I really like Clarendale of Schererville, but we're working on the financial part. It's relatively new, and I like the atmosphere. The rooms were gorgeous, the people were friendly, and it didn't feel like you're in a senior community because it didn't smell. It felt homey, the place was clean, and I like their programs. We looked at both independent and assisted living facilities, and they had activities.

Clarendale of Schererville is a wonderful place. The people are very nice there and my friend is treated like a queen; whatever she wants she gets. It's very safe, and the food is really good. This place has done everything they could to make her comfortable. What stood out to me is the place itself and all the people who work there. I've never seen a nicer group of people that's as interested in doing their jobs as well as these people. Any time that you need them, anything you have an issue with or anything that comes up, they take care of it right away. They have a hair salon there which she likes to go to, they have activities to do and they have a crafts room where they do crafts. The other day they had kids come in so the elderly people could hand out Halloween candy for them. They also have movie nights, there's an actual barn in the community, where on Thursday nights they have cowboy stuff, dancing, and drink alcohol. It's almost as close to heaven as you can get without being there. They do all her laundry, bathe her, and provide all her medication, they also bring her up and down when she needs help for dining. She has a button that she wears around her neck, and when she needs anything she hits the button and they're there in just a couple of minutes for anything she may need. They go out periodically to Walgreens and restaurants. For her it's about the perfect place. The food is fantastic, they have their own private chef there and he's very conscious of what they can and can't eat. I have eaten there a couple of times myself and every meal has been fantastic. The cleanliness is top notch, and everything is immaculate. I looked around in other places a little bit, and I found nothing like it. You assume that when you first go there this is the first thing that they want you to see, but she's been there now quite a while and this is just how they are. It's not just a show that they put on to get people to come there; they're actually fantastic the whole time.

My father moved into Clarendale of Schererville. The people are very friendly, it's very clean, and it's a very nice place for him to be. The staff is very friendly and very nice. He's in 1-bedroom, they have two exercise rooms, two lounge rooms, a TV theater room, a salon, and a game room.

Clarendale of Schererville is very nice, new, and very clean. We chose them because it is closer to home. Originally, we started out with respite care for my mother-in-law, but since we like it so much, we decided to make her a resident there. The memory care and staff are very good, but I wish there was more staff. The food is excellent. The price is comparable to the other ones. However, there doesn't seem to be that many activities.
