We have chosen The Cottages of New Lenox for my mother. The person in charge was super sweet, super friendly, and super welcoming. The facility is just like a home atmosphere. Your loved one doesn't feel like they're in a facility, they feel like they're in a home. The atmosphere there is a big deal.
They have fun activities to keep them busy and occupied. Like what my mom does, for some reason, she is always folding napkins and taking napkins off, and they said they can have her fold blankets and laundry. They have stuff that she likes to keep busy and feels like she's doing something. I was expressing to them what my mom is going through now, that she is going to be 90 and with her dementia progressing, and they were knowledgeable.
My mom will have a nice-sized room with her own bathroom and her own living space. It's private. When she opens her room and steps out, she steps out into a home atmosphere. She is like walking out into our family room instead of a hallway. There are couches, a fireplace, and a kitchen there where someone in it is cooking, so she'll feel like she's at home. I'm just glad to see the home atmosphere. I kind of felt she was going to be well taken care of there. The person who assisted me was amazing. It's the unbelievable friendliness, the hospitality, and the understanding she had about my mom's needs, she's like super.

My mom is at The Cottages of New Lenox. It's great. They take good care of her there. It's clean and I'm well informed of everything that's going on. The staff is courteous, kind, and friendly. My mom has been there for two years now. They have an excellent diet. The dining area is always clean, always well kept, and organized. My mom has advanced Alzheimer's, but they still have activities every day. The cost is comparable to everywhere else. As per their Covid-19 protocols, there's very limited access, they have to visit through the windows, and they follow the CDC guidelines.

The Cottages of New Lenox is very interesting. They have cottages and each one has 10 residents. They do assisted living and memory care. They also have levels of memory care, so if a person is a slighter level of memory care, they'll put them in with an assisted living person who is kind of borderline too, so they have a mixing in some areas to see if one can help the other. I thought it was an interesting concept. The rooms are nice, and the facilities are very cozy. They have meals and activities.
