3 Independent Living Communities in Dekalb County, Illinois

A reviewer 06122019

I liked the variety of the rooms. The apartment was very nice. The dining area was spacious. They had games, driving service to take people shopping and to other activities, and a library. The staff was very friendly, very helpful and very welcoming.

Briarwood Health and Rehabilitation Center' staff was very personable and friendly. The seniors who were there seemed to be content. The living space and security parameters there would meet my level of expectation for such a facility. They seem to be pretty organized in terms of activities for the residents. The place looked like it was being maintained and not rundown. It looks like it had some age to it and it doesn't look like they have done anything to modernize it, but it's not really old. They offer total care because some residents can't do much of anything for themselves. They seemed like they had adequate parking. The landscaping was maintained and had a neat appearance. The facility itself was kind of secluded so at least once you drive in, you don't have to worry about getting lost or getting turned around in the wrong direction once you get to that street or driveway. They're very easy to find.

I was not very impressed with Coventry Place. Their rooms were big and they offered apartments instead of just rooms. It was very old and shabby and did not seem like a very nice place. The people were very nice. They take residents shopping and have game nights. They have a full calendar of social events. The outside appearance and landscaping weren't bad, but they need to do extensive remodeling of the residents' units and the cafeteria area.

The staff member was very nice, gave me a tour of the full facility, followed up several times, and invited me to bring my mother out for lunch. It was nice that they followed up with me. It looked like an older place, but they were accommodating to their guests. We looked at two or three different rooms and that was very nice. I would have chosen it if I could afford it. They were getting ready for movie night, had a game night, and honored their veterans around Veterans Day. They had an arts class, which I thought was really nice to keep their hands moving.
