Description

About This Community

Nestled among the trees, Caledonia Senior Living & Memory Care formerly known as The Scottish Home provides a beautiful backdrop for you to lead a fulfilling and stress-free life. The five-acre campus is located in the North Riverside Forest Preserve, just a few miles west of downtown Chicago.

For those who are interested in an Assisted Living-style environment, we offer Sheltered Care, which includes all of the conveniences, services and amenities typically associated with Assisted Living communities, plus a nurse on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

At our legacy building, the Scottish Home, you can choose from two lifestyle options within Sheltered Care, depending on how much help you desire or how many tasks you’d like assistance with. Those requiring less help can schedule assistance with daily tasks like bathing or medication management if and when they are needed. For those needing extra support, we also provide on-demand services like wellness checks, assistance with daily life activities and escorts to meals.

Our flexible approach to assisted living allows many people to age in place longer.

Don't let the beautiful new building fool you. When my loved one was their for 8 months they had only 2 C.N.A.s on the floor with 9 patients. This is a liability if 2 staff need to help change someone then no one is left with the other 8 patients wandering around. Just 2 CNAs expected to cook, care, laundry and engage patients. Minimal engagement is allowed when CNAs are that busy and details get over looked like cutting up the patients food, when they are unable. Also no hospital beds or bed rails for safety. My loved one ended up with a broken collarbone well 2 cnas were trying to change him, and suffered a bad fall in the bathroom with no staff noticing for over 1 hour. Don't be deceived by the sales pitch and beauty they do not care about your loved one they only care about the bed being full and paid for.

My mother stayed at Caledonia Senior Living & Memory Care for respite care. It was a pleasant experience. She lost her pants there, but other than that, the people were very knowledgeable and caring; they could handle my mother. She has dementia, so she can be a little trying. The facility looked pretty good.
