Assisted Living Communities in Calumet City, IL

"My sister is at Sunrise of Flossmoor. It is extremely clean. There's easy access for family members. There is a nursing staff 24/7, as well as a concierge for security. They have numerous activities and outings. The dining area is more restaurant style, and the residents can more or less choose what they want off of the list of things for that day. They have very nice people. They are friendly and active. The medical staff is very interactive with us, so that if there are issues we know right away. It's just a good facility. They have all kinds of activities. There is exercise, outings to the library, ice cream socials, bands, and all kinds of activities that are brought in. There are crafts, cards, and entertainment. It's very nice. They try to keep the residents active in many ways. They also have a facility mascot, like a dog and a cat, for the residents. The staff is very helpful and very friendly to my sister. They keep me informed so I know what is going on, and that's all good. Whether it's medical or not, I know what's taking place, and I know she's getting the care that she needs. The food is very good, but I think there could be more monitoring as far as what food a resident is ordering, like if they're trying to control their diabetes and so forth there could be monitoring for that, and there could be more staff to serve the dinner and food items in a more timely fashion. I think the rooms are a little bit expensive and there is some marijuana smoke that you can smell sometimes at the facility, which I'm sure is a resident that's doing that. When you're spending $5,000 or more a month or $7,200 for the memory care, which is a separate unit, I don't think you should have to have that, even though it is recreationally legal. I just think there should also be a Medicaid option, and there's not a Medicaid option there."

"I toured Sunrise Villa Olympia Fields. It is beautiful. It's very, very nice. The only thing that we had a situation with coming out was that what they were asking for was eight thousand dollars, which is not available at the moment. The person who gave the tour was very nice and professional, and I enjoyed talking with her. Her name was Amy. The rooms were very nice, and I had no problems with them. They even reserved a room for us if we decided to stay or apply there. They fed us. It was very nice, and the food was good. The menu was good, and you had your choice of different dishes. I'm very pleased with the food."

"I found a memory care facility that is going to work really well for my mother, and she is moving into Residences at Deer Creek. It has a homey atmosphere, and it was not as expensive as the other one, and I thought she'd get taken care of better at this place. It's $2,000 cheaper a month. The staff was amazing, and they still are going above and beyond to make sure that this is as easy as possible to transition her into this home. I've seen the menu, and I've talked to the residents. I would move in there and eat there every day. Their menu is fantastic. It has a variety of all kinds of different things that they can eat. They have a chef who has won awards for her culinary expertise at this home. The common areas are clean and well-kept. The place does not smell like a nursing home because it's not a nursing home. They have independent care, assisted living, and memory care all in this building. It looks like a giant hotel from the outside. They have a concierge and a bistro. The common areas have couches and chairs and big screen TVs. If you don't want all the noise and all the activity, there are smaller sitting rooms where there's no TV and it's just nice and quiet. There are exercise rooms and activity rooms. For the memory care, there is secure outdoor access. It's a nice place. I'd move there."

"Our father was a resident in assisted living at StoryPoint for a year. The staff was kind, friendly, caring, and patient, and they tried to gently encourage him to socialize and take part in the activities but always respected his right to choose what he did and didn't want to do. We were in regular contact with the administrators and nursing staff, who would keep us updated on how things were going. When he was hospitalized, they called periodically to check in. They were also very accommodating when we came to clean out his apartment. StoryPoint is one of the good ones. A caring team, clean facilities, and a lot of residents looking to connect with each other."

"It has apartments where the residents could bring in a caretaker, and they can actually live in there. Then they have a nurse and staff, but it's totally different than the other facilities that are memory care. They had a lot of activities, and it was a very clean place. They had a professional gourmet chef on staff. So, the food looks a little more than just generic meals. The whole facility is brand new. The staff member who gave me the tour, she was very knowledgeable. They have a little theater in there, and the activities were just basic activities. I didn't see anything extraordinary for memory care there that she explained. It just looked like there were more gourmet meals versus family style meals, I would say; there was nothing cooking at that time. The facility is very clean."

"My mom was released from a rehab facility before having the medical equipment in place to continue her quality of life. The staff went above and beyond to work with other companies to get my mom the tests and medical equipment she needed. Mom is in the process of recovering but would have ended up back in the hospital, if it was not for the quick response and resources of Bickford. Thank you for all your help."

"I moved into Autumn Green at Midway Village. The people are nice and friendly and I feel safe. The staff was nice. They come to my apartment every Tuesday. The facility is clean. They have a gym. They had a barbecue this week. And they have a movie theater. It's a friendly atmosphere in here."

"We toured Brookdale Orland Park and toured the assisted living for my mother-in-law. We liked everything, but it was the price that sold it for us. The rooms were nice. The staff who gave the tour was excellent. The activities and amenities were also good. Cable is included, the landline would be your own, there's no TV or a microwave, but there's a refrigerator."

"Sunrise of Palos Park! Nice and friendly staff! Very helpful and the rooms are clean and sunny! Nice large windows with nice views. We are so glad to have moved my farther in here. Love the doggie too! Carolyn"

"We visited Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park and toured their assisted living for my mother-in-law. The community is excellent. I like everything about it, but the price. The room was very nice. It had a TV, refrigerator, and a microwave. The person who gave the tour was excellent. The dining area was very nice, but I didn't taste the food. The upkeep and maintenance were also excellent."

"I visited Bickford of Crown Point's assisted living. The community was very nice, and I enjoyed that tour. It looked like a newer facility. I only got to see one room, and it was alright. It didn't have a bedroom or a living area. It's more like a studio. The upkeep was excellent, though. I liked their dining area. They also have an area where you could go and get snacks when the dining room is not open, and I like that. It's like a little bistro. They have a little outdoor area. I like sitting outdoors, so it's nice."

"I visited Majestic Care of Saint Anthony and toured their assisted living facility. The people who worked there were very friendly, outgoing, and very helpful. I like the rooms, especially the ones that have one bedroom. The place was very clean, inviting, and interactive. I saw a place where you could play games and do puzzles. The dining area was also very nice and well-lit."

"As our mother, Sarajane, aged, she needed different stages of help. Initially, she moved from her home in which we were all raised to an apartment for seniors near me, to living with my sister during Covid, to living at Two Hearts near my brother, which opened providentially at the precise time when an assisted living facility was needed for her care. We felt like we had personal family care with each new challenge. As mother aged from her 90s to 100, Two Hearts provided social, physical, and personal care beyond what we were capable of providing for her. We felt like we had an extended family through the owners and caretakers at Two Hearts. The three of us are thankful to God for his timing for mother’s care at each stage of life and for the loving care of Two Hearts Assisted Living."
