"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."

"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."

"I toured Sunrise of Willowbrook. She showed me around certain facilities and stuff. It's much bigger than the other place. There are more residents there, the family areas where you can come and watch TV appear to be mostly just downstairs on the main level. They have studios, one, two bedrooms, but I just saw the studios, and they're really small and they look old. They had a front patio."

"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."

"The Brighton Gardens of Wheaton was wonderful. It was very inviting and had a homey feel to it. The staff was very knowledgeable and very welcoming. The room was very spacious and it was something that was accommodating for the needs that I was there for. The room I saw was very modern and updated. I toured their assisted living and the amenities were wonderful. From what I recall, I think they had a weight room where the seniors could work out or do therapy sessions. They also had a kitchen area. The dining room area was very spacious and looked like very good eating takes place there. I think there was a library as well on the premises. There's also a section where the seniors could wind down and watch movies. The upkeep and the maintenance of the facility were great. There was no trash seen or visible. Everything seems to be in its proper place and sanitized."

"Belmont Village Geneva Road is an excellent facility. My wife likes it and she's happy there. It's very well-appointed, well-lit, the rooms are nice, the lobby is excellent and wonderful, and the staff is very caring. The restaurant provides excellent food. They do a wonderful job and we're very happy with my wife's stay there. I would highly recommend them. The grounds are nice, neat, and well-kept, and the facilities are outstandingly good."

"Clarendale of Addison was very nice. I really liked the room the staff showed me. I liked the idea about their meal plan that if you don't eat a meal, you're not charged for it. It was just a little bit too far from where most of my activities take place, but I really like the Clarendale of Addison. I have friends who live in there and it would be nice if we were there together. The staff was very nice and they called me a couple of times afterwards. It was a very nice experience. The staff showed me a snack shop and that's where he explained how the meal plan went. It was very lovely."

"The British Home (Cantata Adult Life Services) is very well-maintained on the interior. It's very well-organized and clean. The staff was exceptional in getting my aunt placed there. The food is acceptable. They have a beauty parlor, interactive sessions, arts and crafts, and outings."

"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. "

"My dad has been in Lakeview Memory Care. We spoke to 14 different places in a two-day period and this community was who we judged everybody against. When we want to come we need to make an appointment to make sure we can social distance and that there will be plenty of space. When we go visit we check-in and we have to wear masks. They let us in through the back gate and escorts us to where my dad is at, then we sit down and visit however long we want to. Then we call the front gate, they take my dad inside, and escort us back out. They are not allowing people to go out of the facility and they've been COVID-free for quite a long time; they very much want to keep it that way. At first, he wasn't getting the type of breakfast that he likes so he went and talked to them. Now he is getting the kind of food in the morning that he likes and he doesn't really complain about the food. It is a single-story facility and I don't have to worry about my dad getting in the elevator and going up and down."

"We really liked Sunrise and everybody there, but they only had a studio on the second floor, and it was kind of depressing looking in there. I looked because it's closer to my house. Everybody was great, warm, nice, and caring. If they had the right room, I would have gone to Sunrise because of the price and it's pretty close, but we had to move quick."

"I was at an upscale assisted living care facility for senior citizens today for a job fair I went to. I got a good look around the place, and I have to say, it did seem rather nice. It had a below ground parking garage for visitors use, a very nicely decorated lobby, spacious rec and meeting rooms, a well equipped kitchen with hired chefs, and regular bingo sessions and other activities for the residents. It seemed like a pretty plush joint, likely for the moderately wealthy. Lots of staff were seen walking about, busy on their tasks and every one of the residents I saw seemed reasonably happy to be there. Apparently they even allow pets, as I recall seeing a small dog being walked through one of the parlors to avoid having to go through the crowded lobby and getting overly excited. I can only guess residents get treated very well there and receive good medical attention and care. "

"Sunrise of Naperville is away from a busy street and located in a nice area. I like that the people are friendly and the staff member showed us around and offered us a pretty good deal on the cost. The cleanliness is very good, and the rooms are really nice. They have a lot of activities that all the other communities also have."
