Independent Living Communities in Huntley, IL

"It is a very nice place, but it is a buy-in. I'm not interested in that. I am very impressed with it though. The rooms are adequate. They have activities, but they are not anywhere near what I have outside the community. They have a very small library and a craft room. The food is excellent."

"I moved in, and I was extremely impressed. It's absolutely beautiful and 10 minutes from my granddaughter and 25 minutes from my grandson. The people are so warm, friendly, and I couldn't ask for anything more. I have a beautiful studio apartment. I love it; it's perfect for me, but they also have one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. My apartment has a lovely kitchen with a dishwasher and cabinets, and it's a little smaller than a one-bedroom but much larger than an executive efficiency. They go out to dinner, casino, and movies, and we had a beautiful reception outside by the lake. I'm very pleased."

"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."

"Greenfields is a relatively new facility that has great facilities and looks nice. It recently changed ownership and some improvements in dining have resulted. There have, however, been more than a few broken pipes/flooded areas incidents, most recently causing one dining room to be out of service for a few weeks and several residents to be displaced from their apartments for several months. In addition, some residents have also been without access to a tv signal and therefore unable to watch tv for over two weeks."

"My mom has been placed here. It is an independent living facility, but they also have assisted living and full care. They even have a lockdown section, but my mom is on the independent side right now with her own apartment. She can come and go as she pleases, but they have a necklace pendant that she can press if she either gets lost or gets hurt on one of their trails. There's a ton of activities, and they take her off-site as well, if she wants to go, but they have a lot of stuff on-site. They have a fitness center. They also have drama and games, like bingo. One of the things that she found the most helpful and she really loved is they have game night, where they do either a family feud or password to speed the residents' minds at work. It's just fun to watch her because she tells you when she gets the answers right. There are people right there if she needs help or if she just wants to visit with other residents. She's not dependent on someone to drive her to a senior community center to go to an event. She just goes downstairs and the events are right there."

"My dad will be moving into Solstice Senior Living at Palatine. The person who took us on our tour was very helpful and friendly. Everyone in there was friendly. The place was clean. It smelled nice. It had all of the amenities we were looking for. When we left our tour, we got a thank you card and that just showed that they really care. They provide transportation. They provide meals. They provide laundry like washing your bed sheets, and they clean once a week. Everything is taken care of. They have a gym, a salon, and areas for the residents to hang out. I saw some of the residents walking down the hallway and they were smiling. They were friendly as well."

"I liked the comprehensive services available from every stage of care for life at The Holmstad. There are extensive facilities available to keep them as interested and busy as much as they want to participate in a good quality of life. It was one of the best places close to my home. They remodel every room before the resident moves in so it was like moving in to a brand new place for my mom. "

"We did a face-to-face tour at The Grand at Twin Lakes. It was very good. I liked it very much. I liked the small size. There are a number of independent living places in this area where I am right now, but they're so big with 800 residents, and I'm not interested in them. The lady that I talked to was excellent and did a very good job. The apartments were similar to others that I've seen. What's nice about this place is it's fairly new. It was a hotel at one time. They redid it to accommodate the independent living. They have either studio or one-bedroom apartments, and the one-bedrooms were nice. The grounds were very pretty. There was a nice outdoor area where you could sit and walk around."

"The immediate feeling of this facility was that the location was optimal for our family and the grounds were well kept and relaxing. This was especially important for my grandmother's often day to day condition and the relaxing atmosphere facilitated more "good" days than "bad" and made her "bad" days less severe. The staff was knowledgeable and very accommodating, showing my family every aspect of their facility showing fully transparency of their operations. We immediately felt safe and welcome amongst the staff and fellow residents who seemed in good spirits and well cared for. We were shown the rooms, dining facilities, recreation areas and, most importantly, their state of the art medical facilities, which was an important concern for us. Our only minor complaint was that the room appointments were rather bare, but with a little tender love and care could be made more comfortable for my grandmother who has always been use to a very homely atmosphere.

"Clarendale of Addison was brand new and very nice. It was a little bit further out of our intended area. My wife didn't care for the floor plan of the kitchen area in the apartment that we looked at. They have activities like field trips, they have a hobby shop, and a bunch of other stuff. The staff was very nice and helpful, they answered all our questions, and sat down with us individually."

"My husband and I went to see it first, and then we took my sister-in-law back to see it. It was a good experience, but she chose the other place over Addolorata, and I am not sure why. I liked the fact that it was a religious institute, and when we went during the week, it was a very positive experience. "

"My wife liked Sedgebrook as they had larger rooms. They have a big bed and lot of furniture. The staff was very nice but the place cost a fortune to get into. You don’t rent the unit nor buy it, you lease it. You give them a huge loan and they keep until you die or move away and then you get 90% of that loan back. Then you pay a monthly fee on top of it. We had several meals there and the food is very good. They only give you one meal a day and you can pick whatever meal that is, most people pick dinner. The food is great I can’t complain about that. They got many activities and that’s another reason we picked the place, They have everything under the sun. If I like to sing they have a choir. They have lectures, game rooms and exercise rooms. "
