St. Joseph Village of Chicago

What we like the most about St. Joseph Village is that it is smaller and personal and we also like how they have bilingual staff members. We would absolutely this community for someone that wants a smaller environment for themselves or their loved ones.

This has generally been a positive experience for our family and loved one. There isn't one person I can go to when I have questions or concerns. The have three shifts of staff members providing care, and there is not a consistent person to speak with about my loved one. There are three meals a day served to the residents. There are no activities in memory care.

This community has exactly what our loved one needs and what our family was looking for. Our loved one was able to move into a fully furnished apartment which was great. The staff members have been so friendly and so attentive. Our loved one is in a safe community, he is able to go to mass everyday and based on our experience we would recommend this community to other families.

They caught any illness quickly and acted to treat it. They can improve on housekeeping a bit. I picked this community because, I felt they would be better able to cope long term with my loved one and they had a high rating with the state.

It was a short lived experience but a great experience. The community is immaculately clean and did not have any fowl odors. The staff were extremely friendly and they made our loved one very comfortable.

This community was nice but there was just another community that made more sense.

My Mom was in skilled nursing at St. Joseph Village of Chicago. She received excellent care (especially during the day) from her nurses, the CNAs and her doctor. If I had a question or concern, when I called her doctor, he always returned my calls within that same day. There is room for improvement with the availability of staff at night to help with patients" needs, but overall, I was pleased with both her medical and personal needs care.

Our family had an in person experience and the setting of the community was very different, it was much more of an inner city setting and it was pretty Catholic heritage based. We just thought our loved one may of felt a little out of place.

I toured here. They were nice but it was very costly. They pretty much told us that we needed $250k for my mom to move in. The administrator was very nice, experienced, and knowledgeable about the facility and what they had to offer. Everything was top notch and the rooms were very nice. She was really upfront about the money, and it was understandable, but it was just too much for us. The facility was very clean and the staff was very friendly. I was able to see the restaurant and it seemed to be very nice, almost like it was built for VIPs. It didn't fit our needs but if you have the money for it then it would be a nice place to live.

Thus far I think they are doing a good job. She seems to be doing rather well. The staff is very friendly and caring. For the most part, they are taking good care of her. The biggest thing is help assist her at night and help her with her nightly routine. I've eaten there with her once and I thought the meal was very good. Mom thinks the food is good and that is the main activity here, the social time during meals They have some activities that mom has participated in. She really likes to play bridge and so far no one there plays. There is the daily mass for those interested. It;s very clean and warm and inviting. There is a patio courtyard and it is nicely landscaped. So far they are doing a good job she hasn't been there that long.

What a gem! A beautiful facility, plenty of activities and wonderful, caring staff. And of course, best of all, mom loves the place. We were terribly worried and felt she was going to be quite a handful after 60 years in the same house and not wanting to move. To our surprise she settled right into memory care and now one of her conversations is how much she likes her apartment. Mom is relaxed and enjoying herself more than we’ve ever seen and we’re at ease knowing she has the care she needs.

This is community is outstanding. We like that they are attentive. They go out of their way to make sure that the menu is gov.. They have church services more than once a week and this was something that my mom wanted.I feel good knowing that she is happy here with the care that she is receiving. The activities are helpful for her. We would recommend this community for the care and the value for a loved one.
