Wonderful find! After searching for what seemed like forever...

We were so lucky to find this Memory Care facility. After trying several places, we got lucky to find Revere Court. They have been the most accommodating, loving place for my mother. We don't know what we would have done if hadn't found this place when we did. just their track record through this pandemic crisis should be enough to make them a top pick. Very clean, nice staff without excessive turnover.

We chose Randall Residence because we needed someplace for mom that had a strong memory care program. The price point also helped us get here because they were cheaper than others we looked into. They are chef prepared meals and my mom enjoys them. She does not normally participate in anything, and she participates in almost every activity that they provide here. They have a Facebook page where they share the activities and some pictures so we can see what she is up to. I would definitely recommend to others looking.

I love the staff and facilities at the Caldwell House in Troy. My wife has had to be in assisted living five times in the last four years and is currently living there now. We have gone to Caldwell House each time. The staff is very friendly, attentive and competent. They make you feel like family. We have had emergency situations that were handled very professionally. I strongly recommend them.

My wife has lived at Revere Court for five years. As her condition has progressed, the folks at Revere Court have adapted to her needs very well. Everyone here is very caring while maintaining their professional protocol. It is a clean, comfortable facility staffed by folks who show their care for my wife every day. It has been her "home" for a long time and I am so glad she is there, thanks to the people providing her care. It's all about the CARE.

Nice place for Loved one.

My father has been in this community since before it was Revere Court and have many years experience with communities and would recommend Revere Court. Beginning with the transition to Revere Court, there has always been good communication with families and positive changes in staff from caregivers to the director. This year with COVID and my father in late stages of dementia have been tougher but I have been happy the determination of the community to keep all residents safe and continue care that I feel has been a blessing. The Community itself has a comfortable, clean large space that feels like home with sitting areas inside and out. My father no longer is able to walk but I will sure miss the times we walked all around the community inside and out. Can’t say enough good about his primary care Dr that is there as well. Definitely would suggest visiting if you need memory care.

We first visited Parkside Manor in February 2020 and immediately knew it would be the right fit for our mother who we needed to place in Memory Care. We planned her move and then Covid lockdown happened, and we waited almost 3 months to finally move her. Parkside gave us weekly updates until our seamless move. We couldn’t be happier with the care she is receiving and the wonderful staff that keeps us informed. As hard as it is to visit a loved one during Covid, we know she has a caring staff and a safe and healthy place she can call home and above all she is happy. Parkside has exceeded our expectations.

A Caring Home

My Mom is a resident at Revere Court and we are extremely pleased with their attention to detail. Prior to Revere, I tried to stay on top of my Mom’s health & well-being, including medications. Now Revere has taken that responsibility on & updates me when appropriate; asking permission whenever an adjustment to meds should be made or physical therapy scheduled. And with Covid, I’ve seen first-hand the effort Revere has made to keep both the staff & residents safe. And whenever I have a question or need to talk with the staff someone is always available. We are very appreciative.

No place better

My wife,[name removed] spent 4 years at Revere Court before her death from FTD. From her first day to her last day the staff of Revere Court treated her with care,concern,and kindness that bordered on the angelic. Words fail me when it comes to describe the day to day care that they showed her. I would not for an instant hesitate to recommend Revere Court of Bolingbrook for any one who needs a loving place for their loved one suffering from dementia of any kind. Charity and love prevail at Revere Court.
