Independent Living Communities in Naperville, IL

"Brookdale Glen Ellyn was very nice, clean, and well-appointed. The dining facilities looked very nice. The pool and exercise facility were nicely appointed. The room that I was looking at was spacious enough for my needs. Tim, who gave me the tour, was very thorough in his explanation, so I was able to understand all the ins and outs of living there. There were lots of activities to be partaken in, both in the facility and outside the facility."

"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."

"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."

"I toured American House Cedarlake. The units are the same. They're different sizes, but they're the same. It's the level of care that you get that makes a difference. My kids think I should go to assisted living, and that sounds reasonable. I like the unit they showed me. It's very clean and pleasant. The assisted and independent living people mix, and they have two dining rooms, but they often eat together. It's a very pleasant place. The staff during the tour was very nice. The woman who showed us around had been in touch with my daughter until they could schedule an appointment. And then any others we met going around the building were very pleasant, and the people who lived there were too. It was confusing the first time I went through it, but it's reasonable."

"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."

"I'm a resident of StoryPoint Romeoville. I like everything. I'm really impressed with the dining. The dining is super but it's also what I have a complaint about. For instance, I don't know who takes care of their inventory, but this morning they ran out of creamer for the coffee and they ran out of the jelly for your toast. They have a sweet roll you can have as a dessert with your breakfast, and they ran out of those. Every day, they're running out of something. A couple of days ago, they ran out of bananas. I think somebody should be in charge of inventory and when you get down to x, you should reorder. The food is excellent, and there's a good variety. They have two stations, and they have a nurse in each one. I'll go out there sometimes, and there's none of them. I always think there should be one nurse on duty because what if somebody calls or having a heart attack? There's nobody manning the nurse's station. That's my other complaint, but overall, I'm impressed. It's run pretty smoothly except for those items I just mentioned. I've got a cooking stove, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher in the kitchen, and they work fine. I don't use them much, being an assisted living. I have a couple of frozen pizzas in the freezer. They have a lot of activities. They've got card games, Bridge, nickel, left, right, center and bingo about four times a week, which is very good. It always has a good turnout. Every Friday, they show movies which are good. I wish they had a bigger selection on Fridays, but there's one I particularly want to see, it's called Pearl Harbor, and they said they can't because they don't subscribe to whatever it's on. They've got sitting areas, and they've got a flower garden that people can sit by. In fact, we've got one lady that is hatching butterflies in the creamery and when they hatch and they're ready to be released, they release them in the garden, which is very nice. They're very good, cooperative and caring for the people that are here."

"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."

"My mother will be moving into GreenFields of Geneva. We chose it mostly because of the location. It's very close to one of my other siblings. She'll be going to memory care. I like that there was a separate dining area like each area was separate. It looked like a smaller dining space for memory care and the unit itself was in a U-shape. They have nursing staff available 24 hours a day. The staff during the tour was great. She gave us a lot of information, was upfront, and has helped us through this process as we are starting the move. What they had to offer in terms of activities and the availability of physical therapy and speech therapy is five stars. We have to have a doctor prescribe that, but it's nice that it could be onsite."

"We toured Hearthwood Senior Living. I liked the place, but my mom needs more care than independent living. We had a fantastic tour, and that was a fantastic community, but a little expensive for my mom. She would not have been able to get the care she needed there at this time in her life. The person I met with was great. The cleanliness and the layout were great."

"My grandmother moved into Concord Place last week. The biggest reason why we chose it was the cost. Her costs increase slightly as she needs more help. It's a nice place. The people are very nice there. She likes it. They have a pool. They have different activities there. They have a workout facility and a theater. It's also 10 minutes from where I work, so that's convenient for me to be able to go over there if she needs anything. We had two meals there, and the food was very good. The building's cleanliness is very good, too. They have activities. My grandmother played bingo, and they had a dance. She had a good time."

"I toured Marian Village. They were a little less expensive, but the place itself just seemed so vibrant, alive, energetic, and bright. The place seemed very new and very updated. When you walked in, you were welcomed by the person at the front desk. The price, I think we could handle. The tough part is they require an entrance fee of $90,000. I have noticed reviews that are not too high, but when I did the tour, they had like a little bistro, and some residents were having omelets and things like that, and the food smelled amazing. They have a lot of events. They had a nice exercise room. They had laundry on each floor and seemed to have more dining areas. They give 400 points per month, and each point is equal to a dollar. You can use those points in the cafeteria or the dining area, and they don't carry over to the next month. They kind of give you an allotment, and then if you go over that, you start to pay. Mary Beth gave me the tour. She knew all the residents. She's very good and very thorough. Everything was so clean. There wasn't a spot on the carpeting. There wasn't a whole lot of carpeting. There was more of the vinyl plank flooring type of things. The dining room was set for dinner, and they had cloth napkins, glasses, and silverware. Everything seemed to be clean. Throughout the whole tour inside the rooms, in the laundry rooms, or the dining area, there was no stale odor or anything like that as you toured it. It was very clean, not like bleach clean or anything like that. It was just a fresh, clean environment."

"It is like a family there! A kind, Christian community. My uncle and aunt were cared for so very well and they were happy there to the very end of their lives. Our family highly recommend them!"

"I toured Timbers of Shorewood. I was impressed. It was very nice. They had a very nice kitchen with a regular-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, sink, and cabinets. I checked their dining area yesterday. I didn't write any food, but they gave me a Halloween treat bag to take. The dining area was large. The place had a homey feel to it. The staff was very nice and very informative. She worked there for 15 years. They had a large game room. They had a one-bedroom. They have on-staff 24 hours, two nurses, and they showed me where their offices were."
