Memory Care Communities in Lisle, IL

"I loved StoryPoint Naperville, but my in-laws were not interested. I would have given them a five on everything. I didn't have food. I had hot cocoa there, but I thought they were excellent. The facility itself was very upscale. They had a shuttle that ran regularly that would take you anywhere in a ten-mile radius and with their location, that would be anywhere in the Naperville area, basically. I was impressed that of all the places we went to, this was the easiest to get out and about and around to whatever doctor's visits you needed or anything you wanted or any shopping that you wanted to do. My dad is worried about losing his driver's license and they had the best shuttle. It was a very upscale place and they didn't insist on a crazy entrance fee. If you need to move, they also have assisted living and skilled care onsite. If you would ever need to leave, that gave you some flexibility that the others didn't have. I thought it was an excellent facility and very nicely done. It had excellent staff. I couldn't say enough about it. It was clean and well-organized. I liked it a lot. I liked it because you could get out and about where the others sort of tried to provide everything right there onsite. We looked at independent living. I think one of the downsides there was they didn't have a two-bedroom apartment available that we could see and my in-laws were very interested in a two-bedroom apartment, and they were afraid of it being a smaller thing."

"We chose Lexington Square of Lombard for the location because it's closer to most of us compared to some of the others that I looked at, and they are all very caring people. I like their tenure. Most of the staff has been there for quite some time and that was important to me because my cousin is in memory care, and I wanted to make sure that the staff knew how to deal with memory care. Safety is pretty good. I have to have a passkey to go in and to get out. They don't let just anybody in. The residents aren't able to get on the elevator on their own. I like the fact that the residents all wear a little beeper to page a nurse if need be. She has indicated that the food was very good. I like the variety. She is diabetic, and they are paying attention to that, so I thought that was great. There are things that she doesn't like, but I didn't see anybody complaining. They seem to be keeping her quite busy. They have her up and dressed every day. She's always doing something. The facility is very pleasant, very homey, and very clean. Everybody just seems very comfortable there."

"We moved my mom in back in September of 2024 and we couldn’t be happier with the environment she’s in and care she receives. I wish we made the move earlier as her life has become so much more full as she exercises and socializes throughout the day. She literally thanks us routinely for finding such a nice place to live. Her unit is very nice and furnished with items that used to be in her home which gives her just enough familiarity. The staffing: activities director, front desk, cleaning, maintenance, dining room, care givers and nursing are all exceptional. When my mom has had medical procedures, nursing has coordinated with us to make sure they are on board with her additional care and needs. I could go on. Pleased at every level."

"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 toured Monarch Landing. It was excellent. The food was excellent. It was very safe and resort-like. The staff was Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They have all levels of care there. I know they just won an award as best in Illinois for skilled care, so that was also a good thing."

"Sunrise at Fountain Square was very nice. There were lots to see. They're very active over there, which is great. There were lots to do if you wish to take part. One of the cooks came in when we were in one of the rooms, introduced himself, and welcomed us. The staff during the tour was great. It was clean."

"I like the layout most of all - my mom can walk around inside and outside. The activities are good but the care is the best. My mom is happy and taken care of here."

"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 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!"

"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."

"Sunrise of Willowbrook was very friendly, nice, and clean. It was all good. I only met the director and a couple of people passing by, but everyone seemed very friendly. They had a nice little dining area and a little library. Everything looked very nice. The only thing is the room that they had, my mom would have looked down a dumpster, and that would be my main negative for that. They were very good. They were right up there. It was very good and very nice. The staff were great. The place could be a little more updated, but their population doesn't care as much about all that either."

"I moved my mother into a place called Terra Vista of Oakbrook Terrace a couple of weeks ago. We are set. Everything is good. What I liked about them was that they're specifically for people with dementia and Alzheimer's, and that made a lot of sense to me. I feel like she is getting the level of care that she needs there because she is suffering from dementia, and they also have end-of-life care, and she is in hospice. For me, as someone dealing with all this, it ticked all the boxes, so that's why I chose this. The upkeep of the place is great. They have someone coming in to clean the rooms almost every day. The staff there is wonderful. They're very professional and very caring. One of the nice things about them is that you don't necessarily have to have furniture, as they have furniture there. In this case, specifically because my mom is at the end of life, it was nice not to have to move furniture again for yet another move, with the idea that we would have to move it again once she passes. So, that was also another nice consideration. My mother has only been there for about three weeks, so I have not had the opportunity to try the food, but I've walked in when lunch is finishing up, and it smells delicious. What's really, really nice is that, because it is a community of people with dementia and Alzheimer's, they still have activities, and they even go places with members of the community who can do that. One of the things they do quite a lot is art. I was just visiting my mother yesterday, and there were little easels set up in the dining room, and people were painting, and it's pretty cool to see that. It's worth the value. It's maybe a little bit more money than what we were paying at the other place, but I think the level of care is more professional, and that's what I was specifically looking for my mom."

"The Roosevelt at Salt Creek is my number 1 pick, but I can't get a room with a laundry room in it. You have to go down the hall like you're at a laundromat, and I just can't do that. Nevertheless, I like everything about it. I would see people in the hallway, and they were very friendly. The marketing people were very well-versed, cooperative, and attentive. They don't have a nursing section for later on, and I just want to make one move. They offered a free lunch the day we were there. They also offered to work with me on the rent. They were remodeling at that time, but the units I visited were very clean, and the dining room was lovely and clean. I love the fact that they have an indoor pool. Swimming is important to me, but that's not a deal breaker because I know most places don't have a swimming pool. However, that was an extra advantage from my standpoint."
