Independent Living Communities in Joliet, IL

"The tour I had at Franciscan Village was very good. It was organized, and caring and had an overarching feeling of a faith community, which was very attractive to both my mom and myself. It just so happens that we're practicing Catholics so that was a connection. They have a chapel and they have mass every day and things like that that my mom liked. We saw an assisted living room and we thought it was very spacious and well thought out, especially the roll-in shower setup. The shower was very spacious and safe so there were no safety concerns for the individual going from a walker right into a standing or seated shower position. It was all flat. The room was very nice. Christine was my tour guide and she was very good. She deserves a good review. She knows her product. She knows the facility. She's been there for at least seven years and she did a great job. The product kind of speaks for itself. It's a very nice facility and it has a faith-based add-on that not all other assisted living and nursing care facilities have. So, the extra thing speaks for itself. She deserves a good review. She earned it and the place earned it, too. She's not selling anything. She's just showing you what it is."

"Living at Independence Village over the last year and a half has been great! I have made lots of friends here and I can be very independent. I still drive which keeps me active and my family is close to me here. I chose this community because it is family owned and it fits my needs. My family and I are happy with the decision and recommend it to others!"

"Sunnymere was clean. People were friendly. The rooms looked nice enough. It's not a five-star resort, but it looks very comfortable. The meals looked like they were good and they had a lot of activities. It looked like a place that my dad could maybe fit in and make some new friends. It's an older place. There might be some people who would say that it's not fancy enough or whatever, but it's homey looking. Everybody was friendly. I think it was Judy that was showing me around. Seemed like she knew what was going on. They went out of their way to make sure that they could give me a room that I felt my dad could be happy with. The grounds are beautiful. They have a new community room for activities and things, and that was really nice. Affordability was definitely the main concern for me, and I don't feel like I would be cutting corners putting my dad there just because it was the most affordable."

"I'm a resident of StoryPoint Naperville. It has a very homey atmosphere. I like the people here. The food is real good. In February, I'll be here 11 years. I wouldn't be here if I didn't like it. It's a very nice place to be. My apartment is adequate. It's plenty big enough for what I have here. It's a nice apartment. I have a living room, a bedroom, a large bathroom, a kitchen, and I've got a washer and dryer in the room, which I love. There's a lot of good things about it. There are different floor plans. I've been in the same one since I got here. We have a lot of activities. They have card games, different games, and socials. Especially on Fridays, a person comes in here and plays the piano. Everybody loves that. We will sit around and listen to him and then they have drinks and desserts. They have a nice front porch where you can sit in the good weather. I like the staff. They're very friendly and helpful. The food is very good. There's always something you can find to eat. I've been in different places where I've had therapy and there's no comparison with the food that we have here. I like it here. They'll take you to different stores, for scenic rides, to your appointments for doctors, to eat, and to church. The carpet is always clean. They keep things up real nice here."

"Hanover Place was a beautiful facility. The residents were tremendous. There were a few people in the lobby area, and everybody was friendly. The management team met me, and was quick to show me a unit, even without putting in an application. It's a wonderful experience. It's very quiet and very mature. It's really for seniors. They have some 50-something-year-old seniors, but mainly 62 and older. It's very, very clean. It's spotless and just tremendous. The landscaping is wonderful. It's serene and also quiet. There were beautiful birds everywhere (at least the day I went). Flowers bloomed, and it was just nice. We weren't even full into the summer yet, and they had flowers everywhere out there. It's in Tinley Park, and it is a beautiful town. The little appetizer that I got there was fresh and good. I could have split it with two people. That's how much it was. It was a lot. I had a little bag to take with me. They had a very friendly environment. There's nothing I wouldn't recommend about that place."

"I have toured Tinley Court for my dad and it was wonderful. It's older but very clean and very quaint, and the rooms were beautiful and also very clean. The person who gave me the tour, Jana, was wonderful and very helpful. Their dining area looked really good. When I got there, they were doing exercises as a group in the chairs, and it just seemed like a good community for the seniors."

"I love Brookdale Lisle. The rooms were great. The food was great. They have a restaurant-type facility. It was very clean. There were lots of people walking around, and it looked like they were enjoying themselves. I liked the whole place. It was very nice. The staff I met was very nice. We got along well, and we talked a lot. It was a very upscale place. They have a nice menu. The room layouts were very nice. I like the fact that you could cook in your kitchen if you want to."

"My sister in law has been a resident since 2015. At first she was hesitant about moving there. She meet with staff and one of the lovely residents and has happily been living there since. She has found a second home where she has been enjoying life. The staff are all like family to her and us. She receives the best of care , great meals ,entertainment and great friendships among the other residents. My wife and I are more than happy to have found a great place like Jennings."

"We toured Monarch Landing. It was excellent. The food was excellent. It was very safe and resort-like. The staff was Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They have all levels of care there. I know they just won an award as best in Illinois for skilled care, so that was also a good thing."

"We chose Victory Centre of Sierra Ridge for Dad because they take Medicaid. Everything seemed fine. It's clean. Ashley was fantastic. They have arts and crafts and games. They have a whole room with various activities. The eating area was clean, and the people seemed to be enjoying the food. The room that they showed me was very nice. I think my dad will be very happy there. They have physical therapy and other things that I think will be beneficial to him."

"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."

"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."

"Covenant Living at the Holmstad was a beautiful facility. Not only the building itself, but the landscaping was very large and beautiful. There were lots of places for residents to be able to walk. They had gardens and trees. It's the most beautiful place I've seen with a price to match. They request a large deposit and then monthly charges, which could increase yearly. There are no meals at all. The salespeople were extremely nice. It's just we can't afford it."
