Assisted Living Communities in Long Grove, IL

"Brookdale Vernon Hills is beautiful. It's an open floor plan, and it's got a swimming pool and a jungle right in the middle of everything. From what I've seen, the cleanliness is fine. They come in once a week and clean the house and wash your linens. The staff members I met were very friendly. The girl, Martha, knew everybody we met by name. She's very knowledgeable. They've got everything. I liked it."

"It was fine, and a lovely experience. The staff was lovely, informative, and helpful. The rooms were fine, adequate, clean, and well laid out, however, it was a bit far away. It's welcoming, small, and it had a nice garden. They have a bus, and they try to have activities for the residents. The dining room looked like a restaurant."

"The apartment is beautifully appointed and ready to move in. Everyone that mom has encountered has been friendly and caring and that includes staff and residents. They go out of their way to make sure she feels seen and taken care of. She enjoys the dining room because she has very nice meals and gets to meet new people every time she goes. Change is difficult, especially as you get older, but the staff has made mom's transition smooth."

"I went to StoryPoint Libertyville. It was pretty nice, except that I'm an African American man, and there weren't any African American residents there. I didn't feel as comfortable going there as I would if there had been some African American men or women. They were an excellent facility. The staff members were outstanding. I enjoyed talking to the ladies who escorted us around. They had bingo, and that was nice. They had other games like poker."

"The Moorings of Arlington Heights has a rehab center there, and that's where my husband was transferred from the hospital. He was there for five weeks and received very good care. The nurse practitioner there was excellent. She was great. She was very knowledgeable and worked with my husband to make sure that his meds were correct and taken at a particular time when he needed them. The certified nurse assistants were also great. Most of them were very well trained and knew what my husband needed help with. It was excellent. No complaints from them. The building was very pleasant and very nice. They have a bird sanctuary in the lobby that you can watch. It's a huge structure and very interesting to watch. Everybody was very friendly. When you walk in, you have to sign in, of course, but then that's for safety. They gave you a badge to wear. The physical therapy and occupational therapy area was excellent. It's very bright, and there's plenty of room to move around. It was a very pleasant place. My husband said that the food wasn't highly seasoned, but then you are making food for a big amount of people. He had several meals that he enjoyed. It's a varied menu. They come every day and ask you what you want for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And if you don't want any of the actual choices for that day, they offer sandwiches, burgers or hotdogs, soups or salads. I would recommend The Moorings of Arlington Heights. I met a lot of wonderful caregivers, nurses, and their assistants, and all were very accommodating and concerned about each of their patients. It was great."

"The facilities are well kept with more spacious apartment floorplans than others in a similar location and price point. The activity areas are large and well appointed for the daily activities, entertainment, and educational offerings. Their dining services are great with a wide variety of meals and a weekly Sunday brunch. Most importantly the staff is very friendly and professional. Everyone from the front desk to the available home service care givers get to really know their residents, and even their families. I feel comfortable knowing my father is surrounded by good people."

"I was very impressed with Sunrise of Schaumburg, but I think my sister would need more of a supported living arrangement because they said if she ran out of money, she would have to leave and I don't want to get into that situation. I was very impressed with the staff, from the janitor to the housekeeping to the director and the person that does the activities. Everybody seemed to love their job. Most of them have been there for a very long time. You got to have people that like their job, that want to be there, to get good care, so I was impressed with that. I was impressed with everything. It's on the small side, so that was fine. Another drawback is my sister's ability to do more things than most of the people that were there. Other than that, I loved everything about it. The people were very nice. The people that were staying there also were super nice and friendly. The tour was very thorough. The staff gave me the pricing. I got to see the dining room, which I thought was very nice. I didn't have too many questions other than what happens when they run out of money. The staff during the tour was phenomenal. The facility was a little on the older side. It's not like it was really bad. The carpet could be replaced on some of the floors. The rooms were small but adequate. They had refrigerators and sinks. You could have appliances that automatically shut off, like a coffeemaker that automatically shuts off after a certain amount of time. They don't mind you having those types of things. Other than that, they don't want you to have anything else in your room. There's a place where you can get coffee and snacks and stuff like that near the dining room."

"My dad has been there in memory care for almost 4 years. The staff has been wonderful dealing with him and being accommodating for my mom who visited everyday. When covid hit the facility rose to the challenge. Recently the facility started to allow visitors again and we were able to connect with dad before he passed away this week. Again, the staff was so accommodating and helpful as we spent time with my dad during his final days. We really appreciate everyone who helped with my dad over these 4 years. Thank you . "

"I went to Lake Barrington Woods. The lady who met us was very informative and very helpful. She took us on a tour of the facilities. They were very nice, very clean and very modern. We went to one room, which was a two-bedroom and it was very nice. She showed us about eight different floor plans. It seemed like they had a tremendous amount of activities all day. They had a varied menu for the meals. They offer breakfast and dinner every day, seven days a week. They offered a choice of outside parking or inside heated parking. They have a library and a courtyard and a very extensive fitness center. It's very nice and very modern, and the apartment she showed us had a very large kitchen that's well equipped and had large closets. They had a washer and dryer per room. The staff was very helpful, very patient, and very willing to take time for us. The building was very big, and the halls were very long. We did not have any meals, but she gave us a menu for that day and it was very extensive and had lots of choices. All the utilities are included plus they have a deal where you get a button to wear if you need it, so that in case you have an emergency, you just press the button and help comes."

"I visited Encore Village of Schaumburg. The staff was great. It was a pretty nice place. I had no problem. It was clean and convenient to get around. Everything was right there. You didn't have to walk them out to get here and there. The patio was clean and beautiful."

"I have chosen Sunrise of Highland Park. They have two-room suites. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom with an adjoining small common area. It's an attractive facility. They have very helpful staff. It's a suburban environment."

"In 2024 I lost my husband unexpectantly and was living alone in a large house in Schenectady, NY. It had stairs I had fallen on twice when my husband was alive. My two children live in Chicago and were afraid of me falling again and getting hurt or getting sick and having no family close by. My closest siblings were two hours away. After looking at Brookdale Hoffman Estates and other senior communities near Chicago, Illinois, I decided Brookdale would be my new home. During the tour I saw residents socializing and using the amenities. When I moved in I was greeted warmly by staff and residents. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Many of the residents helped my first days be comfortable. I met so many residents and became friends with some. I did not know what to expect and was pleasantly pleased it was above my expectations. My two-bedroom apartment is comfortable and is what I was looking for. Staff listen and try to accommodate residents' requests. Everyone I meet is friendly including residents, staff and visitors. People from all walks of life and from many states live here. They say they like living here. Many stories are similar to mine. It is good to be around people who understand what I have been going through since my husband's death. I love the beautiful grounds and manmade pond with a fountain and walkway around it. My cat and small dog are adjusting well. I would recommend Brookdale Hoffman Estates to anyone looking for a senior community because that is what Brookdale is, a community."

"I am very happy at Brookdale Des Plaines. I love the ladies I have met and have my meals with everyday. The residents and staff and very friendly and will go out of their way to help you. I would recommend Brookdale Des Plaines."
