Review for The Sheridan at River Forest

Day & afternoon staff are a 5 they work well and speak well with residents and some even go above & beyond. Nurses on Day & afternoons are great. Nights need an extra hand a rover that can go to both floors if needed. The night staff may be assisting someone a little longer which leaves another resident waiting extra long time. Food is good and many activities for residents.

Dedicated staff

The facility was clean and well-maintained, the office staff was always responsive and helpful, and the people who worked in the memory care unit were exceptionally patient and kind.

STAY AWAY!!!!!!

The memory care is set up for failure. There are too many residents to maintain a calm environment. Nursing staff is a major issue and there is no continuity of care. I do not recommend - I moved mom out after 1 year & 3 hospitalizations. ( 1 due to not giving mom her medications for Alzheimer's. The food needs to be geared more towards freshness which is helpful for dementia. The bottom line - this place is all about the bottom line. (Not about the residents )

Sheridan at River Forest

They over promise on staff assistance. I had to hire a private aide to make sure my dad is taken care of. Have had issues with sheets not being changed when needed. Room cleanliness is an issue. I'm disappointed at lack of activities. Giving the facility another month to get their act together or I am moving him. They are having difficulty keeping staff so there is a great deal of turnover. I know they are working at fixing it but for what I pay I won't wait forever.

Review for The Sheridan at River Forest

The care staff does seem to care. The administrative staff can sometimes be hard to reach. It is a beautiful facility and I think it would be hard to find a perfect facility. I would recommend it.

Our Experience

Overall I feel that my mom is at a good place and I feel comfortable that they are handling her daily needs. I do think that they need to expand their programming to include much more physical activity and specialty programs for the memory care residents that are higher functioning. It is definitely a systemic issue. Unfortunately, eldercare is a bottom line business.

Our experience

The care is very good. My biggest frustration is that whenever I have questions or need to know something, I find if very difficult to get a hold of anyone. If I call and leave a message or email them, I never get a response. They need to have more interactive activities and encourage the residents to get to know one another.

The Sheridan at River Forest review

The staff members at the community are so friendly that we would give them 10 stars. We brought a friend with us one day to visit our loved one and she liked it so much that she said when the time comes she would like to move in there and that was huge for us. We do think it is a very valuable cost and based on the experience we would recommend them to other families. Even though he has not participated in the activities yet from what we have seen they look phenomenal and the staff had put in all their efforts to really encourage him to get involved. He does say the food is really good as well.

Highly Successful Choice in a Difficult Decision

This has been a wonderful experience. I cannot say enough about it, it is wonderful. The staff have been helpful, thoughtful, and caring towards my loved one. My loved one is thriving since being in the community. The staff communication with the family is thoughtful, kind, friendly, and respectful. They know my loved one by name. You can tell the staff really love the residents because they are well groomed, clean, and vibrant. There are three meals a day, and healthy and mindful choices for the residents to choose from. Games, movies, art room, and more are some of the activities offered to the residents to participate in.

I've been here since June and find this to be the BEST place to live. The managing staff is wonderful as are the caregivers - however, they could use more caregivers. Two of my friends have moved here on my recommendation.

Seemed most residents were memory care and only saw about 20-30 residents during the tour. Great community overall.
