Assisted Living Communities in Evanston, IL

"It was nice. It was well-kept and clean. I liked that they had activities. Now with COVID you really can't see a lot of people out in the hallways, but it looks like they have a table where they could do puzzles on the floor. The only concern that I had was the elevators. Plus, I didn't see a string that they could pull like if they fall. I was concerned about that. They advised me that they do wellness checks throughout the day. So they'll do it in the morning. They have people that walk around, and then they do a check at breakfast. They do it that way. I just thought that they would have something where if something happened, they could just pull a string and somebody would come. Other than that, they were very courteous to us. Even in the independent living, they have the meals included, so I was very happy about that. I like modern facilities, but this one was old and it seemed dark."

"When my grandmother died a few years ago, my family decided that it would be best if my grandfather was placed in a assisted living facility. He has trouble getting around because of bad knees, hips, etc.We looked at a few locations around our home in Glenview. The Belmont Village of Glenview was by far the best choice. It was the closest (which helped considerably), and it was a very nice facility both inside and out. The exterior of the building had a very nice manicured look. There were plenty of trees and plants and it made it seem very peaceful. It almost had the look of a nice hotel. The inside was well furnished and comfortable. It seemed like a lot of care had been put into the decorating and this made it have a very relaxing look.The best part for my grandfather was that it was quiet and their was plenty of privacy when he wanted it. The biggest concern for him was that if he moved into a facility like this that he would never have any alone time and people would always be bothering him. Just from the visit alone we knew this would not be the case. It was a good choice for our family and I'm sure it would be for plenty of others as well. "

"I visited Norwood Crossing and toured their assisted living. I liked what I saw, and they seemed to care. The facility looked clean and organized. There is also a fitness center and a hair salon. The dining room looked nice, and the place itself looked very well-maintained. The person who gave the tour was great. She was very nice and helpful."

"I will be moving into Clarendale Six Corners. The building was pretty new. The care seemed pretty good. The staff during the tour was nice. The cleanliness was pretty good. The atmosphere seemed good. The room sizes and layout looked pretty good. They got a rooftop. The courtyard was between two buildings and it had grass."

"The Amazing Grace Senior Living seemed like a nice place to take care of the medical needs that my mother-in-law would need. It's assisted living and there are nurses there 24/7. It's close to home and it's religious. So we could go see her and it will make it convenient for us. It's a little homey and it looks clean. We had pizza, salad, and a fruit cocktail during our tour, and it was all good."

"We liked St. Joseph, but it was extremely expensive. So, it was out of the budget. The rooms were smaller, but clean and orderly. They had great staff. We knew the staff there because we used the rehab side of it. I thought it would have been the top option except for the price and the location. It was kind of out of mom's neighborhood, and we chose to keep mom in her current neighborhood where she resided. The food was fine. I saw them gathering people, and their staff was always very friendly, smiling, and very positive. They were encouraging people to join in the activities, and that I did like. It had a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. "

"The Sheridan at Park Ridge felt like a swanky hotel. It was very nicely decorated and very pretty. I wasn't 100% happy with the layout. They have all of their common areas on the first level and the residents live on the second, third, and fourth floors. Rather than having little nooks and crannies where people can sit and read a book or chat, the hallways were more like hotel room hallways where there was just row after row after row of doors. So, it wasn't quite as homey. It felt more like a hotel. I was pretty impressed with the staff that I met. They had a hair salon, and I like the fact that The Sheridan has signed on a third party for all the physical therapy. They bring an outside company onsite and they do it right there for the residents, and it seemed a little bit more professional to me. They also can go out on field trips. They have a grand piano in their main lobby and they have entertainers come and perform there."

"Sunrise was a beautiful and bright place but too expensive for my mom. It was convenient for us and close to my home. We just talked to the marketing people, who were friendly. The rooms were small but fine. "

"I thought Autumn Green at Wright Campus was a very nice facility. I thought it was probably a notch below the one that I also visited. They provided meals, they had activities, and there were games so I liked it."

"I visited The Hallmark (Brookdale Plaza Lake Shore Drive), and the neighborhood was very nice. I have lived in the neighborhood myself before. The grounds were nice, and it was nicely landscaped. The rooms were lovely. It was just like a little apartment. They had studios, one-room, and two-room units. The dining area was set up like a restaurant, and it was very nice. I had a taste of their food, and it was pretty much standard. The staff was nice. I thought for the assisted living part of it, we had to access everything through an elevator. My mother uses a wheelchair or walker, and that was a little difficult for her. "

"My grandmother is so happy at Sunrise Senior Living. It is located in Chicago's Lincoln Park community so she has nothing but the best around her at walking distance. The staff are so nice and so caring. My grandmother really enjoy the other resident and its just an easy living for her. "

"My tour at Belmont Village Lincoln Park went well. It looked like a well-organized facility. The rooms were a bit on the small side, but other than that, it seemed like a very nice place. The only thing was the price was very expensive. The staff seemed very good."

"my mother is a resident - her apartment is very nice - very clean - staff is great - newsletter each day keeps the family abreast of facility details - especially during Covid- would highly recommend this community."
