Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Cook County, 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.

Churchill Place in Glen Ellyn, IL
5.0

Based on our experience I would recommend. So far everything has been very good no problems and everyone has been great and easy to work with.

Oak Trace a CCRC in Downers Grove, IL
4.8

They're short of help, all the way around. That's the main challenge. Sometimes it's hard to find a nurse on the nursing floor. But I really like the assisted living building. They're very good with their activities and keeping their people up to date on things. I had one relative move to the wellness center from assisted living, and I would not do that if you can avoid it. They don't have the activities, and they're kind of isolated in wellness.
