Adult Day Care Communities in Evanston, IL

"The House of Welcome is a wonderful day care. I feel 100% comfortable having my husband left to their care. HOW's staff makes every participant in the program welcome and the participants want to come back. Even some one who doesn't want to go to the program, eventually they too want to be at the HOW. My husband started going to HOW two days per week. Right now he is asking isn't he suppose to be at the HOW every day of the week. It is the best respite one can get and at the same time know you will be your love one later in the afternoon. "

"Alden Lincoln Park in Chicago, Il. offers adult day care. Overall, I thought Alden Lakeland Rehabilitation Center was a very nice facility that I would highly recommend. The clients who come for day programming experience all the amenities of the residents. It is a great facility that adds all the comforts of home. From the outside it is a beautiful apartment complex in Chicago, near to downtown and the Lincoln Park Zoo. It is a wonderful neighborhood that offers many stores, restaurants and activities. Those who come for adult day care are offered all the internal activities and all the external outings. It is a wonderful place for seniors to go to engage in socialization, activities or education. I would recommend Alden Lincoln Park in Chicago to anyone seeking a adult day care facility in Chicago. "

"My mom came to live with me after she suffered a stroke and was not able to take care of herself. I work full time and don't have family that can help watch my mom while I'm at work. A social worker recommended I look into adult day care facilities and recommended this one to us. My mom loved it the day we visited! Most of the residents and employees are Spanish-speaking, patient, and wonderful! They have a bus that comes every morning to pick mom up before I leave for work. Once they arrive at Casa Central, they eat breakfast together. Each day is filled with a different activity that makes my mom look forward to going. My mom's personal favorite activities include: aerobics, dancing class, singing songs, crafts, and the (optional) sermons given by a pastor. For holidays, they have special events that include kids and even musicians like mariachis! Casa Central even has field trips for those residents that are well enough to walk longer distances. They also eat lunch there and have a bus that drops them off at home in the afternoon. I recommend taking your loved one to visit this facility. Like my mom, they won't want to leave. "

"I use CJE Senior Life during the weekends for my wife and I am happy with them. They are really good and I recommend them to others. "

"Dad goes to Accolade, which is a great facility. They were very engaging with the people, and they were very active. The first day I went there, they had them doing chair exercises, listening to music, and they were even dancing. It was really rejuvenating to see how they were engaging with the elderly. They had Bingo, arts and crafts, and they even had an art walk, where you walk through the facility to see the residents' art."

"Oak Park Arms is independent living, but they also have an in-house office that offers assisted living functions. It has like an ala carte add-on of assisted living. We would have chosen that one, but it was just a little bit outside of my mother-in-law's budget. The staff was very helpful, very friendly and showed us the facilities in detail. It was very clean and the structure was good. The rooms were a little bit bigger and more comfortable than the other place. There were nice-sized studios. I found it to be pretty homey and pretty friendly."
