Memory Care Communities in Streamwood, IL

"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."

"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."

"The staff at Bickford of St. Charles has been great and I'm really happy with the care, but there seems to be a lot hidden costs that were not fully explained. My mother's room is clean and decent-sized. They have weekly outings and different types of exercise that are geared toward the needs of the memory care residents. There are just glitches in the communication from the front of office to the memory care about the costs."

"Clarendale of Addison was very nice. I really liked the room the staff showed me. I liked the idea about their meal plan that if you don't eat a meal, you're not charged for it. It was just a little bit too far from where most of my activities take place, but I really like the Clarendale of Addison. I have friends who live in there and it would be nice if we were there together. The staff was very nice and they called me a couple of times afterwards. It was a very nice experience. The staff showed me a snack shop and that's where he explained how the meal plan went. It was very lovely."

"The food was very, very good at Belmont Village. The facility is very clean and of nice size. The people were very pleasant. It's a very nice place. The staff were very good and very professional. "

"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."

"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."

"I visited The Moorings a couple of years ago before COVID hit. I was looking at it for my mother-in-law. I loved the grounds. I loved the fact that you could walk around, that they had gardens that you could work in. It was very open, and the residents just seemed quite comfortable, and that went for independent care and assisted. Mary really went out of her way to help us out, but knew all the residents, and would say hello or say this is a person that might be able to help you with that question, and connecting us to the community. The dining room was very comfortable, casual, but nice, and it looked like assigned seating. But I did not eat there, we just looked at it. It was definitely showing age in a few places, but overall kept very well, and it was clean. They have a bar that you can sit at. Besides meals, they have housekeeping services, and there are three different levels of care in the assisted living."

"Bickford of St. Charles seemed very clean. The rooms were good size. They had lots of activities. They were very comparable with the other facility. Their facilities and their programs that they had for the residents, I saw them very similar with the other facility. However, it was closer to where my sister lives and it seemed more in the style that my dad would enjoy. "

"It was very open and very clean. They had a nice patio out back. It seemed like they had pretty good activities. They had a fireplace. They had a little bar where they have a happy hour. It's a pretty new facility, so it's clean. Their costs were a little expensive. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and seemed to know a lot about the elderly care facilities. The facility looked pretty good."

"Arden Courts was a very nice facility. The young lady that took me on a tour was very nice. She was very knowledgeable. She knew her job. It was very nice; it was quiet. They had a very nice outdoor courtyard area with a nice enclosed walk-in path. That was a huge consideration for us with my dad: the outdoor accessibility. "

"I highly recommend Waverly Inn Memory Care Community. Mom moved in there. It was excellent. It was clean, the staff was fantastic, very personable, and they treated you like family. The facility had a lot of options, from private rooms to rooms with shared bathrooms. They have activities in the morning and afternoon, throughout the day. Every day there are things to do based on the ability level of the people who are there. It's not the cheapest place around, but you got what you paid for. I told them to take a look at it because it's not a chain like they have multiple locations, but it's not like a big box. It's more of a personalized feel to it."

"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."
