I would like to share my heartfelt appreciation to the Pines of Dayton place for the care of my mother Rosemarie. When she first arrived in December it was with some hesitation and uncertainty, which is completely natural during such a transition. However over time our family has noticed a truly positive change in her outlook and overall well being. It has been such a comfort to our family to watch her settle in, grow more at ease and begin to feel at home. The kindness, patience and professionalism of the caregivers and staff at the Pines have made all the difference. They consistently treat my mother with dignity, warmth and compassion. It has been clear to me that they not only attend to her needs but, also take the time to connect with her on a personal level as well. I am deeply grateful for the quality care and attention she receives. Knowing that she is happy and content has put our family at great peace. Thank you to everyone at The Pines at Dayton place for the work you do and the continued care you give to my dear mother Rosemarie and I’m sure many other residents as well. With sincere appreciation, Diana Bunker

I moved in the latter part of May, and I was invited to sit with a group of ladies not knowing any of them and when you're walking around the hallways people are very welcoming and want to know how you're getting along. People invite you to activities. If anyone was thinking of moving in, I would suggest getting out to meet people and enjoy the activities, everyone is very nice. There is lots to learn and benefit from. The dining staff is wonderful, they always help you decide what you can order based on your preferences or if you don't like what is offered for the day, they can help you order an alternative dish. They remember your name practically from the day you move in and then after that they start to remeber what your usual drink order is. My apartment sparkles from the housekeeping work that Zaudi does. All in all, I am so glad I moved out of my house and that god led me here.

My mother lives at 5 star! The staff are great. The ED is less than impressive. These Seniors get poor quality food and a terrible menu each meal. My mom and her friends here have complained, started a food committee and it’s only gotten worse. As of yesterday, they have all lost weight, feel unheard and wondering if they should move. No improvement in over a year. The Executive Director has welcomed them to move “if they don’t like the food”. Five Star does not care about these seniors nor do they care the ED is terrible. Don’t choose this place if for your loved one. The food, cook, menu, company and ED are terrible. Calling the Ombudsman as this is these seniors last option to try and receive change. This is not just 1 or 2 residents this is more than half the residents in IL. I visit during meal time and also review the menu. It’s down right abuse.
