The staff here have always been helpful, friendly and always willing to listen. I really like the activities, but my loved one will not check them out. They are probably fine and I am sure it is just him. Maybe they could find something that a grump, 98 year old man would have interest in. I would definitely recommend The Wellshire Morton Grove....

I think it's a nice place. I like all of the staff. They're really friendly. Where it is lacking is in the activities department. My loved one isn't challenged by the activities they offer, so there isn't a lot that she's interested in. They also don't have a community bus, so there is no ability to go on outings for events, field trips, errands etc. It's a small community in comparison to other places, with about 40 residents. So from a social aspect, you're limited to the amount of people who are there. That could be a good or bad thing, depending on if your loved one gels with the folks who are there.

Our biggest concern currently is the laundry service as we are paying for this to be done, and the family is having to take this over since it hasn't been getting done in a timely manner. The community has lots of activities planned for the residents to engage with. They are very accommodating with requests and trying to rectify the family's concerns and questions. The staff is very nice and the community is clean. The food is very good and that my loved one enjoys, and there are three meals served a day.

Wellshire of Morton Grove is a small and intimate community that takes pride in providing the best care for their residents. Wellshire is affiliated with many other buildings and is a perfect way to have continuum of care. The thing that makes Wellshire stand out more would be their all-inclusive rates, this allows for residents and families to financially plan their future.

We're very happy with The Wellshire Morton Grove. The administration, the staff, the nursing; we're pleased with everything on every level. Most importantly, my mother-in-law is loving the place. She likes everything about it, the food and the people. She also just discovered that they have a cage of birds, she's very pleased. If they don't have something, she can ask for it and they will give her treats to take back to her fridge after meals. I would tell others: see it for yourself, and hopefully you will agree with our high opinion. The highest praise comes from the woman who is residing there. Every time we talk to her, she tells us how much she loves it. Thank goodness A Place for Mom recommended The Wellshire!

The facility is very nice, but it was not the right level of care for our loved one so we had to hire on a caregiver to come in. I talked to the residents while I was here and the people I talked to said they really liked it which was nice to hear. I would highly recommend them for assisted living.

Very responsive to my call and for a virtual tour. However, room wasn't as large as I thought. Price was in budget but room size wasn't.

Extremely dated. Saunders furniture for microwave/mini fridge. No toaster ovens in unit. Small place, only about 45 residents. Many of whom leave their door open on the first floor as you walk in. NASTY! For the price they're asking, they're certified nuts!

37 out of 50 stars. [Name removed] was very nice, welcoming, and answered all our questions. The facility is fresh in that it’s only eight years old. However, it had a stale, “funeral home-y” smell throughout. One interesting aspect is that the pricing is all inclusive for all levels of assistance living. You tell them what you need, and they provide it – no nickel and dime-ing or up charges. This is even if your needs change from day to day, week to week, or year to year. They did not seem to have a large number of caregivers. However, [name removed] stated that the average wait time for a service was less than five minutes. This could be because the maximum capacity is around 45 residences and they have only about 33 to 34 residents currently. The residents seem very lethargic. While a pleasant environment indeed, it was not energizing or invigorating in any way. It’s not a good fit for someone who is intellectually vibrant.

My mother is doing well here in this community. I do feel she is in good hands, and safe. They have a lovely staff, and they have been great to work with. They are taking great care of her, and needs. The experience is going very well, and this is a community I would recommend to my friends.

This place looks good. The lobby is attractive giving the look of a boutique hotel. The rooms are a good size allowing for things from home to decorate the space. Unfortunately, they don't have enough staff to take care of the residents. There are no staffing guidelines for Assisted Living so they hide behind that fact. Wait times for help are unusually long. The activities are boring and repetitive. The food has fancy names but they serve the same things over and over again. They use lots of canned fruit and frozen vegetables. With a little work this could be a great place. They have a new director. The jury is out.

I had a tour and I saw a clean community and good staff who appeared to know what they were doing for the residents. Overall they were too much money for me and not very convenient location.

I toured The Wellshire, and I think it used to be under a different name. We had someone that we knew that used to stay there years ago and did not have a good experience. I think that might have had an impact on our decision, but also, it was an older place. I'm sure everything is fine, but you know when you wonder into a place and just get a certain feel for it? The people were all very friendly and it was a good tour, but just not what we were looking for.

They had the most activities and flexibility. They were more expensive for the extra health care expense. It is a large facility with tons of activities. they pride themselves of activities and I felt they had different arrangements for activities. The tour was very good and provided another tour for my family members.

closer to a nursing home than assisted living. environment a bit dreary, not a lot of residents out and about, but seems like they provide good care and a very good value for the money. not lively and lovely enough for my mom.

It's very quiet in the community everyone is friendly and caring. I have visited my father during meal time and the food looks good he has not complained about it. There are very few activities offered. His room and the whole community are neatly organized. One thing i like is the great communication from the nurses it really helps to know that if something happens they will get in direct contact.

My mother seems to be doing very well at Terrace Gardens Assisted Living. We live fairly close by and stop in a few times a week. She really likes the food. They include her in the activities and such as much as she wants to be included. They have good nurses on staff to provide the medication and treatment for her. I needed her at a place where I knew would be cared for and happy, and that has happened. They have been very good in every way.

They are okay so far. We don't have any major complaints at this time. We chose them over some of the other communities we considered, because they seemed to be a better value. They were more reasonably priced.

Everything is really good. They are so nice and accommodating. They are also helpful and take good care of their residents. My overall rating of the Terrace Gardens Assisted Living is 4 1/2 Stars. They are very friendly here so I rated the friendliness 5 stars. Everything has been working out well here. I am glad we made this selection. This is a great assisted living community that we are very pleased with.
