Residents are stimulated and enjoy companionship on whatever level they can. StoryPoint offers residents and families peace of mind at thie very difficult stage of life."

"My wife and I were at Brookdale Vernon Hills. They’re great. They’re topnotch. They were very responsive and very friendly. They’re just very professional, capable, and competent. however, we didn’t realize that there would be so few active seniors, and it was difficult to have any companionship. We were hoping to do things with people. They gave us a half price for awhile, and we jumped into it because it was only for a limited time that they would offer that so we didn’t really look at the people. We looked at the premises, which were wonderful, but then when finally saw there were no active seniors, it just didn’t fit us. But to be fair to them, they’re first class. I wouldn’t fault them for who is there. "

"The apartment we saw at Sedgebrook was large and very nice. There were a lot of activities, both indoor and outdoor."

"My sister was living at Ciel Senior Living of Long Grove. It's very clean and very friendly. Their approach was excellent. Their food was sufficient, but it could use a variety. My sister's room was more than adequate. It's a nice size. She was in one with a bedroom, a front room, a kitchenette, and a bathroom. They did Scrabble and bingo, and they went out for lunch."

"My father has only been at Belmont Village Buffalo Grove for a few days, but so far, so good. We chose them because of the staff and the location. They're all very helpful and very personable, and I got a really good feeling when my dad and I visited them. The facility seems very well kept up and a little formal. My dad was a little intimidated because he's a more relaxed kind of guy, but it's very clean and very nice. He's really liked the food so far. He said it was excellent. They had a wine and cheese night last night that I know he went to. He said it was really fun and he enjoyed it. I know they have a wide range of activities going on every day, like they print out a full schedule that they put on their door every morning. They have a little cafe that's open during the day when the kitchen isn't open. There are complimentary beverages and snacks. They have a full library and a computer center. They have laundry right there. Everything's readily available. They have all the doctors onsite and everything, so it's been good. It's not cheap or anything, but you get what you pay for."

"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 like that Addolorata Villa feels like a family community. I like that the residents were out setting up some of the Christmas decorations and the chef stopped to talk to us and there was a guy who mans the gym area like he's there all day. It's just a nice feature. The staff was very friendly. It was clean. One of the drawbacks is that it's kind of spread out. The atmosphere was very pleasant. I only saw two-bedroom rooms and they looked comfortable."

"The staff at the Heathers Senior Homes of Ringwood were all very helpful. The only thing that stopped us from choosing them was the location of the room. We didn't feel it was conducive for what we were looking for. Everybody was in their room or something, so I didn't see people engaging in anything. I think they just had lunch, so they probably all went for their naps."

"It was just as nice as the other ones. They were pet-friendly, which was nice. The drawback for me on this one was its location compared to where I live or where my mother was living. It was not as convenient as the one in Palatine or as the one in South Elgin, but for the amenities, it was a five star. It was clean, the staff was wonderful -- all of that."

"Arden Courts of Northbrook was a really excellent place for Alzheimer's patients. The rooms were small but nice and clean. The staff that I met seemed very professional and very caring. They had sing-alongs. There were small dining areas in four different wings, so that the patients don't have to go far to eat. The staff know the patients and the patients know the staff. They're comfortable because they know where they are and what they're supposed to be doing, which is important for Alzheimer's patients. "

"Pine Brook Pointe was clean. The rooms were a little bit bigger than the other place. It wasn't the director who usually gives the tours, but she was great and pretty knowledgeable about the facility. It was nice looking. The size of the rooms is sufficient. There wasn't much going on. I didn't see any clients."

"I like Belmont Village Glenview very much. The staff was friendly. The place looked nice and clean. I and my two sisters like the place. They had different-sized rooms, and we were very satisfied with the size of the room that we would have chosen for my mom. They have a lot going on every day. They have a book club, and they show movies. It seemed to be pretty good. They had a salon, a library, and a room to get coffee or snacks. Belmont Village Glenview is our favorite. The staff were very nice, too. They seemed to be people that I would be comfortable leaving my mother with. It felt homey."

"I had a nice tour of Bickford of Crystal Lake. I enjoyed the information that was provided, and Kathleen was very professional and very detailed. Everything was great. The rooms were different sizes, for different areas it was different sizes and they were nice sizes. The atmosphere was very secure and nurturing. I was going to reschedule to try a meal there. My grandmother loved church and singing, so they had something like that, they have a gardening option available, so all options were available. It just depends on the individual and their preference."
