    Review

    The Victory Centre of Park Forest is a senior living community that has received mixed reviews from residents and their families. While some have been satisfied with the cleanliness, safety, and overall atmosphere of the community, others have raised concerns about management and certain amenities.

    One particular issue that was brought up by a resident was the presence of unlisted individuals living with the residents. This person expressed concern that this practice may be illegal and a violation of the lease. They stated that they would not want their family living in an environment where anyone off the streets could come and stay indefinitely. It is important to note that having unlisted individuals staying with residents can raise security and safety concerns for both residents and staff members.

    Another reviewer mentioned experiencing management issues at the Victory Centre of Park Forest. They felt that the management did not possess adequate knowledge or skills for their role. Additionally, there were reports of roach infestations in some areas of the community, which is understandably troubling for residents who value cleanliness and hygiene.

    On a more positive note, another individual toured the community and found it visually appealing. However, they had reservations about the move-in process, describing it as lengthy, and felt that the staff seemed unwilling to accommodate their needs once they learned that Medicaid would be involved. It is disappointing when potential residents feel like they are being dismissed or treated differently based on financial circumstances.

    Despite these challenges, one family member mentioned that their loved one has experienced improvements since moving to Victory Centre. Although there were initial difficulties with mobility assistance, which required intervention from a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), steps were taken to address this concern promptly. The resident also expressed satisfaction with other aspects such as cleanliness, friendliness of staff members, pleasant dining experiences, and a convenient on-site church.

    However, not all reviewers shared this positive sentiment. One person observed overcrowding during their visit to Victory Centre of Park Forest. They noted that the dining room was small and encountered several individuals lingering in the hallways. This made them uneasy about exploring the resident rooms, contributing to a negative first impression of the community.

    In conclusion, the reviews for Victory Centre of Park Forest highlight a range of experiences and opinions regarding various aspects of the community. While some reviewers have had positive encounters with cleanliness, meals, and general friendliness, others have raised concerns about management efficiency, potential lease violations, and overcrowding. These insights can help individuals considering senior living options make informed decisions based on their preferences and priorities.
