    Review

    Victory Centre is a senior living community located in the Oak Park area that seems to have a high level of competency according to reviews. As the world gradually opens up, it is expected that Victory Centre will also expand its activities and schedule off-campus events for its residents. The location itself is convenient, with a veterinarian clinic situated across the street, making it easier for pet owners to take care of their furry companions.

    The overall impression of Victory Centre is positive, with reviewers noting the cleanliness and organization of the facility. When dropping off food or attending appointments for their loved ones, visitors have observed a well-maintained environment. Additionally, there are two key contacts at Victory Centre - the director and the liaison - who have received praise for their exceptional service and willingness to provide information.

    However, some miscommunications have occurred between reviewers and the nursing staff. It has been challenging to reach nurses promptly, leading to delays in communication. Although this issue was initially problematic, there seems to be improvement over time. It would be beneficial if this aspect could be more efficient for better overall satisfaction among residents and their families.

    One area that could use improvement is the food provided at Victory Centre. While certain items like soup and eggs are deemed good by reviewers, there are mixed opinions regarding the main courses. It might be worth exploring more options or seeking feedback from residents to ensure a wider variety of palatable meals.

    Due to Covid restrictions, there haven't been many activities available for residents recently. However, reviewers are optimistic as restrictions ease and more opportunities arise for engagement within the community. Reviewers were encouraged by the schedules they were shown before Covid hit, indicating an array of activities that catered to various interests.

    Lastly, one reviewer mentions how comfortable their grandmother feels within this community. The personalized attention she receives as staff members address her by name has made her feel valued and cared for. In addition to this individualized treatment, Victory Centre offers a diverse range of food choices that allow residents to select meals according to their preferences.

    In conclusion, Victory Centre appears to be a competent and clean senior living community. With the world gradually reopening, it is expected that activities and off-campus events will resume, offering residents more opportunities for engagement. While there have been some miscommunications with the nursing staff and room for improvement in the food department, overall satisfaction seems high. The comfort that residents experience and the personalized attention they receive are notable strengths of this community. As Victory Centre adapts to changing circumstances, it has the potential to provide an even better living experience for its residents.
