I was happy when I choose this community for memory care for my dad. There layout and free flow between the community is great for a person experiencing memory impairment. I had a virtual tour of the community due to the fact that we couldn't go in, and the advisor was very pleasant and informative when giving us information. I was very much interested in programming for my dad and she went over and showed current programming being implemented and the residents seemed to be having fun. I have not tasted the food to comment on, but my day says it good and if he says it good I will take his word for it! The nurse has been in consistent communication with my brother and I about my dads medication and getting our approval before starting any new med that the doctor has prescribed. I know my dad will thrive here and we are happy we moved dad into Arden Courts of Glen Ellyn.

I had an aunt who was in Arden Courts of Glen Ellyn. It was very clean and seemed to have some organized activities. The security was very tight. It was very nice for the most part. Her one-room apartment was nice and had its own washroom. It always seemed to be clean.

My husband is a current resident, and I will soon be moving him due to recent events that effect his care. They are experiencing problems with keeping all caregiving shifts staffed adequately which is the most vexing problem; however, they also are having problems with the loss of several other key employees. The kitchen is not adequently providing fresh and inviting meals. The physical building is in need of upgrading, i, e., carpeting, painting, and repairing windows and doors. The best attribute they have is their programming under the guidance of a very capable director. I like the layout of the building, and the freedom afforded the residents in a secure environment. The people in charge are very aware of all issues and are actively trying to correct. In my opinion their corporate structure has been a stumbling block; but due to more competition particularly in the area, it appears some good changes are in the works--I am just not willing to 'wait it out'. It also is true their cost structure is quite reasonable, but as an old saying goes, maybe you get what you pay for.

One of the reasons that we moved my aunt out of Arden Courts was not only that it seemed a little bit too restrictive, but also because they had a management change. The sanitation -- as far as I could see -- was very good. The social activities and stuff were not very exciting. They kind of geared towards the lowest common denominator, so my aunt was really not happy there. She didn't feel mentally challenged. The old manager addressed that; the manager herself got personally involved with my aunt in conversations with her and so forth to keep her engaged, but when she left that wasn't there anymore.

Arden Courts of Glen Ellyn was more of a subdued place -- a quiet, restrictive place. But the level of care was excellent. It was just all lower key, less activity, and more quiet. If a person wanted to have a more sedate setting, it would have been OK. The service and the staff were perfect. It was just kind of a different atmosphere, but still very nice. It was a lot smaller and quieter. The people who were there were very accommodating, very nice, very professional, and I could tell they were doing all they could do for the residents, so I thought this would be a good place for my mother too.

My dad is now at Arden Courts. It has the best layout. There is a lot of space to work around. It has the most room outside to walk around. It is not as new as some other facilities. The rooms are just one single room, and they are just one size. What impresses me about this place is the space and the freedom to move around. All of the staff are very helpful.
