Westbrook Senior Living, Image 1

Westbrook Senior Living

From $3,465/mo

110 West Schaumburg Road, Streamwood, IL, 60107
Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"The facility is clean and nicely appointed, but not well-run or a good value for the money. In the short time our mom was there (almost two years), they have had three executive directors. With the exception of Allie at the front desk, Westbrook is not a caring supportive community. Our loved one was in independent living, but the director did not tolerate us advocating for our parent who was starting to need additional support. No care or concern shown. They are corporately owned and are concerned with their image rather than residents. They operate with minimal overworked staff, and offer minimal services while raising rates. Food was awful and served in to-go containers (as they can’t keep dining room staff). The facility was not a good fit for our family and we don’t recommend." - Karen…

"We are very disappointed with Sunrise. We brought my Dad there with Dementia. They assured us they would take care of him, have a geriatric psychiatrist visit for proper dementia meds and a room in memory care. After 8 weeks, no meds, no bed on memory care floor and now we have to admit my Dad into a hospital to get the proper dementia meds. Unfortunately, we still have to pay them. If your loved one has dementia please consider somewhere else that specializes in memory care." - Amy…

River Glen of St. Charles, Image 1

River Glen of St. Charles

From $5,147/mo

975 North 5th Avenue, St. Charles, IL, 60174
Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"River Glen is everything and more than one should expect from a senior assisted living facility. Unlike the new modern institutional like facilities that exist only for the money not the welfare of the senior, River Glen cares about each individual. It's smaller, and home like atmosphere and staff along with an individual plan creates a better environment for the senior. I brought a senior brother from a large, assisted living facility in Colorado to River Glen and the difference in individual care was like night and day. The staff understood the needs of my brother from day one. With a smooth transition from admissions to a set program and professional staff of OT and PT made my brother feel that the staff really cares about his welfare. I would highly recommend River Glen to anyone needing a caring assisted living facility not an institution." - James…

"I would give a minus 5 stars if I could. My mom lived here for a little over a year. Shortly after moving in, the management changed - so did everything else. Mom constantly complained about the food being terrible. Residents constantly were allowed to harass my mother all hours of the day and night. My mom was a smoker and multiple residents came to her begging cigarettes. We reported this to management multiple times. Their response "they are all adults, they need to manage this themselves". We were very clear that she did not have this capability. We were clear about her alzheimer's/dementia when we moved her in. They assured us they could care for all her needs. The onsite nursing team is a joke. Mom needed ear drops, "we can 't do those-family needs to come in". Could not even give an ice pack when my mom had a bad fall. On the subzero temp days mom was not warned to stay in, went outside and had to have ambulance called twice." - Maureen…
