Transforming Age

My Mom utilizes the beautiful walking trails every day. Apartments are very spacious and the facility has multiple wonderful spots to sit and visit or read. I am very happy we chose The Rivers for my Mom.

Really like this place. Appears to have roomy apartments and a lot of amenities. Would move here if price is reasonable. Contacted. Price is $1500 to $2000 per months for the 2 BR. Would like The Oak. The Oak is $1900 a month plus garage and meals are NOT included. Way to high.

I am thrilled we found this senior apartment for mom. Everyone there; staff and residents, are so very nice. The apartments are very quiet, there are many activities to partake in, and the chef has been excellent and very accommodating to mom's gluten free and diary free diet. She is very happy we found this new home for her !!

i moved in on 7/6/16. My new home is on the third floor via the elevator and a back view which I don't mind. My home is quiet which I do want. Moving makes for walking a lot which I don't mind too much. Exercise is always good. Residents are very friendly and say hello to you. Looking forward to doing activities. Can take shopping van with group or go shopping alone. Very friendly staff. Very exceptional place to live I think for what I am looking for. Price is in my budget. Calendar is at table by each elevator that has month's activities and you look under your apartment numer for correspondence from office. Large bulletin board lists everything going on with other ads for Seniors. Great place to live and many activities.

We reviewed numerous senior living apartments in the NW suburban area to assess the amenities and visited many that we had reviewed. We wanted to chose a place for Mom that not only offered great amenities, affordable care and comfortable living space but more importantly to us, a loving and caring staff. We know that those who work in the senior care industry are very special people who not only are doing their jobs but they all really care for the seniors entrusted to their care. We found that the staff at Tradition seemed to be above the rest! As a family, we all felt that there was something extra special about the Tradition staff and the care and concern that we observed during our visits from ALL staff members. Our Mom enjoyed living there, felt safe and liked everyone there. The food is exceptional! The dining room staff treated their guests as you would expect at a top rated restaurant. Our family only has wonderful things to say about Tradition! We highly reccommend it for any senior.

The staff at Tradition is excellent - in fact, I always wonder where they find such good ones. The apartments are very adequate. Perhaps we could get fewer options at dinner and have the price more reasonable. The meals are very good. I have been here three years and hope to stay a while longer.

This is a very good community and my mother is finally getting adjusted to it. The community looks great, everything is nice and clean. My mother has a small dog, so they do allow small pets. The staff has been great, they are very helpful and kind. When we first move into the community everyone came and introduced themselves. The meals are very nice and she has made some new friends, that was important to me. I would highly recommend this community because it is small and not so overwhelming.

We've had a very positive experience so far with Waterford Manor. The facility is clean and well kept, and all of the staff I've met have been very friendly and professional. My loved one is in their memory care unit, and I've been particularly impressed with the activities program. The activities director does a great job keeping everyone engaged and entertained!

My husband and I moved into the Waterford a couple of months ago and although it's taken some getting used to it's been a great experience so far. The staff are nice and friendly and beyond helpful. The place is very clean and the food is good! I would definitely recommend!

We're very pleased with how things have turned out with Waterford Manor! It's a clean, nice looking community, and everyone seems very friendly! My only complaint is that there has been a bit of a learning curve in terms of knowing who to contact regarding specific issues, which I feel they could clear up with some sort of orientation packet. But otherwise we're very happy with the place!

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. We ended up selecting another community, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option for my loved one.

I work in the Healthcare industry and have had the pleasure of working with residents at Tradition. The entire staff cares so deeply for their residents and it shows. From the time they move in they are treated like family. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for senior housing.

Waterford Manor has a marvelous staff who are friendly and helpful. They also provide transportation to local stores and church.

I toured several facilities and found The Waterford to be a wonderful place. The staff and people there were very helpful and friendly. The are lots of activities for residents. Convenient transportation to church, grocery store etc. are provided. The apartments are older but nice and maintained. Sidewalks are ice free and parking facilities are cleaned. The are nice courtyards and places to walk when it is nice outside. The staff is courteous and very caring.

I recently moved my mom into The Heathers Estates. The place seems to have a vibrant, positive community of residents. The staff, Judy and Ann, have gone above and beyond to not only help with the transition, but make my mom feel at home. I have complete peace of mind knowing she is there. I'm grateful for places like this.

I really liked the homey feel of this place. The minute I walked in I felt welcomed. It smelled good and there were lots of happy people and activities going on in the lobby. Mom really likes the small aviary where she can come and see the birds every day. Nice, spacious apartments with lots of natural lighting.

I would rate this community as great in all aspects. Each of the goes out of their way to be there for us at every turn. They encourage us to enter into as many of the activities as we can in order to create a family atmosphere for all residents. The dining room serves wonderful meals, including white table cloths and napkins. The wait staff is coached to treat us all with a smile and a great attitude that they are pleased to serve us. ALL areas are kept neat and clean at all times. ALL our needs are met with a smile and often times a hug! The Christmas season has been a lot of fun. They have activities scheduled for each day with choirs from the area coming to sing for us and with us, fun! The Christmas Holiday Gala was fabulous. Starting at 4pm with favors and wine while greeting each other with a Happy Christmas Hug. The evening continued with a special dinner of Beef Wellington and all the trimmings - serenaded with Choir Music and continuing with a Gospel Choir sing along. Fantastic. There are Christmas decorations at every turn including decorated Christmas trees. We also had an evening "Lite up the Nite" starting at 7pm. Glorious nite with stars shining and a church choir singing and then all the outside was lite-up with lites on the trees and portico's and gazeebo. Followed by hot chocolate and cider with Christmas cookies. This is the way for seniors to live! Bless us all.

It's an older place, which means it's affordable. My mom is in an apartment here and it's great.

After 30 years in a 5 level townhome I lost my wife of 58 years. The townhome was too big and my family and I decided to downsize. My daughter in law and I visited about 8 locations to find a new location for me. The whole family and I were impressed with Tradition from our first looks. We are really pleased with my choices, as the staff and facility are better than I could have looked for. I have recommended it to several people. The meals are great.

Everyone at The Rivers is very nice and very sociable. All of the staff members and residents are just great people to work with and to have dealings with. They do seem to be a little bit understaffed however.
