Independent Living Communities in Geneva, IL

"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."

"I live at Independence Village and am very happy here. The food is good, we have good activities. I love my apartment and my view is the courtyard."

"I'm at Brookdale Glen Ellyn. I'm a resident along with my husband. I think it's a great place. My husband and I have been here almost two years now, and they have everything that we would want. They have nice meals and good food. We have bus service. We just came back from a musical in the courtyard here, and we like it here. The staff members are very courteous, kind, and nice. Every time we ask a question, we have it answered right away, or they say they'll get back to us and they do so within 24 hours. I asked them to help me to set up a new TV and they were Johnny-on-the-spot. They're great. The people are great. We've made a lot of new friends here. It's a little pricey, but we're getting along all right. We like it here."

"My family member lived there for 8 years. The apartment was very nice & spacious. The food was very good. Concerns for Resident safety was very good. Very clean. The glitches seemed to be with a few select employees, who weren't very kind Overall, though, employees were kind, helpful, and understanding, as was Management. During the Coverage d lockdown, the information was ongoing & helpful. It would've been nice to have different hours to participate in things like window visits. Not everyone works 9-5, Monday-Friday. "

"The Woodlands at Canterfield was beautiful. The apartments were fine, clean, nice, and brand new. We met with several people and they were all very nice and professional. They had a bunch of games going. It's brand new so there were not that many people there yet. We saw people in the lunchroom and it looked very nice. The dining area was beautiful. I didn't eat there. My brother and my mom ate there and they said the food was excellent. We met with several different people and overall everybody was great, but some were better than others."

"I toured. I have nothing bad to say about it actually. It was beautiful. The girl that took me on the tour was just fantastic. It's really more like a resort type atmosphere. It was just fabulous. I have no complaints. It's where I was trying to get my parents to go. It was fantastic. The staff was just amazing and so nice. It felt like vacation every day there. The residents seemed happy and the staff. As she was touring, she did not encounter anyone that she didn't know what their first name was. She was fabulous. They have a gym, a salon, a gorgeous backyard with a walking track, a pond, and a nice party room if you wanted it. They had physical therapy in the lower level. It was great."

"I visited for my parents-in-law. It's been in the community forever. It's a wonderful facility but one of the reasons why we didn't select it is because it was more expensive and their doctor does not visit there. They have very nice rooms and I don't think they need to improve on anything."

"Clarendale of Addison was very nice. They were brand new and a little smaller. They overlooked pretty much just parking lots and cement, but facilities were close by. They had an exercise room. They certainly had a dining room, which was lovely. They had a cafe in between. They had a flooding problem that they were fixing. It was brand new and looked nice."

"We visited Sunrise at Fountain Square. I did not like the rooms there nor the programs for Mom. They had studio-type apatments. When I visited, the staff was very nice, but I did not see much staff on the floor. They did not have as many rooms available at the time I was looking. "

"I feel very comfortable with the atmosphere because it is so relaxing and fun-filled. The food is delicious and nutritious. They even have a Senior Executive Chef. The staff truly makes you feel very much at home . They even resolve any questions or concerns in a timely manner. "

"The Roosevelt at Salt Creek has a continuum of care. They're under massive renovations. It's not an old building, and the units are nice. We saw a two-bedroom, and it was very clean. They have multiple amenities and two meals a day included in your fee. They are a rental community, not a purchase or buy-in community. We met several of the residents, and the person who gave the tour was very friendly, very personable, and very thoughtful. We thought that when she was giving us the tour, she had our needs in mind. They have an indoor pool. They're getting a new restaurant. Every floor will have a lounge area that is being updated. They have a private dining room, a wine cellar, and exercise rooms. Depending on your needs, you can a la carte any kind of care you want. It was a very nice place. Nothing that's a deal breaker. When we met some residents, my first question to them was, what's the food like? They all said that the food is good. They just had a new chef, and they have a restaurant, and your food is restaurant-quality. There's a food board of residents, along with the chef and the management, to determine what will be in the rotation."

"I was really, really impressed with American House Cedarlake. The rooms seemed particularly generous, and they had a more secure area for those people who need a little bit more security and needed to be watched over more closely. They have independent living, which is what we were looking for. They let the people decorate the outside of their doors to make it their own place. It wasn't gaudy, and it allowed them to make their door a little bit more distinguished, like it was their own home, and it maybe let other people more easily find their door. After all, it is like walking into a hotel, because all the doors look the same. It was on a relatively large campus; I had to drive down a good-sized drive, like maybe half a mile or more, to get to the building. I like the woman there very much. She was in marketing. She had been a consultant so she was familiar with the facility. They also gave me an American apple pie, and it was a delicious pie. I like this one more because the grounds were very generous, and my mom is much more of a country person. The rooms were really generous, too, with lots of closets, and everybody had a washer and dryer. We walked a lot during our tour. It seemed like there were multiple buildings that were connected through a variety of different hallways. It felt like a large facility to me. You didn't feel constrained, and it was all very roomy. The staff I met was very conversational. She was very helpful, and because she'd had some personal experience when her dad had been in the facility, she was able to provide a great perspective. She also recommended that I look into if the VA can give any support. I thought that it was amazing that she provided me with some financial possibilities, which I appreciated. I asked her to show me independent living, so that's where she took me, but she also showed me the security and the areas for the other homes for the ones who need a little bit more oversight. I liked this particular place because it looked like they had table service in their dining room. Around two or three in the afternoon, you could just kind of go down and have a little snack. I don't want to call it a happy hour, but it was almost like a bistro kind of thing where you could just pick up your sandwiches and stuff. They also try to make sure that people come out of their rooms, so even though they delivered food, they would only leave it at the bistro. You had to at least come out and pick it up there, which I thought was a clever idea because some people never get out of their rooms."

"My husband and I liked The Grand Victorian of Sycamore. When we first looked there, we liked the place. It was clean. It was pleasant. We liked the rooms that they had there. They were nice and spacious. The care was there. I don't think the cost of it was that bad. It was within standard reason of the cost of any assisted living facility. The landscaping was good. Security was good. We had no complaints about it. The structure was pleasant. They had the cafeterias, eating area, and the lounging areas were nice. The decor was pleasant. It was more of like green and white color-type stuff. They had a patio out in the back and it was nice. We had a comfortable feeling when we went in there. The staff that we met was pleasant, very informative, and answered all of our questions to our satisfaction, cost wise and services available and rooms and things like that. They're extremely pleasant, and they seemed to be caring for the people that were there. It's not oversized. I don't know how many residents they have there, but it wasn't overly packed. It wasn't at a point where it was uncontrollable as far as having too many patients there. We're really satisfied with them. They had plenty of activities there for the seniors who wanted to get involved in them. The structure was very pleasant to see and be in."
