Arden Courts – Memory Care is All We Do

For over 25 years, Arden Courts has been dedicated to caring for residents living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Our philosophy of care and residential design were carefully crafted to meet the unique needs of our ever growing population. Our highly skilled team is designed to assist residents with varying levels of care needs. We provide a home-like, safe and supportive environment that nurtures the individuality of each resident and gives their families the peace of mind they deserve. Locations in Elk Grove Village, Northbrook, Geneva, Glen Ellyn, Palos Heights and South Holland.

Arden Courts Memory Care Community, located on Bricher Road in Geneva caters to the special needs of individuals with memory loss. Our community features friendly common spaces, an inviting kitchen and family rooms and walking paths within enclosed courtyards, all designed for the safety and comfort of our residents.

We recognize residents have their own individual routines and interests, capabilities and needs. We set out to accommodate their individuality beginning with an assessment by one of our professional staff members. Working with you, we develop an individualized service plan which is regularly adjusted to meet any changes in your loved one’s routine or condition.

Our campus includes four self-contained “houses” with community and outdoor living spaces allowing residents to move about in an environment designed to keep them safe. Each house has its own living room, dining room, kitchen, full bath and laundry. Common areas shared by the houses include an activity and craft studio, barber and beauty salon, wellness center, secured backyard with a porch and expansive landscaped walking paths.

Each of the four houses has private bedrooms, each with a half-bath. A few bedrooms are shared. Feel free to furnish your room with personal belongings or use furnishings we provide: a bed, nightstand, dresser, lamp, chair window treatments and linens. All utilities are included with the exception of phone and cable television.

At Arden Courts, visual cues be an effective way of communicating with people living with dementia. There are visual cues everywhere. Symbols and colors help our residents avoid confusion, stay oriented and remain as independent as possible. Descriptive photos can often take the place of language and signs. These cues are designed not only to help residents effortlessly navigate the halls and pathways, but also to stimulate memory and create triggers.

Arden Courts features an average of 12 exits leading to different paths of exploration—all within the friendly, secure environs of the community. There is approximately one-third of a mile of paved walkways and courtyards in the landscaped backyard with color-coded visual cues as wayfinders. With the exception of the day’s therapeutic activities or forecast, how residents spend their time—and where—is up to them.

Residents do not leave the closely monitored confines of Arden Courts, yet rarely feel restricted. They move freely about the community, both indoors and outdoors, without leaving our secure environment. The common areas encourage the enjoyment of interaction and socialization without sacrificing safety.
