My mother was at Sunrise Villa Olympia Fields for four years. She was there from November 2016 to September of 2020. She moved to assisted living for a week. It was expensive. She's quite capable of doing everything, it's just that she has dementia, and it got worse when they locked them down and made them stay in their apartments. It was a lovely facility. They had a lot of activities to keep them going daily. They had a board where they could look and see where they wanted to go and what was available to them. The meals were decent. The residents there were quite friendly. My mother enjoyed the facility because they had two courtyards, one with a garden and one where you can go out and sit or just walk. The difficulty came when she was restricted to her apartment because of Covid and that kinda kicked the dementia up. She was unable to socialize because they couldn't even come out to eat. They would bring in the meals, and she was also complaining about the meals. My mother was in a studio apartment on the main level, but that apartment got flooded twice. I told them that she got to get off this floor until they all could correct what the problem was, so they moved her to the third floor. She said she had a nicer view on the third floor because she was up high and she could see more. There were no problems until the Covid. Her studio had one main room with a kitchen and a bath and that's what she needed. They had studios, 1-bedrooms, and 2-bedrooms. They had an exercise room, a hair salon, a library, a little general store, and workshops for guys who like to work with their hands and build stuff. They had a lot of amenities. They had villas, which were like little townhouses with 2-car garage. A lot of the people there had their pets. They take pets up to a certain weight limit in the apartments and then if it's larger than 30 pounds, they have to get a villa. They had a very accommodating and friendly atmosphere. The staff members were very patient when my mother started having her problem. They had a doctor on-staff, a doctor who comes in many days a week, and a dentist who comes in many days a week. They had a pretty decent variety of food until Covid.

Sunrise Villa Olympia Fields is a great community. We had a meal there and tried the food, and it would come highly recommended by me for anybody who wants to go there. The staff who gave us the tour was extremely knowledgeable about the community and all the processes within the building. They have exercise programs, art programs, various trips scheduled if people want to go on if they want to like day trips to restaurants or shopping centers, you name it. They were just basic things they have at assisted living. The place itself is very well-maintained.
