The Best Assisted Living Communities in Lake County, IL

"My wife moved into Gurnee Place Memory Care. It is nice and comfortable. They have nice cushions, davenports, and chairs every place around. They have afternoon breaks, puzzles, and games. I like the place. They have exercises, and they read the paper to them. Somebody brought in homemade musical instruments, and then they had the old-time radio playing all the time. All of the caregivers are very friendly."

"Sunrise of Gurnee was really nice, and I did like it. It was clean and pleasant. They had a group activity going on when I went in there, and they had entertainment. Their dining room was set up like a restaurant, and the food was appealing. The rooms had a nice variety -- a studio, one-bedroom or two-bedroom -- which would give my in-laws adequate space. It doesn't have a stove, which is fine because I would prefer they not be cooking since they're a little absentminded. It was well lit. They had skylights throughout upstairs in the hallways, and there was a fine daylight coming in. It was a perfect community for them. It was just a little pricy. The outside facilities were very nice. It wasn't like a nursing home nor a prison. They could go outside and leave if they have the capacity to do that. They had a lot of activities, which were both appropriate and enticing for people of varying age like trips, etc. It was a beautiful place. "

"My Dad was in Re-hap at Radford Green, Sedgebrook, The rooms were clean and nicely designed. My dad was 94 and they treated him wonderful. The Physical Therapy & Occupational Therapy were amazing. Kelly & Rod and the rest of the team took time and were very caring and patient with him. If your dad or mom needs re-hap I highly recommend this Place. The nursing staff, & Social Workers were great with him too. He went from needing complete help to being able to do thing with assistance. Thank You the Staff of Randford."

"My father was at Renaissance Gardens Sedgebrook for about one month. He was brought there straight from the hospital and it was like a resort. The people were good and the food was good too. It was clean and pleasant. Everything was wonderful. "

"I toured with sales director/tour guide Valentino. He was very knowledgeable and so were the clinical staff. All nurses were very friendly greeted us as we toured. Residents looked happy and engaged. It was very nice. Too bad my loved one passed away and wasn't able to move-in.I would highly recommend."

"I went to Belmont Village Buffalo Grove. I liked the design the most and the openness of the place. They had the activity rooms, outside PT facilities, a patio, and a barbecue firepit."

"My husband and I went to see it first, and then we took my sister-in-law back to see it. It was a good experience, but she chose the other place over Addolorata, and I am not sure why. I liked the fact that it was a religious institute, and when we went during the week, it was a very positive experience. "

"I had a great experience when I took a tour of Sunrise of Highland Park. The staff was great and I didn't have any complaints. The rooms looked like hotel rooms, and the dining area was like a restaurant. The facility was a bit smaller, so you'd have to consider if you want lots of potential friends with your loved one, but it was more intimate."

"When I was being sent to Rehab, I was scared. I didn't need to be. I was so impressed. Everyone was kind, called us by name, were ready to help even if it wasn't particularly their job (e.g., the secretary would graciously wheel me down to the dining hall when I was having trouble. The therapists were so good. They knew this was scary for me. But they reassured me even though they pushed me to do my best. We got used to the comfortable routine. Even the food was good! Outstanding pumpkin waffles! And I didn't expect to get a personalized menu at each meal so I could choose what I wanted. I hated being in the hospital, but rehab was such a good experience. It was a comforting, healing place!"

"It was fine, and a lovely experience. The staff was lovely, informative, and helpful. The rooms were fine, adequate, clean, and well laid out, however, it was a bit far away. It's welcoming, small, and it had a nice garden. They have a bus, and they try to have activities for the residents. The dining room looked like a restaurant."

"We had an in-person tour of The Grand at Twin Lakes. I highly recommend this facility. It was absolutely beautiful, but it was far more expensive. The director who gave us the tour was very helpful in answering our questions and showing us several different room options and amenities, including a movie theater and a swimming pool. The amenities that the facility had were really impressive. Everything was laid out beautifully and very appealing."

"North Shore Place was very nice but all assisted living. The rooms were very nice, but my parents didn't like the small size. It's also not a big complex but the dining room looked really nice and first rate. The lobby looked like a fancy hotel lobby. The staff was very caring. In fact, the nurses greeted us on our way up during the tour. "

"It was very clean. I was impressed with the spaciousness of the area. The tables were not on top of each other. They were very articulate, knowledgeable, and polite. They knew their business. They're the best at following up with me. They gave me sample food to bring home, and it was very tasty."
