Independent Living Communities in Arlington Heights, IL

"It was very clean. I was impressed with the spaciousness of the area. The tables were not on top of each other. They were very articulate, knowledgeable, and polite. They knew their business. They're the best at following up with me. They gave me sample food to bring home, and it was very tasty."

"We had an in-person tour and it was very nice. The people seemed more of my cousin's age group. We thought the facility was way too large. They had a salon, an exercise room, and tons of activities. The facility was very clean. It seemed like they had a nice-sized room, but everything was in that one room. So, your bed was in the same room as your couch and TV. People were allowed to bring in their own furniture."

"My husband and I moved to Sedgebrook four years ago. We looked at several communities in the area and Sedgebrook felt like home. There’s a variety of activities and the residents and staff are eaten and friendly. I’m so glad to be here. Come join us!"

"The people were really nice. The accommodations and the rooms were a 5. They had everything. They had a physical therapy room, a library, and activities. I believe once a month, they have field trips for the residents there. They take them someplace. They were very good. As far as the rooms, they had the best rooms."

"I had to visit Vi at The Glen assisted living facility because years ago my friend's grandmother and a friend of mine was a resident here. This facility has a pretty pleasant living arrangement, in which people with special needs are provided with a wonderful care. The staff is very qualified and friendly. They were patient and helpful to answer questions and taking care of the patients. My friend's grandmother was very pleased. She got new friends in this place. It seemed like this kind of people can have a good time here. The food was pretty healthful and the activity schedule seemed pretty typical. The facility has good design. It's light and bright atmosphere . Bathrooms has safety seats and rails. The unit has good views. There's regular fitness classes, and recreational activities like walking clubs and golf outings to local courses. So i can recomend this facility for your old relatives "

"Belmont Village, a corporate chain with a few facilities in Illinois, provides a consistent and reputable product in upscale assisted living. The Glenview facility is located on a main road, geographically convenient for shopping, local hospitals, and businesses. It is located in a safe neighborhood, essentially in a business district. There is limited outdoor space and it is somewhat noisy due to the proximity to Golf Road, but residents and visitors are able to sit outdoors if they wish. The common areas in the building off nicely furnished, tastefully appointed sitting areas with varying degrees of privacy in multiple locations throughout the building, and most visitors choose to visit either in resident apartments or in one of the common areas, such as the bistro or the lobby area. The building, both the common area and the resident apartments, is always well maintained and in a neat and clean condition. Fixtures and furnishings both common areas and in resident rooms are somewhat upscale. Apartments are available in regular assisted living and also in differing dementia care programs that have the goal of being tailored to level of dementia the residents are afflicted with, so that residents are living on a care floor with others of similar functional level. Most apartments are private, single occupancy with a handful of shared or "companion" apartments available. The price points differ with the size of apartment and type of care, whether assisted living or dementia specific, the latter of which Belmont Village terms "Circle of Friends" and "Neighborhood". However, it is noted that there is not a seemingly endless list of a-la-carte add ons at Belmont Village, so the rate one is paying is not so difficult to figure out, and not so subject to fluctuation as at some other assisted livings. The food at Belmont Village is above average in presentation, quality, and taste, and almost always there is something on the menu for nearly everyone. While there is some modest turnover in direct care staff, it is no more than usual at other similar facilities. Most often there is enough staff to meet all resident needs, and care provided is consistently kind, caring and of high quality. "

"We chose Clarendale of Addison for my father because of the professionalism of the salesman, the beauty of the place, and most importantly, the location. It's 5 minutes from my house. Eric has been wonderful. He has answered all of my and my father's questions and he's been very responsive and has helped out in many ways, even going to measure one of the units my dad was interested in to make sure his furniture would fit. It's a one-bedroom, has a full kitchen, a den, and a good-sized bathroom with a washer and dryer, and pantry. They have different apartment types, but he's choosing the one with the den because he wants to have a desk. They have everything. They have an exercise room, a barber, a bar, and an activities room. They have all kinds of game rooms, a lovely restaurant, and a snack bar. It looks like a luxury hotel when you walk in. It's beautiful."

"My parents are in Brookdale Vernon Hills (Formerly The Park at Vernon Hills). It's very good, the environment is beautiful, and the service seems to be very caring. The apartments are lovely. They offer a variety of things like exercise classes and movies. The dining room is lovely, and the food is good. The public spaces are beautiful. "

"My aunt is moving here on Wednesday. We picked the facility for the bedroom and chapel, which holds, like, 200 people. This way, she can go to the 9:00 mass every day, and it gives her an activity, as well as all the other stuff that they provide. The facility looks nice, clean, and big."

"I toured Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes and was amazed at the professionalism of the people who greeted me. They knew their stuff. They're very good. The rooms had more of an older look, but they were bigger. Then they had a pool, a nice meeting area, and a private dining area for you where you can celebrate your birthdays. I enjoyed their food. Also, they were the facility that had the most veterans."

"Hearthwood Senior Living had a full range of services, from you know, three days a week meals if you wanted them, complete apartments of various sizes, and reasonable monthly rents or fees, and no entrance fee. That was a big deal. As many places do, they had craft rooms, a library, and a swimming pool. The staff was wonderful, and the people were active, very friendly, and welcoming. It's very clean, and they have a new owner, so they're undergoing a remodeling with new carpeting and new woodwork, and so forth. We toured for independent living, but it's a continuous care community, so there is a wing for rehab or for more assisted living if you need it."

"Concord Place was well staffed and had a lot of amenities, but it was old. The apartments were kind of small, not set up really nice, and a lot of them were still being remodeled because of how old they are. They had a pool, but it was shut down for some reason, a fitness area which quite a few people were using, and game areas that people used often. The menu was very good, and the food was quite good. They're contained in one building. There's no place to walk around. I guess it used to be an old hotel, so you're kind of contained to that place. The best thing about Concord is the staff. They had a good staff there, and the director was very nice. "

"The woman who took us on a tour was unbelievably kind, very positive, and very nice. Their amenities are not as high-end, they have cookies and cheese in the afternoon, and they're dog friendly. "

"I thought Autumn Green at Wright Campus was a very nice facility. I thought it was probably a notch below the one that I also visited. They provided meals, they had activities, and there were games so I liked it."
