Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale focuses on supportive senior care and provides a home-like place for people aged 65 and older who need an affordable assisted lifestyle, and the community has options for supportive living, assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, rehabilitation, post-acute care, and respite care, so there are many choices depending on someone's needs. The apartments feel spacious and are designed for comfort, and the building itself is well-managed with plenty of light, staying cheerful and clean when visitors walk through, and the staff work hard to keep things friendly, helpful, and kind. There are many daily activities to help seniors stay engaged-like games, arts and crafts, music, horticultural activities out in the garden, literary activities, tabletop games, and outings-and the staff also organizes physical fitness and wellness programs with equipment right there on site. Meals get served restaurant-style in the dining room, with options for guests and special holiday meals for families, and the menu offers nutritious food made with good ingredients, which matters a lot to many people.
Residents can use amenities like a garden, a computer room, Wi-Fi and cable TV both in their rooms and in common areas, parking, laundry rooms supplied with detergents and softeners, maintenance and housekeeping help, and salon services. The facility offers help with personal care, including personal care assistants, medication reminders, and on-site health services, and there's a nurse on staff part time along with other specialized team members like nursery staff. Supportive living lets residents get help as needed so they can stay independent as long as possible, and care includes things like transportation and shopping services if someone needs to go out. The facility lets seniors bring their pets, which can be important for comfort, and rooms have kitchenettes for those who want to make something simple themselves.
For individuals living with Alzheimer's or dementia, both The Indigo at Bartlett and Maple Glen Memory Care Community provide programs that use a Montessori approach-like the Indigo Wings program-to help engage all the senses and keep residents connected with their environment. Health needs get managed with coordinated care, including medication, doctor's visits, lab work, x-rays, and physical therapy, all arranged in-house. Alden Gardens takes a nondiscrimination approach and offers reasonable accommodations for residents, and there are different floor plans available for various needs. The community's fee structure starts with a $100 move-in deposit, and there are additional costs for a second person in an apartment. Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale has received awards for activities and overall quality, and the building is designed to feel welcoming for everyone. The staff's main goal is to help everyone stay comfortable, active, and as independent as possible while still receiving help where it's needed.
