Assisted Living Communities in Glen Ellyn, IL

"My visit with Sunrise was very positive. They have helpful staff. The rooms were perfectly fine and relatively spacious. They have lots of activities. "

"My mom loved living at Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale for the past four years. She was able to still have her independence, but there was always help there when she needed it. It gave all of us her family such peace of mind knowing she wasn't alone. The staff there was wonderful. They were very warm and patient with the elderly residents. The building was always clean and welcoming. The dining room always had such a nice variety of meals. There was always something going on if the residents wanted to join in. It allows them to be able to still interact with others instead of sitting alone. Aging is a difficult thing for all of us, but to know there are people who care is so wonderful. They do a great job at Alden Gardens. "

"I toured The Roosevelt at Salt Creek. The place was simply gorgeous. The people were very kind. Even the young lady that conducted the interview (her name was Hillary), was very feral and very informative. She gave us a tour upstairs and the place. It just looked like you were at home. Very warm, comforting, and clean. Just very nice. This was the first time my parents had even considered looking at senior living. I had my mother with me at that time, and she was very impressed with what we saw. All the common areas were nice. I have nothing bad to say. It was clean. It smelled good. I didn't smell anything bad. Everything was in order."

"We chose Clarendale of Addison for my father because of the professionalism of the salesman, the beauty of the place, and most importantly, the location. It's 5 minutes from my house. Eric has been wonderful. He has answered all of my and my father's questions and he's been very responsive and has helped out in many ways, even going to measure one of the units my dad was interested in to make sure his furniture would fit. It's a one-bedroom, has a full kitchen, a den, and a good-sized bathroom with a washer and dryer, and pantry. They have different apartment types, but he's choosing the one with the den because he wants to have a desk. They have everything. They have an exercise room, a barber, a bar, and an activities room. They have all kinds of game rooms, a lovely restaurant, and a snack bar. It looks like a luxury hotel when you walk in. It's beautiful."

"The staff members from Sunrise of Bloomingdale are very attentive and caring. They have made my in-laws feel very at home, very loved, and secured. They take care of everything that my in-laws need."

"My mom has moved into HarborChase of Naperville. She seems very happy there. She loves the food, and she has participated in a few activities. She loves it. There's an outside patio area that is private and is off of her room, so she can go outside and sit outside and get fresh air. She enjoys being outside. Especially in the summer when it's warmer, she'll be able to spend a lot of time out there. That was a big selling point for them. My mom's room is great. It feels bigger than the last place that she was at. It has almost a full kitchen. It doesn't have an oven, but it has a microwave and a fridge. It looks like an actual kitchen. It's not just like a little galley kind of when you just walk in and it's to the side. It has a counter that comes out and lots of storage space. It's nice. Her room also has a big open living room area. She's in a one-bedroom, so she has her own bedroom, and the bathroom is off the bedroom. There are tons of storage space. There were a couple of things that we found like a light bulb needs to be replaced or one of the outlets didn't work, but we went to the front desk, and they put in work orders to have those repaired. I'm not sure if it has been fixed yet, but they have a good process for that. In terms of activities, I know my mom has played cards, and they played blackjack one night. She had an appointment to get her nails done. She mentioned that there are a few other activities. I saw a flier on the counter like a fall kind of outing thing that they were having. They will take them to the store and things like that. They have several things every day for them to participate in. I haven't seen their dining room area, but they also have like a little bistro area where if you don't want a full meal, you can just go there and get like a sandwich or something lighter. My mom hasn't fallen since she's been there, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. She seems happy and she likes the food. I would say it's greater than her expectation. I've only met a couple of the staff. A nurse came in to give her her medications and she asked if we wanted to switch to in-house primary care versus her outside primary care and things like that. She was very nice. She checked my mom's blood sugar and gave her her insulin. My mom had mentioned that there's another staff that, does anything she asks for, and the woman does it right away and finds out for her. It seems like the staff are very helpful and attentive. HarborChase of Naperville is a little bit more than what we were paying before, but the amenities seem to be nicer. "

"Sunrise is a warm and welcoming place from the moment you walk in the building and are greeted by Anne or one of the other friendly and helpful receptionists. The rooms are cheerful and the care top notch. It is the little touches that make this so special. Mom was welcomed from the moment we arrived with a welcome sign and a lovely plant and staff coming by to greet her and introduce her to others. They made her feel special, like they were waiting for her to arrive. My Mom lived at Sunrise the last few months of her life. It was hard to have her move out of our home, but Sunrise couldn't have been more wonderful to her. It offered her a nice social life, my Mom was always the life of the party! She enjoyed her friends and finally engaged in a sport, Balloon Volleyball (I think the first sport activity she ever did as an adult). My Mom loved to eat out in restaurants and the dining room was run like a restaurant with a multitude of items to order. The food is good and they were accommodating with special requests. The staff is amazingly kind and truly seem to care about the residents. Jen and Stephanie are the main administrators and they lead a wonderful staff who took great care of my Mom. I would love to name them all but it is about 80 wonderful people!"

"We like it. The place was new, nice, and clean. They offered lots of things. It's out on a major street, but that's OK. They don't have much grounds though. The rooms were nice."

"Concord was dependable and had potential. The room was pretty decent; it could be a little bigger, but it would just be for my mother. They have a swimming pool, recreation rooms, and a family room. They have big hallways, a private party room for families, and an entertainment room, which was pretty big. "

"Sunrise of Naperville is absolutely wonderful. This is my husband's second time here. The staff is great. They're a little more expensive, but it has a lot to do with his care, and he's given really good care. They take them out on outings. It's like a home, and the people know you."

"We selected Monarch Landing. It has wonderful floor plan selections, and we found one that fits our needs. We have a lot of amenities that go along with the facility. They’re very active group. We have Catholic-faith and inter-faith groups here, plus a lot of card clubs, bridge, pinochle, and poker. If you’re bored, then it’s your own fault. The staff couldn’t be more accommodating to us. We have been here for about a month or so. The food is so wonderful that I’m putting on weight. It is so good. I can’t be happier with this place; I really can’t. "

"I love Franciscan Court because it is a small community with only three floors and 70 patients. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I have seen Dad's menu and it has a variety. They have a bigger meal at lunch and a smaller one for dinner. They have different activities all the time, like bingo, people who come in and play piano, crafts, and field trips. My dad is in a medium-sized, studio apartment and I like it a lot. I would suggest they improve their communication with the patients' families. "

"A wonderful concept of providing care. Instead of being an institutional environment, it is a comfortable single-family home that has been designed for this purpose. My grandmother loved the fact that she lived in a single family home, with three other residents, while getting all the help that she needed. I would recommend Golden Age to anyone who is looking for a place that offers assisted living. Like they claim...at Golden Age you don't live in a home, you live at home."

"The assisted living, senior living, and memory care are all in the same building at StoryPoint Naperville. The tour was nice. I met the activity coordinator for the memory care. They only have like 15 residents, so she seems to know every resident, what they like, and what they don't like, and what stimulates them to get them going. She's very involved with them. It was very clean. They have a library, they have an activity room where some of the seniors exercise, and I saw the dining area. I saw one of the rooms that they live in. It was all fine. I was very pleased with the facility."
