Love This Place!

The friendliness and helpfulness of staff. My Mom loves the outdoor courtyard area that has plenty of chairs, tables, small path for walking & veggie/flower gardens. She also loves the Bistro that has an automatic hot cocoa/coffee/cappuccino machine. They make residents feel as independent as they want. Love the 24 hour nursing staff just in case my mom needs it. The staff knows the residents names. When my mom isn't feeling well they'll bring her meals to her room which is great. I feel so confident that she's being taken care of and not neglected.

GRAND of course

Grand Victorian of Sycamore is awesome, definitely a 5. Great staff from the aids up to management! Easy to work with, easy to talk to, super attentive! My parents needs changed a lot since they moved there and every change was met with respect and courtesy! I can't possibly say enough good things.

Review for Grand Victorian of Sycamore

Mom was busy from the time she left her apartment for breakfast until she returned after dinner. I FaceTimed my mom after dinner every day so I got to speak with the nurse on duty when mom received her meds. All the staff was very attentive to her needs. I would totally recommend this facility.

Strongly recommend-very accommodating!

They are SUPER accommodating. My father had only two challenges in his entire time there: when the nursing staff was short staffed (fixed but it did take some time), and showers were freezing (as in literally no hot or even warm water). I strongly recommend this place--but I also strongly recommend that the resident's advocate takes a shower in their bathroom *before* expecting their elderly loved one to. After my father died and I was cleaning out his room, I took a shower and was really shocked and saddened to realize it was actually freezing. I never believed him.

Grand Victorian-a Super Place

My mom is currently in the Grand Vic in Sycamore. It is awesome. More like a resort than an assisted living facility. Beautiful! Friendly! Safe! Good food!! Fun activities! If I didn't have a husband and a 5 acre yard to care for....I would be there!!!

My mother has lived here over 3 years and we have been very pleased with her care. From the front desk receptionist to the maintenance man to administrators, nurses and CNA's. Kindness, patience and love is shown by all!

Daughter

Mom has lived here over 2 1/2 years. She could no longer be left alone but did not go happily. Current staff are very good and kind. (loved receptionist!) Biggest complaint continues to be bad meals. Most all meals are not to her liking. Burnt toast, hard meat, and vegetables in general.

We liked this community when we toured it. The people we met were nice and the community looked clean. This community was just a little farther away then what we were looking for. I would recommend taking a look at it.

Comfort for mom!

My mother is doing well since her move into Grand Victorian of sycamore. She has started to join activities and get more involved. They could use some improvement on meals, though. They serve sandwiches for dinner, I think they could do better. The facility is clean and well maintained. Housekeeping cleans her room once a week.

Couldn't Be Happier!!

I highly recommend the Grand Victorian of Sycamore to a friend because it is an amazing place to live in. The staff is wonderful. The community is maintained very clean at all times and anytime I have an issue in my room that needs to be fixed, they are quick to respond, tom the head of maintenance is great. They told me that soon they will be putting new carpet in all of the rooms which is wonderful. The meals are good, could be better. My favorite part of the meals is breakfast, they let us order whatever we want. The community offers a variety of activities such as crafts, bowling on the Wii, and a pool table in the activity room. They also have a library which is a great addition. The room I am in is a good size, I have my own bathroom that is handy cap accessible, my own fridge, plenty of cupboards and my own coffee maker. I am very happy living in this community.

Very good supportive living facility.

This facility is very well maintained. The facilities are attractive and the faculty there are friendly. In my opnion this facility is more of an independent living facility. when fulll ther are only about CNA per 25 residents. If you have a loved one that needs a lot of care I would not recemend the GV. Again the VG is god at what it is designed to do. Be sure of the level of care needed and then visit the GV.

Janice is absolutely wonderful! She is going to meet my mom at Bethany Rehab to get to know her better. She is also going to set up a day for the bus from Grand Victorian to pick my mom up and bring her there to have lunch and check out some of the residents and activities. They also have a special running on moving in(it ends the end of the year), but there is no doubt that my mom would love it there.
