Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale

The second choice for us is Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale. It is close to dialysis. They provide transportation, and it seems easy to transfer your doctor's care to their doctors. The staff who toured me was very friendly. She was helpful. She answered all of our questions and concerns. When we left there, we felt good about the place. They provide the amenities that we need, like laundry, meals, clean-up, and transportation. There are doctors there. There are nurses there, and they have a place for the residents to ride a stationary bike or walk on the treadmill.

My mom liked Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale. The rooms were bigger and she liked the location because she was raised around the area, so she feels more comfortable there. We visited their assisted living. It was very homey and clean, and we liked the size of the rooms. The person who assisted us was very, very informative. Her name was Christina, and she's really good. The dining area looked very good, it was clean, and the menu seemed fine. The place is near other shopping areas and they have a bus that would take the people to various places so we like that. I don't know exactly where they would take them, but they said they had a bus that would take people places. You can also drive and have a car if you want to.

What is Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale? (Part 2) October 19, 2020 It’s a supportive living community located at 285 East Army Trail Road, Bloomingdale, IL 60108. There have been some changes at this location. Sylvia has replaced Kristina at the front desk. Nothing has changed regarding the warm and smiling face greeting you with “Hi, may I help you?” as you enter the building. We lost Sandy, Jackie and Ron. Sandy was replaced by Kristina who is the Director of Sales and Marketing. Jackie was replaced by Miguel, now the Executive Chef. Ron was replaced by Adam as the Maintenance Director. As many other senior communities are experiencing COVID-19 cases, we at Aldens have been blessed, as of this writing, with none of our residents and staff getting the virus. We have a really great Executive Director, Gigi, who is following orders from the State of Illinois and Aldens, to keep us healthy and well. She keeps the staff up to date with all the rules and changes regarding this ups and downs about this terrible virus. Denise is always willing to take the time and help the residents with financial problems. Amy is the Director of Nursing and has three RNs on her staff. The CNAs are always helping us in and about the building, lunchroom, and apartment. It has been good to have Dr. Hasan back on location. Many of us have a need to have our feet taken care of, and Dr. Pastore does that every two months. Miguel heads up the lunchroom staff. As of this date, we are now back to having all three meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) in the dining room. Kelly handles the activities, which keeps her going all day. Adam heads up the maintenance. When you have a problem in your apartment, fill out a work order form at the front desk. He will get to it as soon as possible. As soon as its all clear to go back to normal ways, it will be good to have nurse Kim and her therapists back. The same is true of the beauty shop. Again, these are a few of the remarkable things that make us enjoy our stay at Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale. Thank you

Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale has an assisted living building and then right next door they have their nursing home, so if for some reason you need skilled nursing care, you can go right next door. I didn't see too much of the nursing home facility, but what I saw was very nice. The assisted living facility was fabulous. The director and all the staff knew everybody's name. They were interacting with the residents. The residents seemed very happy there. They had a calendar of events. Their apartments were a little smaller than the others, but they're very nice. The facility was very nice, very clean, and very organized.

What is Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale? It is located at 285 East Army Trail Road, Bloomingdale, IL 60108. When you first enter the building, there is a smiling face greeting you, Kristina: “Hi, may I help you?” She will steer you to Sandy, Denise or Gigi to help you. These individuals are very knowledgeable about this location. This five-story building is very clean. When walking the hall, you will see railings on both sides, in order to help us stay up. They really help. Ron heads up the maintenance department. Just remember to fill out a work order form at the front desk and he will always get to you to help you with your problems. The nursing staff consists of four outstanding RNs under the guidance of Amy. They are there when we fall in the hall, in the lunchroom or apartment. They also answer questions we may have about our medications. All of the CNAs are great with helping with walkers, wheel chairs and giving our medications. Some of us need assistance with personal grooming, bathing and dressing. There is also Home Health Agency located on the first floor. Nurse Kim and two therapists, one physical and occupational, have helped many residents with their rehab. Jackie heads up the lunchroom staff. The menus show good planning. We have so much to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There re no assigned seats and most of the residents are very courteous. Kelly has her hands full for heading up the activities. Just think: how would you like to try keeping close to ninety (90) residents busy, enjoying the days when it’s raining or snowing outside? She does a wonderful job with her staff. We have snacks for the residents that can be picked up at the front desk. Plus, there is a hospitality cart every Friday that goes to every floor. A beauty shop is located on the first floor and is for both men and women. You can check for time scheduled at the front desk. The trash room has bins for recyclable items and to throw the trash down the shoot. We have laundry rooms on the 2nd through 5th floors. These are a few of the remarkable thing that make us enjoy our stay at Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale.

My Mom has been resident for several months, this is a excellent facility! All staff are Cheerful and very caring . The activity directors are engaged and the food is delicious . I admit it was hard moving my MOM into a facility but she is so happy now and thriving with the excellent care she gets!

I have a dear friend in Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale, and I’ve been visiting her. I think it’s wonderful. My friend is very pleased, too. It’s the best one she’s been in. The cleanliness is wonderful; the activities are good, and the food is outstanding.

My mom loved living at Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale for the past four years. She was able to still have her independence, but there was always help there when she needed it. It gave all of us her family such peace of mind knowing she wasn't alone. The staff there was wonderful. They were very warm and patient with the elderly residents. The building was always clean and welcoming. The dining room always had such a nice variety of meals. There was always something going on if the residents wanted to join in. It allows them to be able to still interact with others instead of sitting alone. Aging is a difficult thing for all of us, but to know there are people who care is so wonderful. They do a great job at Alden Gardens.
