Do not rent here. They have done about all they can to make my stay here a nightmare. Internet is supposed to be included in the rent but from the start they did not pay mine. Others who moved in after I did their internet has been paid. 4 times now I have been charged 2 months rent, back to back in a month. I take my check to the office, so I know it is paid but the woman in charge of the finances has waited to take 2 months rent at one time from my account on 3 other occasions. The current problem I have to deal with now. Who ever is in charge at the office has not cashed my October rent check. So my November bill shows I owe 2 months rent again.

Sugar Grove just seemed bright and cheery. I spoke to some of the residents, and I kind of liked everything that they said about it. Everyone seemed happy. The staff was very friendly and thorough. They have a garden, a patio, a library, and a salon. It felt homey. Overall, it was a pleasant tour experience.

My father has been in Sugar Grove for over a month now and so far it has been OK. The place is very nice, the staff is very friendly and helpful. My father has a studio, but they also have 1-bedroom apartments. They provide food service. They have happy hours, bingo, and movies. They have a fair amount of live music a couple of times a week, and they have at least one outing per week. They have a library, an exercise room, a billiard room, a beauty salon and a laundry. Everything is on one floor that they can use for free.

Sugar Grove was nice. The independent and assisted living were in the same building and the only difference would be the services you signed up to have. I walked into a big room and saw a fireplace, but nothing really stood out. It was clean, it wasn't completely finished, but it was nice. The only thing we didn't like was that when you walk out the back door, you had to go down the sidewalk to get to the parking places up front and it would have been too far for my mom to walk from her car to the door of her apartment. She wouldn't have had a use for the back door. Everyone seemed pleasant, the residents were happy, and it smelled fine with no odor.

Sugar Grove was very gorgeous and looked brand new. The location was good, which was kind of rural, so you don't have as much traffic. The person who did the interview seemed a little bit standoffish. She wasn't quite as warm compared to the other facilities I've been to, and they're on the higher side as far as price. The dining area was nice. Everything looked first rate appearance wise.

I moved into Sugar Grove and it's been great. The staff has been friendly. Every time I've had issues they've come to my rescue. They've gone above and beyond what I could have expected. They have a variety of rooms, the independent living has one- and two-bedrooms, and if a resident is not able to care for themselves or needs help, they can move across the way to the assisted living building. They have activities every day for the residents. Happy hour is from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., and everybody is invited to come and gather and get to know each other. They have refreshments, card games, movies, and they have a beauty salon. They have a cafe where the menu is posted, and if you're not in the meal program you can go in and purchase food independently. The cost is comparable to other facilities that I've visited, but it has a lot of things included in it, like TV, WiFi, and maintenance. They do a very good job.

I visited and it impressed me. Everything is as good as the other places I've visited. The staff I got to interact with I would rate a four. The dining area is very nice, clean, and the chef was really friendly and accommodating. My aunt has Celiac and they said they would accommodate her special diet. The rooms were clean and presentable, and it was nice. They have the same type of activities offered as others, like games and crafts. The director who gave us the tour was very nice and accommodating. The memory care seemed a little colder to me, although it was very clean. But it seemed empty. I didn't get a warm feeling in there.

My mother is in assisted living at Brownsburg Meadows. She has her own bed, so the room is set up like an apartment. They also have another building for rehab and for long-term care. They have different areas. Everybody is very nice. They really don't have a lot of care; it is just that these are people who can't live by themselves. I'm happy with the place because they seem to be taking good care of my mother. She has had a couple of falls while she has been there, but it wasn't their fault. This place is very clean. They can take care of things that come up, e.g., if she gets sick, they will have someone see her. There was a flu going around last year, and they tried to keep that contamination down. They have lots of activities, like bingo. Whoever goes will get a small package of Kleenex. I have to encourage my mother to go there to get some interactions, otherwise she would just stay in her room with the lights off. Once a week, they have a bus for 12 people, and they take them to Wal-Mart or to the Dollar Store. So they do try to get them out. If someone is having a birthday, they will have some cakes and ice cream in the activity room. During the holiday, they will have small parties too. The staff members are friendly; they do their job. With my mom, she doesn't need too much help, but they will assist her in the morning, they will help her get out of bed or help her to the toilet. At night, if she is going to shower, they will stay in there with her because that's how she broke her rib (by falling in the shower).

My mother is moving into Sugar Grove. It's nice. The person who assisted me was Lindsey who is a rock star. She's awesome. They told us all the different things that they do. They have a nurse practitioner that's there two days a week, and on the other days they take trips on buses, they go out to eat, they may go to the grocery store to get toiletries or different things, or they may go somewhere special like the zoo or bowling. It's a good place. I would recommend it. I like that they accept pets. If you live there for 24 months and run out of money, then you can apply for Medicaid.
