Aside from the price, he really enjoys it there and is thriving. I would definitely recommend them to others who are searching for a place for their loved one! It's a great central place so he is still involved in all of our family events. Walking distance to some really cool things. Wonde

Great communication
The communication has been excellent. My mother n law loves the cleaning and the fact that they change the sheets. She says when they don't like what they are having for dinner, the staff fixes them whatever they want. Hamburger or grill cheese. So far they have not complained to us.

Review for Grand Victorian of Sycamore
Getting in/sales was a good experience; however, there was no orientation and settling in has been difficult to navigate; the cost is high: facilities are nice but food is institutional, service isn't always consistent; the price has increased in the 6 months we've been there.

Love This Place!
The friendliness and helpfulness of staff. My Mom loves the outdoor courtyard area that has plenty of chairs, tables, small path for walking & veggie/flower gardens. She also loves the Bistro that has an automatic hot cocoa/coffee/cappuccino machine. They make residents feel as independent as they want. Love the 24 hour nursing staff just in case my mom needs it. The staff knows the residents names. When my mom isn't feeling well they'll bring her meals to her room which is great. I feel so confident that she's being taken care of and not neglected.

Review for Grand Victorian of Sycamore
Mom was busy from the time she left her apartment for breakfast until she returned after dinner. I FaceTimed my mom after dinner every day so I got to speak with the nurse on duty when mom received her meds. All the staff was very attentive to her needs. I would totally recommend this facility.

Strongly recommend-very accommodating!
They are SUPER accommodating. My father had only two challenges in his entire time there: when the nursing staff was short staffed (fixed but it did take some time), and showers were freezing (as in literally no hot or even warm water). I strongly recommend this place--but I also strongly recommend that the resident's advocate takes a shower in their bathroom *before* expecting their elderly loved one to. After my father died and I was cleaning out his room, I took a shower and was really shocked and saddened to realize it was actually freezing. I never believed him.

My mom is currently in the Grand Vic in Sycamore. It is awesome. More like a resort than an assisted living facility. Beautiful! Friendly! Safe! Good food!! Fun activities! If I didn't have a husband and a 5 acre yard to care for....I would be there!!!

Mom has lived here over 2 1/2 years. She could no longer be left alone but did not go happily. Current staff are very good and kind. (loved receptionist!) Biggest complaint continues to be bad meals. Most all meals are not to her liking. Burnt toast, hard meat, and vegetables in general.

Comfort for mom!
My mother is doing well since her move into Grand Victorian of sycamore. She has started to join activities and get more involved. They could use some improvement on meals, though. They serve sandwiches for dinner, I think they could do better. The facility is clean and well maintained. Housekeeping cleans her room once a week.

Couldn't Be Happier!!
I highly recommend the Grand Victorian of Sycamore to a friend because it is an amazing place to live in. The staff is wonderful. The community is maintained very clean at all times and anytime I have an issue in my room that needs to be fixed, they are quick to respond, tom the head of maintenance is great. They told me that soon they will be putting new carpet in all of the rooms which is wonderful. The meals are good, could be better. My favorite part of the meals is breakfast, they let us order whatever we want. The community offers a variety of activities such as crafts, bowling on the Wii, and a pool table in the activity room. They also have a library which is a great addition. The room I am in is a good size, I have my own bathroom that is handy cap accessible, my own fridge, plenty of cupboards and my own coffee maker. I am very happy living in this community.

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.
