A very satisfactory memory-care facility.
Well-trained, efficient staff in a well-maintained facility. The care (medical attention, attention to resident needs, etc.) seems quite good (no smells, no trash lying around, etc.). Security for wandering patients is good. The staff at the reception desk are friendly and knowledgeable

Security for wandering patients is good. The staff at the reception desk are friendly and knowledgeable. The staff treat the residents respectfully. I have found working with the nurse manager to be great -- she keeps me up to date on my brother-in-law's needs in a timely fashion.

a very fine place
All 5s except value for cost. I understand it is very expensive to run a senior living center, but still the amount of money is exorbitant. I do think the staff there are doing an excellent job, however, for a majority of them, English is their second language, and it can be very difficult to understand them. The residence there have a difficult time knowing what they are saying as well.

Thank you to The Alton Memory Care Staff
My Mom lived at The Alton for about six years. It was a wonderful, family-like atmosphere the suited her needs. The care she received was well above average. The social activities were her favorites! I thank each and every staff member for the cares that my Mom received. I have and will always recommend The Alton Memory Care.

Review for The Alton Memory Care
We needed memory care for my loved one, and independent living for his companion. So far it's worked out perfectly.I would recommend, depending on the trajectory of their loved one.

impressed with The Alton, friendly accommodating staff, overall positive experience
They have been friendly and accommodating always. And they've been respectful and kind to my mom. I think staff shortages everywhere makes it difficult to know what to expect in terms of levels of care that we are paying for (consistency in laundry, cuing for personal hygiene, etc.) Some of the ambiguity is probably my fault, too, for not inquiring more regularly. Also, last year, two friends visited the Alton looking for a residence for their relatives, and they were impressed with the categories you mentioned. It is the best place for my mom.

Good fit for us
I do feel it is a bit pricey for the required 2 year private pay. However, our brother-in-law seems quite happy there. The rooms are pretty comparable to other facilities-- maybe 170 square feet. 15x15 including the bathroom. His room overlooks a parking area at the entrance. Bathroom is fine. Shared lounge areas with snacks.

Thankful
They are trying with the activities, and could probably do more in that department. It's very expensive, but my loved one is in really good hands. I feel my loved one is really safe. It was the perfcet place and I would reccommend The Alton. It's a really good place. I am really pleased with everyone.

down to earth community
Overall the community is very clean, but the individual house keeping could use some improvements - we are finding ourselves having to remind them to help clean up our loved ones space. Most of the staff members are very friendly and we really do like that it is solely dedicated to memory care - we think that is of extreme importance

My tour review
This community clearly had been in business for a long time. They were very aware and the resources that they had to offer were great. This community was a high rise and it was seven floors and I did not feel like this would be the community for my loved one. The activities were spot on and they had in house physicians also for the residents.

they are great
We have enjoyed this community much better then our loved ones previous one, we love The Alton. We have not eaten the meals there ourselves but our loved one has not complained so we assume they are good. She really like participating in the board games, playing cards and doing puzzles.

Seems like a fancy facility
I toured this facility while looking for a place for my Mother. It is a really nice community; however, it was a lot bigger of a building than the other places we looked at. All of the staff members here were really nice and it seems like a fancy facility. The marketing director who gave us the tour was friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend other families to tour this facility.

I toured this community.
We toured this community and the staff was nice and helpful and they answered all of my questions. They introduced us to some of the residents. This was a bigger community. It was a hard decision at the time but this wasn't the right fit for my husband. They offer lots of activities for a more independent person. It was nice and clean.

Wife Getting Along Well
So far I'am reasonably satisfied with the care my wife is receiving here in this facility. She is getting along pretty well since her move to this community. They have a very good staff, and I know she is in good hands. They have been friendly when I visit, and helpful when needed. Her room, and the community are well-kept whenever I visit. The experience is going well so far for us in this community, and I think this is a community I would recommend.

Staff Issues But Overall Nice Community
My husband is doing okay here at this community, but I do have my concerns. The staff isn't caring for him in the way I would like them to. It is a nice looking community, they do a pretty good job with the cleaning. They offer wonderful activities, he has tired a few of them. They do serve healthy meals, but the food could be better. Hopefully things improve with the staff with time.

More education
I wish that staff were more trained in the field of Alzheimer's. I feel staff does not have enough education on how to deal with some of the behaviors an Alzheimer's patient has. Also I would feel a lot better if there were more staff per patient.
