Review for The Sheridan at River Forest
The care staff does seem to care. The administrative staff can sometimes be hard to reach. It is a beautiful facility and I think it would be hard to find a perfect facility. I would recommend it.

Our Experience
Overall I feel that my mom is at a good place and I feel comfortable that they are handling her daily needs. I do think that they need to expand their programming to include much more physical activity and specialty programs for the memory care residents that are higher functioning. It is definitely a systemic issue. Unfortunately, eldercare is a bottom line business.

Our experience
The care is very good. My biggest frustration is that whenever I have questions or need to know something, I find if very difficult to get a hold of anyone. If I call and leave a message or email them, I never get a response. They need to have more interactive activities and encourage the residents to get to know one another.

The Sheridan at River Forest review
The staff members at the community are so friendly that we would give them 10 stars. We brought a friend with us one day to visit our loved one and she liked it so much that she said when the time comes she would like to move in there and that was huge for us. We do think it is a very valuable cost and based on the experience we would recommend them to other families. Even though he has not participated in the activities yet from what we have seen they look phenomenal and the staff had put in all their efforts to really encourage him to get involved. He does say the food is really good as well.

Highly Successful Choice in a Difficult Decision
This has been a wonderful experience. I cannot say enough about it, it is wonderful. The staff have been helpful, thoughtful, and caring towards my loved one. My loved one is thriving since being in the community. The staff communication with the family is thoughtful, kind, friendly, and respectful. They know my loved one by name. You can tell the staff really love the residents because they are well groomed, clean, and vibrant. There are three meals a day, and healthy and mindful choices for the residents to choose from. Games, movies, art room, and more are some of the activities offered to the residents to participate in.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Illinois regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored The Sheridan at River Forest 7.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
