    Friendly staff, modern, pricey, recommended

    I chose Melody Living and have been consistently impressed by the friendly, compassionate staff, strong leadership, and attentive management. The building is beautiful and modern-light-filled, well-laid-out apartments with accessible bathrooms, a bright hotel-like dining room, and genuinely tasty meals and daily specials. Activities, therapy/gym options, and memory-care programming are plentiful, communication with families is strong, and safety/cleanliness are clearly priorities. Downsides: it's pricier than some alternatives, feels more hotel-like than "homey," and has limited green space. Overall I feel safe, cared for, and would recommend it.

    About Melody Living Lake in the Hills Assisted Living & Memory Care

    Melody Living Lake in the Hills Assisted Living & Memory Care sits in a three-story building where seniors can find different living options like Active Adult, Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care, and there are large two-bedroom units in assisted living and one-bedroom units in the memory neighborhood, which is especially good for people dealing with memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia because the memory care area is set up to reduce confusion, stop wandering, and keep everyone safe. The place is made to feel comfortable, with beautiful common areas, lounge spaces, and outdoor walks, while residents get to look at sweeping views right from their private apartments. Residents have a bunch of ways to stay busy, like spending time in the game room or the movie theater, going outside to the outdoor playgrounds, or joining in on recreation activities, enrichment programs, or fitness sessions in the gym and wellness center, and everybody usually finds something going on that interests them, as the staff works hard to make sure people get to do things they like at their own pace. The community puts a big focus on the 8 Dimensions of Wellness and their "Life in Harmony" idea, which means there are lots of daily choices and routines so residents can shape their lifestyle how they want, and the staff tries to know everyone's habits pretty quick, helping out with things like meals, bathing, medication, or just checking in 24 hours a day. For those in memory care, the secure setting adds peace of mind and lets people explore safely, and all the therapies, meals, laundry, cleaning, maintenance, transportation, and even salon and spa visits happen right in the building so residents can choose what they need without worry. The facility keeps licensing checks updated twice each year, and the community seems to value relationships, independence, and making sure seniors feel ready to live each day on their own terms in a calm, low-maintenance environment.
