Independent Living Communities in Geneva, IL

"I loved StoryPoint Naperville, but my in-laws were not interested. I would have given them a five on everything. I didn't have food. I had hot cocoa there, but I thought they were excellent. The facility itself was very upscale. They had a shuttle that ran regularly that would take you anywhere in a ten-mile radius and with their location, that would be anywhere in the Naperville area, basically. I was impressed that of all the places we went to, this was the easiest to get out and about and around to whatever doctor's visits you needed or anything you wanted or any shopping that you wanted to do. My dad is worried about losing his driver's license and they had the best shuttle. It was a very upscale place and they didn't insist on a crazy entrance fee. If you need to move, they also have assisted living and skilled care onsite. If you would ever need to leave, that gave you some flexibility that the others didn't have. I thought it was an excellent facility and very nicely done. It had excellent staff. I couldn't say enough about it. It was clean and well-organized. I liked it a lot. I liked it because you could get out and about where the others sort of tried to provide everything right there onsite. We looked at independent living. I think one of the downsides there was they didn't have a two-bedroom apartment available that we could see and my in-laws were very interested in a two-bedroom apartment, and they were afraid of it being a smaller thing."

"My dad moved into The Atrium at Oak Crest Residence. The people that work there have been really great. They're friendly. Whenever I had issues or things I needed to bring up, they addressed it right away. So, it's also relaxed. And they're always making sure that my dad is getting involved with stuff. He's not just sitting in his room. So, it feels like a small community. It's not a huge facility, so it feels like everybody knows everybody and they know what's going on. And I can talk to whomever, so I think it's been good. The facility is clean. There's an older part and a newer part, and it's well taken care of. But it's not like fancy or anything. So, it's a very basic place, which is fine. It's what my dad needed. So, if you're looking for something fancier, this isn't the place, but it is a good basic facility. It has a comfortable and laid-back atmosphere."

"Our mom was lucky to have her first step into community living be at Independence Village. From the moment we met with Nathan we felt like we had found mom’s new home. Nathan was there for us every step of the way as we got her settled in and beyond. Jim and Linda were always so caring and helpful as well. The entire staff at Independence Village is truly amazing. Mom was treated as family right from the start, as were her six kids. We felt so comfortable with her living at the Village; we knew her needs were being met the whole time she was living there. When extra health services were needed, they were easily added with a qualified, helpful and kind staff. The Village is family-owned, which is a huge bonus and has a lifetime rate, so there is never a worry of rent going up every year. The residents seem happy, content and are very well cared for. They are respected and loved. Independence Village has wonderful activities and events planned that keep the residents engaged, fosters a sense of community, and brings them so much joy. Our mom and our family will be forever grateful for the time she lived at Independence Village."

"Brookdale Glen Ellyn was very nice, clean, and well-appointed. The dining facilities looked very nice. The pool and exercise facility were nicely appointed. The room that I was looking at was spacious enough for my needs. Tim, who gave me the tour, was very thorough in his explanation, so I was able to understand all the ins and outs of living there. There were lots of activities to be partaken in, both in the facility and outside the facility."

"We toured Brookdale Lisle's independent living for our father-in-law. Our salesperson, who's also the person who gave us the tour, was very nice. She answered all of our questions, showed us everything, and a couple of rooms. She showed us a studio and a one-bedroom, the ones we were interested in. She also showed us their nursing station and all their amenities. She was very pleasant and we enjoyed having the tour with her. They had a pool for exercising, a library, and a fitness room. They have a little garden outside and a garden group if you want to go gardening. It seemed like they had activities throughout the day, too. Their dining room was very clean and very nice. They had a little outside patio in the summertime. They put tables and umbrellas out there if you wanted to eat outside, and that was nice. The room we saw seemed very clean. The people we saw seemed happy to be there. There was a room where people got together and played board games. We saw a few people doing that and people exercising in the exercise room. It was a pretty big facility, and it was very clean. My father-in-law was pleasantly surprised. He said it was a lot nicer than he thought it would be, and I agree with him. We might be going back because they have happy hours every Friday, so my father-in-law kind of wanted to go to one to meet more people to kind of help make up his mind."

