"I toured the place for my brother, who is 58. It seemed to me to be a place to warehouse older people. The one apartment that was vacant was so tiny, I couldn’t imagine anyone trying to live there." - Catherine… Read more

"The staff is constantly changing. Food portions are that of a child size plate. Supplies that were delivered from Amazon for my dad have gone missing. We had 45 diapers six days later they were only 11 diapers left and they had gone through 240 adult wipes. Yesterday when my sister brought my dad back to memory care after spending the day at her house, they found somebody else in my dad‘s room sleeping in his bed. His room was locked and he had the key fob so the question is how did somebody get in my dad‘s bed. They have cameras in the room which they try to force you to pay for, so how did this happen? How did they not see this on the cameras if they’re supposed to be watching?" - Kim… Read more

"In May it will be a year since our son Blaise found a home at the Summit of Uptown Park Ridge. What a blessing it was, that a room was available for him in the assistant’s living building at that time. Blaise has gone through many ups and downs since he moved in, but he is truly happy in his one-bedroom apartment. The nursing staff under the Care Director, Marinela B is outstanding. Up until this past Friday, Blaise liked to travel out of town, and it always entailed a lot of extra planning. All his Meds needed to be prepared, and he needed extra help and guidance in the preparations for his trips. The nursing staff has always been very efficient and helpful. But most of all is the help we get from Marinela. She has been such a comfort to us. No matter what time I walk into her office with another Blaise wish, she finds time for me and a solution. Her help and compassion gives us comfort. My husband and I are very grateful for all the special care that Blaise gets" - Marlies… Read more

"I do not recommend the Memory Care unit at Brookdale Senior Living in Orland Park, IL. They are not qualified to care for dementia residents. I experienced numerous issues from early on with the facility. The management is unprofessional and is not held accountable for serious errors. The staff is not trained and cannot follow critical directives. Ultimately, they did not honor my loved one's DNR which created senseless suffering for him and left our family devastated. Please look elsewhere. I read similar reviews after my experience. Memory Care is not worth the risk, others are more appropriate. Please be warned." - G… Read more

"Moving my parent into Atria Glenview was one of the most difficult decisions I had to make, but looking back it has been one of the best. The administration, staff and nursing team have all been incredibly accommodating and helpful during the transition process. The facility is top notch, with excellent attention to detail from John in Maintenance. My parent is now in a safe environment that she enjoys and our family is grateful for finding Atria." - Kristen… Read more

"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… Read more

"An absolute nightmare and I would not recommend to anyone whose loved one needs memory care and has issues with daily living tasks like toileting. My mother stayed there from November 2021 until February 2023. We were promised the world when given a tour - the best food, best care, night motion detectors in case they get up at night, call button watches in case they need help, the works! Everything ended up being a catastrophic failure which was a combination of lack of empathy staff turnover, overpromising, and lack of problem solving from upper management. Food portions were really small if you didnt make it to the dining room, and if you didnt the food would be left alone in the room despite my Mom not being able to feed herself appropriately. 2-3 hours to answer the call buttons on her wrist watch or bathroom wall. Medication reconciliation issues galore. Motion night detectors were never a thing. I cant express how sad I felt seeing my mom there" - Shawn… Read more

"What a wonderful experience we had at this lovely place! The atmosphere is so warm and inviting—it really feels luxurious, and you can tell the tenants are happy. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, which made our visit all the more enjoyable. Our tour guide, Emily Waxenfelter, was just fantastic! She was not only charming but also truly passionate about her work. From our very first phone call to set up the tour, she made sure we had all the details we needed. I mentioned that my father is a veteran, and Emily went above and beyond to provide tailored information that would meet his needs. My father had an amazing first experience, and it really set a high standard for our search for a new home. I’m grateful to Artis for making this such a positive outing for us! If we decide to make the move, I’d be more than happy to share another review. Thanks for reading, everyone!" - Jill… Read more
