Communities in Lincolnwood, IL

"Very friendly and active community . Staff are helpful, respectful, and upbeat."

"My parents live in the facility and love it. Activites and food are great. The staff is excellent. Every one of them is friendly, kind, helpful, and very supportive of the residents. If my parents need extra assistance the staff will help arrange it. You couldn't ask for a better place to live! "

"The Amazing Grace Senior Living seemed like a nice place to take care of the medical needs that my mother-in-law would need. It's assisted living and there are nurses there 24/7. It's close to home and it's religious. So we could go see her and it will make it convenient for us. It's a little homey and it looks clean. We had pizza, salad, and a fruit cocktail during our tour, and it was all good."

"I was very impressed with Autumn Green. The location was convenient. The employees were really great, readily available, and showed us everything. The only problem for my brother was that he couldn't afford it. They had crafts and an indoor pool. "

"We liked St. Joseph, but it was extremely expensive. So, it was out of the budget. The rooms were smaller, but clean and orderly. They had great staff. We knew the staff there because we used the rehab side of it. I thought it would have been the top option except for the price and the location. It was kind of out of mom's neighborhood, and we chose to keep mom in her current neighborhood where she resided. The food was fine. I saw them gathering people, and their staff was always very friendly, smiling, and very positive. They were encouraging people to join in the activities, and that I did like. It had a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. "

"My mother has severe Alzheimers and has been residing at the Self Help home for the past 4 years.She entered with only mild dementia and living independently until she became more and more impaired. Her 85th birthday is in a few weeks , and although she doesnt appear to know who we are anymore. at least shes around to celebrate it. Self Help home has made us,her family, feel safe .My mom has had excellent care there all these years , and the administration and staff there have been very warm and nurturing throughout these very difficult years. Mom cant do anything for herself anymore , but is well-taken care of, and we know this excellent standard of care will continue as long as she is there. "

"Belmont Village Glenview was one level with a large memory care facility. The room was clean but didn’t have the greatest of views because they put one wing right next to the other wing with the two wings looking at each other, so you look at walls. The people were nice. "

"The Sheridan at Park Ridge was wonderful. The facility was very clean and very nice. Our favorite thing was that the garden was right off the memory care. The rooms were very nice. They were not huge, but perfect for what my mother-in-law needed. Their dining area was very clean and very nice. The staff was wonderful, accommodating, and answered all my questions. We met some of the people that run the activities. They do bingo, art, and singing. You are also included in the regular assisted living when they have different performers. They have little outings on their bus. They have a big TV and sitting area."

"My mother has been in Sunrise for about 2 years. The food is marvelous, and it was more like a home-cooked meal. It was very good and very healthy, and they think of the people there. However, we couldn't keep her there because it was expensive. She has a room to herself, she doesn't have any problem getting in and out, and she used a walker. It's one big room, and you have a little kitchenette and a bathroom. I had a hard time with communication with the management. Other than that, they're top notch. The people were caring, they know your name when you walk in, they're open 24 hours, and we could come in if mom had a problem. "

"My brother will be moving into Victory Centre of Galewood. It's a diverse community and we're looking for a place where my brother can speak languages, Spanish and English. There are a lot of people who speak both languages. Depending on how he feels, he might be able to speak any language he chooses if he knows who he's speaking to. So, Spanish is his primary language, but he's been in the States more time than the time he was in Puerto Rico. So, he's able to use both languages there. It's very open. Once you come in, it's like you come into a large place, but it's not that large. It looks like a place where there is a lot to do and there's space, and things are not crowded. It has a garden on the second floor, which is beautiful. It is very clean. They have a beauty salon. They have a weight room, a place to do exercises, and a library. They have a lot of activities, and they're pretty busy in terms of the activities that they do with people that live there."

"Sunrise of Lincoln Park was small but seemed to be friendly. There were a lot of people eating downstairs in the dining hall near the lobby. The atmosphere was very friendly, but it was not suitable to me because it's too far from the place where my daughter lives and I wanted to be closer to the downtown area. For somebody, it may be great. The staff was very good."

"Brookdale Lake Shore Drive has the most wonderful location and the most wonderful views. They have beautiful grounds and a beautiful park out in front. The location is great. The rooms have great views too. The staff members were good; however, there were things that I didn't like about the community."

"I would say that Belmont Village Senior Living Lincoln Park was the one that we felt most highly about. My relative would likely go there, but it is expensive or he felt it was expensive. We looked at the assisted living. The meals are in the dining room. They have housekeeping, and they have a variety of activities that are organized. They have a studio apartment (which to me seems small), but they also have apartments that have a bedroom and a living room. I liked those much better, but of course those are more expensive."
