Independent Living Communities in Homer Glen, IL

"I selected Clarendale of Mokena. I am happy in Assisted Living here! "

"I moved my mom back home from Florida and was amazed with StoryPoint Memorycare. What a difference from where she was at in Florida. She has a corner room that I just love. She has made friends and is happy. StoryPoint does activities and I know they are trying to do even more and they go on trips. Yes, they take road trips. Bless their hearts. Can't please everyone but they sure do try, no place is perfect. I'm so glad to have my mom back home. "

"Victory Centre was nice, but it's too far to go back and forth. It was clean, and the people were nice and friendly. They gave us a tour, and they only had studios. My mother had to have a one-bedroom apartment. "

"Solstice Senior Living at Joliet is really nice because I'd been here like three or four times before I actually moved in, and they showed me around. Every time we come, the people here are very friendly and say hi and everything like that. It seems like a really nice community, so I like it. The room I have is really nice. It's got a balcony, and I have a nice view out the window. I like it. It's like moving into your own apartment. It is totally independent because there's one of those hotel-sized refrigerators. They said that if you want to bring in your own refrigerator, you can. They said small appliances are okay. However, you can't bring in a stove because you get your meals here three times a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All you have to do is go down to the dining room. If you don't feel like going down there, you can order your food, and they'll put it in a package for you to bring up to your room. They will personally deliver the food to your rooms, but that's only three times in a month that they would do that. Other than that, you can go downstairs, or you can just call and go pick it up. The dining room is beautiful. My son said it makes them think of a cruise ship. The marketing lady, when we were talking about this, said that's the way it is styled. She said if you were to look at the whole building from up high, it is fashioned like a cruise ship. My room is on the second floor. They have balconies, so you can look down directly into the dining room, and it kind of gives you that openness. It's not like you feel like you're closed in. The dining room is so big, and it has that openness to it, so it makes you feel comfortable. They have different-sized rooms. It's really nice. There is a housekeeper who comes every Thursday, and she is really nice. The whole staff is really nice. The place is clean. It's unbelievable. When we were walking around, I noticed this special scent going throughout the building. It smelled like flowers. My daughter-in-law has a sensitive nose to perfumes and stuff, and she said this did not bother her. She said it was pleasant, and she liked it. They have a library, which is down the hall from me. They have a pool table, game tables, puzzles, and they give you a calendar for the month, and it tells you what they're doing that day. Most of the time, it's at least three or four or five different things that they're doing. They have a bus, that if you want to go shopping, they'll take you shopping. They will take you to doctors' appointments. There are several stores that they will take you to. The only thing they don't provide is Wi-Fi. They give you one of those call buttons that you wear around your neck, so if you have any problems that you need emergency help, you can push the button. That's included in the amount you pay. They give each resident one of these. If you press it, it alerts the main desks. The bathroom is a walk-in. Mine has a little lift that you can just walk into the tub. It has bars on the walls for safety. That's important to me. They also have a handheld shower thing."

"Brookdale Lisle was a larger facility with friendly people and nice amenities. It was not a high-rise community, so the grounds and apartments were very nice. I liked everything about it. They had a very nice restaurant, too. This place was a little fancy, like a hotel. The residents seemed happy. "

"We have chosen American House Cedarlake. We like the location and their apartments. It was a fairly easy choice in a way. It was a much nicer location. The staff members were personable. The food wasn't gourmet, but it was fine, especially for a person like me who is losing their taste anyway."

"Everything that we saw at Autumn Green at Midway Village was fine. The apartments were beautiful and spacious. The hospitality on our tour was very good. Melissa was a great hostess. They offered us lunch, but the food was kind of bland. They had a courtyard, a library, a game room, a dining room, and a theater."

"Timbers of Shorewood was great. Everything was fabulous. The only thing is it couldn't meet my dad's needs at that time. They had great facilities. Cleanliness and everything looked great, too. They were very knowledgeable and very helpful."

"We are now residents of Independence Village. I love everything. One of the things I appreciate the most is the healthcare. They take my husband's blood pressure and they come right in on their own. I love that. I like everything about it. The food is fabulous. The people are wonderful. The nurses are amazing. The staff can't help you enough; they're just fabulous. It is the best place I have ever lived. I'm happy to be here and so is my husband. It is just so amazing. They're just the best. The whole place is wonderful; the people are wonderful. You feel like you're at home."

"The British Home (Cantata Adult Life Services) is very well-maintained on the interior. It's very well-organized and clean. The staff was exceptional in getting my aunt placed there. The food is acceptable. They have a beauty parlor, interactive sessions, arts and crafts, and outings."

"Lexington Square was a wonderful place, but it’s a bit expensive. It had a swimming pool and many activities, and the rooms were bigger. "

"After living at StoryPoint as an independent resident for over 2 years, Mom needed to move to Memory Care. The Memory Care unit is small and well-staffed. The staff are excellent, very helpful and capable. They know how to work with residents with dementia and other needs. It is difficult work. The staff are dedicated. I am so grateful to them. That includes the front desk, facilities, and administrative staff, too. StoryPoint is the best place for my mom. "

"I moved to The Roosevelt at Salt Creek. I chose it because of its location. The rooms are large and completely reconditioned. They have activities, but I haven't been yet. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. The food is very good. They keep the facilities clean. For the value, I'm thinking that I am paying a little bit more."

"We were pretty impressed with Brookdale Glen Ellyn in terms of its physical setup and the attitudes of the residents and staff. We felt that it would be a good fit for us. We liked the apartment which was a two-bedroom. They offer things like housekeeping and food services, the usual stuff. I saw their dining room. They also have what they call a bistro. The community was well laid out, clean, and they have different things that we thought were pretty nice, like the beauty shop and hobby room."
