Memory Care Communities in Joliet, IL

"Victorian Village was very beautiful, very clean, and the layout was good. The people were very nice, and the staff is attentive, concerned, and genuinely interested in the welfare of the people. There is Wii bowling, bingo, and movies, and the location is very convenient. "

"Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park was very clean, very warm, and very bright. There were fireplaces all around. It was welcoming. I loved their apartments because they had a little kitchenette, but you had to go through the closet to get to the bathroom, and that's the only thing I didn't care for. They have Bingo and for the Catholics, they have communion and they have a priest come in. They seemed to do a lot of activities. They also had a beauty parlor."

"Brookdale Orland Park was an excellent and clean facility. It was very top-notch. For me, it's just a location issue. It's farther than I would like to travel if I'm going to visit my father daily, but overall the facility was great. The staff were very friendly. The lady checked in on me several times after the visit to make sure and to see how things were going with my father and to see if I had made a decision yet. So, that facility was top-notch as far as what I've seen in the staff and the facility itself."

"Bickford of Oswego is a beautiful facility. It is always clean and smells nice. The common areas are nicely furnished, comfortable. Initially, I was afraid my father's room would be a little small, but it has turned out to be exactly the right amount of space for him. He doesn't need any more than what he has. The bathrooms are a nice size with large walk in showers. The staff at Bickford of Oswego has welcomed my father with open arms. Everyone (staff and residents) are always smiling, friendly, and welcoming. My dad is well taken care of, in fact he looks great! He loves the nurses, CNAs and other staff (the girls as he calls them.) They are understanding of his memory issues, but allow him as much independence as he can handle. It's nice that they have a flexible care continuum that allows each resident to get exactly the assistance they need while allowing them to continue to do what they can for themselves too. Most of all, the staff at Bickford has been a godsend to us as we now can enjoy Dad and be his daughters again instead of caregivers. It is truly a wonderful place. "

"My wife is in The Reserve at Oswego. It's a nice place. I'm there every day, twice a day, I talk to them on a regular basis. It's very good communication between the facility and myself. I'm very happy with it. I have no complaints at all about the facility. She has a very comfortable, private room, it's a pretty good size, and everything that we need is there. It's a relatively new facility, probably only three or four years old. They have quite a few activities, but my wife is not partaking that much. I have no complaints about the food. It's only five minutes from my house, and that's another big plus."

"Bickford of Tinley Park was a gorgeous facility. It was clean, it was nice, and it was brand new. They had an indoor courtyard. It was a nice facility. "

"Porter Place is all memory care and laid out very nicely. The rooms are very nice with several different layouts available, and the security is very good. They're able to keep an eye on all of the people. The staff who gave me the tour was very nice and did a good job. She was very accommodating, and gave me information about what I needed to do. The only drawback was it didn't seem that the staff was interacting that much with the residents. They seem like they were just standing in the corner and watching which made me feel uncomfortable. They have a hair salon, and they have several different areas for people to relax and do activities. They didn't have to be in one place at one time if they don't feel like doing activities."

"The apartments were very spacious, and the kitchens were very nicely remodeled with full size refrigerators, cook stoves, sinks, beautiful backsplashes, cabinet trays, and in-unit washers and dryers. They also had several floor plans, all of which were very spacious and accommodating. The staff was very involved. There were a lot of activities in the communal areas. I liked that it was a smaller community with a lot of assisted living residents of varying ages. The age range would've been socially beneficial to my mother. It was mealtime when we were there, and everything smelled and looked beautiful; all the residents seemed pleased."

"During the past 18 months Harvester Place has proven to be be a safe , respectful , and caring location for our mother. The Executive Director and staff have provided excellent personal service. We deeply appreciate the care and attention that mother has received and highly recommend the center to other families searching for a memory care program. "

"We visited Arden Courts of Palos Heights. They engage the patients in something that they can remember from the past, like old songs. The staff was very professional and very caring. They had separate areas where they can sit and listen to the radio, and if the weather is nice, they can go and sit in the patio. They had a garden that they can go and work in. I didn't eat there, but the dining area looked nice. "

"My husband and I have lived at Monarch Landing for 3½ years and are very, very happy that we moved here. Yes, it has many amenities, a large selection of apartments that you can personalize, a friendly staff, and loads of things to do (active and not-so-active). So, what makes us different from other independent living communities in the area? Super-friendly residents. We have made many more friends here in over 3 years than we have in 40+ years living in Naperville. Join a club, committee or simply have dinner with someone, and you’ll have a friend. Walk down the hallway and everyone says, “Good morning” or “Hi! How are you?” Many say that they chose to live at Monarch Landing after looking at other facilities simply because this was the place with the friendliest residents. Don't wait to move here until you “need” the advantages of living here. If you do, you’ll miss out on so much. I am convinced that living here with all our friends will extend our lifespans."

"My brother moved in. Their community is great. Everyone is friendly, from the staff to the residents. The nurses, CNAs, and everyone are just fantastic. He's got a nice room. It's a nice size for him, but I wish it were a little bit bigger (I guess that's just me). I would prefer that it were a little bit bigger and that it had more of a kitchen-type layout. It has a cabinet area and a countertop, and he can put his microwave there, but I wish there was a sink where he can wash some little dishes if he has some. Overall, it's still a nice room. He has been participating in some of their activities. I know he plays bingo, and then they've had movie nights (he goes to that). They have little events sometimes, and they have one coming up soon at the end of this month on the 26th. They are going to have an event where families can come and stuff like that, which is good. I don't think he likes the food. He's picky. He wants to eat what he wants to eat. He is diabetic too, so he doesn't care for the food. He has no choice, though, but I think it's delicious. Not that I've eaten any, but I can tell when the cook/the chef puts it out, it looks good and smells good to me. I know that there are other elderly people there who have to be cared for and can't control themselves. They have to go to the bathroom and stuff like that, and so it feels like every time I'm walking to go down to my brother's hall to go to his room, it reeks of urine. You can just smell it, and I don't know if that's because they haven't cleaned, or maybe when I come, there's nobody there to clean it. During the week, I couldn't smell it, but definitely when I go on Saturday mornings or Sunday, I can smell it as soon as I come in the door."
