Wyndemere

I love it here. I’ve lived at Wyndemere for just over half a year now. I have a beautiful two bed-2 bath apartment with a lovely view of what I call my own personal garden, which is a lovely courtyard with mature trees, a large water feature and lots of nice full bushes and shrubs. Everything is beautiful and so well maintained. I had the nicest, most helpful sales counselor, Sally Hatcher. She patiently (really patiently, thru about four showings!) showed me thru a number of different apartments. And Wyndemere has the neatest service, a move-in coordinator. Her name is Heidi Davidson and she will visit your current home to help you decide what to bring and even offer a suggested floor plan! I loved that! And it really did help me. The food is delicious. That is an extra bonus I hadn’t really been thinking about as I made my choice of where to live. Also, they have great maintenance men who are so so helpful. They hung all of my pictures for no additional fee. They even have a man, Jim, who repaired the broken spindle footboard on my antique bed. Super nice!! I’m a bit younger than most residents, 64. I’m so happy I made the decision to move when I did, when I was still “young” (ha-ha!) enough to manage the move fairly easily. But most residents move in their mid-seventies and they do quite nicely with all the assistance from Wyndemere. Finally, the Continuing Care concept is important to me, so I am not a burden to my family. My father lives here as well. He moved into the Assisted Living wing (Westbridge) about a year and a half ago. Recently, we moved him into the Memory Care unit, as his Alzheimer’s progressed. They care for him beautifully in Memory Care. It’s only a 12 resident unit, so they know the ins and outs of each resident super well. I am so happy to have him so well-cared for. And Assisted Living, where he had been originally, is great as well. Very nice apartments and great food. Dad was very content. They have a bunch of activities every day, led by Melissa and Barb, who are both fantastic. What nice ladies. A special thing for my Dad is that a Catholic deacon comes to Westbridge and Wyndemere every other Thursday to offer communion. This is so special and enriching for my Dad. Before moving my Dad in here, my sister and I visited what felt like every single Senior Care facility in the western suburbs. Far and away Wyndemere and Westbridge was the very nicest. I think you’ll be quite happy if you decide on Wyndemere for yourself or Westbridge for yourself or a loved one. I’ve included a few photos. The last three are of the maintenance men hanging my pictures, then of Phinnie, my cat, enjoying his beautiful, treed view and, finally, him lazing on the floor in his Wyndemere home. 🏡

My experience has been very positive here at Wyndemere. I chose Wyndemere because I wanted to be in the Wheaton area. I wanted to be active and not sitting at home because I couldn't drive. I got myself involved with activities like chair yoga and tai- chi and really enjoyed it. I worked with Greg and he helped me find the perfect apartment for myself. I have a ground floor apartment with a beautiful patio. It was like home for me. I have taken advantage of the transportation to Target, church and Jewel. It is so easy to book tranportation. I am really loving it here and love the staff and other residents.

I decided to on Wyndemere because of the homey feel. I didn’t feel that way when I visited other communities. I also decided to move Wyndemere because of the pool. I enjoy going to the lunch outings. Just yesterday we went to Maggiano’s and next week we will go to Manhattens. If you are thinking about moving here, I would highly recommend it.

I moved to Wyndemere 10 years ago after my husband passed. I could no longer take care of the house by myself. My son lived in Chicago and moved nto my home in Lombard. So Wyndemere was a perfect location for me. What I love most about Wyndemere is the daily activities. I enjoy participating in the choir and I love playing the Hand and Foot game with friends during the week.
