Memory Care Communities in Westmont, IL

"From the moment my mom and dad stepped through the doors they were welcomed into the Terra Vista family. My husband and I visited a number of communities and none of them gave us the feeling of community and home that Terra Vista did. There is always a person to greet visitors. Someone always answers the phone, anytime of the day. There are so many activities for the residents to enjoy everyday - art, music, exercise, cooking, bingo, tea parties etc. All of the staff (housekeeping, CNAs, nurses, hospitality, management, etc) knows my parents, and the other residents, calling them by name and talking to them. And there is a balance amount of men and women residents. One of the areas we really really liked was the beautiful courtyard! It’s amazing and Terra Vista has so many activities outside for the residents - cookouts, music, art, walks, visiting with family and friends, etc. The philosophy of Terra Vista is to have people interacting with people and activities throughout the day. Encouraging the residents to participate in the activities, enjoy time in the “family room” spaces not just sitting in their rooms alone. Because of this philosophy, Terra Vista is a community that my husband and I enjoy going to and have fun participating in the activities with my parents. It’s a very inclusive environment. Also, my parents love the food! And they celebrated their 59th anniversary, 93rd birthday and 86th birthday with chef homemade cakes. So so nice! We also receive frequent pictures of my parents having fun at their activities. On the medical side my parents are well cared for and their needs and our concerns are addressed quickly. We are in the loop for their care and the staff is very responsive. I could go on and on, but will end by saying, my parents were “dying” in their single family home, now they are “living” in a caring loving community! Highly recommend!!"

"Had the opportunity to visit this Community for my Dad. We loved the size and the affordability of the apartments. The staff is so friendly and welcoming! My Dad really enjoyed his meal. This is a must see!"

"I moved to The Roosevelt at Salt Creek. I chose it because of its location. The rooms are large and completely reconditioned. They have activities, but I haven't been yet. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. The food is very good. They keep the facilities clean. For the value, I'm thinking that I am paying a little bit more."

"My mom moved to Brighton Gardens of Wheaton and they're very caring and meet her needs. It's small, family-like, and everybody who works there are very nice and helpful. They have music, social things at 3:00, movie nights for men and women (and for both), sports night for the guys, bake sales, my mom gets transported to church every Sunday, and they also have church in the place. The aides are wonderful, very caring, nice, and personable. It's a good fit for my mother. They help her with her shower and they have physical therapy for her. My mom loves the food and has never complained about a meal. The cleanliness is exceptional."

"The Wye Valley apartments were very nice but they were very small. I would have to get rid of an awful lot of stuff before I'm ready to move in there. The group that I belong to is having a meeting there in some of their other rooms. It seemed to me like it was an appropriate place. They have been very generous in providing those. The services they offered to the group that I meet with had been very good. They offered a very nice meeting room, they provided lunch for us and that sort of thing. The food had been quite good. "

"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."

"My mom moved into Sunrise of Naperville. I liked the people that were there. We liked the space and the sense of security. We liked its location because it was very close to me. We just had a good feeling about it when we went, talked to them, and saw the place. We also had recommendations from other people who had loved ones there. The staff members are super friendly, very communicative, helpful, and flexible. The food is very good. It's a very nice building. They keep it clean and well-maintained. They have an entire calendar of activities that they publish."

"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."

"We toured Belmont Village Geneva Road. They have rooms available, and the lady who took us around was great. That place is amazing. They have a brilliant level of care, 100%. It was really great. The location wasn't terrible, but the cost was way too much. My mom couldn't have afforded to stay there for more than two years. I was looking for stretcher dollars a little bit more. I like their layout too. That place was very clean as well. Their main level was beautiful. Everything was really close. The rooms were great. What they would do is they would have gathering areas in the hallway for getting people together to talk about what they were going to do for the day, kind of an invitation, and maybe somebody who was going to say no, maybe they would want to know what the commotion was and go out there. So their whole system was really brilliant and might be able to bring in some stragglers. So I really liked the way their system was over there."

"My mom has moved into HarborChase of Naperville. She seems very happy there. She loves the food, and she has participated in a few activities. She loves it. There's an outside patio area that is private and is off of her room, so she can go outside and sit outside and get fresh air. She enjoys being outside. Especially in the summer when it's warmer, she'll be able to spend a lot of time out there. That was a big selling point for them. My mom's room is great. It feels bigger than the last place that she was at. It has almost a full kitchen. It doesn't have an oven, but it has a microwave and a fridge. It looks like an actual kitchen. It's not just like a little galley kind of when you just walk in and it's to the side. It has a counter that comes out and lots of storage space. It's nice. Her room also has a big open living room area. She's in a one-bedroom, so she has her own bedroom, and the bathroom is off the bedroom. There are tons of storage space. There were a couple of things that we found like a light bulb needs to be replaced or one of the outlets didn't work, but we went to the front desk, and they put in work orders to have those repaired. I'm not sure if it has been fixed yet, but they have a good process for that. In terms of activities, I know my mom has played cards, and they played blackjack one night. She had an appointment to get her nails done. She mentioned that there are a few other activities. I saw a flier on the counter like a fall kind of outing thing that they were having. They will take them to the store and things like that. They have several things every day for them to participate in. I haven't seen their dining room area, but they also have like a little bistro area where if you don't want a full meal, you can just go there and get like a sandwich or something lighter. My mom hasn't fallen since she's been there, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. She seems happy and she likes the food. I would say it's greater than her expectation. I've only met a couple of the staff. A nurse came in to give her her medications and she asked if we wanted to switch to in-house primary care versus her outside primary care and things like that. She was very nice. She checked my mom's blood sugar and gave her her insulin. My mom had mentioned that there's another staff that, does anything she asks for, and the woman does it right away and finds out for her. It seems like the staff are very helpful and attentive. HarborChase of Naperville is a little bit more than what we were paying before, but the amenities seem to be nicer. "

"Sunrise of Naperville was awesome, and we really thought it was high class. My husband and I would love to stay here as it was very nice. The woman who took us on the tour was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The dining area was awesome, and the rooms were beautiful. It was a very good experience. I saw a library, a fireplace where they could sit, a meeting room where family members came, bingo, and buses that will take you to the mall. They do have a lot of activities to keep them active. "

"From the first day that my son took me here at StoryPoint Bolingbrook and it's a year and a half already, I loved it. It's only two stories high. Everybody here is wonderful. The residents are really nice and the staff is really terrific. They do a really great job. They cater to everyone's needs. There's a lot of activities if you want to participate or not. The place is always clean and neat, and the food is good. Everything about this place is wonderful. I have just a one-room apartment and it has a small kitchen with a refrigerator and a microwave and lots of closet space. It has a nice-sized bathroom and it's very comfortable. It's more room than I need. It holds a lot of things. We're always making things and hanging them up or putting them against the window. It's really a great place. It's beautiful. It's not very big, so everybody gets to know everybody. When you meet people in the hall, you always say, hello, how are you? The staff is nice. It's very comfortable here. It's a good value. There's a lot of nice people here."

"It was a whirlwind of activity between mom's Alzheimers diagnosis and getting her into Storypoint. Staff were caring and instrumental in making it happen. Storypoint was recommended by the psych facility that preceded mom's move. I toured Storypoint and liked the modern look, the friendly staff, all the activity, and the other upbeat residents. There are activities like movie nights and socials. The shuttle takes residents places. Staff are friendly and helpful. A zillion on-site or visiting physical therapists, doctors and other Healthcare professionals means mom and others are in the best shape of their lives. While it's been a huge adjustment for mom, she enjoys it on balance."
