Alto Grayslake

My aunt has joined the Ensemble unit and she and we, her family, are so happy!! The staff is so caring and helpful. When we walk through the door, it feels like family! So grateful for Julie!!!

My mom has lived at Alto (formerly Anthology) for more than 15 months now and we are very happy with everything! The staff is wonderful! They are so kind and caring! I'm a retired RN and I'm pretty picky about Mom's care and I can honestly say that every single person there has treated her with love and respect. Like every other place around, there was a time when short staffing was an issue. However, throughout that time, Mom's needs were met. And, recently, there have been some wonderful additions to the staff. Natasha, the director of health and wellness and Shereena, the assistant director of nursing, are awesome people who have responded immediately to any question or problem we have. They not only make sure my mom is taken care of, they have also taken care of me. Their recommendations and helpfulness are invaluable to me. The nursing staff is very attentive and caring. They know each resident so well! They are amazing. The techs are loving and caring and treat my mom like a queen. The activities director, Mike, has such a wide variety of activities every day. No one should be bored. Diane, the receptionist, is the best go-to person for whatever you need. She is so friendly and welcoming. The kitchen staff knows Mom's favorites and will often have it ready for her when she arrives for her meal. Housekeeping personnel do their job with joy! Smiling and happy! And, last but not least, Chris and Jeffrey, the maintenance kings! We have needed their services several times and they have done the job quickly and with kindness. If I have left out anyone, I'm sorry. Because, we have not had a complaint about anyone on the staff from day 1. I trust Alto with my mom's life.

Our Aunt lived at Alto in both the Assisted Living and Memory Care units. Julie, activity director for Memory Care, is so great! Lots of interaction, activities and celebrations. My aunts dog was also welcome on the floor to visit and say hello to all residents. He loved to visit, meet new friends and still be a big part of her life. Mike, activity director for Assisted Living is wonderful also! Our family attended most of the family nights and they were so fun, Oktoberfest especially! Many thanks also to the women running the front desk, the nurses, Chef Dave and Elizabeth in the kitchen too!

I can’t express how amazing this facility is. I looked at ten places before finding Anthology of Grayslake for my mother. She started in assisted living but we knew eventually she would need memory care. The staff is outstanding. They treat my mom as family and is extremely caring. The food is great. The nursing staff is truly the best. They have activities all day and they will encourage all to be involved. My mom was shy and they helped her make friends. This facility is very personal. I was at ease knowing my mom is safe, being well cared for and having fun. Thank you Anthology of Grayslake!
