Nursing Home Communities in Aurora, IL

"I toured Cantata Adult Life Services. What I liked best was that it was very nice and modern. There's nothing I didn't like. Everyone was helpful, and I spoke with several people who were very nice. The facility was very clean and nice. It was a good place. The layout was nice, and the size of the rooms was good. They were big rooms."

"The Moorings of Arlington Heights has a rehab center there, and that's where my husband was transferred from the hospital. He was there for five weeks and received very good care. The nurse practitioner there was excellent. She was great. She was very knowledgeable and worked with my husband to make sure that his meds were correct and taken at a particular time when he needed them. The certified nurse assistants were also great. Most of them were very well trained and knew what my husband needed help with. It was excellent. No complaints from them. The building was very pleasant and very nice. They have a bird sanctuary in the lobby that you can watch. It's a huge structure and very interesting to watch. Everybody was very friendly. When you walk in, you have to sign in, of course, but then that's for safety. They gave you a badge to wear. The physical therapy and occupational therapy area was excellent. It's very bright, and there's plenty of room to move around. It was a very pleasant place. My husband said that the food wasn't highly seasoned, but then you are making food for a big amount of people. He had several meals that he enjoyed. It's a varied menu. They come every day and ask you what you want for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And if you don't want any of the actual choices for that day, they offer sandwiches, burgers or hotdogs, soups or salads. I would recommend The Moorings of Arlington Heights. I met a lot of wonderful caregivers, nurses, and their assistants, and all were very accommodating and concerned about each of their patients. It was great."

"My mother was at Norwood Crossing. She went in sort of in the lowest level of care, she was living pretty independently, and they did medication checks, and then as time went on she became very ill and she unfortunately was admitted into their hospice program and passed away. Nevertheless, I cannot say enough good things about them, they were just unbelievably fabulous through every phase of my mother's time there. They're really loving, fabulous people, and I would not hesitate to recommend people look at that facility. Everybody from the cleaning people to the medical staff, the physical therapists, they were fantastic, and I'm in heathcare, so I'm a hard sell, so they were really good. My mother always had issues with the food, so she did not like the food there, and sadly she complained about it. Early on my mother had her own little apartment, which was really nice because she got to have her own furniture and even her cat. They also had a wing of nursing beds that she stayed in when she was in hospice, and that was fine. They had a whole range of activities both inside as well as outside, and they had transportation, too. For the price point it was also great."

"I toured Alden of Waterford. It was nice. I got there and the lady who helped me was helpful. They have a clubhouse and they have a pool table. They had a little cafeteria area and fireplace, and it was all redone. They had a little golf area outside and a grill. It was nice. I visited the home and it was a two-bedroom, two-bathroom like a townhome there. It was very nice but too much for a friend so she didn't go for it."

"The place was filthy! Residents just sitting around doing nothing. Was in the elevator with a resident that looked and smelled like he just came in off the street.Called to speak to the Director several times, she was never there or always busy. Do not send your loved ones there! "

"Super clean atmosphere and super friendly staff loved Coral on the floor she was great with my great aunt"

"Asbury Gardens is nice, but it was kind of far from me. You will get the whole apartment, and it will be nice. It was a little cleaner than the other ones that I saw. The place was big and the decor was very contemporary. I like the environment. The apartment had a little kitchen, but there was no stove. They only have cabinets, a little refrigerator, their own bed, and their own washroom (which I like). The person who gave me the tour was very professional and helpful. They showed me the menu and it was OK. The facility was very clean."

"My brother stayed in The Pearl of Orchard Valley for rehab. They were very short of help for the most part, so that was part of the problem. Some of the staff was good, some of the staff was not. He seemed to like the food. The facility wasn't clean all the time. The size of the room was good."

"Each and every St. Patrick's staff member treated my Mother as if she were their own Mother. The Carmelite Sisters and the staff took care of my Mom's bodily needs as well as her spiritual needs with loving care. They were also a tremendous support to my family and I. St. Patrick's is a very special place. I can never thank them enough."

"The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was very accessible and adequately equipped. The meals were well prepared and portions were generous. The staff was very responsive and professional as well as communicable. I really enjoyed my stay."

"One of the best places that I went to was Meadowbrook Manor - Naperville. As soon as you walk in, it smelled good. They were very helpful. I was visiting a loved one, and as soon as I walked through the door, someone greeted me. The patients were happy. She enjoyed the food. They had activities. It was a very nice place. The rooms were clean. She was involved with different games, bingo, and activities every day. She was very happy there and so was her roommate and the other people that we saw in the cafeteria. It was a friendly place. I've tasted the food and it was good. Everybody was in uniform, nice, and neat. It was clean. You knew who worked there and who didn't. Everybody had a nametag. If I had to be in a nursing home, that's where I'd want to go."

"My mom will move to The Pearl at The Tillers, a skilled nursing facility in Oswego. I have visited the place. They have rehab and they also only allow 24 long-term patients. The nursing staff is full during the day and there are two nurses at night so that's one per 12 patients. Compared to other skilled nursing facilities, this was the best fit for my mom because she's going to get more help compared to being in one where there's one nurse for every 30 people. The staff is very welcoming and it's a very nice facility. When you first walk in, there are tables, chairs, and couches with electric fireplaces. They even have a Starbucks there. They have a nice daily menu. Any day my mom can get a cheeseburger, a hot dog, or a slice of pizza. There's a list of 5 or 6 things my mom can get every day if she doesn't want what's on the menu they cook daily. They have different things every day."
