They've definitely been doing their due diligence keeping me informed. And when I visit, they're very warm and helpful with any questions I might have.

Mom has been here a few months and I think that they are doing a really nice job. The only issue we have really had is the response time when she needs help is sometimes 10 minutes or so which is pretty long for her. She has a private room and it is a little cramped. I would recommend Chisolm Place for those looking for memory care for their loved ones.

We can see they have a lot of activities based on their activities calendar but we have no idea if our loved one is participating in them. We would love for the community to have away for families to keep up with what their loved ones have done for the day.

The staff were super nice people. I really liked the size of the hallways. You could easily pass two wheelchairs by each other and still a person could walk beside the wheelchairs. The rooms were nicely laid out. But they had linen napkins and crystal in the dining hall, and my loved one never appreciated that type of thing. He would not have felt comfortable in that environment.

We chose Morningside Place Memory Care because the person I spoke with at A Place for Mom recommended it and said everyone she had placed there has had a good experience. It is also a facility that is focused solely on memory care and I thought that would be very helpful for my dad. They are pricey, but I feel like he is getting good care. I would recommend them to others.

It's a good community, the staff are professional. They provide good services to family members. Make sure to think about what services you want. It is definitely worth the price. If your loved one is bed ridden, I'd look into other options.

I feel that my loved one is in a safe location and well taken care of. It has taken a lot of stress off of the family. They have activities like singing music, puzzles, flower arrangements and outings on the bus. During the holidays they took them out on the bus to see the lights.

The tour guide was great but the community was not what we were looking for for our loved one.

The reason we picked this community was because we like the environment and the community and the interaction with the residents. My loved one is pretty young so this was important to us. We would recommend this community for your loved one.

This community does a good job with memory care. I would positively recommend this community to anyone that is looking for memory care. The staff are very nice and very friendly pretty caring with the residents.

The staff seemed super friendly, and the person who led the tour reached out several times afterward to make sure my loved one was okay, which was nice. But when I walked in, there was a pretty bad bathroom smell, which gave me a bad feeling about the facility overall. And they were pretty expensive too.

We were not able to go inside the facility due to covid so we just looked inside the windows. We actually had a deposit on this facility, but I started having doubts after talking to some people in the community. The outside of the facility is beautiful and very nicely manicured.

It is a very nice place to have your loved one. The communication with the staff to the family is good. My loved one complains about the food. They don't care for the food overall. There was one time I ate there and the food wasn't that good.

Impressive facility. Clean. Residents seemed happy

It was such an usual time with covid, but our overall experience was good. The staff members were kind and paid attention to not only my husband but to me as well. The staff members were just very nice and friendly, and we would recommend this community to others.

Our contact was [name removed]. We setup a meet/greet/tour and at reception area signed in through Kiosk which also took our temperature in line with COVID procedures. Upon arriving we found the parking lot very spacious and clean - the area is right off of the expressway and surrounded by trees. The lobby was clean an odor free - a part of the lobbby is currently setup for family visits (2 family members at a time). After our discussion with [name removed] in her office she walked us outside around the facility to show us not only the surrounding area but we also wanted to look into rooms and activity areas that due to COVID we couldn't do inside. On our walk we were able to see residents watching TV in the activity area and got a glimpse of the courtyard also available to residents to stroll weather permitting and other outdoor activities. Upon returning to [name removed]'s office we watched a video tour that highlighted more closer each area, safety walking railings were along the hallway and in washrooms, we were happy to see that the rooms have private motion detectors (no cameras) that beep at the nurses station to alert when a resident is up and about (mostly needed at night), also [name removed] noted that the staff is awake 24/7 on 8 hour shifts and do not sleep while residents sleep. Security seems good here as well with staff having a fob key to enter and exit the facility's security doors. Each room has a closet as well and a washroom (cabinets are locked). There is a Jack/Jill room where only the washroom is shared. Then there is a combined room where literally two people sleep and share a room. We were shown a sample menu to see their weekly meals. This site also has 3 activity assistants (music therapy, rosary, piano player to name a few) once a month is movie night. One caregive to 8 residents; visits are setup through Genius link that families link to schedule a visit. Harvester Place also has a pharmacy plan through medication management partners. [name removed] showed us a sample of how medicines are sorted by each resident's daily meds (breakfast, lunch, dinner in separate little bags), however, for a fee a resident could have the nurse sort their pills. There is also a Dr. available on staff that also makes weekly visits. This facility is associated with Hinsdale hospital. Additional fees for this facility are like other facilities which include a move-in fee, incontinence care program $400, and any pharmacy co-pays or outings.

One thing they could improve on or that they need to work on is getting more face to face time with our loved one. Whether that is through zoom calls, face time or Skype during this time with covid.

After some difficult stages of Charter since April 2019, the direction, care and attention to important and smooth running of this all important business of a memory care facility has improved. And since the CDC regulations have been implemented and followed, the residents and staff have remained safe and Covid free.

The food is good. I would recommend them to a friend. The room sizes and layout are good. They have an outdoor space for the residents. The staff is good at getting back to me if I have any questions. They have been good at setting up times to visit.

They are a clean community, The staff is friendly. The food is good. The room sizes are good. The cost is about average to other places in the area. They have a secured outdoor space for the residents to enjoy.
