The best decision we ever made

My husband and I moved to IL at Freedom Village during the pandemic. the staff was so helpful as we navigated the real estate difficulties and made our move easy and smooth. We love the activities - I am able to teach classes here as I did elsewhere. My husband played the piano in the atrium in the evenings for his pleasure and others. Recently when my husband had many medical issues, the staff was great- calling the ambulance, transitioning him from the hospital to rehab and ultimately skilled care. The staff could always report on his condition and they did everything to keep him engaged as his health declined. The entire staff spoke with my and my sons, answered all our concerns during this very difficult period and used our minds. We could never have managed this in our home, I am here, surrounded my friends and staff as I start this new chapter of my life. Best decision we ever made. .

Exceptional!!!

The marketing team at Freedom Village can be summed up in many words, but exceptional is one word that best describes it best. They are just great. They will do everything possible to ease the pain of moving. The minute you move in the perks will start. A knock on your door with an apple pie with napkins., plates and silverware is just the beginning. Your neighbor across the isle may very well drop off some cookies. They give you a name tag with a green ribbon. Everyone who sees you wearing such will stop you and a smile and a handshake Will follow with the words welcome. There is always a party on somewhere with s beer , wine, or a cocktail Within a hands grasp. This may very well be the closest you will ever be here on earth. You will love it here. It is an exceptional place to live.

I love it here.

I moved to Freedom Village from a 55+ community. I’m so glad I did. I’m making new friends, have delicious meals in a beautiful intimate dining room every evening and never eat alone. I’m 76 and have a beautiful condo and feel safe and active.

Putting the Care in Continuing Care

In October 2021, my mom relocated to The Gardens at Freedom Village. For many reasons—dementia, resistance to moving, and leaving her home of 50 years—we expected Mom’s move to be challenging. The entire staff created a transition plan: a clear contract, quick turnaround on her room, and receiving Mom on her terms on move-in day. While never easy, Mom’s reaction to the move and her adjustment overall were much better than we had hoped—all because of the care demonstrated by the staff. Within her first week, Mom was seen onsite by her new physician. Her flu shot and COVID boosters were given, and she was accompanied to a routine medical exam. Day-to-day, the staff helps her select clothing, schedules a haircut at the salon, or even chooses menu items, all while preserving her independence and dignity. Because of the professionalism, personal interest, and patience of [name removed] and [name removed]—both of whom are tremendous assets to Freedom Village—Mom is transitioning well.

Putting the Care in Continuing Care

For many reasons—dementia, resistance to moving, leaving her home of 50 years—we expected Mom’s move to The Gardens at Freedom Village to be challenging. The sales, administration, and nursing staff created a transition plan: a clear contract, quick turnaround of a room, hanging photos/curtains, and receiving Mom on her terms. While never easy, Mom’s reaction and her adjustment were much better than we had hoped—all because of the care demonstrated by the staff. Her room feels like "hers." We are incredibly happy to see Mom interacting with the staff and residents—not living alone. We selected The Gardens at Freedom Village after visiting 5 continuing care communities and working with Mom on moving for 2-1/2 years. The Gardens at Freedom Village provided the best value because we have peace of mind. Low employee turnover and well-maintained facilities were important, but the support of each member of the staff is what gives us comfort that Mom is receiving quality care.

The Staff at Freedom Village Helps Make The Transition Time As Painless As Possible

I would let others know that the staff are responsive and friendly to the families and residents. The community is very clean. They seem to have a lot of activities available for the residents. The dining attendants are very attentive to the residents. They are willing to work with the residents on requests for food.

Highly recommend

I just thought that the hospice nurse here was outstanding. Also, the person who ran the special care unit, [name removed] was excellent. I would absolutely recommend to others looking if your situation comes down to it.

Excellent Community

I would tell my friends that it is an excellent place to be, but you have to be careful. The is expensive, but you don't get your value. The staff and residents were very nice. The room was good. My only drawback was that the community went on lock down during my time there due to COVID. I don't think there was anything wrong that.

Freedom Village is the best!

