 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have only visited the Clarendale of Algonquin one time so far as a volunteer for a hospice organization. I was impressed with the cleanliness and organization of this facility. When you first enter, the reception desk asks you to sign in and makes sure that they know who you are going to visit. When I got there, the tenants were coming down to the dining room to prepare for dinner. Those who were wheelchair bound were accompanied by Clarendale staff. All the staff members that I encountered were very friendly and very professional. The rooms are very nice and well maintained. The person I visited was very happy with the facility. Again, this was my first visit, but I don’t expect to see anything different when I visit again.
