The facility is lovely and the people in the memory care seemed clean/taken care of, but the way they were spoken to was not respectful. Our tour guide just walked into a double suite to show us the space and quickly said that we were looking at the room to the current resident in the adjacent suite, but he clearly did not hear or understand and became a bit annoyed. He asked what we were doing to clarify, and the tour guide said, “We are just looking. They may be interested,” very loudly and walked out kind of giving a face with regards to his reaction. I’m not sure why she didn’t more clearly talk to him and introduce us. I know all the residents have memory issues, but they are still humans worthy of respect. The rest of the tour was fast—the tour guide did not interact with any residents, indicating she didn’t know them or didn’t care. The residents were mostly just sitting around staring at a TV. Overall, there was no quality of life here, just quality of physical space.

The building, location, food and apartment all easily deserve possibly a higher rating. The staff we've met so far has been attentive and engaged. Our Aunt is still integrating into their routine and all seems to be going smoothly.

Review for The Sheridan at River Forest

Day & afternoon staff are a 5 they work well and speak well with residents and some even go above & beyond. Nurses on Day & afternoons are great. Nights need an extra hand a rover that can go to both floors if needed. The night staff may be assisting someone a little longer which leaves another resident waiting extra long time. Food is good and many activities for residents.

STAY AWAY!!!!!!

The memory care is set up for failure. There are too many residents to maintain a calm environment. Nursing staff is a major issue and there is no continuity of care. I do not recommend - I moved mom out after 1 year & 3 hospitalizations. ( 1 due to not giving mom her medications for Alzheimer's. The food needs to be geared more towards freshness which is helpful for dementia. The bottom line - this place is all about the bottom line. (Not about the residents )

Sheridan at River Forest

They over promise on staff assistance. I had to hire a private aide to make sure my dad is taken care of. Have had issues with sheets not being changed when needed. Room cleanliness is an issue. I'm disappointed at lack of activities. Giving the facility another month to get their act together or I am moving him. They are having difficulty keeping staff so there is a great deal of turnover. I know they are working at fixing it but for what I pay I won't wait forever.

Our Experience

Overall I feel that my mom is at a good place and I feel comfortable that they are handling her daily needs. I do think that they need to expand their programming to include much more physical activity and specialty programs for the memory care residents that are higher functioning. It is definitely a systemic issue. Unfortunately, eldercare is a bottom line business.

Our experience

The care is very good. My biggest frustration is that whenever I have questions or need to know something, I find if very difficult to get a hold of anyone. If I call and leave a message or email them, I never get a response. They need to have more interactive activities and encourage the residents to get to know one another.

The Sheridan at River Forest review

The staff members at the community are so friendly that we would give them 10 stars. We brought a friend with us one day to visit our loved one and she liked it so much that she said when the time comes she would like to move in there and that was huge for us. We do think it is a very valuable cost and based on the experience we would recommend them to other families. Even though he has not participated in the activities yet from what we have seen they look phenomenal and the staff had put in all their efforts to really encourage him to get involved. He does say the food is really good as well.

Highly Successful Choice in a Difficult Decision

This has been a wonderful experience. I cannot say enough about it, it is wonderful. The staff have been helpful, thoughtful, and caring towards my loved one. My loved one is thriving since being in the community. The staff communication with the family is thoughtful, kind, friendly, and respectful. They know my loved one by name. You can tell the staff really love the residents because they are well groomed, clean, and vibrant. There are three meals a day, and healthy and mindful choices for the residents to choose from. Games, movies, art room, and more are some of the activities offered to the residents to participate in.

Seemed most residents were memory care and only saw about 20-30 residents during the tour. Great community overall.

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.