My mother has lived at Freedom Village since 1999, first in a beautiful condo, next in Assisted Living and finally in Skilled Care for the last 5 years. She is now 96 years old, legally blind, hard of hearing, and has advanced dementia. She spends most of her time in a wheelchair and is happy in her own world thinking most of the time that she is a teenager. She has had outstanding care. All of the staff have been very caring. Particularly, under stressful times, the Program Department has gone out of their way to keep all of the residents safely occupied. Freedom definitely gets 5 stars.

Do your homework

A previous review has it 100 percent correct with their review. Speak with a medical technician privately on the real story with this place. They are impressive on the outside but on the inside, absolutely horrible. Totally understaffed. Expired medication, and there is a good chance that you will miss getting your medication when you are supposed to get it. Caregivers are understaffed and my relative sat soiled. If your loved one needs assistance or has a history of falls, with the lack of care due to understaffing, there is a real risk of falls. Now, I do know that management treats the employees horribly. It is no wonder why they are understaffed. No one wants to work under these conditions. Do your homework, ask lots of questions to the med staff in private. Management puts on a great show but when you speak privately, you will learn the truth. For the price you are paying, service is sub-par at best. I have nothing but positive things to say about the med technicians but they get no support from management

Avoid skilled nursing there at all costs

After many years of uneventful life in independent living (where the only problem was how the food went downhill after Brookdale took over), my mother had a stroke, suffered paralysis, and spent her final 6 years at the "Inn" - skilled nursing. Staffing was a problem, the nurses overworked, the aides as well (some of whom were desperately in need of more training). A supposed slip from a chair (mind you, she was partially paralyzed) broke her leg, and 90 days later she was dead. The wound was not cared for properly and became necrotic. Opiates were necessary to keep her painfree. The aide who "found" her was covered up for by the staff, even though the ones who knew us gave me the wink wink, nudge nudge when parroting the corporate line. Avoid skilled nursing there at all costs. Your loved one's life may depend on it.

From an outsider looking in.

As a local SRES Realtor, I have helped so many Seniors transition from their current home to Assisted Living and every time I visit my past clients at Freedom Village, the environment is happy and lively. The staff is amazing and the facility is like a high end hotel. I just met with a past client today and she could not stop talking about how it was the best decision she ever made and couldn't be happier. And that each day feels like a vacation. I had to share my thoughts on here because I think it is important to recognize the Senior Living facilities who really do such a great job. I can't say this has been the experience of all the facilities I have visited my clients in, so it is refreshing to know places like this exist.

Very, very nice. I could move in tommorrow however, I cannot afford to even get in without my son's signature, so when I run out of money, I wouldn't get kicked out. Very pricey but just what I'm looking for.

Welcome Home

Living at Freedom Village at Brandywine for just over a month, I can only say it is a JOY to wake up here everyday! Of course, we each bring our own personalities and preferences with us but I find that EVERY staff member & virtually every resident looks out for others with ready smiles and sincere greetings. A friendly chat or any needed assistance is only a greeting or request away. A packed calendar of widely varied activities is published weekly. Activities are primarily RESIDENT directed with staff assistance as needed. The concierge desk is staffed 24/7 by those ready/willing/able to answer questions, identify best resource person(s) for any need and contact them as necessary. An experienced/knowledgeable nurse (LPN/LVN) is available 24/7 by phone, emergency call bell in residence or call necklace. Administration continuously works with Resident Advisory Council leaders making decisions affecting every aspect of this community. In addition, any resident is welcome to speak with administrators RE: any suggestions or concerns. A fellow resident best summarized life here as "every promise made by Marketing here will NOT be as Marketing claims, IT WILL BE BETTER"!

It is Fair. I spoke to some residents and they liked the facility. We were not offered to partake in lunch and we thought it was rude to walk us through the dinner area while residents were eating. We are waiting until we tour other facilities to get a better view of this location.

Completed a recent breakfast tour with my parents and I could sense that they liked the place. Hard to find anything bad to say about this premier facility. The unfortunate part is that I don't believe this buy-in facility is in the best interest of their budget.
