Arden Courts A ProMedica Memory Care Community in Geneva
4.6

Arden Courts Memory Care Community in Geneva is a wonderful location. My mother was here and it was the best place for her. I looked into 8 other locations and Arden Courts checked all the boxes for our family. Flexibility, concerns, comfort, compassion, going out of their way for your loved one. My mother's stay was during COVID and they all took extra precaution to ensure the safety of my mother and other residents. I could call day or night to see how my mother was. I was able to talk to her and follow up on what she was eating, her moods, sleeping habits and all my concerns were answered. When I was able to visit my mom, she was in good spirits and well-dressed and clean. I know she was getting the best care that she could receive as we could not care for her at home. The staff knew me very well and were kind to me and to all my questions and I cannot say enough, but Thank you for all you did for my mom!! Thank you!

Encore at Bolingbrook
4.0

My loved one is a resident at Encore at Bolingbrook. Our experience so far at this facility has been fine. They seem to be doing a good job with my loved one, he is not the easiest to care for. We moved my loved one from his previous facility to this one.

Palos Heights Senior Living
4.8

I lived for 26 years in a townhome by Lake Katherine, just 6 blocks away. It's just myself and Giovanni, my 12 year old Italian Greyhound. My 2,050 sq feet home was just too much to keep up. Plus health issues made me want to downsize.i moved in on [date removed]. I just LOVE living here. Food is great, staff is amazing. I feel safe and I've made numerous friends. There are many amenities....I especially like the housekeeping. I would highly recommend Palos Heights Senior Living....it's a great alternative to living on your own. PS: being able to have my Dogson with me is a huge plus !!!
