Independent Living Communities in Huntley, IL

"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."

"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 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."

"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. "

"The Village at Victory Lakes is very clean, the food is excellent, and the service is really good. However, I feel that they need to have more staff. It is an excellent place. My dad is just there for rehab. "

"Jennings Terrace is a very special place. My mom is there and she is 100 years old. She lives on the independent living side, but she is surrounded by people who care for her and love her for who she is. It’s not the kind of place that wants to gouge you. It’s the kind of place that sincerely cares about people. The staff is exceptional at what they do and exceptional at understanding people from different walks of life. They are able to have compassion for my mom and her health or mental health difficulties that we all have at times throughout life. I am so thankful that my mom is at Jennings Terrace. There are a lot fancier places, but I don’t think there is more skill or care or compassion in those places. This is home for my mom and she is happy there. We decorated her room and she loves it. She goes and sits out by the big cozy fireplace and watches a movie with other residents when the weather is cooler. And, when we walk in are usually greeted by someone who gives us a smile or a group of people playing games and laughing in the game room. This is home for my mom and I am so thankful to Esther Daphne, Diana, Keosha, Diane and all the other staff members that I haven’t named that make sure that things run smoothly. I live out of state and I know my mom is cared for, and it means so much!"

"Generations at Oakton Arms was probably smaller than the other place. I would say probably the size of the facility was better. It was not too big. What I liked least about it was that it needed some updating. The staff was very friendly and very approachable. They offer independent, assisted living, and memory care. They have a lot to offer. And the nice thing about that place is that they transfer you automatically. If you are in independent living, they will send you right next door to the assisted living, and they do that right there in-house, which is nice."

"We went to Sunnymere, and the person who gave us the tour was very helpful. The place itself was to my liking. It's gloomy inside, but the couple of residents I spoke to seemed very happy there. I saw their activity room, where they were getting ready for a Valentine's Day-themed party for the residents. I saw a calendar with the activities throughout the day and for the month. We saw a couple of rooms, and they had a shared washroom, which I wasn't too pleased with."

"The staff were very friendly. Everyone seemed very happy, not only the staff but the residents. There are smiles on their faces. Most of them were engaged in an activity. The rooms were nice sized, not overly spacious, but just enough. They had a nice little kitchenette, a nice-sized bedroom, and a bathroom. The dining area looked comfortable. It had tables all setup. The menu looked good and had nice options. It's more like a restaurant. The indoors were very nice. Everything's good and very comfortable. They had mahjong and bingo and one was sitting in the library at that time."

"Lexington is very nice and neat. Everything was good, but they're probably the most understaffed. "
