The Moorings of Arlington Heights has a rehab center there, and that's where my husband was transferred from the hospital. He was there for five weeks and received very good care. The nurse practitioner there was excellent. She was great. She was very knowledgeable and worked with my husband to make sure that his meds were correct and taken at a particular time when he needed them. The certified nurse assistants were also great. Most of them were very well trained and knew what my husband needed help with. It was excellent. No complaints from them. The building was very pleasant and very nice. They have a bird sanctuary in the lobby that you can watch. It's a huge structure and very interesting to watch. Everybody was very friendly. When you walk in, you have to sign in, of course, but then that's for safety. They gave you a badge to wear. The physical therapy and occupational therapy area was excellent. It's very bright, and there's plenty of room to move around. It was a very pleasant place. My husband said that the food wasn't highly seasoned, but then you are making food for a big amount of people. He had several meals that he enjoyed. It's a varied menu. They come every day and ask you what you want for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And if you don't want any of the actual choices for that day, they offer sandwiches, burgers or hotdogs, soups or salads. I would recommend The Moorings of Arlington Heights. I met a lot of wonderful caregivers, nurses, and their assistants, and all were very accommodating and concerned about each of their patients. It was great.

My father is currently at The Moorings of Arlington Heights. I've been impressed with the people so far, especially compared to where he was at for rehab. They check on him perhaps more often than when he was in rehab. The director is accessible. The admissions person was very helpful. In general, the facility is gorgeous. It is nice. The dining room is great. They get a choice of meals. Just all around, we've been impressed. My father is in a one-bedroom, but they have a variety of rooms. With regard to activities, he's not participating, but there are a ton of them. I've seen the schedules and everything. There are a lot available. They have a library and a beauty salon. They have a lake with a walking path around it. We got to see the food my father got and the options that they have, and they're pretty impressive. For what you're getting for the cost, it's reasonable.

I visited The Moorings a couple of years ago before COVID hit. I was looking at it for my mother-in-law. I loved the grounds. I loved the fact that you could walk around, that they had gardens that you could work in. It was very open, and the residents just seemed quite comfortable, and that went for independent care and assisted. Mary really went out of her way to help us out, but knew all the residents, and would say hello or say this is a person that might be able to help you with that question, and connecting us to the community. The dining room was very comfortable, casual, but nice, and it looked like assigned seating. But I did not eat there, we just looked at it. It was definitely showing age in a few places, but overall kept very well, and it was clean. They have a bar that you can sit at. Besides meals, they have housekeeping services, and there are three different levels of care in the assisted living.

I was here for four months in the healthcare portion of the system, recovering from the loss of strength due to a severe bladder infection. I needed a place with physical therapy to recover my strength. The CNA’s, the staff and the therapists are excellent. I became quite friendly and social with a number of the CNA‘s that I saw regularly. Room is perfectly fine, the food is quite good, and the coffee is excellent. I have gotten strong enough to live on my own again and I will leave here in a week

This review is to help families looking for Memory care: The Assisted living /Memory support is a beautiful facility and some of the caregivers are compassionate. If your loved one has dementia/alzheimer's this is not the place for them! They do not have the training or the staff to handle this. The memory support unit is still only an assisted living. They don't tell you this when you sign the contract but as the disease progresses they will want to move them to their skilled nursing building which is nothing like the assisted living or the memory support they sell you on in the beginning. (please visit and you will see) You'll want to find a true Memory Care facility that is trained in dementia/alzheimers and will care for til end of life without moving to skilled nursing as they progress. While in assisted living they didn’t provide physical therapy, occupational therapy or much of any support unless you want to move the skilled nursing or want to continue to call and fight for it. The communication between staff is non existent. Nobody knows who is doing what. There were several times when the CNA's didn't know what our Moms needs even were. There is very little communication between the staff and the family. We never met the executive director. The director called her by her wrong name the whole time she was there. We didn't meet the Health services Administrator until 2 years later, when he told us she needed to move. We wanted to be happy with this facility and we were a very friendly family to deal with but I believe it is too big and my mom was lost in the chaos with nobody there to advocate for her. When we moved her in it seemed great and clean with plenty of help. When we moved her out there was no staff around at all and it smelled terrible. It seems it has gone downhill with a lot of staff turnover. Best of luck in your search!

We visited The Moorings of Arlington Heights. The rooms were excellent and the food was good. They had a recreation room, exercise room, pool tables, and games. There were plenty of activities.

The Moorings is very nice and has independent living, assisted care, and nursing facility. I've eaten in the dining room, and I visited several rooms there. They have an exercise room, a pool, and a large movie room in the assisted living. The staff is very professional. It's bright, cheery, clean, and the records appear to be well kept. They have musical programs.

