Staff members are super! Everyone is thoughtful and caring. Meals are great and the rooms are well kept. They recently painted the hallways and put in new carpeting. I don’t ever have to worry about the care that my mother is receiving. If there is any kind of issue with her, they always call and inform us about what is going on. They have a lot of outings and Bingos and bring in musicians for entertainment. They also have a monthly Supper Club where family members can join them for dinner and companionship with other family members.

My grandma loved living at The Villas
My grandma moved into the villa at Saint James. It was wonderful. Before moving, she was living alone in her house and all of her children that were were still working. Would stay a night each week. When grandma finally made the transition to assist a living, it lifted a burden off her children and the grandchildren. We were finally able to visit instead of being a caregiver the housekeeper, the fixer-upper, she loved visiting with the other residents, the activities and the dining room where she got to eat with her friends. The Villas at Saint James gave my grandma extra life. That I don’t believe she would’ve had if she just stayed at home.

The staff is wonderful and doesn't let my mom be stubborn and refuse help. The studio apartment is plenty big enough and very nice. They keep her room clean. And she enjoys the food. And she has been to the concerts they have and played Bingo to.

Supper club guest
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of visiting a family friend who is a resident at the Villas at St James. We went during their monthly supper club event and what a wonderful time we had. Aside from the delicious food, the staff and even the executive director were making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Each staff member greeted each guest and made sure they were served promptly. The building was so clean and smelled so nice. A great experience for all.

What a lovely place! I visited a family friend at the supper club event on [date removed] and was blown away by the overall atmosphere of the place. The workers were cheerful, helpful, kind and attentive to both resident and guests. The food was amazing and the fireworks were wonderful. I met the Executive Director and she was very welcoming and took the time to visit with each table. I was very pleased to see how well taken care the residents are.

We were taken on our tour by a wonderful women (AS) who was very understanding and kind. The Villas was really nice, clean, the people friendly. Unfortunately, they don't have a locked in area and my husband's dementia causes him to be a walk-away joe! So it wasn't a good fit for us but would be an awesome place for someone who needs to be cared for.

A caring staff and a recommended facility
The staff was very friendly and very helpful for dad. The place was very clean, they did a great job keeping dad's place as it needed to be. The food was good especially since dad didn't have to cook. There were a lot of activities so participate in, however dad was not there long enough to really get to participate much. His 1 bedroom apartment was a perfect size for him.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Illinois regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Villas at St. James 10 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
