Assisted Living Communities in Addison, IL

"My father is in Belmont Village. I choose it because it is close to my house, well-staffed and they seem to take care of my dad's needs right there. There is hospital less than five miles away and there's a mall in the east coast which is about three or four miles away. There are activities like live entertainments every weeks, movies, games and all kinds of activities with memory, but he does not participate. His room has a walk-in shower, which is what he needs. However, I will say that communication is definitely a downfall. "

"The Roosevelt at Salt Creek is my number 1 pick, but I can't get a room with a laundry room in it. You have to go down the hall like you're at a laundromat, and I just can't do that. Nevertheless, I like everything about it. I would see people in the hallway, and they were very friendly. The marketing people were very well-versed, cooperative, and attentive. They don't have a nursing section for later on, and I just want to make one move. They offered a free lunch the day we were there. They also offered to work with me on the rent. They were remodeling at that time, but the units I visited were very clean, and the dining room was lovely and clean. I love the fact that they have an indoor pool. Swimming is important to me, but that's not a deal breaker because I know most places don't have a swimming pool. However, that was an extra advantage from my standpoint."

"Staff was very friendly, residents also seemed very happy. Good relationship between staff/residents"

"Sunrise at Fountain Square has an intimate setting. It’s very new, and we were only there for 3 months. We like the layout and we are able to bring her things so that she can feel comfortable there. The staff are very attentive. They pay attention to her special needs, because she is diabetic. They also seem to show an extraordinary level of care, doing not only what they have to do, but going beyond. She has a wonderful apartment with a good view. My mother seemed to enjoy the food, it has a lot of variety. She goes to exercise class, they have a fashion show, a sing-a-long and a library. She is home. "

"I went here. I was waiting 45 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. When I saw the person, he was in a hurry. So, he quickly gave me a folder and showed me a room, and that was it. He showed me a studio. It was open. It was nice, but that's all they showed me. It's modern. It was beautiful, including the grounds and the facility, and there were a lot of parking spots and handicapped spots. The staffing, wonderful nurses, and CNAs were friendly and attentive to the residents."

"What my friend likes is that the grounds are quite large, and also the fact that they have two libraries. I think, basically, it's the feeling of spaciousness that he likes about the place. It also seems very clean. The staff who assisted us was very informative. Overall, I would recommend to others."

"Brighton Gardens was very nice. It looked great to me. I like the size of the rooms. When I went in there were a lot of people doing activities and in the common area. The size was bigger than I thought it would be. The bathroom was bigger. The person who showed us around was very helpful. "

"Sunrise of Schaumburg was nice and everything looked fine. The only thing that was different was it seems that there must be a lot of dogs in the building. Every time I went to the lobby, there were 3 different women who walk their dogs around the building. It just surprised me because I have never seen a dog anywhere else, but not that that’s bad. The lady who took us around was really nice, answered our questions, made us feel comfortable, and did a really good job with doing the tour. "

"It was clean and the people there were a lot active. The rooms looked pretty good. They had a nice setup for the dining room. It didn't have a full wall. It only had a half wall so residents could see you and you could see the residents. The main desk was right as you walked in, so that was convenient, and we didn't have to look for it. The staff was very informative and very professional. She followed up with me, which was nice. She was very bubbly and very happy. We were informed of the activities, how they presented the meals, that they had alternative meals, and we were shown a room. They had a barbershop and a library too."

"I visited Generations at Oakton Arms. The least I liked was that it wasn't a one-level place, it has elevators but other than that, the amenities and everything they offer were great. They had maintenance out cleaning up when I was out there. It didn't feel like a nursing home. It feels like a little home. They had a workout room and a gathering room where people could go and practice their religion and the staff was pretty nice."

"Visited on behalf of my mother. I liked the facility and the residents and staff seem to intermingle and everyone knows each other. I'd be happy to have my mother live her and would feel comforted that as a smaller facility, they would know her by name and she'd have a sense of community."

"The Moorings of Arlington Heights was a very nice facility. It was out in the suburbs, and it was on a very large campus. It was a very upscale place, and they redo everything when you move in. They had large grounds. There was a lot of space. The person who gave us the tour was very helpful and very pleasant. "

"It appears to be very good. It's fine working with the staff, and initially when my mother moved in everyone was very helpful with her transition. They have a variety of different rooms. They have studios, my mother has a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, a living area, her bedroom, and good closet space. She also has a storage locker down the hall. They went on an outside outing yesterday, and also have bingo, movies, games, church services and a swimming pool. It's pretty well-rounded. The staff members I encountered were very nice. The food isn't home-cooking but there's variety. There is good security in this community, and I think that's important."

"My dad moved into Franciscan Court. The staff was very wonderful walking us through both the process as well as the facility. The facility is smaller and met my dad's personality better than some of the other places we were looking at. There were a good number of activities and opportunities for him to socialize and grow. They were accommodating in terms of the availability and what opportunities he had. They were helpful in getting him enrolled and they made that welcome and very easy in terms of process. Also, the on-site welcome for my dad was great. They did some introductions and made him feel very welcome. The staff was very friendly, very homey, and folksy. It felt very neighborly. And so all of those things were great for my dad's needs."
