Senior Lifestyle - Main

The director was very good but that's further away from our house than we would like it to be. The director was very nice and got back with us right away. I can't remember his name but he was great. Besides the location it would have been a good option for us. They were friendly and the community was clean. It was good.

I'ts a wonderful place, we are just thrilled with it. They have undergone a massive renovation anf, of course, dealing with the elderly, that has been confusing and disruptive. They were bough out by a large company, and the renovations are wonderful. They're remodling the dining room, they're one floor for assited living, previously two floors were assisted, and the moved another floor up to what I hear is much nicer apartments. They're hoping to have it all done by Christmas. The attendants are wonderful, they've all been there 10 plus years, they check on her constantly, she goes to every one of the activities, they've fixed everything in the apartment we could think of, and it was just little things. I can't say enough nice things about it. We had just dropped in before and mother didn't like it, but when A Place for Mom reminded us of what a great palce it was, we shceduled a tour and they did the full court press. They greated us by name, the food was wonderful and we just new it was the right palce. They sent mother flowers to her condominium and gave her warm cookies. They've got a new chef so the jury is still out on him. The first chef had a full, hard backed menu with 16 entree choices and on and on. We had rib eye steak the night we toured. They have a residence council and from every floor the have a resident on the food committee and the care committee, they're really striving to make everyone happy. The only thing that would be slight detrimental is just that there's been a lot of confusion with th erenovation but the end result will be amazing, I just keep telling momma to keep her eye on the prize.

It was good. They didn't have as many activities as another one we were looking at and the room was smaller. It had a kitchenette instead of a full kitchen.

I looked at all the smaller communities in town and they were very depressing, run down homes that were not very well maintained. The Woodmark was a complete turn around. It was warm and welcoming and the building was very well maintained.

Experience has been hit or miss. Great interactions in person. Very attentive to care for my family member. Hard to reach via phone for updates and or questions. Overall resident housekeeping is less than expected. Not dirty but not as clean as one would expect.

My parents have been at LBW for about two months and it’s going really well! Not only is it peace of mind for me with their safety, but they don’t have a house to take care of anymore. It was such a burden- for all of us. The employees at LBW have been very nice, supportive and helpful as we navigate through this new experience. While my Dad would rather sit back in the apartment- my mom has gone to different activities and events. It gets her out and about. Being a social person, my mom loves the variety of things going on and all of the detail on decorating for the occasion. Definitely set up an appointment to come and take their tour. It will be worth it!

Elevators are old, slow. Once I observed traffic flow I'm ok with it. Yes, we would recommend The Breakers at Edgewater Beach to other families based on the experience so far.

Food could be better for sure. Seen a few and this is nice place.

I chose The Breakers for several reasons. The first is how flexible their lifestyle options are which leads to a great mix of interesting residents. There are 400 rooms here which is much bigger than the other places I looked at and the energy here is great. There are lots of activities and amenities for everyone. The Breakers is an especially good fit for me because it is an independent living community, but they offer all the services for assisted living, just on an à la carte basis, so its personalized to meet my specific needs. My family appreciates the daily check-ins, the emergency pull cords in every room, and the weekly maid service where they clean and sanitize the bathroom and kitchen in case I get lazy about housekeeping. The Breakers was not only highly rated, but also had one of the most reasonable prices for what I was looking for one of the standouts for me was the location on Lake Michigan it's beautiful here and in a fantastic location just north of downtown Chicago. My family in Chicago love to come visit me and they offer guest rooms for out of town guests at a reasonable price. The building is a little older which gives it character, but they're renovating rooms, it's clean and the food is good. ?? The only reason I didn't give a 5/5 is because the elevators are slow so everything takes a little longer here.

Acclaim EB community is clean & comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful, the food is on the high side of mediocracy. We find the residents are warm and friendly. [name removed] is finding the transition to be difficult. From what little I know, this is normal for her stage of Alzheimer's. The staff has been kind and helpful to us.

Over the past year, there was a change in the executive level which led to a decline in the staff and services. There are still some wonderful staff members, but some of the best have gone away.

APA has a very friendly stay and always has time to listen to concerns. The facility is clean and smells clean. Holidays are a big occasion and staff go all out to make sure everyone has fun. The rooms are spacious with large bathrooms and safety poles for emergencies. I am very happy that my father chose ADA. He says he is happy and made some friends.

Other than the increase in care fees which I'm not sure why it's very nice. The staff is very nice

Simply a very good place for getting older with life

Great place, a bit short on help and some employee turnover over issues but other than that, good experience.

Dining could be more varied with more fresh foods offered, staff is very friendly and the facility is inviting. They could take residents off campus more.

Day & afternoon staff are a 5 they work well and speak well with residents and some even go above & beyond. Nurses on Day & afternoons are great. Nights need an extra hand a rover that can go to both floors if needed. The night staff may be assisting someone a little longer which leaves another resident waiting extra long time. Food is good and many activities for residents.

We loved our experience at Lincolnwood. my mother passed away in recent months, so we no longer engage with Lincolnwood, but our time there was very positive. both the independent living and nursing care were excellent. understanding, communicative staff and supportive environment throughout our experience.

Night time staff not well equipped to handle confusion and instability residents. 3-11 staff not all able to handle outbursts and can be irritants with reading of patients

Staff are friendly and very helpful. Facility is up to date and very clean
