Alto Wheaton was very nice based off of what we saw during our tour experience there. The room that was available looked out onto equipment (air conditioning, etc.) which I thought was not a nice view, but my mom probably would have liked it since it did not look out onto other apartments.
Alto Wheaton was nice, clean and newish. The rooms were VERY small and the overall feel of the place was more institutional and less homey than other places we toured. More than any of the places we toured, Alto felt like the same place we were coming from. We weren't convinced that my mom would get the individualized attention that she needed here.

I think it's a hard transition, both for the person with dementia as well as their family members. It's very emotional and difficult and just takes time. You need to stay on top of things and communicate often with the staff when getting started. They've been open to phone calls and provide valuable guidance. The regular staff is fine, although we had an incident with a travel nurse that has not been followed up on as we requested. But all of the other nurses are fine. The facility is very nice and presentable, and it doesn't smell.

June 15, 2022Thank you for your heartfelt and wonderful review of Anthology of Wheaton! Our entire staff at the community is fantastic, and they truly love the residents as if they were family. Providing exceptional care is always our top priority. We are happy you found us and welcome you to share your experience with family and friends.
The hallways were very long at this community and I felt like this would be an issue for my loved one. They also had keys to get into the room and with motor issues that would not work well for my loved one. If an emergency happen it just seemed like it would take a long time for help to get to them.

February 9, 2022Amanda A, thank you for your review. We would like the opportunity to speak with you further on this and welcome you to reach out to us at customersupport@anthologyseniorliving.com.
We chose Anthology because I liked that they were a smaller facility, we figured that she would get better personalized care and the adjustment would not be as difficult. I also really liked the staff that I talked with, they have always been so friendly and helpful. For what the facility offers, they are very reasonably priced. You get great care, the food is wonderful, and so is the location. We are very happy with our choice and would highly recommend to others.

Nice location, quiet building, pleasant staff. I thought the layout of the 1 bedroom apartment I was shown was a bit more inconvenient to get to the bathroom. Some of the hallway carpeting was stained. Disappointed to hear not all staff is vaccinated.

Our family was able to do an in person tour pre covid and the facility was very nice. However the hallways were extremely long, so the residents would have to talk along way to the center of the place. We did not care for that and the hallways did not have any character. The community was very nice, it did feel more like a hotel and not that homey feeling but when you got to see inside the rooms they were nicely set up.
My parents, both now deceased from natural causes, lived at Anthology in Wheaton. I have nothing but good to say about that community. When you first walk in, you meet the secretaries at the front desk. They know every resident by name and go out of their way to help the residents and converse with them. The nursing staff and care givers treat each resident with care and respect, and are great about keeping family members informed. The kitchen staff and dining room servers are kind and accommodating to the resident diners and their idiosyncrasies, going the extra mile to make the residents smile. The executive director and business manager have been honest and helpful. The activities director is the absolute best! She truly loves each person in her care, and it is amazing to see how she greets each resident and enjoys them for who they are and the history each one of them brings. Before coming to Anthology, my parents lived for four years at a much bigger, fancier retirement facility. There were more activities available at that facility, but it seemed more like a business. Anthology is a smaller, close-knit community that appreciated my parents and honored them. The variety of activities is not as numerous as the larger facility, but there were plenty of programs and activities to keep my outgoing mother happy and busy. Independent home health providers as well as hospice companies have spoken highly of Anthology. The building is clean, it smells good, and is only about three years old. I moved my parents to Anthology due to a need for assisted living care which was unavailable at the other facility. My only regret is that I didn't have my parents move to Anthology sooner.

The community is always very neat and clean. Very friendly staff, overall they do a very good job. There are always activities like games and puzzles available for residents. Travanse is definitely a good value for the price. A good choice!

My mom has lived on the memory care floor since late Oct. 2019. I chose Travanse after visiting 4 residences. It is clean, the staff is attentive to residents' needs. Most of all they off a lot of activities - especially making 2-3x/week as a group activity. My mom always loved to bake. Private apartments are roomy and kept spotless. Meals are very good. Nursing care is great! Administrator and managers are always quick to respond and help out.

Travanse Living is an upscale facility with much care and love given from the employees. My father lives in "Generations" which is the memory care floor, and I can honestly say that when I leave him each time I visit, I know he is being well cared for and is safe. His days are filled with numerous activities of which he can choose from. I give Travanse 5 stars!!

Friendly, family oriented staff. Liked the size of the facility. Did not observe community activities while touring, but saw lots of residents gathered in community areas. Clean. Room sizes were nice. Staff seem to promote well-being of residents. More expensive than some of the facilities that we toured.

My dad lived at Travanse for 16 months before he passed away. Our experience was exceptional with the staff , nurses and leadership . My dad didn’t want to go there at first he wanted to live with one of his children . Like my mom’s parents did with them. However , that wasn’t an option because of the level of care he needed and the fact that all of children worked and traveled a lot. The facility knowing dad was apprehensive about living there went to extremes to make sure he was comfortable and involved in the things he was interested in. Lot of activities throughout the day and week. Place was new , clean and very well maintained. Food was okay , but service staff was outstanding and would go out of their way to fulfill the needs of my dad. If he didn’t want to go downstairs to eat they would bring his food to him. Ensuring he didn’t go to bed without eating. They kept our family aware of any thing that we should be made aware about his health or medical needs. Leadership helped and guided us when was the appropriate time to put him in hospice so his needs were being effectively met. Whenever I brought an issue or opportunity to management’s attention they addressed it quickly . Travanse was a life saver for our family to give us peace of mind that dad was being taken care of in a quality manner when we weren’t able to be there. Plus, we always felt he was safe . He didn’t totally accept living there versus with one of us , but he was accepting of the situation. He also loved the staff . Great facility and staff..

The staff is SO helpful and kind. I really feel like they care about my parents as people, and not just as residents paying rent. My parents have only been there three months but the staff knows them so well already. The staff keeps me informed concerning medical issues, and any other concerns they notice. The staff tailors group outings and activities around the interests of the residents, making each resident feel special. I love Travanse!

Great place! The facility is only two years old, so everything is new - appliances, carpeting, etc. My parents have been there about three months, and the staff is really friendly - all of them. They know me by name, and they know each of the residents by name. It's a relatively small facility, so it has a family feel to it. My parents were at a different facility but needed assisted living care so moved to Travanse. In assisted living, my dad is getting all the care he needs, and the staff does a good job of monitoring his care. Not quite as many activities as their previous, very large facility, but my parents are really happy at Travanse and have plenty to keep them busy. I feel like this facility cares more about the residents than the money. I have no regrets that I chose Travanse.

Went on a tour and this is A very nice community. Looking for some options for my Grandmother. I think she would be happy here with how clean it is and the amenities offered. She would be in good hands with the nice and helpful staff.
