Timbers Verse

As someone who always loved to read children’s books to my five girls, I wanted to write my thoughts about The Timbers in verse: It’s fun to live in Timbers place, as we’re treated well, (with respect and grace). The staff is friendly and always there, and shows how much they really care. For us, who now shouldn’t live alone, but want to feel like we’re at home.

About the facility The Timbers of Shorewood

Nestled in the heart of Plainfield, Illinois rests our assisted and independent living community — The Timbers of Sherwood. For years we’ve made it our mission to provide a warm, caring, and high-quality community, dedicated to improving the standard of life for the residents we serve.

Our caring staff are highly trained and specialized to care for the unique needs of each resident and can accommodate residents who only need short-term stay as well. We pride ourselves on building a retirement community filled with wholesome energy, great amenities, supportive living services, and all around nice people.

Community Amenities and Services

Our compassionate staff also help ensure that residents' health needs are met by assisting residents with their unique activities of daily living. We can assist with such things as meals and activities, medication reminders, mobility, and scheduled transportation for appointments and outings. We understand that caring for seniors should not take a one-size-fits-all approach, so we make it our duty to update our methods of care for each resident, considering every individual and their evolving needs.

As an active-lifestyle retirement community, we encourage residents to enjoy the array of activities provided here everyday. Our fitness program is a wonderful way to...

Everything I Need

The Timbers of Shorewood has everything I need, and I feel safe here. The CNA’s help me with my luggage, groceries, compression socks (on and off) and anything I need help with. Thank God for the staff at the Timbers.

A "Timbers" Recommendation

I feel fortunate and secure being a member of “The Timbers” community. The staff and caregivers are friendly, caring, and trustworthy towards the people they serve and look after. The managers, members of the staff, and aids make the Timbers truly special.

All dept. heads go out of their way to make his home!

We are in close range of our son, his wife, and our granddaughters. We feel safe because it’s very close. 24/7 security, friendliness of all staff and residents. There are plenty of places to lounge and talk to other residents. We have safe outside walking areas. Great activities, excellent food, and excellent maintenance. The attentiveness of all department heads couldn’t be any better. So nice to have gardens for residents to be able to plant flowers. Everyone goes above and beyond. It is our home!

Our experience at Timbers has been nothing short of excellent. It feels like home every day.

My husband and I moved to Timbers in October, 2022 and have never looked back. I was content from the first day but it took awhile for my husband to blend in. I am the social one in the family, whereas my hubby is much more laid back. It didn't take long before he found a comfortable little lounge to read his Wall Street Journal. Since then I have been involved in several activities and hubby has found three other men he loves to hang with. Timbers staff are always around to help, assist, or just to lend a listening ear. Our apt. is cleaned twice a week and the housekeeping staff is like family. The restaurant is something to be proud of. We can sit down at any table and a waitress takes our order like any other restaurant. After we finish our very nutritious and yummy meal we get up and leave our dirty dishes. I could go on but you get the picture!

A True Community!

Timbers is a wonderful place to live! The residents, staff, management are all extremely friendly. People genuinely care for each other. There are many varied activities. This week we get to relive our younger days with a Sock Hop! Crafts, Sports, Fitness, Cards are some of the general categories. Staff knows every resident and calls us by name. (We still wonder how they learn names so quickly!) We've made many friends at Timbers. I'm thankful we found our way here.

Staff is extremely professional, polite and caring. I moved in during a time when my husband had to have hospice care. The CNA staff was very comforting and compassionate and understood when he was not acting himself. He has since passed and all staff Continued to show their care.

Exceclent Home for Your Loved One!

My mother-in-law is 103 and has lived at The Timbers of Shorewood since May 2003. We couldn't imagine moving her to any other place. The staff at The Timbers is exceptional from the Executive Director and his staff all the way to the maintence staff. They take the time to learn about the residents and their everyday routines and are extremely attentive to their needs. The Timbers is clean, well maintained and when a resident has an issue the staff is quick to resolve or repair. There is a hair stylist available, a physical therapy room and a podiatrist which visits once a month. There is really no need to leave. We highly recommend The Timbers and we don't think you'd be disappointed.

A place I would want to live myself!

We placed an elderly friend at The Timbers after the death of her husband. My father had been at The Timbers previously for a few years, and my experience with the facility and staff (all of whom are the same!) was amazing. The compassion and friendship shown by all departments, from housekeeping and maintenance to reception and leasing to activities, dietary and management, to both the residents and families is what puts The Timbers on a level above the other Independent and Assisted Care facilities in the area. I can't say enough about The Timbers - it's a great place to live!

Timbers of Shorewood is a 5 Star Senior Facility

This Senior / Assisted Living Community is absolutely wonderful! My mother has been there for the past 2 years and is extremely happy. The staff treats the residents like family. My mom has made some great friends in her time here. All of the staff truly cares about the residents and are quick to attend to their needs. The facility is very clean and always being updated and the maintenance staff has been absolutely wonderful always going over and above. There are so many activities for the residents to enjoy. The meals are delicious with so many choices to chose from. We couldn’t have chosen a better place. For our mother . We can rest assured she is happy and well taken care of. It’s a hard decision when you are looking for a home for your loved one but we know we absolutely made the right choice. The Timbers of Shorewood is a five star facility!

My Safe Place.

I wasn’t looking for a place to live. At the top of the list for my place was a home. Mental and physical safety are most important for a home. All the other features were second to me. I found out the other features of The Timbers were not second In any way. The first sounds were like a home of general ambiance….there were kind voices and laughter. All situations and questions were answered in a easy and understandable manner. The staff and other residents were comfortable together. I can be active or have a quiet day as I want. Many staff members have been here several years. I liked that, as if it is a safe place to work, it is a safe place to call home. This is my safe home. My last home and that is what I wanted.
