Memory Care Communities in Oakbrook Terrace, IL

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Brighton Gardens of Wheaton was too expensive by the time they had everything up, like giving my sister her medicine and everything else. It was a very nice place, though. It was wonderful. The place was beautiful and newly remodeled. Everybody there was very nice. They showed us a one-bedroom apartment. It was nice because it had a little kitchenette, a walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet. It would have been great. They were also going to take my sister's cats, and some people even had their little dogs there. Three meals a day were included. The staff who gave the tour was very nice. She answered all the questions we had. The food was good. They had a large menu, and all different kinds of things on it."

"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 dad was a resident of Bridgeway of Bensenville. I have no complaints, and everything was great. The staff was very attentive to all of his needs. The food tasted like cafeteria food. It was very bland. It wasn't overcooked. First, we were in a two-bedroom because my mom was alive, but then she passed away there seven days later that we moved in, and then we moved my dad into a studio. Both of them were okay with what they needed. The upkeep needed some work."

"I did an in-person tour of Clarendale of Addison's independent living. The lady who did the tour was very good and very thorough. I was very impressed with the facility. It was very nice and clean. Everybody I've seen in the independent living part seems to be very much in tune with everything and a very friendly group. All in all, I thought it was a very good experience."

"I toured Cantata Adult Life Services. What I liked best was that it was very nice and modern. There's nothing I didn't like. Everyone was helpful, and I spoke with several people who were very nice. The facility was very clean and nice. It was a good place. The layout was nice, and the size of the rooms was good. They were big rooms."

"I toured Harvester Place. I like their courtyard. They had a little putting green. My dad loved to play golf. I like the little shadow boxes that they had at each of the rooms. I like the idea of sharing a bathroom. The staff who toured me around was very nice and very friendly. The place was very clean and very nice."

"My sister moved into Lakeview Memory Care Community and it's working out just beautifully. I couldn't say enough nice things about it. So far, it's the most tremendous place I've been in. When I first went in, it just seemed like it would be perfect for her. And I haven't been disappointed at all. It's just perfect. They are tremendous people - the nurses that they have there and all the help. I have not had one unpleasant experience. They've all been just purely wonderful experiences with all the people there and the care that they give my sister. I haven't found a place better than this. We chose to be in a room with a partner because it's cheaper, but it has been tremendous. It has turned out just perfectly. She has a wonderful roommate. The rooms are so well-kept, and everything is so clean. Every day they're cleaning the room and do what's necessary. They shower her twice a week and they care for her other needs every day. We're not allowed into the room where they eat. I think it's a good idea because they want them to get to eat and talk with each other. If they have a family there, then they never get to communicate with the people who are there. So, I think their idea is very good to do that. She has enjoyed the activities and they have activities every single afternoon, which I think is remarkable. "

"My mom moved to a new smaller room this year and I was so worried how she would adjust. To my surprise she loves it and all the employees are sharing in her excitement and truly show how much they care! Everyone is like family! "
