Assisted Living Communities in Sycamore, IL

"The Woodlands at Canterfield was beautiful. The apartments were fine, clean, nice, and brand new. We met with several people and they were all very nice and professional. They had a bunch of games going. It's brand new so there were not that many people there yet. We saw people in the lunchroom and it looked very nice. The dining area was beautiful. I didn't eat there. My brother and my mom ate there and they said the food was excellent. We met with several different people and overall everybody was great, but some were better than others."

"Bickford of Aurora was very good. What I liked least was that they didn't concentrate on memory care, but the facility itself was magnificent. They've got nice people. They have memory care, but their concentration is more on assisted living. If I put my uncle in Bickford, he would probably have to be in assisted living. Their memory care is way more expensive. It's over $9000. They're excellent. Everybody I talked to was so supportive. My uncle is Italian. He likes to have a glass of wine. They said, "You bring wine and we'll serve it to him at lunch or dinner." They were willing to accommodate him. It's a brand new place. It's gorgeous. They have a little bistro. They have a big living area. The dining room is more like a restaurant. It was nice. I wouldn't mind living there."

"My husband moved into Cherryvale Place 3 weeks ago. The nurses are very good. I like the place very much. It's very clean and very nice, and I'm happy with it so far. He has a studio apartment. It's one room with a small kitchenette and then a good-sized bathroom with a walk-in shower and a good-sized bedroom. We supply everything - the furnishings and all that stuff. They have a beauty salon, a patio that's enclosed, and they have a list of activities."

"I have toured many communities and as a healthcare professional, appreciate when the staff is knowledgeable about their residents. You can talk to the CNAs and nurses at Bickford and they actually know the residents inside and out. I am sure they would even know how they take their coffee, favorite color, and call them each by their preferred name. I feel that when I walk into the community to provide home care services, I am treated as a guest as well. I observe the residents having fun, being loved by the staff, and that this community is truely the residents home. Top notch place. "

"My mother is happy at Victory Centre of Bartlett. It's a supportive living community. Initially, she wasn't happy, but I think she just needed a little more time. People assured me it usually takes about three months for the person to settle in, so that's exactly what happened. She's very satisfied with where she is. The people who work there are very caring and attentive to my mother. Everybody knows her by name. Sometimes, I think she could use a little more assistance with her daily living activities. The food is very good. It's very clean. They are very concerned about the spread of germs. Recently, there was a little stomach bug outbreak. They made everybody stay in their room. They brought food to the room. They tried to contain it and they were very successful with their approach. They have games, movies, different crafts that they can do with the people and outings. They have a variety of things to do for the residents."

"I had a tour at Bickford of Rockford. It was a nice place. The staff and their residents were very nice. They wanted me to come there because I am a really outspoken and outgoing guy. All of them were nice people. Their dining room was very nice. "

"Morning Star Village is a great location. My mom is thriving there. She's like her old self. She receives great care. It's very efficient. The move-in was very well managed. They've been very attentive. They helped get her phone connected and dealt with the problem with her newspaper getting covered. They've been 100% gold star. The food service is good. They have activities, especially over the holidays.]'["

"My mom is currently in Franciscan Court. The thing I like most about it is it's family-owned. It's kind of small, so they get to know the residents really well. It was very nice, very clean, and well kept up. They have a nice dining room. They have a courtyard with a little fish pond, a little waterfall in it, and in the back where the residents can sit outside. They have a pretty large, lower-level facility where they have activities, which is also nice. They have special music come in. Sometimes they do bingo. They have some services on Sunday. They have other activities like arts and crafts. During the pandemic, they had to restrict residents to their apartments at certain times, which was difficult. They weren't able to do the activities, but under normal circumstances, they do plan some nice things for the residents. They have their big dinner at lunchtime hour, and it's usually pretty good. The facility is nice."

"Jennings Terrace was OK and had everything we needed at that time. The staff was very nice and very helpful. I observed how the nurse and the staff worked with the patients, and it seemed good. "

"My mom is in Grand Victorian of Rockford. The facility is beautiful, very nice, and very clean. We liked it immediately when we walked in. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. The food is very good. They have a pizza party, bingo, and a patio. My mom's room is very spacious with high ceilings and a beautiful view. We are really happy that we chose this place. My mom loves it."

"I visited a few other locations and liked them, until I saw Sunnymere. I love the setting with the views of the golf course, the "home" feeling and even the screen porches with wicker rockers. I was impressed by the staff, from director to the aides and was impressed by the ratio of staff to client. The food is wonderful, there are numerous daily activities and I trust the staff with my mother-in-law. That feeling of confidence is so important to my family. I visit a few times a week and have always been greeted with friendly smiles. My mother-in-law is happy and well taken care of here, which is my bottom line. "

"My dad moved in here. It is superb. It’s also close to my brother. They have a Bridge group, they have nice speakers that would come in on various topics, they have special dinners to which they invite family, and even candlelight dinners on special events."

"We really enjoyed our visit to the Bickford assisted living facility. We happened to be in the vicinity looking at other places to consider for our aunt. The grounds looked well tended and maintained, with plenty of nice shrubs, trees and places to sit to enjoy the outside and have social events with residents and their friends and family. The décor was quite nice and fresh. They can accommodate most senior circumstances with a variety of living options. We thought it looked as though the staff could easily manage all of the residents, which is important to us. Our aunt has a tendency to wander off at times, so her safety is a concern for us. The communal areas were nicely designed with easy to access furniture and a comforting decor. There were plenty of nice areas for quiet time as well as socializing with other residents and friends, family and other visitors. The staff goes out of its way to suggest stimulating things to do - from gardening, to reading, playing games and outings in the community. The variety of activities offered was impressive. Just about any hobby you might have can be accommodated - and more. They take suggestions from residents, friends and family. The residents are encouraged to enjoy physical activity as much as possible. They may take exercise classes such as yoga and aerobics, or use the weight training and other equipment. They may also enjoy the lovely garden which includes many pathways to safely enjoy in a serene environment. The living spaces were all a nice size and did not seem cramped. They were also beautifully decorated. We could see that our aunt would be comfortable in any one of them. We've visited quite a few assisted living facilities and thus far, the staff at this one are some of the most competent and friendly we've met yet. We could really see that the residents are treated with care, kindness and respect so that they are very well cared for at all times. "
