[name removed] was wonderful. She made me feel very welcome and relaxed. The residents I met during my tour were so kind, warm and friendly. The place has a very joyful feel to it, a real caring community. The living quarters were very spacious and the amenities were amazing! I will definitely be considering Lake Barrington Woods as one of my future homes.

The staff are very, very nice here, and very helpful. Generally the food is good, and they give you a choice if you don't like what's on the menu. Sometimes the food is cold, but I understand that they have a lot of people to take care of delivering food to the rooms during Covid times. I'm looking forward to when the dining room reopens. They have plenty of activities for you to do every day if you choose to. They have a pool here, and I enjoy water aerobics, bingo, and the live entertainment they bring in. Really overall, it's a very good place. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. I feel like the cost is reasonable and worth it, to receive meals and to have help available during emergency situations. There are probably places that are cheaper, but they might not have the same amenities and services. If you voice your concerns, they listen and help you. Nothing is perfect, but I am very happy here.

Our family was able to do an in person tour, there was still some restrictions we had to wear a mask and distance ourselves from the other people. However it was a good experience, it was kept clean no fowl smells, but our loved one just needed a place that offered more care.

I would recommend you look into this community. My loved one is very happy here. I think the overall welcoming feeling and comfortable place is great. The family is only 5 minutes away and this makes it convenient for us. I don't think there is anything I would change about the community.

I think Lake Barrington Woods does a wonderful job. They have been vigilant through COVID. I wish they would improve the food and that might help change their rating.

[name removed] who is the Marketing person was extremely helpful. The community has a dual license of the units, We could upgrade to Assisted Living care when the time comes and stay in the Independent Living unit so they would not have to move. We really liked this feature. It is a smaller place and it was easier to get to know other residents. The food is average. My father in law required Physical Therapy 3-4 times a week, they had the PT room and therapist right there, we were very very impressed.

It is a big adjustment for someone to move into a Senior Living community. The room sizes are nice. It is a long walk for a lot of people to get to the elevators. They have a small patio for outdoor space. My mom has had good and bad experiences with the staff.

Very well done. My parents have been there for over 13 months and no issues. I have been please with how they have handled Covid-19. It is a small community, self-contained. They have good outreach to other community organizations. It is cost-effective. They have a good dining program

A very great community, the staff is amazing and connect with the residents. Everyone is family there. Thank you my mom loves it so much!

Location on busy road a downside for Mom who still drives- hard to get in and out of. Pretty area, but feel that there's probably more services included than she needs. Spoke with a rep there, liked what they do to support new residents, but don't feel this is the right fit for Mom's current needs.
