Nursing Home Communities in Libertyville, IL

"I visited Winchester House as a part of a company sponsored event and the first thing I notice was that the residents seemed really happy. The facility was exceptionally clean for a government run facility. I usually can not stand the smell of assisted living and nursing home facilities and Winchester House is an exception to this issue. The place did not carry an overwhelming odor. I had a good day socializing with the residents and I was there for lunch and the food looked and smelt appetizing. The food did not remind me of hospital food and was actually well made and well presented. The residents were very social and the worker were friendly. I observed the interaction between residents and caregivers and I saw a caring and responsive relationship. My overall view is that this is one of the best ran and best kept facilities in IL. I am especially surprised as I have visited many facilities in the IL. "

"My mother in law was treated with respect from administration to custodial personnel. Therapists and nursing staff were caring and respectful. Always answering call lights timely. Food was fine and activities fun. Building very clean and odor-free. I recommend this place."

"I'm a preschool teacher and I work in the same building as Libertyville Manor. It is a beautiful facility on a 10-acre land. They take good care of their seniors there. Everything is in-house and they even have a physical therapist onsite. Their residents have a daily schedule to follow. We have a program in the daycare that aims to close in the generational gap. So we take the kids up there and play games with their residents. There is really a lot of interaction between the seniors and they have plenty of things to do there, which is nice. We see them watching TV or playing games. We have our picnic in Libertyville Manor just recently and we invited all of their families and all of our families. They also have a nursing care, so when their seniors get too sick for assisted living, they just go over to a different wing. "

"My boyfriend stayed in The Encompass Health Rehabilitation Institute of Libertyville for rehab. He left there on the 4th of July. They told him that he had to leave, and then I got a letter in the mail. We got notified on the 3rd of July that he had to leave by noon on the 4th of July. I was very, very upset because I worked in a big grocery store, and I was there all day, time and a half, plus holiday pay, and if I hadn't worked, I would have lost over $300, and to me, that's a lot of money. They ended up having to transfer all by himself, scared because they had to pack up all his stuff. He was worried about his phone charger and worried about his pictures. If it had been a family member, it would have been a lot easier, but he wasn't because he was upset. So, that's a bad thing about The Encompass. They did not accommodate at all, on a holiday weekend. It was on a Friday. They could have let him stay till Monday. Then, I got a letter from Medicare saying he was authorized for another three days, and Medicare would have covered that, but they made him leave. Their therapy was excellent. That's the reason why I chose that place, and they had the structure there. They did the therapy, and they worked with them. He was getting stronger on the last day that he was there. He ended up walking with a walker halfway around the gym, which was a big improvement compared to after he got out of the hospital for 19 days. There was a big improvement, and you could tell, but then they said he had to leave, so I had to find another place. They accommodated him a lot with the food that he could eat, and he ate pretty well there. It was very clean. All the people were very nice. The facility was very good. The staff, like the social worker, were not helpful to me. They weren't accommodating."

"The caregivers, nursing staff and administration is very caring and considerate of our loved ones while at Claridge. I felt good about my mother's care there and they were very aware of her health. She had a small infection and fever and they were right on top of it and dealt with it. She was happy there and kept clean and healthy. Would recommend this residence. It does look like it needs updating and decorating but to me her care was more important. "

"Thrive of Lake County helps in strengthening my legs and my balance. They're very good with their OT and PT. It's very clean. My only biggest complaint is their food. They need to work on that. The staff has been very good. My living room is just the right size. There is a bed, and I have room on each side. The shower area is really big. Most of the food is very good. It should be warmer when you get it, though. It's a fair value."

"Lake Forest is great, it's a buy-in, it's expensive, and the people there are mostly local people. The staff took me around, and I've gone to a couple of their functions -- which were wonderful. They have a swimming pool, and many people would come in and speak there. The dining area was newly remodeled, it's very nice, and the food was very good."

"My mom is now at Warren Barr Lincolnshire. It was the closest proximity between my home and the hospital that she was visiting. It's clean and very professional. It offers transportation to and from the facility to her doctor's appointments. The nurses are very courteous when we went to see it. The front desk staff are very nice. They're courteous and professional. They call me and give me updates. They're very on top of things. They're great. With food, my mom doesn't care for everything, but she's also a little picky. I don't know much about their activities because my mom is legally blind, so she can't participate in those things. But from what I've read, they offer wonderful activities for seniors there. They've got a beautiful atrium. They've got a nice little backyard. They take her outside in the wheelchair to get some fresh air. They even offer a hair salon, which is very nice. Medicare pays for her stay there."

"My parents are both in Glenlake Terrace Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The staff are nice, courteous and they really take wonderful care of my parents. I'm comfortable with them there. I just wish this place had tiered levels of care. Right now, I'm looking for a facility that is a nursing home as well as an assisted living. Because the problem is with my father. He's still coherent, he really doesn't need to be in a nursing home. He needs more of an assisted living. It's lonely and depressing for him because nobody there is in the same capacity as he is, but my mother definitely needs a nursing home. She cannot walk and she's very heavy. "

"Pavilion Of Waukegan Nursing was OK, clean, and convenient. They seemed to do a nice job taking care of the place. It's not particularly beautiful, but the staff was kind, and they'd rather take care of the needs of the patients. The rooms and apartments were clean and tidy, but not beautiful or anything like that. The food looked OK, nothing to get excited about, but the dining area was nice. "

"They're excellent there at Manorcare of Highland Park. I'm very favorably impressed. In the morning, my husband has to go through PT, etc. He is never alone. Quite often, he will be in a wheelchair at the nurses' station so that they don't have to worry about him getting up and falling. They are interested in what he likes to eat. They have excellent food, too. What I like best about this facility is all the personal care that they give to the residents there. They really give tender, loving care to their residents. I'm very favorably impressed with them. "

"The entire atmosphere at Brentwood was very welcoming. The staff was very warm and very polite, and they were concerned of the services given. They have the heart for serving the seniors, and you can tell that the quality of services they were giving was wonderful. They had one-on-one activities that cater to every skill that they were trying to put back to the seniors. They were trying to make them busy, they were not left behind, and they were busy in their own time frame. They were not rushed but catered according to their needs. It has a spacious ground where they can go out, have some fresh air, or be pushed around, and there was a lounging chair where they can sit. They have a little library, an activity room, and a dining room. The activity room was great for a lot of activities because not everyone there had the same likes and dislikes, so they were catered according to what they have in mind. They can read books or do puzzles, crafts, or make flower arrangements. I am impressed actually. I was able to go to their kitchen because I asked for water, but is was done intentionally because I wanted to see inside the kitchen. Oh my goodness! It was organized and very clean. It was beautiful, and the people there were calm as if they had nothing to hide at all. "

"This facility has its issues, such as my grandma being left to sit in a room with no tv or anything to do for days. All homes have issues, including this one. However, some of the nursing staff, particularly a man named Ching, are wonderful. He made certain to take great care of her because she couldn't do it herself and he probably helped prolong her life until now. They have other wonderful nurses too. The director of nursing was pretty cold and tactless when calling to tell me my grandmother died, but what can you expect from an administrator? Overall, I think this is a pretty good facility. I think I would recommend it to a friend. "
