I love, love, love living here at Mayslake Village. 3 years ago I left my home and abusive husband to come live at Mayslake Village, Wings II building. I am so very happy I did. Very clean, quiet and safe. I have met so many wonderful people here. And the staff is fantastic. They are extremely caring people, that truly care about the people who live here. Joe S. who runs it is an extraordinary young man who looks out for are best interest and truly cares about the people. We have a diningroom that serves delicious food, variety of groceries and the nicest people working there. Mayslake offers all sort of free programs and activities that better our lives and so much more. Maylake is truly a great place to live. I am so very happy I came here. And my 2 cats love it here too.

Mayslake is a wonderful place to call home, especially for seniors on a fixed income. My grandma lives there and absolutely loves the Community and building!! I recently visited her and was so impressed with the cleanliness of the buildings! The hallways smell fresh and the grounds are very well kept!! Also, everyone that we encountered while she was touring me through the buildings were very friendly and personable! For those on a fixed income the rent is very reasonable and there are many activities for the residents to attend! Great job to the staff and cleaning crew for doing such a great job and keeping my 91 yr. old grandma happy in her golden years! 👏👏👏
