"Clarendale has been a great home for my mom. I just left Peter’s office and I am ecstatic he runs the show there. He walked in and said hello to us during lunch and him and my mom went on and on like Archie and Edith. He had her laughing and that made me feel so much better about our rocky start with mom moving out of our home. Kudos to all the wonderful staff. I couldn’t be more pleased and happy for my mom." - Testimonial from David R.


"My Mother moved in about two weeks ago. I was very stressed with having flown her back to IL this same day and having to move her in there on the same day too. Clarendale made it seamless and stress free. Their dining food is excellent! The nurses and the Care Assistants keep me informed on her medical progress, care and activities she is doing. I would highly recommend the Clarendale for anyone who is looking for quality care for the family." - Testimonial from Dawn R.

"I have never seen my wife [name removed] in such good spirits and seems to be like a different person after being placed in your facility. We talk a lot and I come see her when it’s available and everyone treats you like your part of Clarendale’s family. Best decision I made was to place her with you." - Testimonial from Michael S.

 


"Almost a year ago, we needed to find a place for my Mom to live as she has Parkinson’s. At that time that we were looking, she didn’t need much assistance. But we knew, that in time, like now, she would. We needed to find a place that would be there for her through this process. We are soooo happy that we found Clarendale of Algonquin!!! The caretakers there are AMAZING!!!! They truly go out of their way to help my Mom, especially through trying times. Thank you Clarendale of Algonquin for working hard to find good employees that are truly caring people!!!!" - Testimonial from Cat J.

 


"Thank you, Clarendale. We are so grateful for all you have done for our family. My aunt and uncle have been treated with such kindness and compassion by every one of your staff. It was such a difficult transition moving from their home of many years. Soon, they loved their new home and all you offer. My aunt says she feels loved and cared for like family. We are thankful for the excellent leadership of the new Executive Director, Peter Franken. This pandemic has been uncertain and scary, but we are so reassured by his commitment to the safety and well-being of the residents and open communication with their loved ones. Thank you again. Words can’t express our gratitude."- Testimonial from Jennifer M.

"This past Friday, our chef and his staff served the best salmon I have ever tasted. He called it Baked Salmon En Croute with Saffron White Butter Sauce. Along with him mouth-watering entree, creamed mashed potato, a seasonal medley of vegetables and, of course, choice salad and dessert. Count not stop bragging about it to my family."- Testimonial from Betty S.


"The Clarendale senior community has been a blessing for my parents! They relocated back to Illinois in the fall and were very apprehensive about any type of assisted living community- since their relocation they have been very pleased. The staff helped my parents transition into the community. My parents found it to be very welcoming, respectful, and caring. Both parents love the warm and friendly community and most importantly they love the caregivers (QLS’s) and nurses that assist them. The community is lovely, offers much to do, and my parents apartment has everything it needs. As their daughter, I appreciate all the love, respect, and help that the Clarendale staff has provided my parents. The quality of care is OUTSTANDING!"- Testimonial from Doris G.
