Alden Management Services

My husband has been in 3 assisted living centers, and the Courts of Waterford is by far the best. The facility is always clean and they do a lot of activities for the residents. The staff is courteous and professional. They also keep the atmosphere family friendly, feeling like home. I trust them and know they do their best for my husband at all times. I see the way they interact with others when their loved ones are not around. I can safely say, all of the residents are safe and well taken care of every day.

They do everything very well. The staff is courteous and professional, and they take really good care of my mom. Everyone that I have come in contact with has been super easy and friendly to deal with. It's been a really good experience, and I would very highly recommend The Gardens of Waterford to anyone who is looking for an assisted living facility for their parents.

5 stars in all categories. We're very happy with our choice.

I love living here at Alden Horizon the independent apartment building. have made a lot of good friends, I have joined the activity committee and we are adding a lot of different activities. there is something every day I am doing playing cards, dominoes, or bingo.

This was another very good facility. This one was a little more clinical in the way it was set up and the way it looked, but the rooms were very nice, the layout was really good from the standpoint of the way that the building was built. The staff there were smack dab in the middle and it looked down the hall of every wing and that was one of the things I really liked. It was a place my grandmother could ahve gone for rehab, they had a basement that was filled with things and a snack bar area, a salon and an outdoor area with a pond. It was definitely more of a hospital-type feel but that's because it's more of a rehab center. The had 20 stations of brand new, high tech equipment, 20 physical therapists in there all doing one things and one of the times we walked in when they were doing a group review and the patients they saw that day and tehy were all doing presentations on what happened and the progress they were making.

We did a lot of shopping around and asked a lot of questions, but when we visited this community we were really impressed with the staff and with the restaurant. The restaurant is a 5 star restaurant the food, waitresses and waiters are excellent.Overall we are very happy and feel we made the right choice.

I like Alden Horizion at Waterford & the possibility of lower rent in future. Every thing else is Great. We are on the wait list. I have lived in Mongomery,so I know the area. So much avilable here for the money. I love it. Mom thinks it's too far from family in St Charles, because she is not familar with area. We are waiting for a call!

lOVED THE INDEPENT LIVING BUILDING! I WOULD MOVE IN NOW BUT THERE IS A WAITING LIST TO GET IN.

we visited here. I would have loved to have chosen this place but don't know if it's medicaid acceptable.

Mom would probably have to move to Alden Estates of Naperville if she were to go on Medicaid. Alden Estates of Naperville is 2-star rated. Alden of Waterford rehab center, the nursing and rehab facility next door to Alden Courts, is also 2-star rated. The nursing facility is a different building than Alden Courts, but is connected via underground walkway. 4/23/2010 The 2-star rating is for the nursing and rehab center, NOT Alden Courts. Apparently one of the defects at the nursing and rehab center had to do with too many carrots in the mixed vegetables! Alden Courts apparently received no defects when surveyed earlier this year. However, still not a good option because of the possibility Mom would have to be moved in the future. Decided to tour this facility anyway since Mom could possibly be moved to the adjacent building. Best option would be Alden of Naperville in the event she goes on Medicaid, but my feeling is that with her limited mobility the neighboring building might be suitable. Asked the director about this on 5/10 -- would need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as to whether Alden of Waterford nursing and rehab would be suitable. Toured the facility today -- Alden Courts is a beautiful facility comparable to Brighton Gardens of Wheaton. They have three distinct levels of care specifically for dementia patients -- in fact the entire building is dedicated to dementia patients. Each care level is in its own "neighborhood", each of which contains a maximum of 22 residents. Each has separate dining facilities. A "sunset room" containing skyights and white lights is also provided to minimize "sunset syndrome" common in dementia patients. Semi-private and private rooms are both very nice -- have furniture provided but will accept additional furniture provided by the residents. Each room as a private baths which is left open, and covered by a curtain rather than a door, to encourage residents to use the bathroom. Big downside, however -- if Mom qualifies for Medicaid she would need to be mcved to Alden Estates of Naperville -- Alden of Waterford nursing home does not take dementia patients for long-term care. Better option than Brighton Gardens, however, in that it is another Alden facility that routinely takes, and gives preference to, Medicaid patients previouly resident in another Non-Medicaid Alden facility. $5,000 semi-private, $6,000 private, plus one-time community fee and additional monthly medication administration fee. Catholic services provided every Sunday. Family can either provide own incontinece supplies, or the facility can order them and bill us depending on quantity purchased.

