Assisted Living in Illinois

"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

"Randall Residence is a full service community that serves McHenry County as well as Western Lake County. It offers IL, AL and MC and has a floating license meaning that a resident does not need to move to another area of the community if care needs decline. Prospects like that. The apartments are as large as any in the industry, many with patios or balconies. Rates are middle market which attracts many prospects." - Don… Read more

"This place has went down hill!! The food is good, but always cold. On Sundays you have a continental breakfast and then a boxed lunch with a sandwich and some cut up vegetables. The activities are the worse, jewelry making once a week, petting a dog, puzzles and movies. They have happy hour and a once a month birthday trivia, which they give you a piece of fruit on lettuce. Many residents have had things stolen from their apartments and the cleaning is terrible. They wash the floor and empty your garbage, but the dust builds up everywhere. I don't recommend this place." - Ann… 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

"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
