"I thought Bickford was amazing! I spoke with Patrick who was very kind and compassionate as this is a very difficult decision to make. Bickford felt very homey, it was clean, and the staff was very friendly. It did not have that hospital or nursing home feeling at all. It's a place I can feel comfortable with caring for our mom."

"Everybody at Sunrise of Naperville North was very nice, very helpful, very friendly, and very welcoming. They wanted to explain everything clearly. The room they showed me was a sample room. It looked well set up and well designed. It had a good, handicapped-accessible bathroom, which was what we need. It seemed wide enough for a wheelchair. It seemed very organized and they had community areas. It was very nicely done. It's kind of expensive though, but the setup was well thought out. They had an area around the building where people could go take a walk. It's nicely done with trees. They had a good variety of food on the menu. It looked well-balanced and it looked good."

"My mom has moved into HarborChase of Naperville. She seems very happy there. She loves the food, and she has participated in a few activities. She loves it. There's an outside patio area that is private and is off of her room, so she can go outside and sit outside and get fresh air. She enjoys being outside. Especially in the summer when it's warmer, she'll be able to spend a lot of time out there. That was a big selling point for them. My mom's room is great. It feels bigger than the last place that she was at. It has almost a full kitchen. It doesn't have an oven, but it has a microwave and a fridge. It looks like an actual kitchen. It's not just like a little galley kind of when you just walk in and it's to the side. It has a counter that comes out and lots of storage space. It's nice. Her room also has a big open living room area. She's in a one-bedroom, so she has her own bedroom, and the bathroom is off the bedroom. There are tons of storage space. There were a couple of things that we found like a light bulb needs to be replaced or one of the outlets didn't work, but we went to the front desk, and they put in work orders to have those repaired. I'm not sure if it has been fixed yet, but they have a good process for that. In terms of activities, I know my mom has played cards, and they played blackjack one night. She had an appointment to get her nails done. She mentioned that there are a few other activities. I saw a flier on the counter like a fall kind of outing thing that they were having. They will take them to the store and things like that. They have several things every day for them to participate in. I haven't seen their dining room area, but they also have like a little bistro area where if you don't want a full meal, you can just go there and get like a sandwich or something lighter. My mom hasn't fallen since she's been there, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. She seems happy and she likes the food. I would say it's greater than her expectation. I've only met a couple of the staff. A nurse came in to give her her medications and she asked if we wanted to switch to in-house primary care versus her outside primary care and things like that. She was very nice. She checked my mom's blood sugar and gave her her insulin. My mom had mentioned that there's another staff that, does anything she asks for, and the woman does it right away and finds out for her. It seems like the staff are very helpful and attentive. HarborChase of Naperville is a little bit more than what we were paying before, but the amenities seem to be nicer. "

"My mom moved into Sunrise of Naperville. I liked the people that were there. We liked the space and the sense of security. We liked its location because it was very close to me. We just had a good feeling about it when we went, talked to them, and saw the place. We also had recommendations from other people who had loved ones there. The staff members are super friendly, very communicative, helpful, and flexible. The food is very good. It's a very nice building. They keep it clean and well-maintained. They have an entire calendar of activities that they publish."

"I've been a resident of StoryPoint Bolingbrook for over a year now. I'm very pleased with it. I like where it's placed. They allow me to have my little dog here and it's surrounded on one side by a park. I feel comfortable here. It's not like a city. Across the street is a church and there are stores. I can still go and get the things I need without having to have somebody come and take me in a car. I don't feel like I'm in the middle of a great big area that's just full of cars. It's a very comfortable place to live. I take my dog for a walk and it's nice to be able to get outside. I have a little garden club here and they let me do that. I have flowers and that's nice, too. I have a big bedroom and another room, which is twice as big as the bedroom because it's a kitchen and then a TV room. It's got a sofa and a TV and then there's a divider with a sink in it, and then a stove and a refrigerator. It's almost like three rooms. I love the staff. The staff is very, very nice. I can't walk, but I also have a lot of pain and I have to take a lot a medicine, and I have never had such caring people take care of me. They come whenever you ask. They take care of my medicine. Everybody has a call button on that they can wear. It opens your door and it also calls for help and they come immediately. I really, really like the girl that's in charge of all the nurses and people that help. She's an amazing person. She does a wonderful job of having this coordinated. They have a very good staff here. They have this man who is in charge of the bistro and he makes all these wonderful recipes for great food. It's not just cafeteria food. It's beautiful, it's good, and it's so different. You would pay a lot of money if you went into a restaurant and bought this kind of food. They do little things like that, and for different holidays, they do a lot of things. It's a nice place. There's a lot of food that I can't eat and they have a lot of choices. I don't have to eat everything. You don't just have one thing to pick from. The food is really good because you've got an option. The personnel are the most important thing about this place. The people that are taking care of the housecleaning know your name. I was so amazed. They know my dog's name. They call you by your name and they make you feel very wanted. They make you very comfortable from the day you walk in the door. I've never seen anything like that. They take good care of you and if you have something that is bothering you, you can go and ask them about it without thinking that it's gonna make people upset. You know that they will understand what you're talking about. It's very nice and very clean. There's a lot of activities going on. People can come and go in and play games. I'm going to go and play poker tonight. I've been doing artwork here, like oil painting, and it's really nice. There's a variety of different things that you can do. You don't have to do everything. You can choose what you want to do. It costs a lot of money for anything that you do. However, it isn't more than what I would have paid to live in my home."

