I checked out Mt. Carmel Personal Care Home. The administration seemed okay, but the facility seemed pretty old and outdated too. I did not like it at all, it was going to be a good distance from my home, and it would be a bad drive to get there to see my mom. The room I visited was clean.

I really liked Bickford of Crystal Lake. It was beautiful and I liked the activities they had. I liked everything they offered. The staff member who showed me around was awesome and great. The place felt homey. The bar and the food were nice. I highly recommend it.

Cathy

My mother was in Laurel Park when she fell and broke her hip. You would press the button and nobody would come. They set my mother on the pot, they left her in the bathroom unattended, she fell, and she split her hip wide open. She did her rehab in the morning, and they would take her down and set them in the hall with some of the other ladies and they would sit there all day long. It used to be assisted living, but turned into a rehab center. It was clean, but it was understaffed. The food looked fine, but her food was pureed. The building was clean, they had a pretty nice rehab area, and it did not have a urine smell.

We liked Mt. Carmel Personal Care Home, but I won't put my dad in there. They were nice, but the place was a lot older. The staff member who showed us around was nice and she said that you could bring your loved one there when you want to go out of town for two or three days, or if you want to just have a day of doing nothing. We could bring Dad and he could stay for a few hours up to 12 hours a day. We loved that part of it. It was more like home. He would share a room there. They have nice, private rooms, but there was nothing available at the time.

Tom

We recommended Clarendale of Algonquin to our parents. The lady was very informative and helpful. We really liked the facility. We got a lovely tour of the place. The rooms were small. They have movies, they have activities, and they can go in and out. They do the laundry, provide meals, housekeeping, and transportation.

My father moved into the assisted living level of Clarendale of Algonquin. It's a very nice community. We've had some good staff members and some bad ones, but most of them are friendly. His room is very nice, clean, it's well lit, and there's a lot of room for him to move around. The grounds and location are good, it's well-kept, and clean.

Wanda

My parents are currently here. We chose it because of their availability and the services they offer. It's a great place. They offer field trips, bingo, crafts, movies, family get-togethers, bible study, and just about anything that an elderly person could want. The food is great and they have a full dining room service. They give them choices. They have a chef selection of the day and if they're not happy with that. They can order sandwiches, soups, or other items, so they're not limited. Everything is done with full table settings, complete with silverware, crystal, and tablecloths. It's like a five-star dining area.

Paula

It was very nice. Everything was on one level, the décor was pleasing, and it was clean and didn't smell funny. The person who gave us the tour was very knowledgeable. It was getting close to lunch hour, so I didn't see any activities.

Missy

There was a very helpful person at Mt. Carmel Personal Care Home that showed us the facility, but the place was older, and I just wasn't impressed. The room size was good and very appropriate. They need to update their facility.
