Arden Courts of Northbrook

Arden Courts of Northbrook was a really excellent place for Alzheimer's patients. The rooms were small but nice and clean. The staff that I met seemed very professional and very caring. They had sing-alongs. There were small dining areas in four different wings, so that the patients don't have to go far to eat. The staff know the patients and the patients know the staff. They're comfortable because they know where they are and what they're supposed to be doing, which is important for Alzheimer's patients.

I do have my wife in Arden Courts. Why did I pick this place? Partly because of all information I received from it and the feedback I got from other people who used it, saying they were very pleased with it, so I thought that it was a very good place. The staff is very good. We're really happy with the staff. They are very caring and very concerned. They're very good. My wife is really well cared for. Food is very adequate. It is very good. They do a lot of games. They have programs. They bringing people in for concerts. They do different kinds of word games as well as bean toss and a number of other kinds of games. They have music and movement kinds of things. They do walking. There is a variety of activities. What I like best about this place? I think it is the personality and the care that my wife receives there. She seems very content. I would recommend Arden Courts, certainly!

We visited the Arden Courts facility as a possibility for our great aunt to live in. We were immediately struck by the charming way that the structure was designed. It really seems like a country inn that you might find on a lane outside of the city. Yet, it is convenient to Chicago as a suburb. Our great aunt has early on-set Alzheimer's so we were impressed that the facility seems to bear in mind that some of its residents may have that challenge. Its secure location is pleasant and easy to navigate. The staff does regular rounds all around the grounds to ensure the safety of the residents. This is very important to us. The food we sampled was acceptable, but nothing really stood out. Having been spoiled at a number of city located facilities that mirror 4 and 5 star restaurants, we could see that the type of meal that Arden Courts provides would most likely never approach those other places. There was nothing bad about the food; it was simply not extraordinary in any way. There is an adequate variety of activities, however, if someone really needs a lot of stimulation such as what you might find in the city, this place would not suit their needs. But for someone looking more toward quality and level of care, Arden Courts would certainly fit the bill. We are still making our decision, and because of the high level of care, it is on our list to consider. At this stage, we are evaluating the level of our great-aunt's dementia, to determine if she needs this level of care at point this time.
