"We have signed up with Bickford of Aurora. We've already put our deposit and everything down, so we're all set. We drove by a few other providers, but we actually went and physically went in there because it's kind of centrally located for all the family members, it's brand new and they have space available. It was very nice that's why we decided to go with it. They have very nice people. We're going in through memory care, so the room is just a studio. The security was very nice. You go into the main doorway, and they have someone come out and meet you. They checked our temperature, took some information, and then they gave us a tour. We saw a little exercise area. They showed me where you can get their haircuts, the meet-and-greet area, and the craft area. They showed us a lot of things. We walked through the whole facility. They have a memory songbook that you put together and then they have people come in and talk one-on-one with my mom, they get her out with the group, and they play trivia and other games and things like that if she would like to do that. They had a lot of things that she could pick up on if she wanted."

"Belmont Village Geneva Road was very good. I liked the place. The person that showed me around was very knowledgeable, very helpful, and was able to answer all my questions. The rooms were average to all the other ones I visited. It seemed like everybody was very happy there. They're very welcoming. They were playing bingo at the time. Everything looked very good and well-maintained."

"I thought it was nice, but we couldn't afford it. The lady who helped us was really very pleasant, very nice, and gave us a lot of information and a nice tour of the place. It was very clean and beautiful. The apartment she showed us was very nice. "

"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. "

"The Woodlands at Canterfield was beautiful. The apartments were fine, clean, nice, and brand new. We met with several people and they were all very nice and professional. They had a bunch of games going. It's brand new so there were not that many people there yet. We saw people in the lunchroom and it looked very nice. The dining area was beautiful. I didn't eat there. My brother and my mom ate there and they said the food was excellent. We met with several different people and overall everybody was great, but some were better than others."

"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."

"I love Alden Courts of Waterford. They were doing a pet adoption event at that time, and a lot of the residents were there petting the animals and their families came. They had absolutely beautiful grounds. I had never seen such a beautiful facility. It was huge, but the memory care part was much smaller. If my husband were to go somewhere, that's where he would have to go. They do outings, shopping, and a lot of things. I've seen nothing as nice and as peaceful as this place."

"I was happy when I choose this community for memory care for my dad. There layout and free flow between the community is great for a person experiencing memory impairment. I had a virtual tour of the community due to the fact that we couldn't go in, and the advisor was very pleasant and informative when giving us information. I was very much interested in programming for my dad and she went over and showed current programming being implemented and the residents seemed to be having fun. I have not tasted the food to comment on, but my day says it good and if he says it good I will take his word for it! The nurse has been in consistent communication with my brother and I about my dads medication and getting our approval before starting any new med that the doctor has prescribed. I know my dad will thrive here and we are happy we moved dad into Arden Courts of Glen Ellyn. "

"I visited Encore Village of Schaumburg. The staff was great. It was a pretty nice place. I had no problem. It was clean and convenient to get around. Everything was right there. You didn't have to walk them out to get here and there. The patio was clean and beautiful."

"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 wife is in The Reserve at Oswego. It's a nice place. I'm there every day, twice a day, I talk to them on a regular basis. It's very good communication between the facility and myself. I'm very happy with it. I have no complaints at all about the facility. She has a very comfortable, private room, it's a pretty good size, and everything that we need is there. It's a relatively new facility, probably only three or four years old. They have quite a few activities, but my wife is not partaking that much. I have no complaints about the food. It's only five minutes from my house, and that's another big plus."

"I liked Lexington Square of Lombard. It's a multilevel facility. They had five floors, so it was a little different. Some of the other ones had one or two floors, but this one was a little bit bigger. They had a really big atrium in the middle and it was very bright and well-lit. The people kind of hang out around that area on the different floors, so I liked that about it. The dining room was very nice. It was probably one of the nicest dining rooms I saw in terms of how it looked. Their menu looked really good. They had a lot of activities. It was very clean and looked very nice. They had kind of high-end finishes on the different rooms, the hallways, and the multipurpose area. They have studios, one- and two-bedrooms. The staff was very good, very knowledgeable, and very nice. He took a lot of time to show me around. We weren't rushed at all. They have a beauty salon. They have more than one library."
