Memory Care Communities in Wheeling, IL

"My dad is in assisted living. They've been doing a lot with him. We just set up to have his mental health assessed and they are going to start physical therapy. They've been very attentive to him, have been willing to answer our questions, and have been very cooperative. He hasn't been in it that long, but it's been clean. He is going to be moved into an apartment now. The food has been good too. They've been keeping him active. They do activities every day. I was there yesterday and they had an event, a roaring 20s party with entertainment, food, and gambling for them."

"I toured Sunrise of Buffalo Grove. It was excellent, but also much shorter in one room. There was one room that had furniture in it. I saw the model of what they said would fit for my mom right now. That's all I looked at. I didn't get their layout, and I didn't get a calendar of their activities. They told me about what they do; that there's doctors and staff. They have much more things available too. They have immediate care and staff, 24 hours. They have more nurses on staff, doctors come in once a week, and there's physical therapy. Everything that you need. They have life alert. They come check on you and do medication management. There's the food in the restaurant area; you go down three times a day. She did say that they have an afternoon snack down there. There's activitities, but I didn't physically get to see a calendar. I'm not sure what they do, but yesterday I got a folder with the menu and a calendar of everything for the month. It's very cozy."

"The Moorings is very nice and has independent living, assisted care, and nursing facility. I've eaten in the dining room, and I visited several rooms there. They have an exercise room, a pool, and a large movie room in the assisted living. The staff is very professional. It's bright, cheery, clean, and the records appear to be well kept. They have musical programs."

"At The Park at Vernon Hills, they were friendly. It looked like an exceptional place. The rooms looked like they were well maintained. "

"Sunrise Highland Park was very nice. The staff is very attentive. The place is well kept and pretty accessible. They have group activities and physical games. They would have some speakers come in and some art activities as well. "

"Emerald Place is only memory care. I only wanted facilities where their entire focus was that, so that their staff would be trained for it. It may not be laid out the best, but the way they do it, it appears that it should work. It is brand new, and everything is really sparkling clean. The rooms are a little bigger and nicer than they are at the other place, and that may not be necessarily a good thing based on all the things I've read. The facility itself is gorgeous. The staff seemed nice enough."

"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."

"My mother has moved into Sunrise of Park Ridge, but we've only seen the outside. They won't let us inside the building. The care has been good, and she's making progress. It's a nice building. The reason I picked the facility is because the staff is so nice. They have a garden club, and she likes gardening. Her room is on the ground floor, it's really nice, it's on the corner of the building, and she has four windows. It's a good value for the money. If I kept her at home it's $10,500 to have 24/7 care, but for assisted living it's between $4,000 and $6,000, so it's basically half what it costs at home."

"We love Belmont Village. Mom stayed there and she loved it. Everything was wonderful. I can't say enough about them. "

"StoryPoint Libertyville is an excellent senior living facility. I moved my dad into a two bedroom independent living apartment. He absolutely loves the space. He participates in many of the resident activities. He loves the food. He tells me all the time how friendly and helpful the staff is. It’s been a great transition for him and it’s a load off my mind that he is close by and well taken care of when I’m out of town. It’s been a true blessing for us both."

"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."

"The Sheridan at Park Ridge was wonderful. The facility was very clean and very nice. Our favorite thing was that the garden was right off the memory care. The rooms were very nice. They were not huge, but perfect for what my mother-in-law needed. Their dining area was very clean and very nice. The staff was wonderful, accommodating, and answered all my questions. We met some of the people that run the activities. They do bingo, art, and singing. You are also included in the regular assisted living when they have different performers. They have little outings on their bus. They have a big TV and sitting area."

"My mother seems happy at Sunrise of Schaumburg. She seems well taken care of and well fed. For the most part, we're happy with them. They have sing-alongs, they do movies, they've done cooking classes where they've made cookies, they've done work with beads, making necklaces or bracelets, and they've done painting class. They have a patio or a deck where, weather permitting, they can go outside. There seems to be a lot of confusion with her billing though, but what we've been told is they're trying to correct it. She's in memory care."
