Overall nice community

Staff and residents have been very friendly and the environment is always welcoming. My mother in law was very hesitant when she first moved in but within a month was more social than she has been in years. 3 months in and she has a group she calls her friends that she joins for meals, different activities like crafts and cards, and they even order pizza from time

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...

Remarkable Community

Mom has been there for one year now and it is a remarkable facility. There are many daily activities for socialization, exercise, brain fitness, walking clubs, garden clubs, and lots of delightful entertainers. The staff is top-notch. Many have been there for 15 years or more which speaks for itself. Very responsive, and very caring. My mom is happy with the food... recent food price increases were reasonable.

The Timbers a Welcoming Warm Environment for Mom or Dad

The staff at Timbers is very friendly and super helpful. From the receptionist to the wait staff you are welcomed and treated very warmly. The medication management staff is competent and accommodating. The Timbers have ample space for walking and enjoying the beautiful grounds. They have regularly scheduled activities which the residents appear to really enjoy.

Review for The Timbers of Shorewood

We toured other facilities and they were nice but no one was out and about. When we walked into The Timbers, people were everywhere just hanging out and talking, waiting for the night's activities to begin. The staff is friendly, the residents are very nice, and they seem to have a lot of activities for the residents. My mother in law is very happy there. She's eating different things that she wouldn't at home. She's made friends easily and has been enjoying her time there so far.

My Favorite Things

A list of my favorite things at the Timbers of Shorewood! My favorite activity is Bunco. My favorite outdoor space is the patio on the north side of the building. My favorite thing about the restaurant is the variety of the menu. My favorite thing about my apartment is all of the space and things in it. My favorite staff are the activity personnel.

Comfortable Senior Living for a Modest Price

Good people and neighbors who are friendly and sociable. My apartment is cleaned well and supplied with fresh towels. There are capable handymen to fix and repair issues and remove garbage. Food is delicious and meals are available three times a day if desired. Residents are looked after well with active list of activities and escort services.

A Wonderful Home with Great Staff

Timbers is a great place. When I had to give up my living quarters it was hard. Timber is my HOME now. It’s the best and people are great. The people who work here are the best. Thanks to all the staff that run the Timbers!

Perfect place for mom!

Perfect place for my mom! She's having a blast. She's on a bowling league (Wii) Bingo just being able to socialize when ever she wants. She's having a fun time! 2 different size apartments with 1 bedroom and there's a2 bedroom. Her 1 bedroom is the smaller 1 but we took it It was the only vacant one.

Hallway lights

My only complaint is that I think the hallway lights are not bright enough. When you have a parent that lives there that is sight impaired it is extremely hard for them to navigate the hallways. Thank you!

What a special place!

My parents moved into the Timbers in [date removed] and lived there together until my dad passed away 6 months ago. It has been a wonderful experience for them! My mom is very comfortable in her apartment and I like knowing there is always someone there if she needs help. And I simply cannot say enough about the staff. Every single staff member has treated my parents with respect and care, including the front desk, the office staff, the waiters and waitresses in the restaurant, the activities people and the gentlemen who work to maintain the facilities. The food in the restaurant is very good - I enjoy joining them for dinner on occasion! The activities director works so hard to make sure there is always something fun to do. She goes above and beyond to make things special! In 2 years we have had enough time to make a fair judgment, and if I could give them more than 5 stars I would! I highly recommend.

Why I live here

I came here 1 1/2 years ago with my husband. He has since passed and I now make my home in the unassisted section. Everyone who works here is so kind and considerate and there is a lot of other people who make this their home also so you are never alone unless you want to be. A good place

Very friendly staff and residents good too.

Wasn’t sure about being in an apartment after living in my own townhouse. I learned it was similiar but i didn’t have to worry about feeling lonely. There is always something to do and I learned games too. This is a good place to come when ur house becomes too much.

The common area carpets need to replaced, a fresh coat of paint would help. But otherwise clean.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The facility is clean but needs some updating. Everyone is very friendly. They seem to be chronically understaffed. They do have excellent meals and portions. My mom only does a few of the activities. The value is in line with the cost, but the costs are always increasing.

Genuine staff.

She has been very happy at The Timbers and everything is going well. I live an hour away and visit every other weekend. Not only do the CNA's know all the residents, they address me by my first name. I can't believe they remember me out of all the residents and families they help. They really care.

Timbers of Shorewood Review

Our son contacted “A Place for Mom.” He was given a list of 3 places for us to see as my husband and I were ready to move closer to our family. Located in Shorewood, Illinois, The Timbers of Shorewood is close to grocers, pharmacy, eating facilities and others. A safe area close to main roads. The living areas are efficient, clean, friendly and rated #1 in the area by the state of Illinois. Super efficient staff with an activities department that always has activities for everyone. They have efficient laundry rooms. Additionally, they have patios for relaxing outside with an invitingly large patio off of the dining area for outside entertainment. They have a paved ½ mile walking area around the facility with places to sit. Dining facilities are available but not mandatory. Comcast and WIFI available at no extra charge. All staff are efficient and very helpful 24/7. It definitely is “A Place for Mom AND Dad”.
