TLC Living community is a beautiful space! First- it's only 3 years old, and it's very well appointed and immaculate. It's bright, open, beautiful decor and the furnishings are comfortable and well thought out for all the common spaces. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and clearly enjoy their jobs. All the details have been considered as far as community spaces: a huge dining room and living room, a private dining room the residents can reserve for family gatherings, a bistro area stocked with snacks and coffee, a very spacious full service salon, a movie room, library, craft room, business area, mail room and a patio with tables & umbrellas. There are plenty of activities, as well as weekly church service, presentations, live music weekly & seasonal themed events. The apartments are very well designed- there are studios, one and two bedrooms with a lot of space and a huge closet with organizers. The menu is fantastic too! All the residents have smiles & happy to be there!

Great environment. Friendly/helpful staff. Very clean and organized. Friendly residents. Good food. Only drawback is lack of a great outdoor space or atrium. Does have outdoor space but some other communities are better. We picked this community because of the cleanliness, room layout, very friendly staff and residents, bright halls and rooms, and price.

We picked this community, because the facility is beautiful, location, and it feels more like an Apartment atmosphere. The cost was a bit less than another facility. The Nursing staff go above and beyond!They take very good care of my Parents.

TLC is a very friendly and inviting place. You can see how well maintained it when you first enter the building. It is so tastefully decorated and the attention to detail is so obvious. They have a Happy Hour every Wednesday afternoon and the have entertainment too! The residents love it there!

TLC assisted Living in Machesney Park has been a life saver to my sister. She has met many friends there. TLC provides many activities she has enjoyed participating in. Whenever she needs anything staff is always there to help.

This is a great facility! The staff is excellent. The facility is immaculate all the time and the grounds are beautiful. Definitely different than what you may expect when you think about an assisted living facility, it's a warm and welcoming environment. They seem to need more activities at night time, but day time they seem to have good options. I think even a movie in the evening would be helpful and beneficial. They have housekeeping and laundry service that does a great job. It seems like there are a few people who could benefit from a special diet and they don't offer that, for example diabetic or low sodium. Otherwise, the food is fabulous. My only concern is that there hasn't been great communication on the healthcare part of it to make sure you're loved one is getting what they need unless you ask. It was also hard to get her outside Dr and her Dr in the facility on the same page and up to date with her. But I think maybe it's part of being a new facility and getting established. However, overall I would recommend them to others and would even go there myself!

My loved one loves it there. My loved one loves the staff, and they love her. They have a daily menu and they have a al carte menu. Servers take orders, which is similiar to a five star restaurant. They offer actvities such as, bingo, chair exercises, different activities daily, they have puzzles in the recreation room, a private dining room, and a really nice Library, with nice books. They also have crafts, movie time, hapy hour, entertainment, and there is a theatre with seating, in which they have an old fashioned popcorn machine. It's a very nice and spacious apartment, with a mini fridge and microwave. They were really wonderful with working with my loved one and I. The price of the room is based on the level of care that is needed.

Our experience has been all positive all the way across the board. My loved one is very happy there I am very happy with her placement and treatment. Her only complaint is the blandness of the food, but there's a lot of people who can't have any spices salt whatever so there's not much we can do about that.

The community is very clean, the food is very good and the staff is wonderful. They have a lot to offer, so take advantage of what is being offered. My loved ones are very well taken care of. There is patience and understanding. One thing, I would like to see is transportation services, for appointments or just to go shopping. It is worth my loved ones being there. Overall, they made it feel like home and not a center.

My experience has and continues to be that staff is very friendly and engaged with residents and other residents have expressed their satisfaction to me when I visit my dad. I do feel that they could offer a bit more variety with the activities.

What a Grinch! Called to let them know we would like to drop off a holiday gift for all of the residents. Kids were looking forward to giving the seniors a present. Manager was short with me and just said twice "We're not interested". HOW RUDE. And who's "WE"... I would bet that most residents would love to get a little gift from a couple kids. I would get my loved ones out of a place run by a person like her. Kinda makes me wonder if they're "Not Interested" in your loved ones either...just your $$$$$

The facility is new and beautifully maintained. The staff are friendly and efficient. The food is excellent! The library, laundry, craft room, and salon are all on the premises. All of the necessities are here, most provided as part of the rent. A well-thought-out facility for those of us who are simplifying our lives.

We have only lived here for 2 weeks. I enjoy it here very much. The rooms are very large and clean. The food couldn't be better. I haven't had a bad meal yet. They do offer activities if we want to take part.
