My family's experience did not meet expectations

They are all in at the beginning but once you are there you are just a way to make money. I feel it was smoke and mirrors. It's a great place if you can 100% care for yourself and do not rely on following through on anything. I would only recommend this facility if your loved one can 100% care for themselves or if you have parents who look after each other. If you love one who need additional care which you pay for, it's not worth the money. The majority of the aids are caring but there are a few who need to find a new profession. I had one who was abusive towards my mother, that they did let go. The nurses and the nurse administrator are too busy and do not follow up so you need to stay on top of things. They had a wonderful activity director but she had left and after that I was not impressed. On the outside it looks impressive and when you get there they talk a great talk but be aware it's all smoke and mirrors

A Wonderful Welcome!

My family is in the process of finding a quality home for my mother who is in need of assisted living. Our positive experience quickly started with our first phone call! [name removed]not only took the the time to answer our questions thoroughly, her kindness and compassion was also well received. When we arrived for our tour, the residents shared their positive experiences and the atmosphere was lively and joyful. We felt that the residents and staff knew each other well and had a good working relationship. Mom loved the social calendar! We feel The Courtyard will be the right place for her.

Disappointed in the experience.

This facility was bought by someone else and it was a shortage of staff bringing agency staff they were rude and inexperienced. The food choices were terrible too. Lack and inexperience staff, lack of communication between staff and management. Really bad food for the residents!! I probably would not recommend them to others who are looking.

Very Upsetting

My wife entered the facility on [date removed]. She died [date removed] and her remains were moved to the funeral home the same day. When she entered I authorized the Courtyards to debit my checking account. On [date removed] they withdrew payment for March, and rent for April in the amount of $[removed] for All of April as wel as $[removed] for level of care. They ripped me off for $[removed] because they thought they could get away with it. I am meeting with my lawyer this week to discuss it.

My review of Randall Residence of McHenry

Our family had a virtual tour experience and it was good, and the location was convenient it was on my way to work so i could be there if anything every happened. The lady who ran the place followed up with us multiple times which was nice.

Great Experience!

Our mother recently moved into the Randall Residence. The staff was very helpful in making the transition a positive experience. Everyone was caring and treated us with warmth and kindness. During the registration process leading up to my mother’s move, [names removed] were super helpful and made this difficult transition very easy for us. Our family is happy that we chose Randall knowing that our mother is receiving excellent care. Kudo's to the entire staff.

Randall Residence is great!

Our family had an unexpected need for help for a favorite uncle, and those of us who could help lived on the West coast. We called several places in McHenry, including Randall Residence, while our uncle was in the hospital. We needed to have everything ready for him so he could be transferred to rehab and then to assisted living. Our first contact was with the front desk, who referred to the Director of Sales & Marketing. The director was better than we ever could have expected. It was like speaking to a good friend or a friendly neighbor. She sent us the information the same day, and spoke with us several times before we arrived. When we took the tour, it was like meeting up with an old friend. Our uncle was given the same tour a few days later so he could choose where he wanted to be. The concierge, medical rep and maintenance man were all so very helpful, and made our Uncle feel welcome and comfortable. The day we moved him, each person who would be treating him visited.

Your loved one deserves better!!

My dad was a resident for over 6 years. We loved the place until the current director took over. She is very unprofessional, uncaring and incompetent. The staff most are nice, but are untrained. I have many stories from the last few months but will tell the worst. On [date removed] my dad fell and went to the er. The nurse in the er informed me that Fox Point called and said he was no longer allowed back. My dad was never late on a payment, was a well liked 95 year old blind WWII vet. While going through my dad’s box of medication that they were giving him I found urefrigerated, expired and someone else’s medication.

Very beautiful and clean facility

I took a tour at this facility and I liked it a lot. It’s a new facility so everything is updated. The staff was very nice and helpful. I wasn’t able to try the food but I saw that they had a lot of options available to choose from. The building looked sterile almost with how clean it was; everything looked beautiful. They had a few activities and even gave us a schedule with everything they provided. Ultimately, we decided against moving my Mom in due to the pricing.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Illinois regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois regulations for Assisted Living.
