A fun place to live

I am currently a resident at Elison of Niles and things have been very good for me at this facility. The staff and residents are very welcoming and friendly towards other residents and our family members. The move in was very smooth and accommodating, with an elevator available for my own use. The meals are fresh and a good variety. The activities are well run and fun. I would recommend Elison of Niles as a good Independent Living Senior Home.

[name removed] Culinary Director

[name removed] Culinary Director at Elison of Niles, has made a noticeable difference in the variety & quality of our meals. He listens to residents’ suggestions & strives to implement them in the menus. I often write comments about the excellent service & the satisfactory yet improving food. He is serving more varieties of heart healthy fish, recently adding snapper & trout. Beef is on the menu at least once a week. Fresh seasonal fruit is most welcome at breakfast & as dessert at supper, as are the apples & oranges available most days. Thank you, [name removed].

Mom feels right at home.

From the moment we stepped into Elison's entrance, we were met with nothing but kindness, compassion, and reassurance. [name removed], our sales coordinator who we worked directly with, was very knowledgeable and quick to respond to questions. She introduced us to much of the staff, and after moving in, has ensured that my mother is welcomed and feels at home. Elison is a handsome property with great amenities, delicious food, and wonderful service. My mother's unit is in excellent condition, and she feels right at home.

Wish they had provided more info upfront.

We were excited about Elison of Niles originally. But after moving in, we're disappointed. They said they would assign a buddy at first to help get the resident acclimated, which they never did. It seems like they're nickel and diming us, and there are hidden costs. They charge you to change a light bulb. If you're sick, they charge you per meal to bring meals to your room. They even charge you to pick up a meal and bring it to your room yourself. The elevator was broken for over a month. The apartment is nice, and maintenance requests have been handled. But it doesn't look like housekeeping is doing very much. Overall we're disappointed.

Tour Experience

I loved the spacious foyer where residents can gather and they also have live entertainment every week. There is someone at the front desk 24/7, plenty of parking outside and the employees are really nice. Residents I met are also very friendly and seem very happy. Location is also near the shopping area other stores and very accessible to highways. I enjoyed my tour and if later on I will decide to move this place is at the top of my list.

Good place for my parents

The two ladies that we dealt with when inquiring about Elison were very nice and helpful. The staff members that I have encountered have been very friendly and welcoming. This was not an easy move especially for my mom because she and my dad were at their former place for almost 50 years. However, I think it was a good choice for my parents. It's so much nicer than the apartment they were renting and has 2 bathrooms. My parents have a one-bed with a den and it is by far the most spacious we had seen for the money. It was also one of the only places with two bathrooms, which my parents really love. They have a kitchenette with a decent size refrigerator and a small stove so my mom can cook if she wants to, which was important to her. There was also a good deal of closet space, which was important. As far as the food goes, meals are generally good but portions can be on the smaller side depending on the item. Some items are tastier than others. My mom tells me that they are working on improving the meals and do ask the residents for their opinion. Of all the nicer places we visited, Elison offered my parents the most space for the best price. Other places were cheaper but did not offer anywhere close to the space they have or the amenities they wanted.

Elison staff proactively look after the best interest of residents and doing so lowers stress level for family members

This facility is nice and always clean. I've visited a number of times at different times of the day and week and it's always so clean. All areas of the facility including public areas/restrooms/dining. All of them. Everyone has been so welcoming and supportive and a pleasure to be around here. The staff are proactive at identifying care needs that are in the best interest of the residents and communication from them has been excellent. They're the experts and are always on the look out for things. This includes all staff in all departments. The food is good, but they do have limited options for vegetarians. Overall, I would highly recommend this facility to anyone. I would live there myself!

Elison is a great place for Mom

Elison of Niles greeted my parents with open arms and were flexible to their needs. Unfortunately my father's care level was above what they service, so we had to move him elsewhere. But my mom stayed and is very happy at Elison. The staff has been very accommodating to all the changes we went though in the first few months. The apartment has everything my mom needs. It's clean and nice, and it even has views of the city. The social aspect has been good for her. She has slowly but surely been starting to engage in activities.
