Assisted Living Communities in Lincolnshire, IL

"We went to Victory Centre of Vernon Hills. The community was very convenient to where we live. It was clean. The staff was friendly and very professional. We were very pleased with the facility. They said that my aunt would be a good fit there, so we put that on our list. The rooms were typically sized. They had the kitchenette in there. I know there was a big window for natural light. It looked very clean and well-kept. The amenities were pretty typical. They had podiatrists, audiologists, a doctor coming in, and nurses on staff. They had all kinds of activities, bingo, puzzles, artwork, and things like that going on. The residents seemed happy and relaxed. The dining area was a good area with large tables spread apart."

"My mother is in Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes. We chose it because one of her neighbors moved in there. We haven't done much decorating other than the furnishings. She's in a studio with assisted living. It's roomy enough to put her bed and a table and dressers. It's nothing huge. One of the aspects that we liked about it is it kind of looks like a hotel more so than a nursing facility. It seems to be well-kept. The Hawthorn Mall is down the street. It could be walkable if you're mobile enough. They play some games and stuff and have other people come in and do presentations. They have bingo and various card games. There's a living room that has all the stuff. We're basically on the assisted living side, so there weren't as many things as you may have on the independent side. They have a hairdresser there, that type of thing. The independent side has their own dining area and then the assisted living has theirs and they seemed to be spacious enough. They serve the food to the table. The staff is pretty good. They're very friendly. Now and again, we have little things that happen, but for the most part, they've been very good. it's not like a five-star hotel downtown or something like that, but they do a very good job of maintaining it. The reason that we've been looking for someplace now is because we've been there for ten years, and the cost has gone up as a percentage each year. Otherwise, we seem to be getting our money's worth out of it, but it's starting to look expensive."

"StoryPoint Libertyville is a very caring community. They make sure each individual is treated with dignity and respect. They have created a caring culture among the residents. They offer a wide variety of activities for people to participate in. This social interaction has been very beneficial for my mom. The rooms have been recently redone and provide a safe and home like feel. "

"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."

"My tour of Sunrise of Highland Park was fine, but I don't think it would be a fit for my sister. I think she needs a little more care than they're able to provide. I like their activities and the engagement of the help with the people the most. But I think the amount of people to patients wouldn't be sufficient for what my sister's needs are. The building is extremely nice and clean. It's designed well for the patients. When I stepped in, it felt friendly and newer looking. The sizes of the rooms are adequate."

"Brookdale Northbrook was lovely and I know many people there that are very happy to be there. The staff was welcoming and kind. They offer all kinds of activities. They have arts and crafts, a beautiful weight room, a nice garden (they have a gardening club), a nice card room, and a pool table. They made the place so that people could just sit in different areas and it was just a very homey feeling."

"The Grand at Twin Lakes looked clean and impressed me a lot. If a resident is not a morning person, they have the option to choose lunch and dinner for their food instead. They had activities, nice grounds, a TV room, and a pool, al of which I thought was nice. The person who assisted me was very good and knowledgeable. I saw the residents having lunch, and the food looked good."

"My wife is in North Shore Place. We chose it because the care that was offered to me. The woman outlined why she is in the business and why she is working so hard at it. It is her whole life. I was on my way to another home with my check book in my pocket to sign my wife up, but I stopped at North Shore and talked to the lady. She is not a salesperson, but her love for what she is doing and the help that she is giving to people changed my mind. I decided to put her in North Shore Place. Right now she is in a one bedroom apartment. You furnish the room the way you want them. You bring your own furniture and your own bedding. Everything that is in there is yours. They are painted and carpeted. Her place has a refrigerator. They did not go into details on each of the things that they have for the residents to do, but they publish a monthly calendar that shows exactly what is going on for each day and what time. They invite everybody to get out of the room and visit these places. It is relatively new, and I'm not sure if they completed the building. It is a marvelous looking structure. It is beautiful when you walk into it, and it makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk the door. "

"This is a small facility with a consistent and caring staff. I am a retired RN and so my standards for my mom's care are quite high. I am very pleased with the medical oversight of the residents and their communication and responsiveness with me. My mother is quite frail and need for 24-hour assistance is high. I am very relieved to have her in this facility which is small enough that her habits and wishes are known and she is not a number with a revolving cast of caregivers."

"We toured Theresa's Home Care LLC 1. It was very nice. It seemed very clean. It's a home. It's not like an institution. It's not like a facility, so it's homey, and you get that homey feeling. We only really met with Teresa. There were some nurses there, and the dietary people were there, but we didn't meet them. Teresa was very nice, very welcoming, and warm. They do home-cooked meals. We saw them setting the tables and preparing, because it was getting ready to be dinner time. Their outdoor area was beautiful, with a lot of lawn. They had a recreational area downstairs on that first level where they do bingo or card games, puzzles, and things like that. It's like a mansion. I mean, there's like seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It's beautiful. The rooms are shared with patients, and I'm not necessarily saying I like that. There is no option for a private room."

"exceeded all our expectations. finally a place where we are proud for our mom to live. great food, great activities and great staff to assist mom with all her needs. we couldnt be happier."

"A loved one was a resident of Bickford of Gurnee. She stayed there for a while. It was a very nice facility. It offered good food, and the staff was friendly. The only bad thing is, I think, they could probably use more staff. The room that my loved one was in was always clean. They had a nice dining facility. Mostly, they have tables for four, although some people could sit by themselves. It was out and open, very clean, and very well lit. The kitchen staff was very good. They had several people serving the food. They had trips and various activities that people could do while seated. They had an activity director, and they had options for activities every day. They had a patio. Plus, they had a van they use to do trips. It's pretty pricey."

"Discovery Village Des Plaines was excellent. The amenities were excellent. The facility was clean. The salespeople were very accurate and very informative. The location was interesting because it was in downtown Des Plaines. I like it. I thought the building was immaculate. The facility was what I was interested in. The residents were participating in their activities. It showed me that they are interested in the community. The staff seemed very knowledgeable and very encouraging to their residents."
