My sister moved to The Cottages of New Lenox. I like the friendliness of the staff, the floor plan, the small cottage feel, the open-space environment, and the studio bedroom was perfect. So far she's done some artwork and played some games. They did a bingo game yesterday and she seems to enjoy those games and activities.

My mother moved into the Cottages of New Lenox. So far, it's been very good, but it's a little bit early to judge yet. It seems like a very good place. It's smaller. The people are very friendly there. The food has been good as well. My mom is in a studio with a pretty good-sized bathroom. The dining area is nice and clean. It is expensive, but all these places are expensive. The atmosphere is very nice, clean, and orderly.

My husband is now a resident of The Cottages of New Lenox. I chose it because I live in New Lenox, so it was proximity. The food is very good. He is on a pureed diet. The staff is very good and very pleasant. The place is very clean. My husband's room is a good-sized room. The dining area is nice. It has a lot of windows, so it's very well-lit. The walls have pictures and things. It's decorated nicely, so it's a homey atmosphere with the decorations on the walls and such.

We have chosen The Cottages of New Lenox for my mother. The person in charge was super sweet, super friendly, and super welcoming. The facility is just like a home atmosphere. Your loved one doesn't feel like they're in a facility, they feel like they're in a home. The atmosphere there is a big deal. They have fun activities to keep them busy and occupied. Like what my mom does, for some reason, she is always folding napkins and taking napkins off, and they said they can have her fold blankets and laundry. They have stuff that she likes to keep busy and feels like she's doing something. I was expressing to them what my mom is going through now, that she is going to be 90 and with her dementia progressing, and they were knowledgeable. My mom will have a nice-sized room with her own bathroom and her own living space. It's private. When she opens her room and steps out, she steps out into a home atmosphere. She is like walking out into our family room instead of a hallway. There are couches, a fireplace, and a kitchen there where someone in it is cooking, so she'll feel like she's at home. I'm just glad to see the home atmosphere. I kind of felt she was going to be well taken care of there. The person who assisted me was amazing. It's the unbelievable friendliness, the hospitality, and the understanding she had about my mom's needs, she's like super.

My mom is at The Cottages of New Lenox. It's great. They take good care of her there. It's clean and I'm well informed of everything that's going on. The staff is courteous, kind, and friendly. My mom has been there for two years now. They have an excellent diet. The dining area is always clean, always well kept, and organized. My mom has advanced Alzheimer's, but they still have activities every day. The cost is comparable to everywhere else. As per their Covid-19 protocols, there's very limited access, they have to visit through the windows, and they follow the CDC guidelines.

The Cottages of New Lenox is very interesting. They have cottages and each one has 10 residents. They do assisted living and memory care. They also have levels of memory care, so if a person is a slighter level of memory care, they'll put them in with an assisted living person who is kind of borderline too, so they have a mixing in some areas to see if one can help the other. I thought it was an interesting concept. The rooms are nice, and the facilities are very cozy. They have meals and activities.

My mom was at The Cottages of New Lenox for 10 days, and it was very expensive. The staff was excellent. The food smelled good. Her room was small with a window with a view of the bars from the fence. We had given them a little over $9,000, and she was only there for 10 days. They would not refund any money. They would not discuss anything about deposit in the future and told me that it was a community fee that we paid. I'm not very happy with the management, but it's a beautiful place, new, and clean, and the staff and personnel were very nice and helpful.

We chose The Cottages of New Lenox, and so far, it’s great for my grandmother. The size is perfect for her because it’s a small facility. The caregivers are wonderful. Any minor problems they have, they notify us immediately.

The Cottages was a lovely facility, and the people were great. The staff took a lot of time with us, answered all of our questions, and gave us references to go to other places if we needed to. It was a great place, but it just wasn’t what my husband needed at that time. The staff was professional and caring, and it was a great place for the residents. It had a lot of activities.

My father is at The Cottages. There's five cottages, one is the regular care and not gated, the others were gated and for memory care. My father is in memory care. The room is an adequate and decent-sized room. They post the activities in the day room. The memory care is a secure area. They can improve on the food. My father had a hard time adjusting to the food. He's used to spicy foods. The facilities are very nice. It's got a big courtyard surrounded by the cottages, and they have the freedom to go outside and enjoy the outdoors. It's very clean. They don't seem like they're in a hospital and don't have elevators. It's all on one level. It's all-inclusive senior living. You don't get nickeled-and-dimed. They have an all-inclusive buffet where one price gets you everything. It's more open living.

The Cottages was good. They were friendly, and we felt welcome there. The residents were separated by skill level or something along those lines.

We went to The Cottages of New Lenox. They were nice, but the price was a little bit too high for us. It was nice. Actually they had small groupings like one person for every six people; it was very small and hands-on. We like it, but it was a little bit too pricey for us. They keep them active everyday. They make them interact. Actually, they let them do whatever they were doing in their lives, so if they were cooking before, they let them cook. They really do well over there as well. Overall, it is a great place.

My mother is in The Cottages of New Lenox. The staffs are angels. They are above and beyond. She has been there for three weeks. The rooms are really nice. She has her own bedroom and her own bathroom. She has a little kitchenette type thing where there is a refrigerator, a microwave, and a kitchen sink. You bring your own furniture so it looks like your own room. The food is cooked right there on the premises. There are five cottages, and the cottage she lives in is where the cooking is done. They have a cook that does all the cooking for all the five cottages. Everything is fresh every day. They don't bring it in from a catering service. The dining room has little tables of six. They put two tables of four together. They have table cloths, and they serve with china and silverware. They also have a little centerpiece on the table. They play bingo, and they have arts and crafts. They were making their own Valentines cards while I was there. There are activities that keep them busy. It is all fenced in, and you need to know the code to get in to the outside gate. Each one of us has a little necklace that you wear, you touch it on the pad, and the door opens for you to get in and get out. If anybody in pushes the door to get out, the whole alarm system goes on, and everything locks down. It is very secure.

My mother-in-law is at Encore Senior Village, so everything is fine. She moved in there last November. It is just five minutes from our house. We could almost walk to it if we wanted to. They are small cottages and I like that. It is a new facility, only a couple years old. It is very well-organized and we like the people there. The residents are very nice. The staff is fabulous. We really like this place. My mother-in-law has her own room and her room is very nice. She has her own bathroom with a shower, a sink and toilet and they're all handicapped accessible. She can adjust the temperature in her room and it has a big window so that she can look outside. We were able to bring her own bed and her furniture, so that it looks like home to her.

We didn't take a tour of Paradise Park, but the initial meeting went fine. The staff was very accommodating and very nice. It was a clean facility, no odor at all. However, upon finding out the annual income that my sister gets, we were very nicely told that this was a place that she could not afford.
