Independent Living Communities in Naperville, IL

"My mother who is 96 resides at the Brookdale Glen Ellyn as an independent resident. She has called this home for the past three years and I have visited her nearly daily over the course of those three years. Brookdale is a wonderful residence for my mother and even though she is independent, there have been three occasions when she has needed assistance or emergency attention. Each time, the staff surrounds her with care and immediacy and have genuinely demonstrated their fondness for her. Of course this is important to me as her daughter, but I observe this same level of sincerity and involvement with all the residents as I come on go daily. Brookdale is a well-maintained facility and my brother often remarks it's like a four star hotel! Activities and opportunities to be involved abound but without pressure to do anything beyond a resident's comfort. My mother enjoys participating in a book club, playing bridge weekly and serving as an ambassador for new residents. She has formed new relationships which is important at this time of life when so many life friendships have ended. I enjoy the relationships that I have formed as well both with the staff and residents and look forward to participating in the Friday afternoon "happy hour" from time-to-time. My family and I feel grateful that our mom/grandma has a place where she is safe, cared-for and where she continues to live rich moments in her near century old life. Thank you Brookdale for helping us love this woman who means so much to us. "

"Holmstead is very convenient to where my wife and I live. I like the idea that they had options for care at different levels as a person's condition change and start to need more assistance. The facility itself is very, very nice. It's a large campus right across the street from a river, so they have a very nice piece of real estate. The facility is beautiful. Everyone that I've met there is absolutely committed to care. My father's been there now well over a year. I would absolutely recommend them. "

"Sunrise at Fountain Square was very, very nice and very friendly. Probably, that's where I would go. The people were excellent. When I was there, I noticed activities that were going on. There were activities upstairs and I could see the participation of people doing physical exercises. In the coffee shop, they had a game going on and the participants were volunteer people who were coming down early for dinner and they were playing a game. Then there were people in the hallways that were talking with each other and it was an excellent environment that I would like to live in."

"We went to American House Cedarlake and if it hadn't been for the price, I would probably have chosen American House. American House is really on the expensive side for Mom because her finances are not that great. It was a little too much, although we liked it. It was actually our favorite, but the money was a big stumbling block. We got to see both independent and assisted living when we went there. We really like the way everything was set up for the residents. We like the way their meals were done. They had a structured menu, and they had a more lenient time schedule for their meals. Say that you had somebody in assisted living that had therapy or whatever and they can't come to lunch until whatever time, you could go down and eat at that time. They have longer periods for breakfast and longer periods for lunch and dinner. It was just really nice with that stuff. Their apartments were well appointed. We really like the way they had things set up and the people there seemed really nice. The only drawback for them was their pricing was a little too steep for Mom at this time. They seemed outstanding when we were there. We really liked that place. The staff are all very nice and welcoming. Covid still screwed things up, but they really went out of their way to try and show us the best they could. They showed us the facility as much in its entirety as they were allowed, since they don't want you coming in contact with the residents. It was a restricted tour still but a very good one at the same time. We didn't have any food. We weren't allowed to eat there, but they gave us an apple pie to bring home and the apple pie was very, very good. One thing that I like is that if the person is capable, they have some rooms that have washers and dryers in them. They could do their own laundry if they wanted and they didn't have to go out into the general hallway and share a washer and dryer. That was really nice. Some of the apartments came with that if you're capable of doing it and wanted to do it yourself. I like that. Also they seemed to have a little bit better access for tubs and toilets and stuff. We thought their access to those was really good for seniors."

"I found Franciscan Village for my mom. The care and the food were highly rated. She moved in last month. The staff is good. My mom loves the food. They have lots of activities. They have everything. They have a salon, a gym, a rehab area, and a craft room. It's closer to the majority of the family."

"Story Point has been a great place for my father. His caregivers are helpful and are able to answer our questions. The regular outings my Dad gets to join keep him invested in the community. "

"I toured The Roosevelt at Salt Creek. The place was simply gorgeous. The people were very kind. Even the young lady that conducted the interview (her name was Hillary), was very feral and very informative. She gave us a tour upstairs and the place. It just looked like you were at home. Very warm, comforting, and clean. Just very nice. This was the first time my parents had even considered looking at senior living. I had my mother with me at that time, and she was very impressed with what we saw. All the common areas were nice. I have nothing bad to say. It was clean. It smelled good. I didn't smell anything bad. Everything was in order."

"Sheridan at Oak Brook was very new, very upscale, and lovely. Not inexpensive, but also very nice. The ones that I met seemed very knowledgeable and very pleasant. The amenities are all up to date. They have a broad number of activities. The apartments were bright and cheerful, the size was adequate, and well-laid out. They had a variety of models for the apartments."

"I highly recommend Greenfields Assisted Living & Skilled Nursing levels of care as my parents have experienced both. My mom And dad moved in together into Assisted Living in October 2018. Since then my dad has graduated to skilled nursing. However we knew this was a potential and that’s why we chose Greenfields. They have every level of care for every level of need that my parents could ever need and it was very important to keep them together, under one roof. My mom in assisted-living has a beautiful spacious bright high ceilings and many windows one bedroom apartment with a kitchen efficiency. The staff is top-notch nurses and CNAs 24/7."

"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."

"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."

"We checked out Concord Place. It was an assisted living, and they said my brother was too much for them because he is blind and he has dementia. However, I thought the place was fantastic, and I thought it would work well for him, but according to the nurses and the guy that we talked to, it was just an assisted living and he would probably need more than that. I knew if I would go to some place, I would like to go there. It had pretty much everything that you would want. The room was perfect, and I thought it was beautiful. It had its own bathroom -- which was very important. It was a nice place. "

"I looked at 13 different facilities for independent and assisted living. I chose Marian Village independent living for my mom in January of 2022. It was the best decision I could make! The staff is absolutely wonderful and the residents are also wonderful. The facility is extremely clean and they have many activities for their residents. "
