Assisted Living Communities in Schaumburg, IL

"It was clean and the people there were a lot active. The rooms looked pretty good. They had a nice setup for the dining room. It didn't have a full wall. It only had a half wall so residents could see you and you could see the residents. The main desk was right as you walked in, so that was convenient, and we didn't have to look for it. The staff was very informative and very professional. She followed up with me, which was nice. She was very bubbly and very happy. We were informed of the activities, how they presented the meals, that they had alternative meals, and we were shown a room. They had a barbershop and a library too."

"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."

"My grandmother was at Alden Gardens for about four or five months and the place was phenomenal. It was a new construction and very clean. The assisted living facility was really good. They have CNAs that came around and they do well-being checks a couple of times a day. They would help with laundry. It was basically set up like a studio apartment or a one-bedroom apartment with a bath, a bedroom and a kitchenette type thing with a refrigerator. You could have a toaster or microwave there. I believed they also had one and two bedroom apartments. It was really nice. There was a dining room downstairs. At that time, she was very active. They had exercise classes and art classes. They had a library. It has a secure entrance where you had to be buzzed in. It was actually locked down for residents' safety after a certain time at night. It was a really nice facility. "

"My mother is in Hearthwood Senior Living. I like the fact that it has independent living, then assisted living, and then the possibility of memory care if that is how she progresses in her life. We are only 10 minutes away, and that was one of the reasons why I chose this place. Every single room that's independent living has a balcony or a patio, depending on what floor you're on. Also, there are outside paths that she can walk on. There's a path that goes around a pond that's a three-tenths-of-a-mile pond. Then there are outside areas that are contained within parts of the buildings where you can sit at tables and chairs. It's a big patio with multiple areas. I like the fact that she can get out and walk around outside when she wants to. Everybody seems very happy there, not just the staff, but all the people who are there. They're very friendly and always willing to help. You ask anybody who's in the hall how to get somewhere, and they'll give you directions or help you find it. I've never had a problem. We've been able to eat there at least six or seven times with my mom, and everything is very good, and there's a nice assortment. Everything is very clean. Right now, they're renovating certain areas, but they have those cordoned off so that you can't go there. There's no dust or anything when they're doing their work. They're doing the work during the daylight hours when everybody would be awake anyway if they're pounding or anything, so it's not a disturbance. My mom said there are a few things that have had to be moved because they're renovating the areas where their activities are. That's the only thing she doesn't like because then you have to go to a different place than what you were used to going to. They have something every day, Monday through Friday, at different hours. They have a pool there. They have a quilting group and a singing group. They usually have at least one time of taking the people out to either a store or a restaurant or they had a tea out at a greenhouse. They're going to go to Cantigny at the end of this month. They have outings at least once a week, sometimes twice a week. To me, it's perfect because she's 95 going on 96, so she does not drive anymore, and this way she can get out with other people."

"My father-in-law is here now. It just works out well. They have a memory care center that my mother-in-law could go into and then assisted living for my father-in-law, so it's just a good fit for them. My father-in-law seems to be happy. We can't visit him but everything is going well. He really likes the food. It's been really good. I think my father-in-law is very happy with the staff."

"Rooms are very clean Staff is very nice Food is delicious & plentiful"

"My dad has been there in memory care for almost 4 years. The staff has been wonderful dealing with him and being accommodating for my mom who visited everyday. When covid hit the facility rose to the challenge. Recently the facility started to allow visitors again and we were able to connect with dad before he passed away this week. Again, the staff was so accommodating and helpful as we spent time with my dad during his final days. We really appreciate everyone who helped with my dad over these 4 years. Thank you . "

"I recently moved my parents into a 2 bedroom apartment at Bridgeway Of Bensenville. They have made lots of new friends by attending all the daily activities. Dads vision has deteriorated recently which required him to sell his car, but that hasn't slowed them down since Bridgeway provides transportation to everywhere they need to go. Overall we are very pleased with Bridgeway!"

"My mom is currently at Discovery Village Des Plaines. They've been very helpful and straightforward with us and open to talking to us about any problems and issues. It has been a very good two-way communication with them. They've been very approachable in dealing with any issues, so they've done very well. I have not sampled the food. Dealing with my elderly mom, she always complains about all the food, but as far as I'm aware, there are no problems with the food. They're actually in the process right now of redecorating, painting, and new furniture. They're updating. It's a new company that just bought them, so they're redoing everything right now. I didn't see a big problem before. I think it's going to be better. They also have several activities to keep them busy. They have different themed dinners for countries. They do a Kentucky Derby activity. They did St. Patrick's party. They have bingo and movie nights. There seems to be something almost every night or even during the day. I think they do pretty good for what we were pricing around. I think they're fairly reasonable. They weren't the most expensive, and they weren't the cheapest, so they were pretty good."

"I went to see Addolorata Villa. They have a 2-bedroom and 2-bath. I looked at assisted living. It’s not new and it is showing more wear and tear because it is older. The people are very nice. They don’t have many amenities, but they are not expensive. They have medical people who come in the place so the residents don’t have to go out. It’s also Catholic and my parents are Catholic and they like that it has a chapel. That is another plus for us. "

"When I moved my mother to Belmont Village, I needed a place in a hurry. I had looked there and another facility the previous year but decided to wait. Suddenly, my mother needed more supervision due to her advancing dementia. I have found the staff at Belmont Village to be very conscientious. They really seem to care about and for their residents. When my mother had only been there a few weeks staff members who I did not know knew that I was her daughter. The staff notifies me when they have concerns about any changes in her behavior or eating habits. They work hard to keep the residents involved in the activities. My mother is in the Circle of Friends program so she may have more organized activities than some other residents. Belmont Village is always clean. I have never noticed any unpleasant odor and I am there quite often. I would highly recommend Belmont Village for people with some dementia who need assistance. I don't really know much about other aspects of the facility. "

"I like Ciel Long Grove. I have tried their food, and it was very good. I had a cheeseburger. It was the best food that I've had of all places. The appearance of the facility was very nice. The people were very friendly and very nice. I liked the rooms. The activities they offered were pretty decent, too. The person who helped me was very, very informative and very nice. Everyone seemed very nice. I met a lot of the staff. The community feels a little bit smaller. Everyone works well together and enjoys working with each other."

"I toured it and that was lovely. It seemed very active, too. A lot of things were going on when I was there. However, religiously my mom is very Catholic, and there's a majority of Jewish people there, so it just didn't seem like it was going to be a good fit permanently. The place itself was lovely, and the people and the residents seemed like they were happy and all that, so that was good. The apartment was nice too."

"Both mom and dad are at Belmont Village at Geneva Road. They provide complete care of his current dementia situation. They had special classes that he can attend to help improve his mental health. The food is outstanding. I have eaten multiple meals there -- both the menu and specials -- and I think they are by far the best of the facilities that we've visited. "
