Recent reviews of Independent Living in Elmwood Park, 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.

Palos Heights Senior Living

HI, we really enjoy our visit. Your place is very nice. Exceptionally clean. The people, workers and residents alike were very polite and friendly. Our Dad is looking forward to living with you. Thank you so much for making him feel welcome and comfortable.

Brookdale Lisle
5.0

Brookdale Lisle has been with us every step of the way. They made Mom feel like a member of their family right away. The process of moving her from her home to Brookdale was seamless. The crew was fast and efficient. The residents greeted Mom and made her feel welcome. This was my Mothers' decision and she chose Brookdale Lisle.
