Memory Care Communities in Schaumburg, IL

"We chose here because of the location and because they were so accommodating. They were not supposed to open until May, but they opened early and it just worked out for my husband. The move-in has been very good. He is memory care. They are very accommodating and helpful. It is new, well-furnished, very open, light, and airy. It is also very comfortable with lots of open seating. They have very nice courtyards. The food is very good with good variety too."

"We toured Waverly Inn, which is a memory care community. It was well-kept, it was newer than the other place I toured, and it was a very positive experience. I didn't meet a whole lot of staff during the tour but everyone was nice. The rooms were small but adequate, and clean, and the dining area was also nice, clean, and well-kept. They had open areas to congregate, and there was a courtyard outside with different people."

"We loved Clarendale of Addison. The people were very nice and my parents absolutely loved it. The tour was great, the woman we talked to was great, everybody was very pleasant, and the residents talked to us and were very kind. It was all very nice. The rooms were very nice, large, and well-kept. We haven't found an efficiency room that's large enough, but my parents liked it for how it's kept up, and that the room has a separate bedroom. It was nice and very clean, and in good condition as far as how it looked. I would certainly recommend this community to anybody at all. Everything was great and based on the list of activities, my parents would have been very happy there. The whole thing would have been very nice."

"Hearthwood Senior Living had a full range of services, from you know, three days a week meals if you wanted them, complete apartments of various sizes, and reasonable monthly rents or fees, and no entrance fee. That was a big deal. As many places do, they had craft rooms, a library, and a swimming pool. The staff was wonderful, and the people were active, very friendly, and welcoming. It's very clean, and they have a new owner, so they're undergoing a remodeling with new carpeting and new woodwork, and so forth. We toured for independent living, but it's a continuous care community, so there is a wing for rehab or for more assisted living if you need it."

"My father has been in here. It's maybe not as much care as he actually needs unfortunately, but since he's still new there, we have to kind of check it out. They have quite a few activities, but he hasn't been able to do them yet. They have balloon twirling and stuff like that. What I liked the most was it's very close to my house, and they were able to do a two-person assist."

"My wife is in Addolorata Villa. They watch movies, and they play games. They go on a bus trip twice a week, and they go to different stores and other places. My wife gets three meals a day. The staff is fine. I think they are doing a good job. They are quick in responding to her needs. I think it is a nice place. They keep her busy all day. "

"I really enjoyed Belmont Village of Buffalo Grove. They have so many things that make assisted living seem fun instead of dependent. They offer many activities for their residents to participate in, and it helps them interact with others and make friends. They also offer transportation to places like stores and churches so residents aren't cooped up inside. Of course, the most reassuring is the well-trained staff and the licensed nurse who is available 24/7. The bedrooms and main room have a home-y feel and they offer medium-sized rooms and larger rooms. There is also a workout room for more fit residents. The dining room is very nice and the food looked delicious, served in restaurant style dining. Overall, every resident at Belmont Village looked happy, healthy, and well taken care of. No one was neglected, but everyone was still independent. The staff and administration were very kind and I almost applied for a job there because it looked so awesome! "

"It is very clean. The rooms are spacious, and the staff is very accommodating. The caregivers are awesome and my friend seems to like it. She is a level two memory care and they could go up to level six. So, that was a big plus for us. The day that we went to visit her, they gave us some sliders and some pancakes, and the food was good. Once you leave your room in the morning, you can't go back into it unless you need to use the bathroom. The doors are locked and they don't want people hanging out in their room. They have group sessions, tdo arts and crafts, do physical therapy, and play games. She'll play bingo, they watch movies, and they have visitors like dogs that come in. So, they keep the residents pretty active until it's time to go to bed."

"I do have my wife in Arden Courts. Why did I pick this place? Partly because of all information I received from it and the feedback I got from other people who used it, saying they were very pleased with it, so I thought that it was a very good place. The staff is very good. We're really happy with the staff. They are very caring and very concerned. They're very good. My wife is really well cared for. Food is very adequate. It is very good. They do a lot of games. They have programs. They bringing people in for concerts. They do different kinds of word games as well as bean toss and a number of other kinds of games. They have music and movement kinds of things. They do walking. There is a variety of activities. What I like best about this place? I think it is the personality and the care that my wife receives there. She seems very content. I would recommend Arden Courts, certainly! "

"I went to Ciel Senior Living of Long Grove. I like it a lot. I like how modernized it is, the room space, and the way the staff was nice to the residents. They are professional, nice, and sweet. They provide three meals a day."

"My father has only been here for a few weeks now. It's beautiful, and it's practically new. Everything is clean and fresh. The staff is very helpful and very knowledgeable about dementia. The room is very spacious, and it's got a separate bathroom with shower, a nice huge window to look outside, and plenty of closet space. They have pet therapy come in. I was impressed at how clean it was, how spacious it was, and how much they knew about dementia. "

"My sister’s mother-in-law had a stroke and was placed in Belmont Village. She was there for a long time, and they let her little puppy come with her. She liked it there, just not at first, obviously, but she learned to like it. They still call my sister and see how she is doing. Her mother-in-law’s been gone since May, but my sister still goes back there and brings cookies for the au pairs because they were so wonderful. The place was very clean and kept-up very nicely; it was a very nice place in general. She was a dancer all her years, and they did plays; she was Dorothy and her little dog was Toto. She got her nails and hair cut and done there. They just had all different kinds of stuff like Halloween plays and wine and cheese on Wednesdays. They always include the families. "

"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."

"Oak Crest looked great, and the facilities were fairly new. People we spoke to were very sensitive to our needs and what we're looking for. It was just a good option. The dining room was very lovely and everything was new, modern, open, breezy, had a lot of windows and very nice. They had separate kitchen and dining areas for families if they want to have a private party, a movie theater room, wine cellar, and a number of activities for a lot of interest levels. "
