Saratoga Grove Retirement

About the facility

Saratoga Grove is a Hill Valley Healthcare community, committed to providing quality senior living options to those entrusted to our care in Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana for over a century. Our organization offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing Care, and Post-Acute Rehabilitation Stays. We also offer short-term Respite Care, Home Healthcare, Private Duty, Hospice services, and Care Management. Our mission is to enhance the lives of those we serve in the name of Jesus Christ.

Hill Valley Healthcare & Rehabilitation Services of Downers Grove began providing skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services in 1984. Five years later, we added Saratoga Grove to the campus, which provides retirement living, assisted living, and memory care. In addition to the physical care available at Saratoga Grove, we offer programs that meet our residents' emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual needs. Saratoga Grove also benefits from the prayerful attention of a designated chaplain who provides spiritual, religious, and personal guidance to any residents, family members, and employees who desire it.

At Saratoga Grove, our Independent and Assisted Living philosophy includes a goal to allow a person to be as independent as they can be for as long as they can be. Every day at...

Review for Downers Grove Senior Living

It is a good place as long as your loved ones are mobile. However, if they are unable to do daily activities, it is not a good place. Food is horrible. They don't even provide water to the residents. Cleanliness is mediocre unless you go there twice a week and demand cleaning the room. When my loved one passed they stole his gold bracelet and watch.

Review for Saratoga Grove Retirement

My experience with Saratoga was extremely negative. I would NEVER recommend it. The sales pitch was very believable. Everyone seemed so kind and genuine. I was very honest re: the difficult personality of my loved one. They said they are trained for that. After a short time, it became clear that that was not true. The nursing staff and aides were tough, unkind, and inept. Medicine was frequently missed or given at wrong times. Laundry and cleaning not done. We were given a care plan and schedule, but no one seemed to follow it. When you complained, things got worse. The whole experience was incredibly stressful. I was worried 24/7. I could NEVER recommend Saratoga.

Caring place

5 across the board. However, they were just bought out by [community removed] and I don't know if any changes will be occurring. The staff is very responsive to questions or needs. The grounds around the facility are very pretty and well maintained. There are activities from chair exercise to game nights or happy hour every day of the week.

Food is average the nurses are not very friendly and do not answer the call alert when pressed most of the time.

[Name removed] is great and helpful.! [Name removed] is pretty good as well. The nursing staff is not very friendly and do not come when my mom pushes her call button on her pendant. The staff is on their phone while giving medications and does not have a good attitude when working with the residence. I would be very careful recommending this place to friends.

A wonderful place

When we were looking for a place for my grandmother, there were so many that it was confusing. We felt like other places were trying to sell us things we didn't need. Saratoga Grove made the process simple, and their pricing was easy to understand. My grandmother loves it there and has already made new friends. We have great peace of mind knowing she is in safe and comfortable place.

Saratoga Grove - Friendly, Boutique Size Community

Saratoga Grove, while a little dated, is very clean. And the staff is very friendly and attentive to the resident's needs. The move in process was very organized and there were no issues there. The meals are good, not great. My understanding is that they could stand to add a bit more variety and to increase certain portion sizes (both food and beverage). Overall, yes - I would recommend Saratoga Grove for people looking in this price point.

Accountability Absent Lacking Communication

High turnover of admin and "clinical" staff since sold July 2022. Chaos, poor record keeping, communication. Concerning observations of supervision and attentiveness to residents and families not welcomed (unless they get something out of it). Agency or staff must be a "YES" person to stay employed there. Lacking genuine compassion, kindness and accountability to residents and responsible parties. Profit appears to be the unstated mission. Safety and communication, follow through, training low level. Verify what you are told is actually true. Verify there are providers on call regularly if your loved one can't be taken out. Not the place with good reputation it once was. Search widely and carefully and check variety of references. Talk to others.

I didn't like the community. It felt very dark and gloomy. The atmosphere was not friendly. I didn't like everything being a gray color. The halls all dead ended. I didn't like the elevator. To be honest there was nothing I liked about it. It didn't help that we went to another community first which was so bright and inviting.

Do not go here!

I had to move my wife out of here quickly. In the memory care department if someone has a fit they send them away so that they can get more medication. The staff also did not know how to take care of my wife and her needs. We both just did not feel comfortable here at all. They even told me that I needed to pay another nurse to come in and take care of her. I felt that was what I'm paying you guys for. It was a bad experience to say the least.

very nice place while she was there

Saratogo Grove was a very nice place while she was there. The facility was expensive, which is the same every where I guess. I think it was pretty good. A couple of times we had to clean her room but overall the cleanliness was good. Overall it was a good experience considering the bad situation.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Illinois’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
