We toured HarborChase of Plainfield and the staff were friendly, but it had a very depressing and dreary atmosphere. It did not seem anywhere near as nice as some others we looked at.

I would not recommend this community to others. I felt very mislead, this community said that they could put her in assisted living and then over to memory care and our loved one would thrive here. That did not happen, They did not take care of our loved ones the way that they said they would. When we would communicate with the staff they would not know what was going with our loved ones.

On the tour we liked what we saw, and we do know our loved one likes it there but with the covid restrictions we just aren't able to see our loved one that much. It is a nice place, she has a suite with a refrigerator, bathroom and a bedroom.

My experience was limited due to my loved one's quick decline. The care the community gave was fantastic.

HarborChase of Plainfield was not a good fit for my husband. He needed memory care but because of Covid they placed him in assisted living. After 2 days I was told he needed to move to HarborChase of Naperville. Their memory care didn't work out either. Because of behavioral issues he was sent to Silver Oaks. Medically he needed more care and when we moved him even though he had not occupied a room at HarborChase for a whole month we did not get any of that fee refunded.

I am very happy with the care my mother is receiving. I understand these are difficult times and they are following precautions, but now a worker has brought in the COVID and I want to be able to see my mother before something happens to her. Living longer, but not being able to see loved ones isn't exactly living. I wish they could put in place a way to safely visit, as it is obvious, the workers leave work and get to live their life.

We were told a lot of things about extras and services while we were touring and deciding to select and once moved in most was not true and struggled to get our calls answered. The apartment/rooms are spacious. There have been several issues with the medication program paid for each month to the point we have had to take back over the filling of prescriptions. The food is good but several times what is provided on menu is not actually what is being served that day. Actual selections and foods are ordered by corporate and not real change for options suggested by residents. There are really any outside activities planned except maybe once a month.

My husband was to be transferred to Harborchase Plainfield. However he passed away before entering the facility. We had not moved any furniture or personal belongings into his apt. Yet. I paid over $8000.00 and only was given 2 in return. I feel this was a bad way to treat seniors. They could be a little more caring. I could see them keeping the community fee, but that's all

Caring staff was noticed, engaged residents, pride, I did notice an odor of urine in one section. Loved the time I spent with the coordinator. But not my choice, due to location and higher monthly price. Facility was nicely laid out, and impressed with reminiscent pieces found in the hallways, be it photography, a doll crib, old time photos, sitting areas, It is much further away from me, that was the drawback.

After touring several assisted living facilities in the Naperville/Plainfield areas, Harbor Chase of Plainfield felt like the right place for my mother. The apartments were very spacious compared to the competition and the prices were comparable. My mother has been living there a little over 3 weeks and seems happy. The administrative side on the other hand is not well run. The Director of Sales was new and misquoted service level pricing, made multiple pricing mistakes on the paperwork, sent incomplete paperwork to our lawyer for review, and gave misinformation several times on how the medication management options worked. When I came to pick up the keys which were supposed to be at the front desk they weren't available. When I mentioned to the Executive Director that the Director of Sales made several mistakes all she said was that she was new. The Executive Director is relatively new also. She didn't even ask for input. I've worked in sales and marketing for 14 years and consider this unprofessional for senior management. In addition, a nurse tried to give my mother the wrong medication at the dinner table. They also have been giving her magnesium daily that came from the nursing home but didn't show it should be given in their notes. The notes from the NP show that my mother should be weighed weekly and should see the dietician. She was just weighed for the first time since arriving last week and has not seen the dietician. Today my mother complained that they haven't emptied her bathroom garbage can for days. This isn't even all the little oversights that have occurred. I overheard another family member complaining about a medication dispensing error to a nurse.
