I visited this facility

What I liked about Elison Independent Living of Niles is that it's ten-stories high. If you've ever been in a Hyatt Regency Hotel or an Embassy Suites Hotel, it's laid out a lot like that. You come out of your apartment, and you walk across the hall, and there's not another apartment there. Instead, there's a railing through a balcony, and you look down into an atrium down into the lobby, so it feels more like you're living in a hotel. They also said they're going to completely redo the plumbing in the next six months, put in new kitchens, and new bathrooms. The place is very clean though, and they have an indoor pool, which I thought was nice. They have a number of activities. They look more positive than the other place did. They have a studio, two one-bedrooms, and a two-bedroom. The one bedroom was 641 square feet, and the other one was about 550 or so square feet. The atmosphere was very nice.

The staff is wonderful. They provide weekly cleaning. Each apartment has its own kitchen. Most people use it very little, except for the refrigerator, because meals are provided in the main dining room. For me, I think the food is fine. The one thing that I am amazed at is the servers. They just redid the lobby with new carpeting and furniture. It's very appealing. My family is always impressed when they come here. There are several activities each day.

It was very nice. That would probably be one of my first choices. It's just they don't have graduated care and if I move, I only want to move one more time. I like their room the best. The rooms were very nice. I can afford a studio. Their studios have the bed partitioned off, so there's at least the illusion of having a bedroom. The staff was a very kind, gracious lady, answered all my questions, and was very nice. The food was very good. I had a bowl of soup, and it wasn't salty.

It had a lot of activities and things to do there. They had a pool, an activity room, and a small pool table. It's open and airy when you walk in. The rooms were very nice. They have a nice kitchen in them, and they have a good use. The person who showed me around was friendly and accommodating. I even had a meal there and the food was good. I liked that place.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

The unit that my sister and brother-in-law chose was a little bit larger and there were a lot of activities going on. They have quite a bit of entertainment. The people that I've met have been very nice. My sister and brother-in-law are still kind of trying to get acclimated to the place. There are a lot of amenities for them to take advantage of, but again, they haven't taken advantage of anything yet. They are still trying to get acclimated to their surroundings because they came from a five-bedroom house to a one-bedroom unit. It was a very big downsize for them. The facility is clean and nice. I think that all the exteriors, like the common areas, are clean. I've been there bringing stuff to them and by just walking around, I see that everything is very clean. There's a library and activities that they try to engage the people that live there into joining. They have people there who help with physical therapy and exercise, but I was just amazed at the entertainment that they have for these people. It's nice.

It was very nice. They have a big area where all the residents tend to congregate and sit. They also have a beautiful pool and rooms where they do different events. The apartments were also nice. The staff was lovely.

The people are very congenial, accommodating, kind, and compassionate. They welcomed me very eagerly and very sweetly. I enjoyed the tour a great deal. Anita, the lady who gave me the tour, was very kind as well, and very professional. As we went through the facility, the residents were welcoming and came forward to greet me. I liked it very much. The only thing I was not able to accept was that they did not have laundry facilities within the apartment. The laundry facilities were on different floors, they weren't on every floor. The food was excellent and very tasty. The dining staff was very professional and very smooth. People came over to my table and greeted me. The kitchen appliances in the apartment they showed me seemed dated, but that was only in the apartment that they showed me. Perhaps they weren't dated in the other apartments that I did not see. They have huge amounts of things that they do. It seems like it is a constant rather than just every other day or every week. Every day, they have exercises, and they have an exercise room with the proper machines. They have very active recreational facilities. They have an art room with displays of the residents' artworks. Their calendar is filled with different things that they do every day.

It seemed very, very nice. They were a good community. It reminded me of a hotel. It's got a very open atrium and there were a lot of residents sitting in the community area and talking. The apartments had modest appliances. It's important for us to have a washer and dryer in the unit, but they don't offer that. The lady we spoke to was lovely and very knowledgeable. She was very friendly and very helpful. She gave us a little goody bag when we left. The dining area seemed fine, too. We met the chef there and he seemed like a great guy.

I had an excellent tour. It was very nice. It has an open lobby with a big atrium and airy ceiling. The people who walked us through, and the one-bedroom apartment we saw, were all very nice. We liked them. We had a meal there and it was excellent, too.
