Assisted Living Communities in Hillside, IL

"My brother has been at The Sheridan at River Forest and we're going to keep him there. We chose it because they have memory care. The facility looks beautiful and it is clean. It's got all kinds of things of interest and all kinds of activities, even for the memory care people. Every day at 3:30, there is a gathering in the lobby where they can watch some stuff on TV and have drinks. It's like 'sit and chat with your neighbors while you're having a drink' with a 2-drink limit. They also have entertainment on Fridays. They bring in other entertainment unofficially during the week. They have a bus that drives people around for various excursions, like going to see the arboretum and things of that sort. They have a calendar and it gives a list of activities by day. So, you pick and choose. Memory care has more limited choices. I'm amazed at the staff. They all seem to know the names of all the people on their floor. And even when I walk in, they know me because I come there fairly often. They know me by name. Plus, inside the memory care, they're very attentive to the people. The food is excellent, too."

"Sunrise at Fountain Square was very nice. There were lots to see. They're very active over there, which is great. There were lots to do if you wish to take part. One of the cooks came in when we were in one of the rooms, introduced himself, and welcomed us. The staff during the tour was great. It was clean."

"My dad was a resident of Bridgeway of Bensenville. I have no complaints, and everything was great. The staff was very attentive to all of his needs. The food tasted like cafeteria food. It was very bland. It wasn't overcooked. First, we were in a two-bedroom because my mom was alive, but then she passed away there seven days later that we moved in, and then we moved my dad into a studio. Both of them were okay with what they needed. The upkeep needed some work."

"My brother will be moving into Victory Centre of Galewood. It's a diverse community and we're looking for a place where my brother can speak languages, Spanish and English. There are a lot of people who speak both languages. Depending on how he feels, he might be able to speak any language he chooses if he knows who he's speaking to. So, Spanish is his primary language, but he's been in the States more time than the time he was in Puerto Rico. So, he's able to use both languages there. It's very open. Once you come in, it's like you come into a large place, but it's not that large. It looks like a place where there is a lot to do and there's space, and things are not crowded. It has a garden on the second floor, which is beautiful. It is very clean. They have a beauty salon. They have a weight room, a place to do exercises, and a library. They have a lot of activities, and they're pretty busy in terms of the activities that they do with people that live there."

"We chose Lexington Square of Lombard for the location because it's closer to most of us compared to some of the others that I looked at, and they are all very caring people. I like their tenure. Most of the staff has been there for quite some time and that was important to me because my cousin is in memory care, and I wanted to make sure that the staff knew how to deal with memory care. Safety is pretty good. I have to have a passkey to go in and to get out. They don't let just anybody in. The residents aren't able to get on the elevator on their own. I like the fact that the residents all wear a little beeper to page a nurse if need be. She has indicated that the food was very good. I like the variety. She is diabetic, and they are paying attention to that, so I thought that was great. There are things that she doesn't like, but I didn't see anybody complaining. They seem to be keeping her quite busy. They have her up and dressed every day. She's always doing something. The facility is very pleasant, very homey, and very clean. Everybody just seems very comfortable there."

"Sunrise of Willowbrook was very friendly, nice, and clean. It was all good. I only met the director and a couple of people passing by, but everyone seemed very friendly. They had a nice little dining area and a little library. Everything looked very nice. The only thing is the room that they had, my mom would have looked down a dumpster, and that would be my main negative for that. They were very good. They were right up there. It was very good and very nice. The staff were great. The place could be a little more updated, but their population doesn't care as much about all that either."

"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."

"Autumn Green at Wright Campus was very comfortable. The apartment was a good size. They had motion sensors in the apartment, so if there's no motion within so many hours, they'll check on you, which is nice. They had a sprinkler system in case of fire. Size-wise, everything was good, and my friend really liked it. The staff was very nice. The dining area seemed very relaxed. It didn't seem like a café; it seemed more like you're having dinner in your dining room. It was a very comfortable setting. They had quite a few activities. There was an outside area, but it was raining that day. We didn't go outside at all. One side of the building is facing the football field at the new Taft High School, so if you're into football, you get front row seats for the games."

"We moved my mom in back in September of 2024 and we couldn’t be happier with the environment she’s in and care she receives. I wish we made the move earlier as her life has become so much more full as she exercises and socializes throughout the day. She literally thanks us routinely for finding such a nice place to live. Her unit is very nice and furnished with items that used to be in her home which gives her just enough familiarity. The staffing: activities director, front desk, cleaning, maintenance, dining room, care givers and nursing are all exceptional. When my mom has had medical procedures, nursing has coordinated with us to make sure they are on board with her additional care and needs. I could go on. Pleased at every level."

"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."

"Brookdale Glen Ellyn was very nice, clean, and well-appointed. The dining facilities looked very nice. The pool and exercise facility were nicely appointed. The room that I was looking at was spacious enough for my needs. Tim, who gave me the tour, was very thorough in his explanation, so I was able to understand all the ins and outs of living there. There were lots of activities to be partaken in, both in the facility and outside the facility."

"I did an in-person tour of Clarendale of Addison's independent living. The lady who did the tour was very good and very thorough. I was very impressed with the facility. It was very nice and clean. Everybody I've seen in the independent living part seems to be very much in tune with everything and a very friendly group. All in all, I thought it was a very good experience."

"I'm moving into Amazing Grace Senior Living. I like it. It's close to home. I'm giving it a 5 because of the care they show there. It's new. The people are happy, too. The staff member who assisted me was Susan, and she was good. I tried their food, and it was good. I was hungry, and I missed lunch, so they gave me a sandwich. It was a tasty sandwich, better than anything I got at the other place. The rooms were adequate. At the other place, you get a two-room suite, but at Amazing Grace, it is a fairly small room, but it has a private bath and a nice window."
