Villa St. Benedict Reviews

I am at the end of the most important thing is that

Beautiful grounds. Still not ready even though I qualify. Hope the kids are saving their pennys.

My grandmother lives here. Excellent staff and property.

My mother, who is 85 years old, was diagnosed with dementia of 2019. She lived by herself at her home until she forgot she was running water for a bath. It was at that point, that my brothers and even my mom said she couldn't live by herself anymore. Normally people are very reluctant to move into an assisted facility, but my mom actually picked this place out about a year ago. Getting her in during Covid was not easy, but Phyllis Kramer worked with us non stop for several days, finding an apartment for her. There were many covid related things we needed to get done, and afterwards she got in.

I must say that my mother is so happy she chose VSB as her memory care facility. My brothers and i also have definite peace of mind knowing my mom is getting the absolute best care. From the paperwork that needed to be done, to the move in everything went smoothly. My mother loves the food here as well. She's actually put on a few pounds. The nursing staff & the CNA's are top notch. They do above & beyond. They're also doing a great job with their Covid rules.

Everyday the residents get a calendar of events for the day, and my mom is gone all day trying new things, walking the grounds which are amazing, and sounds so happy when we speak with her. She's a whole new person. We have bi monthly meetings with a member from each department to discuss how my mom is, and her progression with the disease.

I no longer have to worry about her non stop, and we're so very grateful for everyone at VSB.

Retirement community with a friendly Benedictine spirit, sponsored by the Benedictine Sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery in Lisle, IL.

Great senior living. Independent and assisted living. Medical care access available

Excellent place to care for aging relatives. Beautifully designed, superior food, wide range of services available on premises. ( Physician office hours, beauty and barber care, multiple dining opportunities, library, full range of activities, transportation, and a bank and ATM.) Excellent security, the Concierge staff are exceptionally helpful.

Quiet, beautiful campus with lovely views, and well designed programs to make your loved ones feel welcome.

The only critiques are that there's great competition to get in, and there may not be room in Assisted Living or Memory Care when that becomes appropriate, and the elevators on the Independent living side are a bit on the slow side.

I was told by an administrator that the residents in Independent Living are not allowed to leave their apartments for any reason unless they go to a scheduled activity. The communication is lacking. When a family member moved in, the person was told the entire building was theirs and the resident liked to walk. It is too cold in our climate to walk outside in the winter. The nurse told me the resident was "wandering around the building." I didn't realize the policy had changed. The furnishings are beautiful but there doesn't seem to be a lot of engagement. I looked at Assisted Living there and only four residents were engaged. The rest were in their rooms. It's not the right place for everyone and the communication is sorely lacking, even about medicines to be given to the residents. Many many staff members were very caring but it's not the place of choice for everyone.

It is a great place for the elderly and they treat them so well and have a lot of activities for them.The food they are served is great.They have a beautiful chapel where Mass is said every day..The apt are real nice for the elderly

The Benedictine Sisters are loving and caring. Very clean and manicured buildings and grounds.

A fantastic well kept retirement center. Highly recommended. Nice people

My dad had happy years at Villa St. Benedict! The staff greeted all of us with smiles and ready to help. The grounds are gorgeous too! This is a wonderful place and I highly recommend Villa St. Benedict!!

The Sisters provide excellent, compassionate care to the residents. A wonderful facility

This is a beautiful place with wonderful people. My mother-in-law loves it there. And they have done a great job keeping everyone healthy and safe during the pandemic.
