Well managed. Staff know the residents and treat them with respect.

Oakley Courts in Freeport, IL

4.5
I recently visited my sister and find her apartment very nice and the staff friendly. They recently have a new chef and she is interested in the residents opinion and found the food appealing. I find the elderly hard to deal with so each have their own opinions whether it be nice or not.
