The staff is exemplary. Evanston it self is a vibrant, diverse community and our building is located two blocks from downtown. Transit to Chicago by either CTA or the commuter rail line called Metra is three blocks away. The meals are varied and you pick from a different menu each day. Finally, our fellow residents are very accomplished individuals with a wide array of accomplishments.

Attentive care

We are still having financial issues with reimbursement after my parent has been dead for 11 months. The business office is in complete disarray. Kind and caring, attentive, and really got to know my father even though he was only there 3 months

Nice Place | Hard to get consistent info

Moved mother-in-law in January. Staff are friendly on the surface. Not sure if we asked more questions than others, but we found slow responses and/or conflicting information from a range of staff. She's been in for 1 month. During this time, Trulee had an unfortunate stubborn GI virus that had the facility in lockdown for a couple of weeks. Mother-in-law also transitioned from independent to assisted living (we anticipated this switch - yet did not think it would happen within the first 2 weeks). Many moving parts during a challenging period.

Our Families Experience

What they could improve on would be food and billing, everything is ala cart and the food lacks imagination. I would recommend them to others, if you have pets you do have to pay extra.

The move was easy. Most of the staff is friendly. The meals are better than average, although they were better initially than they are now. I suggest things all the time. I would recommend this facility to others.

It's new and lovely and working very hard to flourish. I certainly would recommend Trulee. Move in was very smooth. They work with a group that regularly moves people from their homes to Trulee and sets up everything and it's very smooth. Staff is accommodating, they listen to the residents! We have a residents council, and a process for getting messages to the staff. It's unlike any other facility I've ever seen because all in one building there's no swimming pool. There is a patio and a skyline room with lovely views for entertaining or meetings. Happy hour twice a week with entertainment and a full bill of activities, including theater opera shopping etc.

Review for Trulee Evanston

The staff and administrators are very accessible and work hard to listen to all resident requests and to ensure that their needs are met. We chose it because it's fresh and new, has beautiful facilities, location was right, staff was friendly and outgoing and could offer our loved one what is needed.

Highly recommend and recommend the health cost addition so the price never rises. We picked this community because it is friendly warm but firstly for round the clock nursing.
