Memory Care Communities in Palos Heights, IL

"This is a wonderful campus with independent living in one or two bedroom apartments. This community is faith based and my parents have really enjoyed settling in to this place and it felt like home to them immediately. They travelled to Florida recently but could not wait to get back "home". They enjoy the food and the fellowship with other residents and are proud of their apartment and allow it to be showed to prospective clients at any time. My siblings and I have piece of mind that our parents are safe and are well cared for. There are other services on this campus including assisted living and skilled care if their needs change. I would highly recommend Victorian Village!. "

"Everybody at Porter Place seems to be nice and attentive. The facility is nice, and the room is large enough. Some of the rooms are furnished, but mom has her own furniture. What I don't like about it is that you don't have access and you have to wait to get in and out, so there's always somebody at the front desk so you can get buzzed in, and when it's time for you to leave, you have to find somebody especially if you wait after 8:00 because nobody's at the front desk after 8:00.

"Harvester Place is very nice and fairly new. They have a nurse on staff 24/7. They have their own rooms with monitors and alarms in case the residents try to get out of bed or fall out of bed. The rooms are very clean, too. The nurses and the CNAs are very helpful. I would recommend this place."

"Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park is very good, it's just that you have to be able to do your own transfers there and it's hard for my mom because she's getting weaker. It's a real issue and everybody's trying. She is in their assisted living. The staff is very friendly and she's very satisfied. They have bingo, games, and movie nights. Around the holidays, they would have barbecues where they invite families over to put up tents and stuff for fall. It's nice."

"Charter Senior Living of Hazel Crest is a one-level facility. I could not see where the actual units that the residents lived in where, they said because of COVID. I was able to see the wing that they were in the process of getting ready to start a renovation on. There was obviously no one living in those particular units, but I was able to see the dining room area, and the recreation room area. I don't know what I saw, if that was considered memory care or assisted living. To me, it's all the same because it's a one-level location. It's not as though you go on one floor for assisted living and then another floor for memory care. The dining area was nice and clean. The tenants were eating, so they were socializing. The staff was very nice and very attentive. There was an activity going on, and the residents were very engaged. A performer came in singing. There was live entertainment going on. The grounds were very nice, very manicured, clean, and there was no odor. The courtyard was very peaceful and serene. It's enclosed with a private fence. That's what I really liked about it. If they want to go sit outside on their own, they can, and they have the supervision for it. They're encompassed in because of the privacy fence. I was just not able to see an actual residence. They took me in the area that was about to be rehabbed. What I looked at would not be the actual room that my father would live in. Other than that, the director was very nice, very knowledgeable, definitely seeks to understand what your situation is and wants to help, very resourceful, and very, very accommodating. The staff seemed very friendly."

"We chose Marian Village because of location, the 2-bedroom apartment available was very beautiful and of right size and it had a good location in the building, and we liked that we wouldn't have to cook anymore. We could have dinner there, but we have a full kitchen and we can cook if we want. The place is beautiful, well run, and very clean. The people are very friendly, and they have a lot of good activities, both on-site and offsite. It is a Catholic organization and it has a beautiful chapel, and we are Catholics. We were very well treated and the lunch we had was very good."

"Cantata Adult Life Services was very nice and clean. The apartment was very nice. I liked the fact that it had windows in the bedroom and the living room. The facility is small. It has lots of activities, but it doesn't have what the others have. It isn't as expensive as the others, but it's right up there. That's basically where we need to be. The staff during the tour was excellent, and answered all our questions, and gave us information. Everything was great. We were offered food, but we declined."

"I toured Arden Courts of South Holland, and all they do there is memory care. The rooms were very nice, seemed very comfortable, very homey, didn't have that institutional type deal. They have their own baths, and since it's memory care, there's no kitchen. The staff who assisted me was very professional and I had no problems with anybody. I got to see everything. The activity area was very nice, the outdoor areas or the courtyard areas were nice, the dining area, everything was first class. The dining area was nice, very cozy, like walking into someone's home. Everything was immaculate and nothing was out of place. They were on the high side, I would have to pick them, but they're very nice. Other than that, I have no complaints about anything."

"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."

"I went here. I was waiting 45 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. When I saw the person, he was in a hurry. So, he quickly gave me a folder and showed me a room, and that was it. He showed me a studio. It was open. It was nice, but that's all they showed me. It's modern. It was beautiful, including the grounds and the facility, and there were a lot of parking spots and handicapped spots. The staffing, wonderful nurses, and CNAs were friendly and attentive to the residents."

"I moved my mom to Terra Vista a couple of months ago - she can be difficult and her independent facility could no longer care for her. The staff at Terra Vista got to know her and they have no trouble dealing with any difficult behavior - and they do so in a dignified manner using redirection and other techniques. They have even taken the time to teach me about communication with my mom and how to deal with the failing memory. They keep her busy with activities, the facility is clean, the staff is welcoming and friendly."

"My mother-in-law has moved into American House Oak Park. She's getting assisted living. I like the fact that they keep her busy. They have different activities. She's met quite a few of the residents. They have an exercise class. They have a reading club they do together where they all read the same book and they discuss it. They have a Bible study. They do quite a few things. She's in a one-room apartment, and she has a refrigerator and she doesn't have a stove. She has a refrigerator and a microwave, just the essentials right there in her kitchen. She's got an area where her bed is. She's got a nice big walk-in closet. The bathroom is nice. The bathroom has a roll-in shower where if she was on a walker, she could just roll the walker into the shower and it's a big bathroom. It's got a shower, a toilet, and a sink with the vanity. There's plenty of room. If someone was in a wheelchair, they could maneuver in the bathroom. There's plenty of room to do what they need to do and roll it in and out of the shower. She likes some of the food. She's picky. There are some things she likes and some things she doesn't like. They play games. She loves the different activities. It's more expensive than some of the other ones. They'll take them on the bus, and then they'll take the residents to different outside activities, so they can get out of the building."

"Our tour at Lexington Square of Lombard was nice. The gentleman actually contacted me, and he was very helpful. We met and talked about my mom. Then he took me on a tour of the entire place, specifically the assisted living floor. We saw the dining room and the amenities. We toured the whole place, and it was very nice. The facility was very nice, very fancy, very clean, and very welcoming. All the employees were very nice, I really like the place. It is very nice. The location was good because it was close to my house, so that's one of the reasons I chose to go view the place. He took me to a couple of different rooms: a 1-bedroom and a studio. They were very nice rooms. They had extra curricular activities for them and a beauty shop. There was a special room that you can rent if you wanted to have a party and have your family. They have bus trips and various other things for them to keep them busy."
