Memory Care Communities in Lisle, IL

"We checked out StoryPoint Naperville. It was a great visit, and it was a nice place, but too crowded, and too busy. They showed me everything, and that was very nice. I think they had a full kitchen. The staff member was very nice, she was great. They said they were remodelling. It was clean."

"I have observed both the rehabilitative services and long-term assisted living and hospice services at Lexington. Rehabilitative Services: My grandmother spent two weeks at this facility recovering from a broken hip. She was assigned to a double-occupancy room and had a roommate for about 2/3 of her stay. She felt the physical therapy sessions were difficult but productive and enabled her to work towards a quicker-than-anticipated recovery. Her sole complaint was the lack of fresh fruit in the meal service. Long-term/hospice care: My (other) grandmother spent the last year of her life at Lexington in the long-term care. I visited for approximately one hour, once a week, which enabled me to get to know the staff and experience many mealtimes. Residents are typically given a choice of a salad with the option of soup, along with main entrees like salisbury steak, grilled cheese, and breaded chicken. Side dishes include veggies like green beans, macaroni and cheese, or mashed potatoes. The desserts range from brownies to jello with fruit inside, often accompanied by a dixie cup of chocolate or vanilla ice cream. Based on the smell and appearance, this food seems above average for a cafeteria-type dining environment. The staff are friendly and while they don't jump at every yell or ring of a page, they respond to requests and emergencies at an adequate speed. The facility is clean, including common areas. The grounds are nicely landscaped and provide many benches to relax outdoors with residents. Lexington's activities director arranges daily activities such as bingo or sing-alongs, as well as seasonal parties for holidays. The summer celebration includes a moon bounce for guests and hot dogs, among other treats. You can tell they're trying to engage residents and their loved ones based on the variety of activities.Overall, this is not a "luxury" facility but it is a considerable leap above state-run long term care facilities. The residents are treated pleasantly and it is apparent that the staff is doing the best with what they've got. I would not hesitate to live or arrange for a loved one to live at this facility. "

"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."

"Monarch Landing was a nice place, but they only offer apartments they don?t offer town houses and I want a town house. "

"The Sunrise at Fountain Square was very inviting, warm, and very welcoming. The staff was very friendly and warm too. They had a movie area and a large dining room area. The room I saw was spacious, it had a lot of room, a walk-in closet, and a walk-in shower for my mom. She's a senior so those are the things that I was looking for. The community had those pull cords in the room. It was a very secure safety feature that I noticed. I toured their assisted living and I found the place to be very clean, sanitized, and looked like everything was in its place. It looked like everyone was pretty much happy there when I met the staff and some of the patrons that are residents there. I didn't walk into any smell or anything like that, and no garbage or trash that was visible so everything looked like it was being kept to the best of their ability."

"My dad is now at Arden Courts. It has the best layout. There is a lot of space to work around. It has the most room outside to walk around. It is not as new as some other facilities. The rooms are just one single room, and they are just one size. What impresses me about this place is the space and the freedom to move around. All of the staff are very helpful. "

"From the first day that my son took me here at StoryPoint Bolingbrook and it's a year and a half already, I loved it. It's only two stories high. Everybody here is wonderful. The residents are really nice and the staff is really terrific. They do a really great job. They cater to everyone's needs. There's a lot of activities if you want to participate or not. The place is always clean and neat, and the food is good. Everything about this place is wonderful. I have just a one-room apartment and it has a small kitchen with a refrigerator and a microwave and lots of closet space. It has a nice-sized bathroom and it's very comfortable. It's more room than I need. It holds a lot of things. We're always making things and hanging them up or putting them against the window. It's really a great place. It's beautiful. It's not very big, so everybody gets to know everybody. When you meet people in the hall, you always say, hello, how are you? The staff is nice. It's very comfortable here. It's a good value. There's a lot of nice people here."

"We chose Belmont Village because of its location. It is close to where I work and also to my brother’s house. We wanted to be able to visit our mother several times a week. Also, it is a very lovely place. It is well-kept, and it has a great reputation. The pricing was very good. I went through the whole range of price,s and they were in the ball park of what we wanted to spend. They are actually wonderful, caring people. It turned out to be a very good thing for my mom and for us as well. I am very happy with them. "

"My husband is staying here. It's a great place, it's newer, and it's homey. The people there are lovely, and the staff is lovely, too. Everybody's like a real family, and my husband's very happy there. I know they have exercises in the morning, and on Christmas, they had gift giving."

"We were checking out assisted living facilities in the Chicago area and decided to go and see Sunrise of Willowbrook, since it was recommended by a friend in the region as an option for our aunt. The outside area resembled that of a well maintained smaller hotel. Outside greens were nicely landscaped and well-tended with plenty of great seating areas. The interior design featured nice colors, comfortable furniture, bright light and fresh air, which added to the cheery ambiance. From sight seeing to nature walks and cultural events, the Chicago region has it all. The staff appeared to accommodate all levels of ambulation. The seniors are taken on many outings into the area's vibrant community to enjoy all that it has to offer. The dining areas included really well prepared and healthy food with many choices. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus included food options for all kinds of diets. The residents enjoy yoga and aerobics classes, sometimes held outdoors. Seniors are encouraged to enjoy physical activity as much as possible. There are also specially designed educational and social programs for residents and their families. Private units featured beautiful decorations, many with great views of the surrounding areas. The spaces were all designed with safety rails and features. The Willowbrook community is a safe and pleasant place for anyone to live. The seniors appeared very content here, with just the amount of care and attention they require. "

"My mom is in Terra Vista. They are very caring, always notify us if they have a question, and tell me her daily progress. It is a great place. The food is good. They have three meals a day. The staff is wonderful and are always there helping. They are very into their work. She is in a good-sized room. The building is made for people with dementia. They have higher ceilings and lights that go on slowly. "

"I toured The Roosevelt at Salt Creek. The place was simply gorgeous. The people were very kind. Even the young lady that conducted the interview (her name was Hillary), was very feral and very informative. She gave us a tour upstairs and the place. It just looked like you were at home. Very warm, comforting, and clean. Just very nice. This was the first time my parents had even considered looking at senior living. I had my mother with me at that time, and she was very impressed with what we saw. All the common areas were nice. I have nothing bad to say. It was clean. It smelled good. I didn't smell anything bad. Everything was in order."

"My mom is 93 and suffers from moderate to advanced dementia. To varying degrees, my wife and I have been involved with her care since my dad died 20+ years ago. As her impairment increased over the years, we moved her from a single family home to a small apartment to an assisted living facility where she lived for 5 years. When it became clear that she really needed a facility specializing in memory care, we considered 15 local venues, visited 8 and checked references for 3. We ultimately selected Harvester Place and have been very pleased with the decision. Everything about the facility (architecture, interior design, personnel, programming, etc.) is built around the core mission of caring for people with cognitive and memory impairment. In dealing with a resident population that can, at times, be very challenging, most of the staff members are consistently patient, gentle and loving, which makes all the difference in the world. Caring for the elderly in not a simple proposition and there are no perfect solutions. We entrusted Harvester Place with mom's health, safety and contentment and have been very satisfied. We would recommend the facility without reservation. "