$459 for 1 bd. Must be 62

What is Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale? It is located at 285 East Army Trail Road, Bloomingdale, IL 60108. When you first enter the building, there is a smiling face greeting you, [name removed]: “Hi, may I help you?” She will steer you to [name removed], [name removed] or [name removed] to help you. These individuals are very knowledgeable about this location. This five-story building is very clean. When walking the hall, you will see railings on both sides, in order to help us stay up. They really help. [Name removed] heads up the maintenance department. Just remember to fill out a work order form at the front desk and he will always get to you to help you with your problems. The nursing staff consists of four outstanding RNs under the guidance of [name removed]. They are there when we fall in the hall, in the lunchroom or apartment. They also answer questions we may have about our medications. All of the CNAs are great with helping with walkers, wheel chairs and giving our medications. Some of us need assistance with personal grooming, bathing and dressing. There is also Home Health Agency located on the first floor. Nurse [name removed] and two therapists, one physical and occupational, have helped many residents with their rehab. [Name removed] heads up the lunchroom staff. The menus show good planning. We have so much to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There re no assigned seats and most of the residents are very courteous. [Name removed] has her hands full for heading up the activities. Just think: how would you like to try keeping close to ninety (90) residents busy, enjoying the days when it’s raining or snowing outside? She does a wonderful job with her staff. We have snacks for the residents that can be picked up at the front desk. Plus, there is a hospitality cart every Friday that goes to every floor. A beauty shop is located on the first floor and is for both men and women. You can check for time scheduled at the front desk. The trash room has bins for recyclable items and to throw the trash down the shoot. We have laundry rooms on the 2nd through 5th floors. These are a few of the remarkable thing that make us enjoy our stay at Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale.

We chose Alden for m y mom after three separate people had shared with us their good experience. As everyone knows its very difficult to chose a nursing home so their recommendations meant a lot to us. My mother spent almost three months here before she died from her inability to tolerate dialysis. The Alden nurses were fabulous - warm, caring, hard working. They were very kind and patient with my mom. The food was good enough and the place is very clean. They could use more CNA's ( but after a year in and out of various places, all of the facilities can use more CNA's). The only bad things was that the social workers were not proactive and seemed kind of dopey. WE had one meeting with them and they were clueless. But overall it was a lovely place for my mother.

Admission experience: It was fine, good. Nursing care: Very professional. Staff courteousness: They are fine. Housekeeping: It's very nice and clean. Food service: You have to remember you are asking questions about a dementia patient so she doesn't really say much, I'm not sure.

My mother has been a resident of Alden Estates for almost 2 years now and I have to say the care she has been given is outstanding!!!! I'm at Alden at least three times a week and at various times and I have observed nothing but kind, loving staff. Thank you Alden for helping me sleep better at night knowing my mom is truly being cared for!

Our mother has lived in Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale for just over one year now. We are very pleased with the care she has been given. Each and every staff member has helped our mom adjust to her new living arrangement. The residents of Alden are cared for by caring, patient and helpful individuals. From maintenance to the director, from the dining room services to activities. The nursing staff is kind and willing to assist Mom as she requires. All the support she receives is provided in such a manner that she still feels independent and in control of her life. Mom’s apartment is perfect for her needs. The common areas are clean, well lit and welcoming. We visit our mom weekly and have found the building to be consistently well-kept. A common sight at Alden is to find groups of people gathered in one of the common rooms, chatting and laughing. Mom loves the activities and participates frequently. We have visited many different facilities in the area. We are very happy with our decision to place Mom in Alden. Thank you, Alden, for the peace of mind!

love the bright people friendly sitting areas on the first floor, the openness of the dining room watching the outside while at the right temperature inside. Friendly staff, ready to assist. That was my first impression of Alden Gardens. And i have been here one and a half years, and my first impressions were right on. Now i play cards, bingo or crafts in the bright rooms, or just stop to chat. Before retiring to my cozy apartment.

We are very happy with Alden Courts of Waterford and our sister's care there. We are especially impressed with the kindness that is always shown to her, even tho, having Dementia, she at times acts out. Of the facilities we toured, Alden is definitely the most attractive and well planned. The hallways are nice and wide and the wings are just the right length, making it feasible for the staff to be aware of what is going on with the patients. Each wing has it's own dining room that is a manageable size, and sitting areas that make for a homey setting. Even with loss of memory, our sister feels familiar and comfortable at Alden. Our thanks to all the staff at Alden!

My mother and 2 aunts purchased an attached home at the Lakes at Waterford Aurora, IL. Ruth who assisted myself and the aforementioned ladies in the process could not have been anymore professional & helpful. She was very knowledgeable about all the contractual & financial aspects and delivered on any promises that she made. My mother and aunts are extremely happy in their new home and I would certainly recommend The Lakes at Waterford Aurora, IL to anyone.

Although my husbands stay was only for a short rehab stay the team there took very good care of him. He really liked and appreciated the therapy team. Very accommodating but also genuinely caring and wanted to make sure that when he went home he would be successful in his continuing healing process. Everyone has been extremely friendly. The staff has been accommodating and kind. They seem like really caring people. People need to realize that the jobs these caregivers have is not an easy one. Everyone should try it for a day! It was a good selection. I would absolutely recommend them for therapy! Thanks to the team there!
