Jaybird Senior Living

Emery Place is a lovely facility with a wonderful staff, and our father is content after having lived here for the past two years. Our family would highly recommend this facility. If and when the time comes that you are needing assistance with your loved one, it is a "wonderful home away from home."

[name removed] was warm and welcoming, as was the facility. The residents we encountered were happy and chatty. It was like being in a 5 star hotel - plenty of amenities, pleasant atmosphere and roomy apartments.

My mother found her assisted living experience at Prairie Meadows great. The staff gave my mother excellent care and was very responsive to her needs. The compassionate and skilled care she received was accomplished during the height of the COVID pandemic.

I'm very happy with the service we have received. The staff is very friendly and caring. I would recommend this community to others

Prairie Meadows has been doing a great job keeping everyone clean, healthy and safe. The staff members are wonderful, they are like extended family. The care services are excellent and they have become very creative by thinking of new activities for the residents. They rooms are very nice. They do keep us updated by emails letting us know when they tests the residents and staff members and when the test comes back negative. They have also partnered with other businesses to make sure the residents can receive gifts for the holiday.

This is a great place for your loved one. The community takes care of the residents. The staff is well trained and they answer any questions I have. They truly care about my mom. The food is great for my mom now.

It was a newer building and has a lot of rooms, the people were very friendly, and the price was reasonable. Our loved one has not complained about the food, I would have to give it a four out of five. We would recommend this community to a family or friend.

Peace of mind about my mom’s care is the greatest thing Milestone has provided.

My mother, [name removed], was a resident at Emery Place until her passing on [date removed]. The care she received was phenomenal. She lived in the Assisted Living apts. & enjoyed everything. She met many wonderful people also living there, and staff members as well. Having someone to come in and clean for you, and do your laundry! Wonderful!! She loved taking bus rides to parks or wherever. Just taking rides made her happy. The “Dare to Dream” program that Emery Place has, has a very special place in my heart. Why? Because my mother got to go up in a hot air balloon ride, and I was right there with her. Seeing the look on her face, and watching her as she looked around in awe brought tears to my eyes. I have Emery Place to thank for that!!! My mother is gone now, but I have soooo many wonderful memories of her living there. With Halloween approaching, I think back on her dressing up in costumes for their Halloween festivities. What a hoot!! Fun is what it’s all about! My only regret is that she didn’t have more time there!!

My parents were some of the initial residents at Emery Place moving in [date removed]. Mom lived in the Memory Care Unit and my dad moved into Assisted Living to be close to Mom. From day one, my parents were treated with compassion, respect and kindness. Even in my mom's last days, she received the utmost care. The employees constantly took the time to get to know my parents and their needs. Dad has continued to live at Emery for the pass three years and constantly tells me how comfortable and safe he feels there. Our family feels extremely lucky our parents moved into Emery Place five years ago and are grateful for the exceptional care they have received!

My parents began living at Emery Place 3 years ago. I have been impressed that the office staff and many caregivers have been there since their move in date!! This really helps build a family atmosphere in the community and allows the staff to really get to know each and every resident as a person. They know their histories and interests which made my parents feel special. In addition, during COVID they have went the extra mile to balance safety and fun. We participated in a car parade and they had several theme days where the staff worked in costumes to bring joy to the residents. But my personal favorite has been the patio visits over the last several months ?? Emery has been a blessing for our family.

Mom moved into Emery almost 5 years ago, already. She's 92, and has been very comfortable calling Emery her home. She loves the "independence" of having her own apartment, and is able to interact with others at her choosing, or just be cozy inside reading her daily newspaper. The care she has received is top notch, and the staff all very friendly and helpful to her, and to the family. I appreciate the fact they have kept her safe through all the pandemic the past 7 months as well. She enjoys mealtime and the fact she can have things custom made to her needs and wants if desired. I don't have to worry about her on a daily basis, because I know the expert and caring staff is there to watch over her when she needs something. Thanks Emery!

Our family chose Emery Place for both of our parents as we wanted to keep them together. It was the perfect fit and they certainly got all the attention that they needed and also helped the family transition us all during this difficult decision and change is all of our lives. They tended to each of their individual needs with respect and caring. After my father passed my mother moved to the memory care section on their advice ,again a difficult thing to face but they made it a wonderful experience. The small size and one level made it so easy for everyone. That part really appealed to us. Our family was apart of the Emery family for 3 and a half years and we could not have asked for a better place . We appreciate everyone and everything they do at Emery Place.

Emery Place has been a blessing especially during the Covid Pademic. We are so pleased with the care our father receives. They go the extra mile to make sure he is happy and healthy. HIGHLY recommend this facility!

Despite all the challenges of 2020, Emery Place continues to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for seniors. The staff is always helpful and caring and finds ways to keep residents active and happy. I can't think of a better place for my mom.

Don't be put off by the distance, it is a really nice place, for me it was worth the drive. The room sizes are nice, and the layout of the community is good. My mom was in memory care. My mom liked the food. They have secured outdoor space for memory care residents.

My mother has lived at River Glen in St. Charles for the past 3-1/2 years and she has always had excellent care. When the pandemic began, River Glen’s response was immediate! They have gone above and beyond CDC regulations to keep their staff and residents healthy, to attend to the emotional needs of their residents, and to keep the families of the residents informed. My mother and my family are so grateful for all the staff members at River Glen; we could never thank them enough during this difficult time in our country.

My sister comments regularly on how very helpful the staff members are. Several going out of their way doing thoughtful small things for her that surprise and delight her. She has expressed a desire for more food served as dinner. It is often more like a snack and dinner is late afternoon. There is an emphasis on sweet desserts which she doesn’t feel is healthy for her. Others really enjoy the desserts. Special care because of Covid has been very well done.

River Glen has exceeded our expectations. My Mom reluctantly moved to River Glen from her own apartment almost 4 years ago, after a head injury. She now considers RG home and feels very safe there. We both love that her apt. is cleaned every week, sheets are washed, and then put back on the bed. I do her towels & personal clothing, but RG also offers that service. I only live 10 miles away, so the back & forth is easy. I’ve made it a point to spend lots of time at RG over the past 4 years. Prior to covid19, I knew most all of the staff, many other family members, & some therapists. The staff and therapists are professional and very approachable. I’ve met so many family members at RG. It is very nice having others around who understand. Yes, RG is expensive for my Mom. My thought initially was quality or quantity. I’m so glad she agreed that RG was the right place for her. I know we made the best choice for her. So far, my Mom has needed minimal care at RG. The care she does receive has allowed me to once again be a daughter and not a caretaker. I think RG does a good job with activities, especially these days. I commend them for working so hard to keep residents interested and engaged. My Mom loves the brain games & rediscovered exercise since joining a chair exercise group at RG. Not bad at 88 to feel safe & get moving again. I feel blessed to be part of the River Glen family.

I am very happy with Milestone Senior Living. Location is great, it has a country setting. The food is great. The staff is great. Residents are happy. I am so glad my mom is there. My dad passed away while living there and they were so helpful and kind.
