Lincolnwood Place

Lincolnwood Place was not as well lit, and more worn, but was very competitively priced. It had comparable accommodations to the other communities we visited. But, the more urban, near-north Cook County location was less appealing than the Lake County community my Mother-in-law finally moved into, a short time later.

We picked this community, because of the proximity to my own home & a family friend was a current resident. The facility is very clean and the staff is friendly. However, I find the communication between staff to be poor, response time to resident medical needs are slow -- where protocols aren't even in place to address emergencies, and the food is mediocre with meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) scheduled too close together.

I found it very impressive how many long term staff they have (many employees over 20 yr, most dining staff over 10yr). They are obviously a good place to work. Also, it is very well maintained. I thought the building was 5 years old, it's closer to 30

My loved likes the food. We picked this community because it was convient/close, and the completeness of the living options. They can improve on the communication with the move-in process. Other than that, everything worked out fine. My loved one likes the community, and has settled in. Overall, I would recommend to other families.

Lincolnwood place has been wonderful, Mom has a form of dementia that has physical effects as well. While she started off in independent living, it became clear that she needs assisted living and has been getting the extended care that she needs. If there is an issue, someone from LWP calls me and lets me know.

The nursing staff is very good and they seem to be very on top of what my uncles need. They are diligent and pay attention to detail. The apartment sizes are very nice, they were able to get a 2 bedroom so it fit their needs perfectly. Overall it has been a good experience and we would highly recommend Lincolnwood Place to others.

My loved one was in the skillet Nursing facility for a short stay prior to having to be hospitalized. Covid infection is high.There,re some staff that don't care at all some CNAs were rude & disrespectful to the pt & families. The Director of Nursing was unprofessional careless didn't seem to know what is going on The corporation is saving money by hiring Agency employees however they were nicer, Nurses were very nice The skilled nursing would be better if they hired more compassionate, respectful Team player CNA There has been times that I heard residents calling for help outside the parking. Call light never answer by the staff in timely matter. There is a lack of communication between the staff & family The staff have no team work. The social worker seems to be running the facility without support from higher up she seems overwhelmed. Don’t discuss any concerns staff while love one there to avoid retaliation. if you’re ok w no team work, lack of compassion/RudeCNA. This’s it

The place had great high ratings and it was a great tour. However, my loved one was in the assisted living for a short stay prior to having to be hospitalized. My loved one has been in during the pandemic. Some of the staff are very caring. There are other staff that don't care as much as others. The higher up staff don't seem to care, and they didn't seem to know what is going on. It seems like the corporation is saving money by hiring people that are early on in their career. The Executive Director was very nice to deal with. The billing was hard for the family to sort out for a bit. The woman in charge of Memory Care is very good and sweet. The skilled nursing would be better if they hired more nurses than CNAs. There has been times that my loved one's medical supplies have not been replaced in a timely manner by the staff. The staff does laundry and bring it back to the my loved one's room. I wish they would take the time to hang the laundry up for my loved one as well. There is a lack of communication between the staff and family and between the staff themselves.

Lincolnwood Place was the first place I looked at and it was clean and there was no odor when I walked in. They had various rooms for activities and a spacious lobby with lots of seating. The apartments are also a very nice size. His only complaint has been the food. He said there is not much flavor and the portion sizes are small so they could use some improvement in that area. Overall, I would recommend to others looking.

They are happy now and we are to but there were some bumps in the road in the beginning. The on boarding process and the initial move in did not go smoothly, but all is well now. When we took the tour our mother immediately fell in love with the aesthetics and the really love the food.

Larger rooms and better pricing than North Shore Place, but many of the same amenities, only its an overall older building and the finishes aren't as nice. Distance is a downside (full 30 min each way) and we don't really ever need to go to that area of town otherwise. Staffed Coffee shop is a big plus.

Tour went longer than I expected. I loved the room and they are working with me to have my mom assessed. I am a bit nervous about the extra levels of care pricing but have been upfront regarding budget so we are all on the same page. [name removed] is fantastic. The one bedroom is so awesome so I am praying things will go well.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is very clean. It is a little outdated in some areas of the building. The dining room staff is amazing. The physical therapy staff is amazing. It is a little pricey but comparable to other places in the area.

Lincolnwood Place has been wonderful. My mom has been adjusting and things are really going well. It took some time for her to "get into the groove", but now she enjoys the classes, activities, and has a dinner group of friends. The staff are great about getting the residents involved in activities. My mom has started calling the community her home. The staff are really friendly and put a lot of effort into involving the new residents and make them feel welcomed. Although it has been trying times with COVID, they have handled the lock down well, quickly, and efficiently. However, communication has been difficult. They have had outdoor concerts for the residents to listen during this time and even placed potted plants outside each residents apartment on Mother's day, which I felt was so sweet and nice of them. The only other thing I would point out is that although my mom says the food is good, she wishes that there was more variety and options. The food seems geared more towards a Kosher palette, which doesn't appeal to everyone.

Met with [name removed]. The facility & pricing was fantastic. The staff was friendly, introduced us to residents & other staff alike. It was a warm, inviting, & homey place to be. Unfortunately, we really need a fully furnished place for short term respite care, & Lincolnwood Place only has an unfurnished apartment available. However, they are definitely worth a look if you are searching for a permanent place.

Very nice, a little dated.

46 out of 50 stars. [Name removed] was very informative and spoke to Dad directly. She also volunteered the idea of independent living with à la cart assistance rather than automatic assisted-living. 80 to 90% of the facility has undergone a recent face-lift or is just finishing. The room sizes and layout configurations of both assisted living and independent living sweets are generous and well configured. laundry is included in assisted-living but not in independent. Weekly housekeeping is included in both. W/D units are available in all independent sweets, and some assisted-living, but not the layouts that Dad favored.

Ive called a few times,talk to someone then they never call back

Absence of a pool was a drawback for me but very nice place
