Memory Care Communities in South Elgin, IL

"The biggest selling point of GreenFields of Geneva for us was that it has a life plan, so my sister can stay there the rest of her life. She moved there a week ago, and she's in assisted living. Everyone there is very polite. The place is very clean, and the food smells wonderful. I'm very pleased. The staff is very helpful. They answer any questions that I have, and they seem to know what they're talking about. I haven't tasted the food, but it looks wonderful. It smells delicious, and everyone says it's very good. My sister is in quarantine right now because she came from another nursing home; she's not able to go down. They do bring her food up, and she's been very happy with it. Her room is clean and big enough. Her furniture fits well there, and she has a nice view outside. I've looked at several places and GreenFields is comparable or better than some of the other places that I looked at."

"It was an excellent, modern, and very beautiful facility. The people were great. I liked that they had a lot of options for dining and a wide variety of appealing social activities and amenities, like an excellent fitness center and a pretty unique pool."

"Alden Courts of Huntley is amazing. The staff is great and caring. They take great care of the residents and are extremely helpful and do a great job of communicating with family members. This is the nicest elder care facility I have ever seen. So luck to have my mother in this facility! 5 Stars!!!!"

"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. "

"We visited Belmont Village Senior Living Geneva Road. We were impressed with everything -- the overall appearance, the room sizes, the cleanliness and the brightness. The staff was very outgoing, friendly, and helpful. They were just lovely. They were right across the street from a shopping center, and they do have service if people needed to go shopping, to a doctor's appointment, or whereever else they need to go. "

"I like that the memory care of Arden Courts of Elk Grove is a separate building and it's clean. The staff is very nice. It's very colorful and there's a lot of staff. I just really liked it. There are activities from the minute mom gets up until the minute she goes to bed. She is active the whole time she's there, which is very important for memory care. The food is very good. They have hairdressing, doctors coming into her, and a craft area. Since it's a separate building for memory care, Mom doesn't have to be locked away from the other residents. For me, that feels better. They have everything that they need and they're very well cared for."

"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. "

"Monarch Landing was a nice place, but they only offer apartments they don?t offer town houses and I want a town house. "

"I had an aunt who was in Arden Courts of Glen Ellyn. It was very clean and seemed to have some organized activities. The security was very tight. It was very nice for the most part. Her one-room apartment was nice and had its own washroom. It always seemed to be clean."

"The Heathers Senior Homes of Lake in the Hills was pricier than the others I toured. The rooms were nice. I loved the showers because you can just wheel your wheelchair and stuff in. They showed me a one-bedroom and a studio. They have a TV room, games, and different activities. The staff was all great. Everything was clean and well-kept."

"Bickford of Aurora was very good. What I liked least was that they didn't concentrate on memory care, but the facility itself was magnificent. They've got nice people. They have memory care, but their concentration is more on assisted living. If I put my uncle in Bickford, he would probably have to be in assisted living. Their memory care is way more expensive. It's over $9000. They're excellent. Everybody I talked to was so supportive. My uncle is Italian. He likes to have a glass of wine. They said, "You bring wine and we'll serve it to him at lunch or dinner." They were willing to accommodate him. It's a brand new place. It's gorgeous. They have a little bistro. They have a big living area. The dining room is more like a restaurant. It was nice. I wouldn't mind living there."

"Bickford of Crystal Lake was very nice. The woman and the nurse that we had our interview with were so nice. The apartments, the outside, and everything was nice. It just felt a little smaller. It seemed like a very homey place. When we came in, they were listening to a band. When we were leaving, they were all getting ready to eat dinner. They had different types of rooms. The chef brought my husband a bowl of soup and it was delicious and fresh. They had fruit bowls everywhere."

"Everyone was really friendly. It was very clean. The apartment that my father was going to move into had been all updated and was spotless. It was small, but there was plenty of room. It had a washer and dryer in the unit which was great. It would've been really wonderful if it would've worked. They had all kinds of activities and an exercise class was going on in one of the big rooms when I was there. There's a nice meeting room where people can sit, drink coffee, and read the paper. It was nice."
