"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…

"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…
