We just visited Bethlehem Woods Retirement Community when I was checking out places, and this was very high on my list. Everyone seemed really nice. It seemed very clean, the people there seemed to be happy, and you could tell just by walking around. They seemed to have scheduled activities posted on the board. The only reason that I didn't want to put my mother in there was because it was too far from my house. The apartments seemed pretty big, and the one-bedroom was really nice with a little ...

My mother has only been at Bethlehem Woods Retirement Community for two weeks. So far, it has been an excellent experience. She is happy, and she is well cared for. There have been no complaints. The staff was very friendly. She is in a room that is 320 sq.ft., and it is very clean. The bathroom is very accessible. There are a lot of activities. There are games. There is player practice. They have bingo. She does not complain about the food. The dining room is small with lots of tables and chair...

I visited a relative there and I was invited to eat in there dining room rather than go out for dinner. What a mistake I've seen better hospital food. I asked my relative if they could opt out of the dinner plan but there was virtually no savings in not taking the meals. They must be making a fortune on the slop they are feeding these old folks. Ever heard of Spaghetti with banana bread? I couldn't eat there and went out after I didn't want to embarrass my relative so I feigned not being hungry ...

My aunt pays close to $4000 per month for her apartment, which is very nice. It includes one skimpy meal each day. The food has gotten much worse since the purchase of the property by Presence. Sunday dinner used to include prime rib. This Sunday, she received a sad portion of mushy chicken pot pie. It included maybe 2 ounces of dried out chicken in a thick gravy with a side of steamed and unseasoned carrots. The calories are inadequate; she has lost over 40 pounds since living at Bethlehem ...

The food service has changed and it is now terrible. Both mother and in laws have lived here for a few years. It is too bad they are not listening to your residents. Even I won't join they for dinner anymore after hearing how bad it is.

Mom has at Bethlehem Woods for about three weeks now, and I am very happy. It’s close to where my sisters and I live, and we are her primary caregivers, so that is really important. It is also a Catholic facility, and my mother is a very devoted Catholic. I appreciate the fact that she can go to church every day and receive communion in her room. This facility came highly recommended, also, by my friends, whose parents were there. The staff is very good. My mother is very fussy, but she likes th...

The facility is located in a lovely section of LaGrange Park, close to shopping and medical facilities. The staff all seems warm and welcoming, with an emphasis on care and concern.

Also onsite is a beauty parlor/barber shop, and a small convenience store. For retirement r...
