Memory Care Communities in Wheaton, IL

"We chose Lexington Square of Lombard for the location because it's closer to most of us compared to some of the others that I looked at, and they are all very caring people. I like their tenure. Most of the staff has been there for quite some time and that was important to me because my cousin is in memory care, and I wanted to make sure that the staff knew how to deal with memory care. Safety is pretty good. I have to have a passkey to go in and to get out. They don't let just anybody in. The residents aren't able to get on the elevator on their own. I like the fact that the residents all wear a little beeper to page a nurse if need be. She has indicated that the food was very good. I like the variety. She is diabetic, and they are paying attention to that, so I thought that was great. There are things that she doesn't like, but I didn't see anybody complaining. They seem to be keeping her quite busy. They have her up and dressed every day. She's always doing something. The facility is very pleasant, very homey, and very clean. Everybody just seems very comfortable there."

"We toured Monarch Landing. It was excellent. The food was excellent. It was very safe and resort-like. The staff was Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They have all levels of care there. I know they just won an award as best in Illinois for skilled care, so that was also a good thing."

"Everybody at Sunrise of Naperville North was very nice, very helpful, very friendly, and very welcoming. They wanted to explain everything clearly. The room they showed me was a sample room. It looked well set up and well designed. It had a good, handicapped-accessible bathroom, which was what we need. It seemed wide enough for a wheelchair. It seemed very organized and they had community areas. It was very nicely done. It's kind of expensive though, but the setup was well thought out. They had an area around the building where people could go take a walk. It's nicely done with trees. They had a good variety of food on the menu. It looked well-balanced and it looked good."

"I went here. I was waiting 45 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. When I saw the person, he was in a hurry. So, he quickly gave me a folder and showed me a room, and that was it. He showed me a studio. It was open. It was nice, but that's all they showed me. It's modern. It was beautiful, including the grounds and the facility, and there were a lot of parking spots and handicapped spots. The staffing, wonderful nurses, and CNAs were friendly and attentive to the residents."

"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."

"I'm a resident of StoryPoint Naperville. It has a very homey atmosphere. I like the people here. The food is real good. In February, I'll be here 11 years. I wouldn't be here if I didn't like it. It's a very nice place to be. My apartment is adequate. It's plenty big enough for what I have here. It's a nice apartment. I have a living room, a bedroom, a large bathroom, a kitchen, and I've got a washer and dryer in the room, which I love. There's a lot of good things about it. There are different floor plans. I've been in the same one since I got here. We have a lot of activities. They have card games, different games, and socials. Especially on Fridays, a person comes in here and plays the piano. Everybody loves that. We will sit around and listen to him and then they have drinks and desserts. They have a nice front porch where you can sit in the good weather. I like the staff. They're very friendly and helpful. The food is very good. There's always something you can find to eat. I've been in different places where I've had therapy and there's no comparison with the food that we have here. I like it here. They'll take you to different stores, for scenic rides, to your appointments for doctors, to eat, and to church. The carpet is always clean. They keep things up real nice here."

"Sunrise at Fountain Square was very nice. There were lots to see. They're very active over there, which is great. There were lots to do if you wish to take part. One of the cooks came in when we were in one of the rooms, introduced himself, and welcomed us. The staff during the tour was great. It was clean."

"My mom moved to a new smaller room this year and I was so worried how she would adjust. To my surprise she loves it and all the employees are sharing in her excitement and truly show how much they care! Everyone is like family! "

"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. "

"Terra Vista is a very nice memory care home. The caregivers are kind and caring people as well as all the rest of the staff that I've encountered and I've met and have known many of them for over two years now. The place is kept very clean and is very nice looking inside and outside and the courtyard outside is beautiful! During the holidays the decorations are everywhere and exceptionally beautiful. The large courtyard outside is so pleasant with countless plants and beautiful shrubs and trees attracting birds and butterflies and plenty of lovely areas to sit and relax and lots of room to take peaceful, leisurely walks. The live entertainment is always performed by talented, nice people as well. Terra Vista offers the residents many different activities to engage in every day. Our family feels very confident that Terra Vista is a great home for our loved one."

"I did an in-person tour of Clarendale of Addison's independent living. The lady who did the tour was very good and very thorough. I was very impressed with the facility. It was very nice and clean. Everybody I've seen in the independent living part seems to be very much in tune with everything and a very friendly group. All in all, I thought it was a very good experience."

"The Roosevelt at Salt Creek is my number 1 pick, but I can't get a room with a laundry room in it. You have to go down the hall like you're at a laundromat, and I just can't do that. Nevertheless, I like everything about it. I would see people in the hallway, and they were very friendly. The marketing people were very well-versed, cooperative, and attentive. They don't have a nursing section for later on, and I just want to make one move. They offered a free lunch the day we were there. They also offered to work with me on the rent. They were remodeling at that time, but the units I visited were very clean, and the dining room was lovely and clean. I love the fact that they have an indoor pool. Swimming is important to me, but that's not a deal breaker because I know most places don't have a swimming pool. However, that was an extra advantage from my standpoint."

"We like it. The place was new, nice, and clean. They offered lots of things. It's out on a major street, but that's OK. They don't have much grounds though. The rooms were nice."
