Grace Management, Inc

In the middle of my search I had a visit at this community. It was not the right spot for my mom but they did an alright job showing me the place.

My dad has been here almost 6 months. The facility is clean and new carpets are being installed soon. The food was great at first but has steadily declined in quality. They have been through three Chefs in six months and have laid off staff plus cut workers hours. They hardly had any vacancies at first and now there are 28. Corporate management needs to shape this place up or there will soon be a 29th vacancy. There is no excuse for this.

Very clean, well kept facility with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The residents seem happy & healthy. Definitely, would consider this facility for my parents care.

The staff where very friendly to me during my tour and made sure to answer any questions I had as well as answer any questions I had. The facility was just a little out dated for my liking and not very comparable to the other places I had looked at in the area. It was just not the right fit for me in the end decision.

There are some things about this community that could be better. The meals could some improvements. Other than that issue everything seems to be working out pretty well. The staff is kind, and have been welcoming. My apartment looks nice. Overall they need to improve the meals.

[Removed] I visited Brookdale-Northbrook by myself. [Removed] was very candid with me and discussed the differences between the rental (buying care) vs. "buy in" (buying real estate)options. She said that we would find more people in our age group in a "buy in" environment. I'm inclined to believe that she is right about this and will know more after we visit Sedgebrook. The facility was nice enough, but I wouldn't want to live there, as the only thing I would have in common is my silver hair. I felt like I was there to visit my parents or grandparents.

Now that there is a new chef, the environment is worse than before. [removed] does not know how to cook, he yells at the staff, the food is disgusting, no wonder 3 of the other chefs quit (asst. chefs). You need to look into letting him go, more people are complaining than before and look into [removed], he is one of the worst directors for the people that live here

Things could be better in dining room service. The community is looking or staff that are able to understand the residents. The facility is being remodeled and a little hard to get mail when walking trough it. Once completed it will be more fine for my friend. His living experience is going good so far and it is great for him. His apartment is convenient to the elevator and that is what he likes.

The Inspired Living was too big and unorganized. There were a lot of residents there with bad behavior and my mother was scared. She was afraid to go to the common areas. The night and day shifts had poor communication.

I had a decent tour of this community. For the most part everything went well. The community looked nice. The staff I came across was nice. There were many factors that played into where to place my parents, and this was not the community for us.

First of all this is an Independent living facility and not an assisted living facility that we are looking for. It is a very nice facility, but the management was not on time, and they were told twice that I was waiting, before they came out to greet me. I'm sure that this would be a nice place to stay, but just not what we are looking for.

This property will be nice. It is still under massive construction. They moved their office on site now. It is not ready to be on site. It is a war zone there. There are no longer any models to view. There are cranes everywhere, mud, workers everywhere, and no where to park. It is behind schedule. They are now scheduled to open End of March beginning of April.

As we walked around on the tour, we were not impressed. We tried their meals and it was okay. We felt that this was not a right fit for us because we were looking for a good rent with full care, meals, and cleaning.

My dad enjoyed alot of the things at the community. The dining and the activities were very good. We were not happy to see that they did not have someone who had the medical supplies to take care of health condition when it was needed. They could not give medical advice or treatment. On a day to day situation it is a great place. The staff is very nice and the community is clean, but we wanted to know he would have emergency treatment if needed.

Beautiful facility, very good food. We had a misunderstanding as to what transportation is provided. My mother feels "trapped" in her own words as in her home she was able to get around to places much more easily (and cheaply!)

I had a good tour of this community. It was a good experience. Unfortunately it wasn't what we were looking for. The rooms they showed me were smaller than we would like. Also their rates were a bit expensive for our budget. It was a decent tour, but not the place for father.

The cleanliness of the community could be a little better. When i took a tour of this place the guide provided me with a proper tour of the whole community. He gave me all the information regarding the amenities and the activities that are offered. The staff met along the tour were nice and attentive.

Our tour of this community was okay. I wasn't very impressed with this community. The rent was higher here than the other place we were looking at. The apartment was smaller than we would like. The building looks like an institution, which we didn't like. It didn't really have a homey feel to it. The parking was bad and you had to walk far to get to the building. This just wasn't the community for us.

Overall I'am satisfied with this community, but there are things they need to improve on. The community looks great, they do a good job with keeping the community and grounds well maintained. There are nice activities offered, everyday there is something going on for the residents. They do serve well balanced meals, and have a good variety of foods too choose from. This is a community I would recommend.

Beach House Naples is a new community with very little residents. Some of the staff was nice. I felt that some of the staff weren't going the extra mile to help my father out or understand him. The set up of his room was not working very well for him and the staff wouldn't explain to him why it was set up that way. The money spent was not worth the services they provided. It's a clean and well up-kept community.
