Real Words from Real Families

Our residents and their families speak to the quality of care and community:​

"I'm happy that I am here. It is nice and clean. The food is very good. Our Activity Director is fun and loving and makes living here worthwhile." — Jerri B.

“My parents had been in a high quality senior care facility in Chicago, but after my father's death we wanted my mother to be closer to us. She suffered from a progressive dementia and needed care on virtually every level. We heard about Melody Living and decided to investigate. Our biggest concern was that we wanted her care to be as good as her former residence. Upon visiting the facility we found it to be a beautiful and functional design while emphasizing comfort and safety for the residents. After interviewing management and observing activities and daily life there, we decided to give it a try. On the very first day, we started to feel that we had made a good decision. That feeling grew stronger with each day thereafter. We realized that Melody Living was not simply as good as her former residence, it was measurably better. I visited my mother virtually every day and saw how the staff and management worked with her in the most caring fashion. She was not an easy case, as she had some behavioral difficulties related to her dementia. But rather than pushing the problems off on the family or ignoring the problems, management at Melody Living sought innovative approaches to solving or avoiding the problems and were ultimately successful. The result was a marked improvement in my mother's quality of life during her last months. During my daily visits in the 8 months of my mother's residence there was not a single incident which caused me concern and there were countless which which put me at ease regarding her care. I simply can not give high enough praise to this place. It is well managed from the top all the way down. — Eric P.
