Q:What is the difference between Assisted Living and a Nursing Home?
A:
Assisted living gives you the helping hand you need to keep active, engaged and pursue your passions. You’ll receive assistance with the basic activities of daily living, tailored to your specific needs, such as help with bathing, dressing and grooming, medication management and personal maintenance. Nursing homes, on the other hand, are for those with chronic medical conditions or disabilities, who require round-the-clock care and supervision by licensed professionals.

Q:How does Memory Care differ from Assisted Living?
A:
Heartfelt CONNECTIONS - A Memory Care Program® means members of our memory care team are trained to provide a specific type of compassionate care that is specifically designed for those with memory impairment. In addition, memory care residents live in safe and secure “neighborhoods” to promote socialization, and to provide each individual residence offers purposeful design touches.

Q:What is the benefit of Memory Care vs. In-Home Care?
A:
At our community, residents live in a warm and friendly, family-like neighborhood with the safety of 24-hour staffing and the compassionate care of highly trained personnel who implement proven memory care programs that encourage and celebrate remaining abilities. It would be virtually impossible to duplicate this level of round-the-clock safety, sense of community and socialization and specific expertise in Alzheimer’s care by using an in-home care service.

When faced with the stressful decision of having your parent or parents move out of their home into assisted living I can say with confidence that The Clarendale Six Corners would be the best choice. I speak from experience. A little back story. A year ago we moved our Dad from his beautiful apartment ( edgewater beach apartments bryn mar and lakeshore drive) with lake and downtown views from every window to an assisted living facility in Lincoln park. It was a really hard move as he loved swimming in his pool and chatting with the people that lived and worked in the building and it was layered with extra heaviness and hard as we were also facing the music of our Dad being less independent and not safe living at home alone. The move was exhausting and the adjustment didnt ever happen. After 7 months our Dad continued to decline and then an episode happened where we realized we could never trust the care or the moral compass of the facility where he lived . So we moved out. It was the best decision we ever made.
I had heard of The Clarendale Six corners as I live in old Irving park in Chicago. I had actually looked into it before online and kept Beatrice’s info handy in case we ever wanted to check it out. I made an appt with Beatrice on May 14th and we moved our Dad just 3 days later ! I wanted to wait a couple of months before writing a review so I could be sure I wasn’t dreaming. Our Dad has lived at the Clarendale now for close to 3 months The Clarendale Six Corners brought me and my sister’s stress level from a 10 before Clarendale to a nice solid 1. I no longer have to make that drive to Lincoln park in traffic to check on our Dad at his previous place. Or wake up worried that they were not checking on him . Best yet is he now lives just 5 minutes from me. His apartment at Clarendale is right next to a beautiful patio where he is able to go outside every single day. His apartment is bright and spacious and they keep it nice and clean. It feels like home. The food at Clarendale is top notch ! I find myself joining him for dinner often as I love eating at the Clarendale. As a former recreational therapist I am super impressed with their activity programming . From music and entertainers during their happy hour to art projects, exercise programming , meaningful out-trips and support groups - The Clarendale hit all aspects of a solid recreational therapy program that doesn’t dumb down on the residents as many facilities do. Clarendale Six Corners goes above and beyond . The director Paul is the easiest person to talk to. Just like in any solid company If the person who runs the show is kind and caring so are the staff. Every single person from the waiters in the restaurant to the caring aides to the nurses its like one big family. So If you are reading this review and are grappling with either a move yourself or a move for a parent I can say with no hesitation to say YES to Clarendale. Instead of taking away from your life. The Clarendale Six corners will add to your life 10 fold. Best of luck on your search . Hope to see you at happy hour . I am there every Friday with my Dad 🙂

I was in the midst of writing a view regarding my meeting with Beatrix when it disappeared.. Not sure if you received what I had already written.I live in St Louis and am not ready to make a change at this time. Beatrix met with me and my daughter-in- law. We met with her in an office where she gave us a full description of the facility and necessary information that we needed. Then she took us on a tour, answering our many questions. We were more than satisfied with our time spent during our visit with Beatrix. She has a nice manner about her and left us feeling impressed with Clarendale.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Beatriz R. from the Sales Department at Clarendon. She was most knowledgeable, professional, and kind. Beatriz was interested in my welfare and my previous lifestyle so that my next move would be the best fit. Beatriz knew the floor plans, the amenities and the benefits of this luxurious setting. Most importantly, she took a great deal of time to listen to my needs and show me several different units; they was no rushing nor no hard sales. I felt as though my concerns were very paramount and all my questions were answered. It was a stellar time. All sales agents should learn a lesson from this young, dedicated woman. Thank you, Alice P
