Jaybird Senior Living

Don't be put off by the distance, it is a really nice place, for me it was worth the drive. The room sizes are nice, and the layout of the community is good. My mom was in memory care. My mom liked the food. They have secured outdoor space for memory care residents.

My mother has lived at River Glen in St. Charles for the past 3-1/2 years and she has always had excellent care. When the pandemic began, River Glen’s response was immediate! They have gone above and beyond CDC regulations to keep their staff and residents healthy, to attend to the emotional needs of their residents, and to keep the families of the residents informed. My mother and my family are so grateful for all the staff members at River Glen; we could never thank them enough during this difficult time in our country.

My sister comments regularly on how very helpful the staff members are. Several going out of their way doing thoughtful small things for her that surprise and delight her. She has expressed a desire for more food served as dinner. It is often more like a snack and dinner is late afternoon. There is an emphasis on sweet desserts which she doesn’t feel is healthy for her. Others really enjoy the desserts. Special care because of Covid has been very well done.

River Glen has exceeded our expectations. My Mom reluctantly moved to River Glen from her own apartment almost 4 years ago, after a head injury. She now considers RG home and feels very safe there. We both love that her apt. is cleaned every week, sheets are washed, and then put back on the bed. I do her towels & personal clothing, but RG also offers that service. I only live 10 miles away, so the back & forth is easy. I’ve made it a point to spend lots of time at RG over the past 4 years. Prior to covid19, I knew most all of the staff, many other family members, & some therapists. The staff and therapists are professional and very approachable. I’ve met so many family members at RG. It is very nice having others around who understand. Yes, RG is expensive for my Mom. My thought initially was quality or quantity. I’m so glad she agreed that RG was the right place for her. I know we made the best choice for her. So far, my Mom has needed minimal care at RG. The care she does receive has allowed me to once again be a daughter and not a caretaker. I think RG does a good job with activities, especially these days. I commend them for working so hard to keep residents interested and engaged. My Mom loves the brain games & rediscovered exercise since joining a chair exercise group at RG. Not bad at 88 to feel safe & get moving again. I feel blessed to be part of the River Glen family.

I am very happy with Milestone Senior Living. Location is great, it has a country setting. The food is great. The staff is great. Residents are happy. I am so glad my mom is there. My dad passed away while living there and they were so helpful and kind.

Never in a million years would I have thought my Mom would have liked being in an assisted living facility but she absolutely loves Emery Place in Robins, Iowa. She has been there about 7 months and is always saying how good the people are to her there. She also loves the food and has added a few much needed pounds. Emery has done a great job managing the Covaid crisis and keeping the residents active. Mom is in a much better situation now. Thanks a bunch, Emery Place.

Most expensive place of all - a little further north than I would like. Rooms seem okay and living area seem okay. No Door Locks

I cannot be happier with the care my mother is receiving at Artis Senior Living. They have been outstanding in caring for her and dealing with her dementia related issues. The care givers are very kind and do an excellent job of involving her in activities every day. The administration is very good at keeping families informed and shows great understanding and compasion for the residents. Artis has been particularly good caring for the residents and keeping families informed regarding COVID 19.

My wife has been at Artis memory care home for 17 months. She has adjusted very well and happy to be there. I am confident she is getting the best care possible. I would highly recommend Artis for anyone that needs the care they offer.

We have been extremely happy with our choice to move my Mom to Artis of Elmhurst. What set them apart initially from other places was that their building is divided into 4 separate neighborhoods, so that the residents have a smaller group of neighbors to dine and watch TV with and it's not an overwhelmingly large group of people. What we have come to most appreciate about Artis is the friendly, respectful and caring nature of everyone who works there. All of the staff greet Mom by name every time they see her, and they get to know the residents and seem to truly enjoy working there. There are a lot of family members who visit each day, and the atmosphere is upbeat and cheerful. I highly recommend Artis Senior Living of Elmhurst!

I was thoroughly impressed with the facility in Elmhurst as well as the staff. I had a good tour and I feel this is the place for my husband to ultimately reside.

My mom had lived in assisted living for 3 years prior to us moving her to Emery Place. We were needing to find a facility with memory care and knew right away Emery Place would be a good transition for her. Still being able to have her live independently, the assistance they offer is perfect for her needs at this point. Having nurses on staff along with medication management is great. They become the liaison between mom and doctors and manage all her medications and administering them when needed. The staff is so caring and become like family to the residence. I would highly recommend Emery Place to anyone needing to find assisted living for their loved one.

My father and his companion have been in Emery Place for the past 10 months. He has considered it home since they moved in. I think they have literally saved his life by the close attention to his health. For someone who has been so independent and feisty, he has willingly accepted their assistance and care, and enjoys the attention. Both of them have participated in the activities, when they are able. Greetings from the friendly staff are sometimes the high points of their day. It seems like the staff does so many of the little extra things to brighten the their days. Overall, we have been so impressed with our father’s and his companion’s care at Emery Place.

Emery Place is a wonderful community. The staff really cares and gets to know their residents and their families to create a home like environment. Elders are unique and the staff interacts with them as individuals getting to know their life story and interests. They encourage the residents to join in on activities they know they will enjoy. My dad is a fiercely independent 89 year old with Parkinson’s disease who has a tendency to push his limits. The staff does their best to respect his intent to do things himself while keeping safety in mind. Emery’s closer care “early ALZ” memory wing has been a blessing as it allowed us to keep my mom with ALZ with my dad. They share a lovely two bedroom apartment. We give Emery an A+

Our family is extremely happy for the care our father receives at Emery Place. It is truly a blessing to know that he is in a clean and happy environment where he is offered well-balanced meals, interesting activities and lots of smiles and hugs! If it is time to find your loved one a nice "home" other than their own.... Emery Place is an excellent choice.

Mother fell, went to the hospital, went into rehab. After living independently in her condo for 40 years, mother agreed to try assisted living and we had 2 weeks to find something before mother was released from rehab. We hired an Elder Care Advocacy Group to guide us. There 1st choice was River Glen of St.Charles. They had the perfect unit for Mom. It reminded my sister and I of a smaller version of her condo. Mother is very happy here. She was very afraid of being alone after falling and now says: "I feel safe, well cared for, the staff is very friendly, the people who live here are friendly and nice, it is very clean." My sister and I agree with all these statements and appreciate that outside providers now come to her as opposed to us having to take her to doctor's appointments. She has been at River Glen for 2 months and talks less and less about her condo and more and more about River Glen.

We moved my Dad into the Gardens (Memory Care) section. It was a difficult decision to make, but the care that Dad has received has made the transition so wonderful for him and our family. The staff is very caring and kind. We feel very blessed to have Dad at Emery Place and would recommend this facility to anyone searching for this type of care for a loved one.

My Grandmother LOVES Emery Place. I have visited multiple times and everyone is friendly as well as professional. EP is clean and smells like new. I would 100% recommend EP to anyone searching for a caring, comfortable, home-like living environment.

The facility is a dream come true. My father moved in here in March and is very content here. The staff is super. They are caring, knowledgeable, respectful, honest,friendly and much more...If I have a question about any concern, someone is always there to answer it.

This is a wonderful place for my 95 year old father. All the staff is so caring. It is beautiful inside. If there is any type of concern, they handle it quickly. They are very understanding. The food served is also very good and nutritional. The outside is very pleasant also with beautiful woods surrounding the building. I am very pleased with our decision to move my father here.
