Benedale Ctr-Villa St. Benedict

This review is long overdue. We've been part of the Villa St. Benedict family for several years now, and if I’ve learned one thing in that time, if you have a relative who requires truly selective, attentive, and compassionate care, this is exactly where you want them to be. Every single person I’ve encountered here has gone above and beyond—not just once, but consistently. A perfect example of this culture happened recently when I was moving a mattress into my aunt’s apartment. It was 7:30 at night, snowing, and I was fully prepared to struggle through it alone. Cindy saw what I was doing and immediately dropped everything she was working on to come help me. That moment perfectly reflects this community: people who genuinely care and step up, even when no one is watching. The care team is equally exceptional. A year ago, my aunt experienced a fall, and the staff—especially the on-site nurse, Sonila—guided us through every step with patience and clarity. They truly have hearts of gold. They were flexible and supportive in ways that made a difficult situation feel manageable for EVERYONE involved. To be transparent, my aunt is someone who knows exactly what she wants. She has very high standards and can be quite particular, which means she isn’t always the easiest resident to please. Yet, the team at Villa St. Benedict treats her with unwavering patience, respect, and kindness. There is simply no better place for someone who needs that specific balance of structure and compassion. Her favorite things about living here really say it all: the incredible staff, the friendly residents, and the peaceful on-site chapel. She also raves about the food! Thank you!

My 88 year old mother was very resistant in moving out of her home after my father passed. As is the story for many people, I realize. Giving mom six months to live on her own to come to the realization that being dependent on other people was very difficult; my search began. I researched places around my house in Naperville and narrowed it down to two. When I showed my mom both places she really liked Villa Saint Benedict. From The very start in meeting with Cindy and going through what was needed to move her in, setting up the movers of which they recommended, the actual move-in day, and the ability to use two complementary hours of maintenance help in hanging pictures. The entire process was seamless and she is overjoyed at how friendly everybody is there and willing to help. I realize the buy-in at Villa Saint Benedict can turn some people off. But please note that it’s based on the size of your unit and the family and or resident will get 90% of that money back upon leaving Villa Saint Benedict. That is if they are moved to a new facility or if your loved one passes away. And I have to say on a personal note my twin sons both worked at Villa Saint Benedict during high school as servers and always raved about the food. Now we have firsthand experience that the food is outstanding quality! So please consider Villa Saint Benedict in Lisle if you are looking for independent or assisted-living for your loved one. you will not be disappointed.

My mother in law has been here for 5 years. Started in assisted living then transferred to memory care 1 year ago. ALL of the staff have been the most caring and compassionate people. We truly got to know the memory care staff - talk about angels on earth. The staff love our mother like family. Highly recommend placing your loved one here. The nurses, aides, housekeepers, beauty salon, every single staff person who works here are INCREDIBLE! We’re incredibly blessed to have Cheryl and Abena regularly care for her. We love Villa St Benedict- they will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you VSB!

Villa St. Benedict is a wonderful senior community. There’s a warm and friendly atmosphere, and it starts with the top notch administrators and staff members. The Chapel is absolutely beautiful. The campus grounds are second to none. Residents are kind and respectful. Overall, it’s a great place to live.

Excellent location for elderly family members. Excellent food, exquisite decor, and a large choice of on-site services. ( Physician office hours, beauty and barber care, multiple dining opportunities, library, full range of activities, transportation, and a bank and ATM.) really good security, and the concierge staff is really helpful. The campus is peaceful, gorgeous, and has welcoming programs that will make your loved ones feel at home. The only drawbacks are that there is intense rivalry to get in, that there might not be space in Assisted Living or Memory Care when that becomes necessary, and that the independent living side's elevators move a little slowly.