The Moorings was a nice place. There wasn’t anything particularly negative, except that I thought it was pricey for me. They do a nice job, and they have been there for years. They are a little pricey, but they are providing a little above average type of place for people who could afford it. At my end, I just don’t think I have the resources to go there.

We didn't like The Moorings. They said that we didn't have a million dollars in assets. It didn't feel friendly. The entrance fee was too high.

I visited The Moorings. It was a CCRC so it was a very large, sprawling property, 45 acres for buildings, they have significant growth plans in the next years, and it was a lot of activities. They have a mass every week which important for my father; he's Catholic, they have a mass usually on Thursdays, rosary on Fridays, they have kids from high school come in once a month to help out with Bingo, and they have kindergartners come in once a month to interact with the seniors. They can improve on the price. It's over $400 a day. Having private rooms is almost cost-prohibitive, and to me it's very important that my father has at least a little left of his own.

The Moorings of Arlington Heights is a wonderful facility from a socializing aspect. I was not happy that they did not have personal laundry, only laundry outside of the unit.

The Moorings of Arlington Heights was a very nice facility. It was out in the suburbs, and it was on a very large campus. It was a very upscale place, and they redo everything when you move in. They had large grounds. There was a lot of space. The person who gave us the tour was very helpful and very pleasant.

I went to The Moorings of Arlington Heights, and the people were very nice and friendly. They have a lot of open areas where you can sit outside. It was the most beautiful place I saw with the flowers and the greenery. A lady showed me the rooms, and they have a beauty shop. They would drive me to a list of places if I wanted to go. The staff was very helpful.

I've visited The Moorings. They are on the expensive side, but they are absolutely gorgeous. It is gated. Everyone that I met who is there loves it. Regarding the staff, everyone was very nice.

I love the Moorings of Arlington Heights. The facilities were lovely. I really liked the people that we met. Everything was nice. However, if one of my parents needs assisted living, they'll have to move out of their apartment and move into the assisted living center, so there would be too many moves. What I like best about this place was the staff and the look of the place. It was clean, bright, and attractive. Also the staff was extremely friendly. The people there also seemed very happy.

I was in The Moorings of Arlington Heights for rehab. The staff was very good. The room was clean and nice, and it was well-serviced. The food was good and you could even pick your own menu. In the morning they passed it on, you fill out what you want, and they send it down. I ate in the dining room and it was very nice.

The rooms are beautiful at The Moorings of Arlington Heights. The dining area is really nice. It's like you are eating in a restaurant. They have a swimming pool and a beauty salon. It’s actually a wonderful establishment. The woman I talked to who is in-charge of everything is absolutely fantastic and very knowledgeable. We had lunch there one afternoon and the food is terrific.

I don’t think I can afford The Moorings. I think you would have to buy into it but I liked it very much. That would be my ideal place if I could go to a place like that. It seemed like some place I would want to be and I would feel at home. It was just the right size and the meals were included which was very important to me because I’m not doing any cooking anymore. I liked the grounds and I liked the fact that it had a gate where people couldn’t come in unless they were authorized to. It had everything I would want if I were staying here in Illinois. That was where someone I know was living and she's passed away. She started out in a little apartment. The only thing that bothered me was if you have to walk to where you eat; and during winter that could be difficult. It just seemed to me it was quite a distance from her place. I think she was very satisfied there at least that’s the impression I got. It didn’t seem like an institution. She was living very comfortably in her unit which was like a little apartment. It was of comfortable size and it had a tiny kitchen, a living room and then two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house looked clean. It was a very nice place.

The Moorings was also very nice and was in a nice campus. They only had 2 bedroom apartments but they had townhouses which had 2 bedrooms also. They had a lot to offer and I had no problem with the place. However, I was not that pleased with the marketing department. The fact that we submitted the whole financial application and they would not let us stay overnight in the guest apartment until they approve us. The receptionist was a little distracted and not that personable just like in a rush to get you in. I did meet the social worker, she was fine. There should be a little more sincerity in the part of the marketing. I thought she just wanted to snag a sale.

We visited the Moorings, and it was very beautiful, but the way that they get their buy-in almost priced my mom out right away. It was very nice. She would have been happier because it was just so pretty, but it was a smaller community. I really like the grounds and the outside area. It just was very quiet, serene. It had a very comfortable, relaxing feel. The rooms were beautiful. The staff was very bright and willing to share the different activities with us.

My Grandmother and Grandfather moved into this facility about 12 years ago. The place is very nice, good food, a swimming pool, exercise facilities, small library, ponds, patios, excellent grounds, and many other great facilities. My grandparents stayed in the apartments, but as the years went on my grandpa had to move to the assisted living area. He was well cared for. My grandma still lives there today and has no complaints.
