Evolve Senior Living

The facility is clean and staff is nice. They do provide housekeeping every other week and do a good job. Mom sometimes comments that the food is plain, but other than that no complaints.

need regular communication with director of facility in a group setting . director needs to be involved on a daily basis

Above average facility overall. Good to have memory care and assisted living under one roof. Staff turnover is very high. Night shift staff in memory care is sub contract staff with little training. Assisted living staff are employees and much better trained. Very friendly staff. Everyone makes a point of getting to know residents by name.

Excellent care, responsive and communicates well (especially important to me as I live 750 miles away). They always treat me well when I visit and know my name!

I toured Novel Place Blue Spring, and at the time we thought the added care would be better at the community we chose. The deciding factor between the two was the call pendant that the other community provided; whereas Novel did not.

The staff has been incredibly helpful, friendly, and willing to work with us. We had to pay for some of my loved one's expenses because her Social Security wasn't available until the middle of the month, so they've worked with us getting that taken care of with our credit card instead of hers. Anytime we've reached out to them or asked for clarification, they've been quick to respond. Everyone is just so friendly. My loved one is very happy with the quality of the food. It's fresh and tastes like restaurant quality. We just wish they offered three meals a day instead of two - a continental breakfast and dinner. The units themselves are very nice and essentially brand new. Hers has a very nice full kitchen, which is great for people who are self sufficient. And in her case, it has given her more drive to be a little more active and go outside of her comfort zone because she's cooking her lunches for herself and therefore standing and walking around more than she would otherwise. She's so happy there, and the cost with the promotion they were running was an incredible deal.

I think the location is great, it is right next door to a grocery store and restaurants. That has been one of the biggest plus's for me. I have a 1 bedroom with a den and it is comfortable for what I need. I would recommend to others looking, especially if you are more independent and able to get around on your own.

HarborChase is absolutely beautiful, it is expensive but completely worth it. It is very clean, and the sales coordinator while we were touring was amazing. She was on top of everything, she was always available and was great at explaining anything we had questions on.

It's a very quiet community, and very open. The people are very pleasant, especially the residents. We haven't had too many issues with anything. My loved one tends to stay in her apartment due to health issues. I love the apartment. For her, it's easy to get around in. Everything is accessible to her. Really the only issue is the food. If you need food delivered to your apartment, they can do that for an extra charge. You just have to fill out a menu on a Tuesday for the following week. I did that for her Thanksgiving meal and then followed up afterward to make sure everything was squared away. But they missed her meal delivery on Thanksgiving day. When they finally got it to her, she felt like it was a bunch of leftovers, which was disappointing to her on a holiday. She just doesn't care for the food overall and says it's really bland. I ate with her one day, and we had tamales, chips and salsa, and a salad. I thought it was pretty good. But I'm not the one eating there every day. Overall I think it's a wonderful place. And the cost is great compared to assisted living. For independent living, they have a lot of activities and outings, and it's a great option for seniors who are more active/mobile.

Good community, just not the right fit for my mom.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. They are good at getting things set up for your loved one. The community is willing to assist your loved ones getting settled into the community as well. The food is good for the residents.

I would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The staff and residents are nice and friendly. It has a casual atmosphere. Some of the activities are live music, cocktail parties, art, movies, games, and more for the residents to choose from.

HarborChase community has been great, they are very accommodating to our loved one, and have been very helpful in regards to our loved ones health. We have noticed from a far that there really isn't on person to get a hold of for answers, you kind of have to go through multiple people. However, they are still very kind when we speak with them and the community is bright and cheerful.

We chose HarborChase of Long Grove because of the fact that they had no covid incidences and also he needed 2 person assist which is hard to find in the area. The room sizes here were good. The food was really good, they were chef prepared meals. They provided a lot of activities for residents to participate in. I would recommend them to others looking.

The community is very nice but the communication could be better. the rooms are good sized and I would recommend this community to others

This community has very friendly staff. They have tried hard to keep activities going. The facility is very nice, and the room sizes comparable to other facilities. The food was good in the beginning but is not as good now. I would definitely recommend this community to others.

Definitely In the running. we really liked everything about this place and felt so welcome. [Name removed] was AMAZING! Saw the facility that can accommodate both my parents needs. Con is the waiting list. (Possible 90 days or more)

A Place for Mom was so wonderful for me during this time in finding this great community for my parents. I like that there is a nurse on staff and they are very responsive to everything my parents need. And they regulate their meds which was important to me. The food is wonderful too. There are so many activities that they join in my dad loves playing poker and my mom loves doing the class volleyball with balloons and of course both enjoy the Friday Happy Hour! Mom is getting her hair done again. They look good and feel good here. Everything stays so clean and well maintained, I would recommend this place and have already referred A Place for Mom to one of my close friends.

PROS- Very new- Opened in May 2017. [Removed] was delightful. Darling Bistro upon entering. 1BR is roomy, w Juliette balcony. and very nice. Competitive pricing. Has only 30+ residents- "25+ in process of moving in". Intimate foyer and dining (restaurant style) Exercise classes every morning- chair yoga, light weights... "VIVA Program"- healthy lifestyle plan sounds good but not really set up. Salon on site open 1 day a week. $1,000 deposit to hold room applied to rent. Meds included in price (pre-packed by pharmacy in locked box in each room- given by Nursing Assistant. Each resident given Life Alert pendant. Residents are checked on 4x a day. 5 minutes from LBS- Miller & Rand- close to her friends ([Removed]). After 2 years residency, they accept Medicare/Medicaid- no others do this. CONS- No Memory Care. Still getting set up- Bistro not opened, no bridge group "yet", "Getting" rescue dog when have more residents. 120+ rooms- have 30+ residents, 25+ "still moving in". No Library on site. Some but not much outdoor seating. Nursing 7 days a week during day. NA 24/7. OVERALL- I Liked it a lot, but is no Memory Care a deal breaker?? Also, it needs more time to be get "established" and kinks worked out before I'd see Mom there. We can check it again when it is time to move Mom.

When I toured this facility, the building was very nice but no one was talking to each other. I saw residents in line for things and no one was interacting or smiling. I was looking for a friendly environment and this community did not fit what I was searching for.
