Nursing Homes Community in Bloomingdale, Illinois

Thomas

My mother is in Sunrise of Bloomingdale. The care is fine. I talked to the caregivers, the nurse, and the manager. Everyone is doing very well, except she's not crazy about the food. She forgets to order from the menu, so they've been ordering for her. One of her caregivers is going to go every day and help her order lunch. She has a studio with her own furniture, her own TV, and an easy chair. Right now, just about everybody is assigned to their rooms because of COVID, but they're supposed to open up in the middle of April when everybody has gotten their shots. It's a really nice and comfortable place. They have several rooms, a cafeteria-style eating area, and right behind the building there is a forest preserve, so it's very pleasant. I haven't been allowed in the building. I've only looked at pictures, but the communication is very good. It's only been three or four weeks, but so far, it's OK. She has very pleasant caregivers. She has two very pleasant women who take care of her.

Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale was very cheery with a lot of lights, and it appeared very friendly. The person who assisted me with the tour was very knowledgeable and she knew a lot of the residents. There were all kinds of activities going on while we were there, like a musical and a sing-along program. They serve three meals a day, so the apartments don't have kitchen facilities. You can have a microwave. The whole building was very well kept and very well appointed. They have laundry facilities and they supply the laundry detergents and softeners, which I found very interesting.

Sunrise looks very nice. It's in a beautiful location in Bloomingdale, but it's way too expensive, and out of most people's range. The dining room looked nice, but the rooms were small. It seemed decent enough.
