#6 in Aurora, IL

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its spacious rooms, excellent food, and courteous staff dedicated to enhancing the lives of residents. Many reviewers highlighted the community’s beautiful grounds, festive holiday decorations, and various levels of care, appreciating its ability to adapt to residents’ changing needs. Activities, both on-site and off, and the quality and variety of the dining options were frequently mentioned positives, making this place seem like a vibrant and engaging environment for its residents. The presence of different buildings for assisted living, nursing home, and memory care suggests a specialized approach to different care needs.

However, a few concerns were noted about the cost, with some finding the community on the expensive side, although the acceptance of Medicaid was seen as mitigating this issue for some families. There were also comments about the size of the rooms not being sufficient for all personal belongings or furniture and some negative feedback on the professionalism of the staff based on their attire. Additionally, notable was the mention of significant rate increases by new management, which bothered some residents and their families. Despite these concerns, the cleanliness of the community, the compassionate and professional staff, and the overall quality of life provided to the residents shone through most reviews, making it a recommended choice for many.
