    Review

    The Springs of Vernon Hills has left a lasting impression on those who have visited or utilized its services. One aspect that stood out to reviewers was the physical facility itself. With its well-maintained appearance and inviting atmosphere, it provided a pleasant environment for residents. The staff at The Springs also received high praise, as they demonstrated a remarkable level of care and compassion, particularly in their approach to memory care.

    However, one concern expressed by a reviewer was the lack of private bathrooms in every room. They specifically mentioned their friend's distress at the thought of sharing a bathroom, which could be unsettling for someone with dementia. While some rooms were on the smaller side, those with shared bathrooms were not as highly regarded. Nevertheless, the dining area received compliments for its lovely ambiance.

    At The Springs of Vernon Hills, residents had the opportunity to engage in various activities, including cooking sessions and TV viewing. Additionally, there were dedicated spaces for relaxation and pampering, such as a beautiful spa room equipped with massage therapy chairs and aromatherapy options. For male residents, there was a designated area featuring a large fireplace.

    One reviewer emphasized that their friend did not exhibit signs of agitation or attempts to wander off from her current location. They expressed concerns regarding the limited separation between individuals with mild to moderate dementia and those who posed flight risks or potentially combative behavior.

    In terms of respite care services provided by The Springs, families were extremely pleased with the care their loved ones received during their stay. Activities such as hair styling and nail polishing were offered along with regular meals and snacks throughout the day. Safety measures were also taken into account; while residents had access to an adjoining bathroom that accommodated mobility aids like walkers, supervision was required during showers.

    The overall experience at The Springs of Vernon Hills was described as exceptional by another reviewer. They highlighted the appealing rooms with open windows and commended the knowledgeable and caring staff members.

    In conclusion, The Springs of Vernon Hills has garnered positive feedback for its physical facility, attentive staff, and dedicated memory care unit. While concerns were raised about the shared bathroom arrangements and potential lack of separation between individuals with varying levels of dementia, the respite care services received high praise. Families appreciated the range of activities available to residents as well as the emphasis on safety and personalized care.
