Recent reviews for memory care in East Chicago

Sunrise of Flossmoor

4.0
Outstanding care and kindness. In particular, the Reminiscence caregivers' care and compassion and love (yes, love) for my mother was beyond wonderful. It's hard to put into words. My mother was in Assisted Living for 4 years and Reminiscence for 6. Sunrise of Flossmoor was truly her home

Clarendale of Mokena

The Memory Care staff was always polite, friendly, and always willing to assist in my mother's needs. My family and I are very satisfied with how my mother was cared for.

I was impressed with how caring everyone is. It may look a little shabby in the assisted living area they make up for it the personal touch. My Mom at 96 is very happy and so am I.