"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."

"Arden Courts of Geneva is a wonderful location! My mother was here. It's a difficult decision for anyone to make to put your loved one in a Memory Care Facility, or any facility. Our family knew it was the best decision. I looked at several locations and Arden Courts of Geneva checked all the boxes for our family. Location, facility, compassionate and caring staff! Our family had to find a facility during COVID and they took very good care of my mother and ensured her safety during the pandemic. We were able to visit with during this difficult time and my mother was happy and enjoyed the events, and the staff. I cannot say enough about the staff and how they understood my mother’s needs and the kindness they showed her and our family. I could call at any time of the day or night and see how my mother was and each time they checked on her and or let me talk to her! I am sorry to say my mother is no longer with us, but I am glad that they was a place like Arden Courts of Geneva for her and it gave me such a peace of mind! Thank you "

"I visited Bickford of St. Charles. My daughter toured with me. The staff showed us around and spoke with us for an extended time. She wasn't in any hurry at all. She showed us the memory care. There were people doing games and keeping their mind going. I thought, " Wow. This is awesome." I visited the assisted living, and I was at the memory care, too. They were doing some kind of a game there to keep their memory going. The place was beautiful. They took us to a studio and a one-bedroom. They took us outside. They had a little garden there for the people, and they're growing tomatoes. They will use the tomatoes for their meals. This is just all so important to have a home-like atmosphere, and it definitely was. There was plenty of room for the person to entertain if they wanted to. There was plenty of rooms inside to sit at the table on the second floor, to play games, and to have visitors. The people were so nice. Everybody was so nice. They were really, really nice. However, they have a shorter term for respite care. The place was spotless, and their garden outside was beautiful."

"Brighton Gardens of Wheaton was too expensive by the time they had everything up, like giving my sister her medicine and everything else. It was a very nice place, though. It was wonderful. The place was beautiful and newly remodeled. Everybody there was very nice. They showed us a one-bedroom apartment. It was nice because it had a little kitchenette, a walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet. It would have been great. They were also going to take my sister's cats, and some people even had their little dogs there. Three meals a day were included. The staff who gave the tour was very nice. She answered all the questions we had. The food was good. They had a large menu, and all different kinds of things on it."

"My tour of Brighton Gardens of St. Charles was amazing. I walked in the door and they greeted me. They had a little sign up there with my name on it. It was great. You felt like you were just part of their community. It was so nice. The person that gave me the tour was very knowledgeable, very kind, and answered all my questions. I was getting a little bit nervous about thinking about my mom needing more care and she was able to speak to me kindly and slowly. She just took her time with me and didn't rush me at all and made me feel like she cared. She shared her own experience about when she had to do this with her family member and how hard it was. She was just letting me know that my feelings were valid and that it was normal to feel that way. She was just very personable and she had a lot of empathy. The rooms were very clean. Each hallway has an assistant or caregiver/CNA and they check on the residents every 2 hours, even in the middle of the night to make sure they're OK. So, if they were to fall or if they were to need assistance, they wouldn't be waiting all night until the next day. So, it's called Eyes on You and I thought that was amazing. I talked to some of the residents there and they were friendly. They were dining and the food looked really good. They even told me that my mom was going to love the food there. They were raving about how good it was. They were all talking amongst each other and they said they're like a big family there. The community was kind of small. So, it seems like everybody knew everybody and they had a dog that lived there on the premises and people loved that. They have people who come in and do exercise classes. They said they have weekly activities. I saw that on the activity board and they have people who come and volunteer to come in and spend time with the residents to play games. So, they have a lot of people coming in to stimulate and to give the residents something to look forward to. The residents seemed happy. Every one of them. The ones that were sitting in the lobby with the dog or the people who were just hanging out by the TV and talking with the people that were eating. The assisted living side that I saw was very positive and I told my mom that when she's ready, this facility is amazing. It is. I would want my mom there."

"My husband is a resident and we were fortunate to transition from rehab to Belmont during Covid. While a stressful time for all they made residents care primary. Everyone we have encountered has been friendly, they know everyone’s name.! During these times I have been very pleased. Many facilities are short staffed these days….I have always felt appreciated and had questions and concerns addressed. It is clean and a nice atmosphere. Thank You for ALL you do!"

"The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and genuinely cares for the residence. Everyone had been very accommodating and responsive. The rooms or apartments are very nice , perfect size and housekeeping assist with the residence and keeping their apartments clean. The meals are delicious and always a variety to choose from. There is a wide variety of activities for the residence to choose to do. My mom and our entire family are extremely happy with her living at Story Point!"
