Overall Review of Symphony Of Buffalo Grove

differentiator 6 reviews mention this

In-house dialysis is a draw

In-house dialysis is a standout support residents and families mention repeatedly.

Several reviewers highlight dialysis as a key reason they chose the community, including cases involving specialized dialysis needs. Others single out dialysis as something handled in-house, with specific praise for the dialysis staff and attention during treatment. For families coordinating care alongside rehab or other medical needs, dialysis support is described as a major convenience and confidence builder.

Activities are a frequent source of positive engagement for residents.

Reviewers describe a steady mix of social events and scheduled activities, including games and exercise-oriented programming.

Even when care is the priority, families often connect daily life to what’s offered through the activities program.

Food quality draws mixed reviews

Dining quality is inconsistent, with some reviewers calling out cold or disappointing meals.

While many people mention good or adequate meals, a smaller group reports problems with food temperature or overall taste. One reviewer says the meals were terrible and that food needed to be replaced with outside options. Others describe cold food, including a report of cold meals being served.

Communication and call response vary

A few reviewers say they had trouble getting help when they called or rang for assistance, describing unattended call lights or long waits.
