The Best Assisted Living Communities in Will County, IL

"I toured Timbers of Shorewood. I was impressed. It was very nice. They had a very nice kitchen with a regular-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, sink, and cabinets. I checked their dining area yesterday. I didn't write any food, but they gave me a Halloween treat bag to take. The dining area was large. The place had a homey feel to it. The staff was very nice and very informative. She worked there for 15 years. They had a large game room. They had a one-bedroom. They have on-staff 24 hours, two nurses, and they showed me where their offices were."

"I toured American House Cedarlake. The units are the same. They're different sizes, but they're the same. It's the level of care that you get that makes a difference. My kids think I should go to assisted living, and that sounds reasonable. I like the unit they showed me. It's very clean and pleasant. The assisted and independent living people mix, and they have two dining rooms, but they often eat together. It's a very pleasant place. The staff during the tour was very nice. The woman who showed us around had been in touch with my daughter until they could schedule an appointment. And then any others we met going around the building were very pleasant, and the people who lived there were too. It was confusing the first time I went through it, but it's reasonable."

"The tour I had at Franciscan Village was very good. It was organized, and caring and had an overarching feeling of a faith community, which was very attractive to both my mom and myself. It just so happens that we're practicing Catholics so that was a connection. They have a chapel and they have mass every day and things like that that my mom liked. We saw an assisted living room and we thought it was very spacious and well thought out, especially the roll-in shower setup. The shower was very spacious and safe so there were no safety concerns for the individual going from a walker right into a standing or seated shower position. It was all flat. The room was very nice. Christine was my tour guide and she was very good. She deserves a good review. She knows her product. She knows the facility. She's been there for at least seven years and she did a great job. The product kind of speaks for itself. It's a very nice facility and it has a faith-based add-on that not all other assisted living and nursing care facilities have. So, the extra thing speaks for itself. She deserves a good review. She earned it and the place earned it, too. She's not selling anything. She's just showing you what it is."

"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."

"My father-in-law is in StoryPoint Bolingbrook. He's been there now two years and it wasn't hard to get him in. Once he got there, the community was very special and very welcoming. The events director took a liking to my father-in-law, and they got a great relationship. The whole staff is wonderful. He recently had a couple falls, which is typical for a 100-year-old from time to time but their care and attention to detail was very good. I felt like they were there with me and my wife every step of the way to try to get all these stuff resolved. The ambulance takes him to the emergency rooms and then we meet them there and when he gets back to the place, knowing that he's well taken care of is very comforting. His apartment is pretty standard for one person. It's very pleasant, very nice, and very clean. It's a fairly new facility. It's only been there for like seven years. It was the right size for him. It wasn't too big. Everything is really close by. It's right down the hallway from his apartment. He can use his walker and get everything he needs. Everything's pretty much at his fingertips. They have some outside stuff going on all the time. You can be as busy as you want or you can just take a day off and not get out of your room if you want. He chooses most of the time to participate. It's been a wonderful overall experience for him and it's been very comforting to us as well as his caregivers. They have movies every night, bingo, events, and entertainment sometimes even during certain holidays. Every day, they got something. They got exercise and fun stuff to do. He works out every day. They got a workout room right down the hallway where he's at. He goes on the stationary bike a couple times a day for about 40 minutes. He really loves that. They like him. They call him by his first name. It makes him feel really good. These people are always stopping by and checking on him, and it's just a great situation. He always tells us about his breakfast. He doesn't do lunch too often because he doesn't like three meals a day, and dinner is really good for the most part. It's very clean, very welcoming and very cozy. The big atrium really looks nice and they got a bistro right to the side near their dining room. People hang out there to have refreshments or snacks. It's a really nice setup. It looked very inviting. The events director is one of the best guys I've ever met. He does a wonderful job. They even have football parties when the NFL teams play. They'll have popcorn or wings or something like that. That's usually what they do during the sporting seasons. Value for money is very fair when you consider all the care. He's on level two care. They help them with certain things and his medication and the rent is all included. We checked several places previous to this, and they're right in. They're very competitive. It's very straightforward. Nothing's hidden. They tell you upfront what everything is."

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"I love Brookdale Lisle. The rooms were great. The food was great. They have a restaurant-type facility. It was very clean. There were lots of people walking around, and it looked like they were enjoying themselves. I liked the whole place. It was very nice. The staff I met was very nice. We got along well, and we talked a lot. It was a very upscale place. They have a nice menu. The room layouts were very nice. I like the fact that you could cook in your kitchen if you want to."

"I'm a resident of StoryPoint Naperville. It has a very homey atmosphere. I like the people here. The food is real good. In February, I'll be here 11 years. I wouldn't be here if I didn't like it. It's a very nice place to be. My apartment is adequate. It's plenty big enough for what I have here. It's a nice apartment. I have a living room, a bedroom, a large bathroom, a kitchen, and I've got a washer and dryer in the room, which I love. There's a lot of good things about it. There are different floor plans. I've been in the same one since I got here. We have a lot of activities. They have card games, different games, and socials. Especially on Fridays, a person comes in here and plays the piano. Everybody loves that. We will sit around and listen to him and then they have drinks and desserts. They have a nice front porch where you can sit in the good weather. I like the staff. They're very friendly and helpful. The food is very good. There's always something you can find to eat. I've been in different places where I've had therapy and there's no comparison with the food that we have here. I like it here. They'll take you to different stores, for scenic rides, to your appointments for doctors, to eat, and to church. The carpet is always clean. They keep things up real nice here."

"I thought Bickford was amazing! I spoke with Patrick who was very kind and compassionate as this is a very difficult decision to make. Bickford felt very homey, it was clean, and the staff was very friendly. It did not have that hospital or nursing home feeling at all. It's a place I can feel comfortable with caring for our mom."

"Sunnymere was clean. People were friendly. The rooms looked nice enough. It's not a five-star resort, but it looks very comfortable. The meals looked like they were good and they had a lot of activities. It looked like a place that my dad could maybe fit in and make some new friends. It's an older place. There might be some people who would say that it's not fancy enough or whatever, but it's homey looking. Everybody was friendly. I think it was Judy that was showing me around. Seemed like she knew what was going on. They went out of their way to make sure that they could give me a room that I felt my dad could be happy with. The grounds are beautiful. They have a new community room for activities and things, and that was really nice. Affordability was definitely the main concern for me, and I don't feel like I would be cutting corners putting my dad there just because it was the most affordable."
