Gurnee place has been amazing! I moved my dad there a few weeks ago and he’s been more engaged in activities and talking with people more than he has in the last 2 years. The staff is so kind and caring to him and so helpful to me. I’m so glad we found each other.

I have been able to visit residents and see first hand the attention to detail the staff has to make sure everyone is safe and supported. The admin is very easy to get ahold of and chat about care for your family & friends. Pam, Gabby, and Alison are all phenomenal and are a great place to start if you are looking for care for your loved ones!
