Smooth transition

So far I would give all 5s. We have been very impressed so far.she has only been there one month but all good so far. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Anything we have needed they have been there to help. We also got off the waitlist for a bigger unit quicker than expected and they have been great with the transition,etc.

Review for Trulee Evanston

It's best to be very hands on if people need support in the community. Many things go unattended unless family is engaged. I would recommend, for a nice environment with fine support but better if the family is available to be asking questions and ensuring follow through.

Hidden Gem

The staff is exemplary. Evanston it self is a vibrant, diverse community and our building is located two blocks from downtown. Transit to Chicago by either CTA or the commuter rail line called Metra is three blocks away. The meals are varied and you pick from a different menu each day. Finally, our fellow residents are very accomplished individuals with a wide array of accomplishments.

Response from the community

Attentive care

We are still having financial issues with reimbursement after my parent has been dead for 11 months. The business office is in complete disarray. Kind and caring, attentive, and really got to know my father even though he was only there 3 months

Positives' and negatives

I think staff overall are good, but stretched thin which is everywhere. Very attractive facility. Love that dining is open for residents from 7am - 7pm -- avoids a rush. Administrators are slow to respond which creates angst.

Nice Place | Hard to get consistent info

Moved mother-in-law in January. Staff are friendly on the surface. Not sure if we asked more questions than others, but we found slow responses and/or conflicting information from a range of staff. She's been in for 1 month. During this time, Trulee had an unfortunate stubborn GI virus that had the facility in lockdown for a couple of weeks. Mother-in-law also transitioned from independent to assisted living (we anticipated this switch - yet did not think it would happen within the first 2 weeks). Many moving parts
