The Landings Senior Living in Batavia, IL

4.3
The staff is extremely friendly. There lots of activities and outings. Beautiful campus and location!

Eden Vista Rock Run in Joliet, IL

3.1
The community and staff have been good all around. It's just the unfortunate that they have changed management/companies multiple times in the past year and a half. Which led to staffing shortages unfortunately. That would be the only issue we have experienced.

The Gardens of Waterford in Aurora, IL

4.0
I have lived here for 5+ years. The food is by far better than other places I've been. Staff are friendly and very helpful. This is Alden's main campus and the grounds are beautiful. Festive holiday decorations make this a very homey atmosphere. I call this "home".
