Our Family's Experience

We chose the Grand Victorian because the facility was beautiful and the resident rooms were bright and airy. Some of the common areas like the cafe could use a little more attention but overall the physical space was uplifting. The residents themselves were very friendly and accepting of a new face. My mother-in-law, [name removed] was given a diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia shortly after arriving and went downhill rapidly. This is where the staff really began to shine. The nursing administrator, [name removed] has been tremendously supportive and her staff have gone above and beyond to make sure [name removed] is safe. They check on her frequently and offer genuine care and affection, even stopping by on their off hours to see her. We especially appreciate [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed]. The dining is what you would expect from an institution that needs to consider so many dietary restrictions so we completely understand why it did not rate high. [name removed] is now on hospice but we are grateful that she will spend her final months in such a warm and caring place.

Highs and Lows

Staff have all been very helpful. The food is not appealing to the residents. They might need a new chef. There needs to be an activity director that gets people excited about the activities so they would want to participate.

If you’re looking for a new place to call home, this would a great choice.

When you walk through the front door for the first time, you will notice this is not like most other facilities. The friendly staff is exceptionally caring, kind, and loving to the residents. The Grand Victorian experience just seems to attract nice people like that. The residents are friendly toward each other and they enjoy being together. They involve themselves in the many activities that are specially planned for them. Food service is always an important consideration and at Grand Victorian, you will never be disappointed. So, if you’re looking for a new place to call home, this would a great choice.

Great value

Great value. Nice and clean conditions and warm friendly staff. We’re glad we found it for our father . He is settling in well. The home is very responsive when we have questions. They genuinely care for the residents and encourage participation in events without pressure.

I toured this facility and it was great! Very clean and the rooms were larger than most of our other options. If they had a room available, we probably would have moved our loved one here! Definitely one of our top choices.

Nice home

We have been quite pleased with the care and compassion the staff provide to our loved one at Grand Victorian of Rockford. Would like to see some better and healthier options on the food menu with more selections for residents to pick from. Fresher options would be nice. Residents seem active and happy all throughout the building and keep out of their rooms interacting with each other. Staff all around has been exceptional and truly care for each and every resident.

I would recommend

The families and friends that comes to visit think the food is really good, but for the residents living there at least our loved one gets pretty tired of the meals - could be repetitive or maybe its just because its not the home cooked meals they are used to. We do think the value for the money is good. Even though our loved one does not participate in the activities they do offer plenty of things to do. What sealed the deal when it came to choosing Grand Victorian is the fact that our loved one just felt at home here.

My tour review

I liked this community but the thing that made the final decision was the fact that my loved one needed a community that would take medicaid if necessary. This would not have been an option here. The tour was good and they gave me all the information that I needed we just needed more financial options.

I did not like the layout of the rooms. The rooms were separated by half walls which made every room look twice as small.

No openings...

When we toured Grand Victorian, we thought that was going to be the place. The facility was very nice and maintained very well. The people there were exceptional, very friendly and helpful. It was a good experience to tour but unfortunately, they did not have any openings at the time.

We are really happy with this community

The staff are really good and are taking care of all her needs. The staff take things seriously and are on top of things. The community is clean and well maintained. They offer a lot of activities and the food is fine. My aunt likes her apartment and the cost of the community is better than the community she was at previously. I would recommend this community.

The food is not good

I like everything I have seen at this community when I visit. They only complaint I heard is that the food is terrible and most of the time it is inedible. When my loved one first moved in the food was great. The chef has since left and the food has not been the same. They are trying to resolve this issue. The residents are not really able to cook in their apartments as they only have microwaves. The staff are nice and the community is kept clean.

This community is worth recommending!

The staff are friendly and keep us involved in my father in law's care. They encourage him to participate in some of the daily activities. The food looks delicious and they have good options on the menu. The community always smells nice when we visit.

It is not the independent living environment we were looking for!

Our loved one really liked the layout of the apartment offered at the Grand Victorian of Rockford. It is a very nice facility. The community is very nicely kept and updated throughout. They only offered meal plans for three meals a day and our loved one only wanted meals once a day. They offer a range of activities for all the residents to enjoy. We would have liked to see separate activities for the independent living and assisted living residents to make socialization easier.
