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."

"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."

"The people were wonderful. Julie, the one who gave me the tour, was phenomenal, and their follow-up was very good too. They would call me just to let me know how my mom was doing. The rooms were beautiful, and I would move there if I were old enough. To me, it was like a cruise ship without a casino. I was really impressed with it. My mom's doing great now, but if there's a change in anything, I would definitely move her there."

"Encore Village of Schaumburg was a nice facility. It was on wooded acres, so that gave you a sense of being away from the city. It was on 60 acres of land. The presence gave it a resort feeling. It seems like there was more activity there because you could walk into the wooded parts of the estate. Their facilities were immaculate. Residents were in the exercise room exercising. The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic."

"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. "

"At The Park at Vernon Hills, they were friendly. It looked like an exceptional place. The rooms looked like they were well maintained. "

"If you want to be mentally, physically and socially active, this is the place for you. Lots of interesting activities. Nice gym and pool, and loads of great exercise activities. Residents and staff are all really nice and welcoming. We’ e been here 3 months and couldn’t be happier we chose to come here"

"The staff are all friendly, caring and responsive. I am very happy and relieved that my dad is living in such a nice place! Thank you!!"

"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."
