A Wonderful Place that Prides Themselves on the Details!

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!

Lake Barrington Woods review

All 5s, my mother loves it even more than she thought she would! On site pool and exercise classes, multiple dining areas and options. Many activities and outings. Some medical services provided on site . Phones answered 24/7 as are visiting hours. My mother also enjoys the decor and finds the food delicious.

Pleasant and personal.

The apartments are roomy, well-lit and are very comfortable and maintained. Same for the common areas. The majority of staff are pleasant and caring toward the residents. I encourage staff training addressing taking personal responsibility for follow-through to both residents and visitors. Some examples include (but not necessarily limited to) returning phone calls; checking on and reporting residents' welfare as requested and following up on issues that span across consecutive shifts. It is also very important to have specific maintenance and repair contracts to assure reliable elevator functioning.

We helped a friend find an apartment at LBW. The women who showed us the facility, as well as the transitions coordinator, were very helpful and stayed in contact with our friend. The facility is warm, clean, and inviting. We have not eaten there, but we did see the menu; it looked very good. They offered a myriad of activities as well as the availability of health professionals and salon services. In addition, every resident we met was friendly and cordial! Individuals would comment on how they enjoyed the facility. I would recommend LBW.

Great people, both residents and staff! Very warm and welcoming.

All in all, I have been pleased with my choice of Lake Barrington Woods. Like all such communities, there is always room for improvement, and staff recognizes that and works hard to make our community shine. I am currently participating in the establishment of a Resident Council to enhance communication with internal and external management.

My Tour Experience at Lake Barrington Woods

My mother in law thought Lake Barrington was dark and she didn't like the vibe there. The apartment they showed us was dated and very dark. She loves having her own washer and dryer in her apartment at [removed]. The elevators there were really slow and she didn't like that either. She knew immediately that Lake Barrington Woods was not the place for her. People were very nice, but she didn't like it. She also likes that the independent living is separate from most of the assisted living and totally separate from memory care. But she likes to know that those communities are available to her as she gets older. At Lake Barrington Woods they have mixed living and it kind of felt like a college dorm totally different from [removed].

Second experince, overall pleased

The main reason we chose Lake Barrington Woods was because the location is close to all of our family. I like that you can go in and out at anytime which is very nice. I go early in the morning and late at night and at other facilities, they had visiting hours so it is a plus that they do not do that here. There is also always someone at the front desk. They have recently gone through some management turnover, so there have been some changes within the facility. I would recommend Lake Barrington Woods to others.

Staff constantly changing, beautiful aesthetics

My father has been there a little over a year and I believe there has been 3 different general managers running the place. The amenities are great, sadly my father just sits in his room and doesn't socialize, so not sure it is worth the cost for him. But for those who do like to do things and meet people, it seems lovely. The food has taken a turn since COVID and the cost cutting measures are definitely noticed with less and less meat/protein and more noodles. But still good.

Great Staff

The staff was incredibly helpful with my loved one's care and in looking after her. Any place can put in a nice building, but it was really the staff that made Lake Barrington Woods. If we had it to do over again, we would go back there.

Our Experience at Lake Barrington

It gives an older person a chance to have a new life. They get to go from being lonely to being active and having socialization with peers. The facility is short-staffed and has some temporary staff coming in, so there are times where the care is good and times when it's bad. They've been responsive when I express concerns, but issues persist and might not resolve until they no longer have a need to bring in temporary staff.

Would recommend definitely

I went with Lake Barrington because I just had a very comfortable feel here when I came in and I still do, it is a very comfortable place to be. The apartment sizes are good, mine is lovely and I am so happy with it. I do have a washer and dryer in my unit. There is a heated pool on site and lots of other amenities offered, the value for what you get is great. They strive all the time to improve things like the menu and so on and so forth. Overall it has been a very good experience for me.

[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.

For those who might be scared about entering senior living, overall it's a great place, & I'm satisfied with my decision

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.

My review of Lake Barrington Woods

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.
