Affordable assisted living
reviewed on: 09/10/2013 by Wayne LI have had a positive experience with Bethany since placing my Mom here last January. The staff is friendly and helpful. Also, there are plenty of activities, many that my Mom participates in. Overall I am very happy as my Mom has improved greatly since living here.
Review of Bethany Retirement Community - Chicago, IL
reviewed on: 02/23/2016 by AnonymousMany open community rooms very nice staff clean and inviting. Actual resident rooms outdated but reasonably priced
Excellent Location
reviewed on: 06/18/2020 by AnonymousThey have new owners. The place is nice. The environment is nice. But it needs some updating. The new administration does not help the residents. The activities are not for independent living. It is a transition right now. They have some remodeling planned. It is an excellent location. They do have transportation.
Mom is extremely happy and doing much better
reviewed on: 09/10/2013 by JohnWe're very happy there, the cleanliness is good, don't get the wrong idea, it's just an old building, but it's good. The staff is really, really friendly, really nice, the care seems to be excellent, my mother is really happy there and she's actually doing better since she's been there. She's doing activities, she's engaged there. The value... we didn't expect to find a place that's close to us, that she likes that much and that she can afford. The food, that's another one, She says it's great but I'm not sure, but she's happy with it, her only complaint is that they give her too much.
My mother is very pleased with the services.