"In 2024 I lost my husband unexpectantly and was living alone in a large house in Schenectady, NY. It had stairs I had fallen on twice when my husband was alive. My two children live in Chicago and were afraid of me falling again and getting hurt or getting sick and having no family close by. My closest siblings were two hours away. After looking at Brookdale Hoffman Estates and other senior communities near Chicago, Illinois, I decided Brookdale would be my new home. During the tour I saw residents socializing and using the amenities. When I moved in I was greeted warmly by staff and residents. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Many of the residents helped my first days be comfortable. I met so many residents and became friends with some. I did not know what to expect and was pleasantly pleased it was above my expectations. My two-bedroom apartment is comfortable and is what I was looking for. Staff listen and try to accommodate residents' requests. Everyone I meet is friendly including residents, staff and visitors. People from all walks of life and from many states live here. They say they like living here. Many stories are similar to mine. It is good to be around people who understand what I have been going through since my husband's death. I love the beautiful grounds and manmade pond with a fountain and walkway around it. My cat and small dog are adjusting well. I would recommend Brookdale Hoffman Estates to anyone looking for a senior community because that is what Brookdale is, a community."

"We chose Lexington Square of Lombard for the location because it's closer to most of us compared to some of the others that I looked at, and they are all very caring people. I like their tenure. Most of the staff has been there for quite some time and that was important to me because my cousin is in memory care, and I wanted to make sure that the staff knew how to deal with memory care. Safety is pretty good. I have to have a passkey to go in and to get out. They don't let just anybody in. The residents aren't able to get on the elevator on their own. I like the fact that the residents all wear a little beeper to page a nurse if need be. She has indicated that the food was very good. I like the variety. She is diabetic, and they are paying attention to that, so I thought that was great. There are things that she doesn't like, but I didn't see anybody complaining. They seem to be keeping her quite busy. They have her up and dressed every day. She's always doing something. The facility is very pleasant, very homey, and very clean. Everybody just seems very comfortable there."

"I visited Encore Village of Schaumburg. The staff was great. It was a pretty nice place. I had no problem. It was clean and convenient to get around. Everything was right there. You didn't have to walk them out to get here and there. The patio was clean and beautiful."

"I did an in-person tour of Clarendale of Addison's independent living. The lady who did the tour was very good and very thorough. I was very impressed with the facility. It was very nice and clean. Everybody I've seen in the independent living part seems to be very much in tune with everything and a very friendly group. All in all, I thought it was a very good experience."

"Sunrise at Fountain Square was very nice. There were lots to see. They're very active over there, which is great. There were lots to do if you wish to take part. One of the cooks came in when we were in one of the rooms, introduced himself, and welcomed us. The staff during the tour was great. It was clean."

"Our tour experience with Huntley Springs Retirement Community was excellent. It's basically apartment living where you have your own individual apartment and a key to the door. I felt that the cost was reasonable for what you get, because they include absolutely everything. There's absolutely nothing that you have to pay for other than if you want to do something extra outside of the community. The facilities and the apartments were just beautiful. They have guest apartments, so if you had visitors they could reserve one of those, which I think is amazing. The activities were incredible. They have clubs and nice dining rooms. If you have a dog, you have to be on the first floor, and you have a walk out patio, which was important to me. The only concern that I had was, because it is on a piece of property that is set way back from the main road, everything around them was open. So someday, I know people are going to buy their property and I don't know what's going to be there. I don't want to be looking at the backside of a strip mall someday, but as far as the facility itself, it's very good. They have a workout room and they do chair volleyball and things like that. They have a concierge available 24 hours a day. Overall, I would highly rate the place. If you were someone that was looking to live in an apartment setting, basically that's what it is. Everybody was very friendly and knew each other. Even the maintenance people were very nice."

"The Roosevelt at Salt Creek is my number 1 pick, but I can't get a room with a laundry room in it. You have to go down the hall like you're at a laundromat, and I just can't do that. Nevertheless, I like everything about it. I would see people in the hallway, and they were very friendly. The marketing people were very well-versed, cooperative, and attentive. They don't have a nursing section for later on, and I just want to make one move. They offered a free lunch the day we were there. They also offered to work with me on the rent. They were remodeling at that time, but the units I visited were very clean, and the dining room was lovely and clean. I love the fact that they have an indoor pool. Swimming is important to me, but that's not a deal breaker because I know most places don't have a swimming pool. However, that was an extra advantage from my standpoint."

"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."
