Jaybird Senior Living

When we were looking for a home for our 94 year old step mom, we analyzed and visited numerous facilities in the suburban Chicago area. River Glen looked to be far and away the best facility. Once our mom moved in, our judgement was confirmed and our expectations were exceeded. River Glen was excellent in all respects. Great food, ambience and activities. Spotlessly clean facility that feels more like a resort hotel than assisted living. The staff is excellent and appears to have low turnover rate, which, along with excellent management, are, in my opinion, key to an superior facility. Some of our needs were probably beyond what is typical, but they were accommodated with a smile. This place is so good, that if my time comes to transition to assisted living, River Glen would be my choice. [Name removed] - Roselle,Il

Sonoma House has both assisted and memory care. I moved my father there and the staff were very one on one and friendly. They worked hard at making it personalized for your loved ones needs. Was happy with the environment and care.

So far, so good! My experience with anything, however, is that service usually changes over time.( She's been there almost 2 months.) Having said that, right now Artis Memory Care of Bartlett is great. My mom is doing well. It's great to have her closer to me. The place is clean. Don't smell that uriney, old people smell that makes places horrible and scary. The staff is kind and attentive. I just hope it stays that way.

Our mother moved into River Glen little over one year ago; and on behalf of her and all our family, we are grateful to the entire staff at River Glen for their care- and the little things they do to make life easier for all residents. Mom celebrated her 100th birthday at River Glen this past October and the surprise “100 Balloon” release, cake and refreshments that all residents were invited to celebrate was beyond expectation. The River Glen managment staff came together and planned her wonderful surprise celebration. If that wasn’t enough they added to that by ordering an American flag flown over the White House in honor of her milestone birthday… and then had another party the following month when her flag arrived. Another celebration with a beautiful American Flag cake and more refreshments for all residents. This time with the extra special treat of having her flag presented to her by St Charles Mayor Raymond Rogina, and accompanied by letters of congratulations from President Trump and Senator Durbin. Mom’s milestone event was also featured in the Kane County Chronicle accompanied by a wonderful article by reporter Eric Schelkopf. I visit our mom regularly, and have come to know many of the caregivers, and see first-hand the joyful, selfless day to day attention by each and every staff member for all residents; we could not have found a better place for mom to live. Thank you all River Glen staff and management, and may God continue to bless everyone there for the wonderful family environment you have created for your residents. Happy New Year, Peace and Warmest regards, Her Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Sunset Park has been a blessing for my mom. The staff is caring, compassionate and attentive to my mom’s needs. The activities are engaging. It is clean and decorated so it ‘feels like home’.

Food is good.

Service and the freedom you have. Exercise/music is great.

I am so thankful to the staff for all of the love and compassion they show my parents.

It is great to be a part of such a community that provides dignity and respect to all residents.

Food is very good. Help is really fine.

Staff and management are fantastic! They were very knowledgeable. They are well educated in dealing with memory care and are kind. Their facility is clean and well-maintained. The best part is they care for their residence from assisted-living all the way to their last day is on hospice and beyond. Highly impressed!

When I toured of this community and found it to be exactly what we are looking for, for my father. That activities were inviting, food was delicious and staff outstanding. As soon as there is an opening country Meadow Place will be his new home.

Really like it here. I love the workers. All the aids are so good. Couldn't say enough good stuff.

Clean, nice, staff is good. Very helpful

Love this place, been to 4 others, there is good help.

My mother has lived at Emery Place in Robins for going on 5 yrs. It is so comforting knowing that is is taken care of in such a wonderful way. She loves the activities and entertainment they have. The drives around town & parks, going out for lunches at different restaurants They have a “Dare to Dream” program that is awesome! My mom was gifted a hot air balloon ride, that was unbelievable. The staff is so great! She has made many wonderful friends at Emery Place. We’re so glad that we found this place for our mom!

This was a great place for Mom. The staff & facilities are excellent. She enjoyed her time there. The staff even checked on her after she went to the nursing home. I recommend this place to everyone.

We had noticed forgetfulness in my father, then he had a stroke. After his hospitalization, he was sent to a nursing home for rehab. Afterwards, we could not send him home, but the nursing home he was in was not right for him. That facility recommended a nursing home with a memory care unit. Instead, Dad was transferred to Courtyard Estates, a Memory Care Assisted Living facility. Here Dad gets the supports he needs without having staff hover over him. He is allowed to do the daily care that he can, such as shaving, without the constraints of a nursing home. We are all convinced that this is the right place for Dad.

My Mom loves living here. She has made many new friends with the other people living at Milestone and the staff. The staff are friendly and take time to know my Mom. I know she is safe there. She was issued a call button to wear if she needs help. There are so many activities that she enjoys. In fact, I must time my phone calls to find her in her apartment. Her meals, laundry, and apartment cleaning are taken care of for her. The interior of the building is clean and has unique wall murals and décor, giving one the feeling of being outdoors. The large gathering areas are filled with modern comfortable furniture and fireplaces. Children from the grade school next door visit often and interact with the people living there. Family potlucks, outdoor picnics, musical groups, church services, and holiday celebrations keep everyone busy. Mom watches a lot of movies with her free cable and enjoys using her tablet with the free WIFI.

When my mother could no longer live alone in her condo and needed daily assistance, we wanted to find a place in which she could be comfortable, safe, and cared for. In other words, we wanted a place she could call home. First impressions are always important: visitors to Emery Place are greeted by beautiful décor, the bright dining facility, a lovely, inviting lounge, and welcoming gathering spaces for extended families. The most important factor in choosing a new home for Mom, however, was the staff. EVERY member of the team at Emery Place is empathetic, compassionate, and personally invested in the residents who live there. Mom has been at Emery Place since August, and members of our family visit daily. We know first hand how the dining wait staff anticipates her meal choices because they pay attention to her favorites. We know that everyone on staff calls her by name and stops to engage her in conversation. On those occasions when she has had to summon help from the medical or managerial team, someone is there immediately to address her needs. I know it was difficult for Mom to accept the life changes brought about by her advancing age and a need for greater assistance in her daily routine, but I am forever thankful for Emery Place. I am forever thankful that she is well cared for by a staff who treats her like family. I am forever thankful for her new home.
