The Best Memory Care Communities in Will County, IL

"This facility is so beautiful! Every time I pass Evergreen Memory Care I am amazed at how this facility adds so much to the community. It draws your eyes to the beautiful landscaping and cleanliness of the grounds. I have heard such wonderful things about Evergreen from friends who are thinking about placing their loved ones in such loving hands. They have nothing but great things to say about the delicious food that the residents rave about and how kind the staff is!! I would recommend Evergreen to anyone. Keep up the good work!!! I am definitely keeping this facility in mind for my parent when the time arises. "

"Our experience with Clarendale of Mokena has been very good so far. Mom-in-law is adjusting well. She's playing a lot of cards and everybody is very nice to her. They have entertainment in the pub there. They have outings to restaurants. It's close to a bunch of stores, so they do shopping. They play bunco, bingo, and Kings in the corner. The place is very clean and very well-kept. Mom-in-law said food is a hit or miss, but they always have an option of just sandwiches and things if she doesn't like the entrees. My husband and I ate there and the food was very good. We had turkey sandwiches, burgers, and fries. The staff has been really good, too. Mom-in-law likes everybody. It's just expensive (they all are) for an elderly to live in a decent place like that."

"We toured here for my mom. It was a very good tour. The salesperson was very good. She showed us all the memory care areas and all the common areas, and she went through and explained everything. It was very clear and concise. We had a pleasant visit. The rooms are awesome, everything was topnotch. The room was beautiful, laid out, and you could tell it looked like it would be very comfortable for a loved one. The living atmosphere was very, very pleasant, happy. It looked like someplace where you would want to live. We saw the menu. It looked very good and looked like some meal choices. In the kitchen area we saw the chef and everything looked professional; a professional atmosphere. They had an eating area for the people. It looked like they were building a little gingerbread house, and a couple of the ladies were doing the work, and the other people were kind of like sitting around watching and maybe making suggestions on the build. And I noticed there was an area where they had little puzzles and games, things to interact with. It was just impeccable. It looked like a storybook thing. And the decorations for Christmas and things like that. The displays of the family, they had these columns with pictures of the room where the rooms were, where they had the personal pictures of their family they could bring in, and it's out in the hallway. So it's very, very family oriented."

"I was very pleased with Brookdale Orland Park. It would have been our second choice for my friend. They didn’t have extra help for dementia patients, but I liked it very much. I liked the people, the way it was laid out, and even the rooms, but they just didn’t offer what the other facility had for dementia patients. "

"I had a very good visit with Sunrise of Palos Park. It was very thorough, self explanatory, and had very many options. I enjoyed it, the fact that there are very many options for entertainment for the people that will be living there. It's very spacious. There were options for eating early or later. Those are things that I've noticed, especially for the meals that you could have an early breakfast or a little later breakfast or early lunch, and a little later on lunch. Very clean, lots of light. I think it gives the opportunity for the guests to put the furniture if the guest wishes to have it. The person that was my guide was very thorough, very polite, and very open to questions. The dining area looked very good/looked very nice. It looked like most of the people would have a chance to be on their own at the table, or at most would be like two to the table, so that I kind of liked it as well. I did not see the food or I did not eat anything, but I believe there are options as far as diets and so forth. For activities, I saw they were just simply playing, throwing the dice on the table, I don't know what it is called."

"The Bickford of Tinley Park was very nice. It was pretty much single rooms, which were nice. It's new, clean, and the rooms were laid out well. The staff was very knowledgeable. They have a personal chef running the kitchen, and it looks like they have plenty of activities there, but then the cost was higher."

"I would say it is excellent. The layout is very conducive to my mom having to use a wheelchair and needing assistance at times. The care that I've observed is excellent. The staff is extremely friendly, kind, and willing to go out of their way to help. My mom reports that the food is delicious and she has no complaints or concerns. She's in their assisted living and she has used the salon. The woman there was very helpful and accommodating. She even stayed longer to give my mom a haircut so we appreciate that she worked around my mom's schedule. I think it's a wonderful community for someone that needs assistance. It also offers various levels of care. My mom is highly functional, so she doesn't require as much assistance but knowing that somebody is there when she needs assistance is comforting."

"Porter Place was a very nice community. The residents looked happy. It was very clean, and there's no odor. The staff was very engaging and very attentive. I saw the residents interacting with each other. They have the standard activities. They take them on trips, but I think what stood out about this particular location is they really try and identify what makes their resident feel purposeful. For example, if the person is into gardening, then they will create a responsibility for that particular resident that's into gardening. They can do that as their job. They're not getting paid, but it's the self-satisfaction of this is what I like to do. They have chickens there. If you're into farming, you're feeding the chickens. They offered the resident responsibility if they choose and need that. I really like that about them. The staged living quarters were nice. They had no frills or anything. They were clean, and there's no odor. They offered a shared room or a Jack-and-Jill individual room where you share a bathroom type setup or an actual private room. The rooms were small, but decent. I don't have anything negative to say about it."

"Tinley Court is an exceptionally friendly community. The staff is exceptionally courteous, professional, caring, and concerned about the residents. Three meals a day areincluded. They have a registered nurse on the premises 24/7, and the doctor visits once a week. They are very friendly and supportive of veterans, and they allow smoking in a particular room outside. They have great food, and there are no down payments or community fee, just monthly fees. It is not modern and gorgeous, but it’s homey and lovely. The rooms are basically one size but without kitchenette. "

"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."

"The people at Arden Courts are very good, very friendly and they treat everybody nicely. We're very happy. "

"We did found a place for my father at Sunrise of Naperville. They’re fantastic and have already addressed quite a few issues. He has a new doctor now, and seems to be very happy. The physical therapist found that he had a slow heartbeat, so they immediately contacted the hospital and got everything taken care of; they did a heart monitor test and all is well. My father is doing well. So far, everybody has been great. "

"Since my father had been at Harvester he has received wonderful care with very attentive staff. Ou family is very happy with the care he is getting."

"Sunrise of Willowbrook was very nice, very comfortable feeling, very well lit, and it seems like a happier location than some of the other places I've seen that were kind of darker and more dismal. The staff was very helpful and very nice. At any place I've been to, I've not been disappointed in the helpfulness and the courtesy of anyone who shows us the place. They're always accommodating. They had plenty of activities."
