Check out all the space around a unit you're considering

My friend had to move from the first floor to the third floor because her first floor unit was near the greenhouse, AND an exterior door that was in the hallway next to her unit. This door made a lot of noise as folks used this door all throughout the day and night. It would've been nice to know that in advance of her moving into the first floor unit and save the cost of the second move.

Residents can take advantage of the large entertainment space — complete with a dance floor and a grand piano — or enjoy the gardens and walking paths outside. Residents are encouraged to participate in activities designed to focus on a Vibrant Body, Vibrant Brain, and Vibrant Connection through the community’s Vivid Life Program.

Helpful and Caring Staff

From our first tour to moving in the staff has been very supportive and caring. The big complaint would be the food in memory care according to our friend. But other than that she is feeling like it’s home.

Overall, friendly, safe option

Administrative staff changes constantly. I am not sure why. Kitchen staff was good when we arrived, then there were issues. Now they have a good chef and friendly servers. The caregivers truly care and go above and beyond loving on the residents. Their activity people truly love their job

Great place for mom

I love everything except the menu of higher priced upgrades they can install later. The facility is very clean. The director is lovely. My mom constantly says "the staff here is amazing". It fits my mothers needs.

Bright and warm environment

What they could improve on would be better quality food, having more healthy choices versus too many carbs. Drinks are mostly sweet juices. More staffing and resources. Lovely staff but sometimes they are short staffed.

An excellent fit for mom

We had several specific services we needed for Mom, and Vitality Living fit all of them. The staff were a joy to work with, and when mom moved in, the top executives welcomed her in person with flowers. There were already welcoming balloons by her door. The staff continues to be attentive at sll levels, and have responded promptly to all my special requests for Mom’s care.

Good experience after two months

I picked Vitality from among many other spots due to the welcoming community feel and the activities. The move in process was pretty easy. The maintenance crew does a good job with checking in on new residents and fixing little things here and there. All the staff I interact with have been friendly and I've observed only respect from them towards residents. I feel good about Vitality as my grandmother's home.

Stay Involved, Be Ready For Change.

You have to stay on top of them to get just the basic services that you pay for. We are always asking them to do laundry and assist with bathing which is supposed to be done twice a week. In a years time they have bathed her less than ten times. My wife has to go there weekly to make sure she gets a shower. Plus they have increased our monthly bill by $[removed]in a years time. That is 34.6% and have offered or performed no more services for the increase. It is has become more about servicing the well being and interest of the staff instead of the client. The is no stability within their memory care unit. Staff changes are frequent and no one knows what is happening since there are such frequent turnovers.

A nice community, but residents could get more personal attention.

I don't think my dad is getting as much stimulation as I had initially expected. But this may not be specific to Vitality. Maybe all places are like this in the memory care. They kind of let the residents do what they want, even if they don't want to do anything (like my dad). I had hoped they would push him more to take showers, change his clothes daily and attend some activities, but I had to be on them to take care of this. I think the staff mean well and are doing what they can but residents don't get individual attention like I had expected. I have looked into hiring a personal home health aid to visit him since I can't be there and I think he needs more stimulation, both physically and mentally.

Vitality Living Lake Forest review

I am impressed by how many young people work in the memory care areas; most are inexperienced, but seem adequately prepared for most duties. Cleanliness I cannot say anything but excellent! The cleaning staff are doing great work everywhere I go. Friendliness of staff is very good. all the time when I am present. The quality of care is very good, but sometimes [name removed] hair looks oily and uncombed, especially when I pick her up for church on Sunday mornings. The meals I have seen are heavy with calories with meat and eggs. No sign of salads. Activities used to be super, even though the participation was less than I would like to see. Did the wonderful young women that has done it until about a month or so ago leave the staff? I have not seen her for sometime now. Value for the cost has been truly surprising. Assisted living in [name removed] other place was several hundred dollars more. It is within our budget now. I asked [name removed] to please limit outings and such to about $25.00. I am quite content with the cost. That wraps it up! Keep up the good work.

Loving staff

Sometimes, other residents walk into his room and nap or use his bathroom . It upsets him immensely. The staff tries their best to prevent them from entering his room, but sometimes they are caring for another resident. They actually moved one gentleman to another wing because the situation had gotten out of hand. They try their best. I have found the staff caring and respectful. I like my loved ones caregivers very much. Overall, I would highly recommend Vitality Living Lake Forest to others looking.

Great Facility

I like the dining options, how they have an all day menu and no specific seating. I like the facility itself. It's well taken care of. I also like how they communicate when there's an issue. Like when my Mom fell and had to go to the hospital. The biggest thing I don't like is they are not as involved in scheduling her medical appointments as her previous ALF. Overall it was really good. I would definitely recommend it.
