Recent reviews of Memory Care in Evanston, IL
Cantata Adult Life Services a CCRC in Brookfield, IL
4.8

I recommend Cantata because they have a robust rehab gym staffed with professionals in physical therapy, occupational therapy, balance, speech/memory therapy. It is located on a quiet tree lined landscaped campus with onsite Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing and Independent Living. The staff communicates very well with the resident and the family. Price is fair market/moderate.

Terra Vista of Oakbrook Terrace
5.0

Great communication. They staff encourages the residents to get involved I wish the rooms were slightly larger. Not a huge deal. We can go to the common areas when we visit The staff knows the residents by name and encourages participation in all of the activities. They seem to really enjoy their jobs.

Cedar Lake Assisted Living & Memory Care in Lake Zurich, IL
5.0

Mom moved to Cedar Lake about three months ago. Mom had lived in her own home for many years and was very reluctant to move out of her home even though she knew the time was coming. We talked with the staff at Cedar Lake for over a year about Mom moving there. The staff was very helpful to us during this process. We never felt pressured to make a decision and truly felt that the staff cared about Mom and about Mom’s well-being. The staff at Cedar Lake have really impressed us as they work hard at making Mom feel comfortable, safe, and welcomed. The staff communicates and works well with us as we partner to provide the best care for Mom. Mom thinks of many of the people on her Care Team as her friends as the team members have shown a real interest in getting to know Mom. Mom is getting wonderful care as the Care Team is able to bring together various resources. We truly are thankful knowing that Mom still has a lot independence in her lovely apartment, while 24-hour help is available to her (and us) when it is needed.
