Assisted Living Communities in Lemont, IL

"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."

"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."

"My wife and I resided here in StoryPoint Bolingbrook, but my wife died. So I am here by myself now. Dan, the executive director, and Dina, the sales director, were incredibly helpful and understanding during that time for my family and myself. Once we moved in, that positive experience continued through the assistance, understanding, care, and love exhibited by the entire staff. This was especially true during my wife's final days. I managed and developed shopping malls across the country for almost 25 years. I say that to underscore my level of knowledge and appreciation of facility construction and maintenance. In this regard, StoryPoint gets the highest marks in all respects, considering the appearance of the physical property, the building and furnishings and most importantly, the cleanliness. I don't mean to leave out any one of the incredible nursing and caregiver staff. They're fabulous, but I have to give special recognition to Miss Jojo and her great dining room staff and the extremely talented and inventive chefs controlling the kitchen. Three meals a day, seven days a week is a daunting task, especially given the incredibly diverse taste in cuisine that the clientele here bring to the table. In my opinion, they put the ball on goal nearly every time. StoryPoint is tops, in my opinion and experience, in just about every phase of the arena of senior citizen living and caring for people with continuing problems as they age. I have a two-bedroom apartment that eventually I would downsize. My wife was very involved in some of the arts and crafts. She used the exercise facility. They did physical therapy there. My main participation is in walking and enjoying the other residents here. The meals are wonderful. There is plenty of activities, as many as you want or as many as you don't want. The staff is wonderful. I haven't run into anybody who I didn't think had the best interest of all the residents at heart, very caring, very responsive to the people's needs, and extremely friendly. I've not run across a sour face yet. The food is amazingly tasty, amazingly well done, well prepared, and well served. This place is in great shape. Based on the inspection that my family and I did before we moved here, I think this is one of the highest values that we could find in terms of what they offered versus the cost."

"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."

"The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and genuinely cares for the residence. Everyone had been very accommodating and responsive. The rooms or apartments are very nice , perfect size and housekeeping assist with the residence and keeping their apartments clean. The meals are delicious and always a variety to choose from. There is a wide variety of activities for the residence to choose to do. My mom and our entire family are extremely happy with her living at Story Point!"

"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."

"We toured Brookdale Lisle's independent living for our father-in-law. Our salesperson, who's also the person who gave us the tour, was very nice. She answered all of our questions, showed us everything, and a couple of rooms. She showed us a studio and a one-bedroom, the ones we were interested in. She also showed us their nursing station and all their amenities. She was very pleasant and we enjoyed having the tour with her. They had a pool for exercising, a library, and a fitness room. They have a little garden outside and a garden group if you want to go gardening. It seemed like they had activities throughout the day, too. Their dining room was very clean and very nice. They had a little outside patio in the summertime. They put tables and umbrellas out there if you wanted to eat outside, and that was nice. The room we saw seemed very clean. The people we saw seemed happy to be there. There was a room where people got together and played board games. We saw a few people doing that and people exercising in the exercise room. It was a pretty big facility, and it was very clean. My father-in-law was pleasantly surprised. He said it was a lot nicer than he thought it would be, and I agree with him. We might be going back because they have happy hours every Friday, so my father-in-law kind of wanted to go to one to meet more people to kind of help make up his mind."

"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."

"We went to visit Saratoga Grove Retirement and Assisted Living and toured for independent living. They were very nice, and they showed us around really well. They showed what the rooms looked like, what they provided to the seniors, and stuff like that. They're very professional, and it's very nice to see everything the way they have it. They seem to be very good. They provide transportation services for the people who need them, they have a doctor in-house, and they have a food service type of situation there, which is also very good. We checked their dining area, and it was nice. They had a cafeteria-type environment, but I understand they would also take food up if the residents wanted the food delivered to their suite. The whole environment was very good. The person who gave the tour seemed to know the people that he worked for and knew the seniors there."

"My mom moved into Sunrise of Naperville. I liked the people that were there. We liked the space and the sense of security. We liked its location because it was very close to me. We just had a good feeling about it when we went, talked to them, and saw the place. We also had recommendations from other people who had loved ones there. The staff members are super friendly, very communicative, helpful, and flexible. The food is very good. It's a very nice building. They keep it clean and well-maintained. They have an entire calendar of activities that they publish."

"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 sister moved to The Cottages of New Lenox. I like the friendliness of the staff, the floor plan, the small cottage feel, the open-space environment, and the studio bedroom was perfect. So far she's done some artwork and played some games. They did a bingo game yesterday and she seems to enjoy those games and activities."

"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."
