The Best Memory Care Communities in Dupage County, IL

"My mother has been a resident since her husband passed away earlier this year. Her dementia makes her quite a handful, but the staff here is just awesome! They know all the professional tricks to handle her and we've observed their interactions with her on multiple occasions. We rest so much easier knowing mom is in the good hands of people that care about her. When we visit, we love to sit outside and take little walks around the beautiful courtyard. I guess those days will be coming to an end for the year with the weather turning, but the facility provides plenty of room and public spaces to sit and talk inside as well. We're so happy we discovered Terra Vista for my mom and can't say enough about it!"

"I had an aunt who was in Arden Courts of Glen Ellyn. It was very clean and seemed to have some organized activities. The security was very tight. It was very nice for the most part. Her one-room apartment was nice and had its own washroom. It always seemed to be clean."

"We like it. The place was new, nice, and clean. They offered lots of things. It's out on a major street, but that's OK. They don't have much grounds though. The rooms were nice."

"We visited The Roosevelt at Salt Creek's independent living and as far as I'm concerned, the community had only one drawback and that is that they've just started and will be undergoing some renovation for a while. I was concerned that that could be a disturbance and would make it less attractive and comfortable. You don't know for sure, but that's been my experience with those kinds of things. Other than that, I would give them a high rating in just about everything, including their quarters. I liked their rooms a little bit better than any of the other places we saw. Their staff was quite friendly and knowledgeable. The layout was good and they had outdoor areas too. Their eating arrangement looked good. It looked a little bit more complicated to me than some of the other places, but it still looks like a very nice eating arrangement. The residents also have very good interaction with their staff."

"My father has only been here for a few weeks now. It's beautiful, and it's practically new. Everything is clean and fresh. The staff is very helpful and very knowledgeable about dementia. The room is very spacious, and it's got a separate bathroom with shower, a nice huge window to look outside, and plenty of closet space. They have pet therapy come in. I was impressed at how clean it was, how spacious it was, and how much they knew about dementia. "

"We were at Sunrise of Willowbrook for a very short time, and it was actually very good. Their director of nursing had set up a very caring program for the residents."

"We visited Belmont Village Senior Living Geneva Road. We were impressed with everything -- the overall appearance, the room sizes, the cleanliness and the brightness. The staff was very outgoing, friendly, and helpful. They were just lovely. They were right across the street from a shopping center, and they do have service if people needed to go shopping, to a doctor's appointment, or whereever else they need to go. "

"My mother is in Sunrise. The staff is exceptional. They are very caring. The rooms are small, but adequate. My mother likes the food. They have two or three activities a day. They have evening slowdown activities like meditation, prayer, music, or something like that. They have excursions maybe once a week where they go to restaurants or watch movies. They have walking tours. They have hand and shoulder massages, manicures, jewelry marking, picture frame paintings, and various things like that. However, they probably can have a few toys because children are always welcome to see the elderly there, but they do not have anything to do when they are there. "

"I visited alone and then brought my mom to view this facility. It is a lovely facility. There are dining options, lots of activities and I did see people participating in activities when I visited. In some facilites, people are not interacting much with each other. The apartments are very modern and spacious and rival any standard apartment complex. A resident dog is also a plus for those who like animals, but can no longer care for them. They will even soon provide local transporation to residents. Shawna was very friendly, knowledgable and willing to hear our very complicated situation and offered us options to fit our needs. My mom chose to go back home for now, but if things don't work out, I would not hesitate to go with Harbor Chase."

"My wife has been a resident of Sunrise Naperville North for the past 6 months and we think the assisted living facility is great. My wife had been in a long term care facility for 5 months trying to recover from the 2018 flu but was having difficulties. Once she became a resident of Sunrise her condition improved dramatically and she is now fully recovered. We toured some other assisted living facilities and found that Sunrise was the most comfortable and was more like living in your home. One review said it was dated, but we think it has been configured to be comfortable and inviting and what an older person would like. The room configurations and bathrooms are excellent for a person with mobility limitations. The activities and social interactions are excellent. I am thankful every day that my wife became a resident of Sunrise Naperville North as she recovered completely to where she was several years ago."

"I liked Harvester Place. The staff seems very caring, but the rooms were a bit smaller than the other place I toured. I like that they have enclosed courtyards and the fact that it's all memory care. The staff that gave the tour was good. Everything was a little bit smaller but it was clean. They have exercise classes, they have games, they have outings, they have like a men's club and they have barbecues."

"I thought it was nice, but we couldn't afford it. The lady who helped us was really very pleasant, very nice, and gave us a lot of information and a nice tour of the place. It was very clean and beautiful. The apartment she showed us was very nice. "

"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."

"My parents moved to Monarch Landing in 2014. And, it was a blessed foresight as we lost my dad in 2015. I don’t have to worry about my mom living alone. She has so many amenities, neighbors and staff to answer to her every need ... from a salon to restaurant style eating facilities right onsite. When she needed physical therapy, they were onsite either to come directly to her or for her to go downstairs to a workout room. Monarch Landing is the answer to the question of where would you want your parents to live out their golden years."
