Memory Care Communities in Algonquin, IL

"It is beautiful. It's set back in a tree-surrounded area and the grounds are beautiful. The staff are very friendly, open and helpful. The apartments are nicely spaced for people to be able to feel comfortable as if they are at home. The residents seemed to enjoy the food there. They have about everything seniors would be looking for in activities and facilities. I would absolutely recommend this to others."

"Oak Crest was a very clean place. The problem was that they were expensive. The people were very nice, and they had nice meals, which their residents seemed to enjoy. Their rooms were very large and nice. "

"It is very clean. The rooms are spacious, and the staff is very accommodating. The caregivers are awesome and my friend seems to like it. She is a level two memory care and they could go up to level six. So, that was a big plus for us. The day that we went to visit her, they gave us some sliders and some pancakes, and the food was good. Once you leave your room in the morning, you can't go back into it unless you need to use the bathroom. The doors are locked and they don't want people hanging out in their room. They have group sessions, tdo arts and crafts, do physical therapy, and play games. She'll play bingo, they watch movies, and they have visitors like dogs that come in. So, they keep the residents pretty active until it's time to go to bed."

"Everything was good here. It had everything that someone would look for. The staff was excellent, very bright, and personable. The food was very good, and you get 30 meals a month. It was Catholic."

"We liked it. They had activities like bingo, a choir, and a meeting place for church on Sundays."

"My dad is in assisted living. They've been doing a lot with him. We just set up to have his mental health assessed and they are going to start physical therapy. They've been very attentive to him, have been willing to answer our questions, and have been very cooperative. He hasn't been in it that long, but it's been clean. He is going to be moved into an apartment now. The food has been good too. They've been keeping him active. They do activities every day. I was there yesterday and they had an event, a roaring 20s party with entertainment, food, and gambling for them."

"The staff at the Heathers Senior Homes of Ringwood were all very helpful. The only thing that stopped us from choosing them was the location of the room. We didn't feel it was conducive for what we were looking for. Everybody was in their room or something, so I didn't see people engaging in anything. I think they just had lunch, so they probably all went for their naps."

"I was accommodated wonderfully at Bickford of St. Charles. They have on staff, physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and a podiatrist. They have their own pharmacy, doctors come to visit patients daily if needed. I did not have lunch, but I did have a dessert that the chef made, which was fantastic. It looked like an upscale hotel. It was quite lovely inside. The dining area had beautiful, round wooden tables with soft, cushy chairs for the residents. It looked like it was a restaurant. They have a beauty parlor where you make an appointment and they do your hair. They had little separate rooms that had crafts, and they had their own little TV sitting area with couches and recliners, not just hard cushioned chairs. It looked like somebody's living room where you are going to sit and watch television together. Also, the residents' rooms are very close to that area where it's not like they have to walk hallways to get to where they're going. It's all centrally located to where their rooms are."

"I visited Belmont Village Buffalo Grove. The most important thing is seeing people out in the common areas socializing and not seeing people in their rooms but actually enjoying the social opportunities. The staff was very good. It's very convenient and very well kept up. The rooms were on the smaller side but kind of fit the needs of the people that were in there. There was a casino day activity where they were doing different casino games in the activity center."

"Arden Courts was a very nice facility. The young lady that took me on a tour was very nice. She was very knowledgeable. She knew her job. It was very nice; it was quiet. They had a very nice outdoor courtyard area with a nice enclosed walk-in path. That was a huge consideration for us with my dad: the outdoor accessibility. "

"It is a faith-based community -- which is important to us -- and they're taking very good care of my husband. It's run by the Franciscan communities. They have a mass there everyday which he really likes. They have several buildings; it's on 17 acres, and it's a big place, but I'm only familiar with the memory care place. The staff was very friendly and very outgoing, and they really do a fine job as far as I'm concerned. The meals are good. He has a very nice room, and he can have his own furniture in his room. They have a lot of outings that they take him to with the other residents. We've been very pleased with Addolorata Villa. "

"My wife and I were at Brookdale Vernon Hills. They’re great. They’re topnotch. They were very responsive and very friendly. They’re just very professional, capable, and competent. however, we didn’t realize that there would be so few active seniors, and it was difficult to have any companionship. We were hoping to do things with people. They gave us a half price for awhile, and we jumped into it because it was only for a limited time that they would offer that so we didn’t really look at the people. We looked at the premises, which were wonderful, but then when finally saw there were no active seniors, it just didn’t fit us. But to be fair to them, they’re first class. I wouldn’t fault them for who is there. "

"Sedgebrook is a wonderful caring and friendly place. When you walk in the door you are greeted with smiles and interest. When you walk the halls everyone you pass greets you and many wish you a good day. There are lots of activities to participate in across a range of interest. There are garden plots available if you like gardening. There are craft, art and hobby groups to find people with similar interests. There are all sorts of exercise classes and activities. There is a nice library filled with books, DVDs and puzzles for those who enjoy them. There are many card and game groups. There are a lot of music and movie programs. There are many discussion groups and various religious activities and groups. And if there is something else that you would like to see you can get help starting a group. The apartments are well planned and laid out and there are a variety of floor plans and sizes. There is a service fee charged every month which includes a food allowance that fits about one good meal every day. Lunches are served in one dining area and dinners in two. The food on the whole is good and the dining staff is open to suggestions for changes to fit the wishes of the residents. Menus change weekly in both dining areas. Covered by the service fee are all utilities, parking in an indoor garage, basic television and many repairs when needed. I have lived here about 1.5 years and have enjoyed it very much"
