I went to Lake Barrington Woods. The lady who met us was very informative and very helpful. She took us on a tour of the facilities. They were very nice, very clean and very modern. We went to one room, which was a two-bedroom and it was very nice. She showed us about eight different floor plans. It seemed like they had a tremendous amount of activities all day. They had a varied menu for the meals. They offer breakfast and dinner every day, seven days a week. They offered a choice of outside parking or inside heated parking. They have a library and a courtyard and a very extensive fitness center. It's very nice and very modern, and the apartment she showed us had a very large kitchen that's well equipped and had large closets. They had a washer and dryer per room. The staff was very helpful, very patient, and very willing to take time for us. The building was very big, and the halls were very long. We did not have any meals, but she gave us a menu for that day and it was very extensive and had lots of choices. All the utilities are included plus they have a deal where you get a button to wear if you need it, so that in case you have an emergency, you just press the button and help comes.

We toured Lake Barrington Woods. What we liked least was the age of the building, even though they are doing some major renovations. For us in particular, the age of the residents was significantly older than we are. They also didn't have a lot of couples, and we are a couple. It was just not what we were looking for. The staff was very informative, very knowledgeable, and very friendly. She was just a very nice and outgoing person. There was work in process, but the place was clean. There is a courtyard and a patio that people could sit on. They also have a game room. The rooms have kitchen and in the units. They have a dining room too. They have meal programs as well.

The apartments at Lake Barrington were nice and spacious. It was an older community, but still it was nice. The lady who gave me the tour was very gracious and gave me a lot of information. The dining room was big. Overall, it was clean even with the renovations that were going on which were quite extensive in the hallways. My overall impression of the staff was good. I also met two of the residents and they gave very good impression of what they thought about the place and the things that they like. It was all very positive.

I might consider moving my parents into Lake Barrington. It's much smaller, it's older, and could use modernizing in some areas, however, the feel of the place is what I liked. It felt like people were living there and were not just housed there. One of the activity rooms had art projects all over the place; it was a mess, but that's fine for me, because it means things are happening there. The rooms were a better size than other places. I liked that they were flexible in that if one parent was independent, and another need assisted living, they could still be together, and that's important to me. The lady that did the tour was very empathetic, caring, explained the place really well, and was good about asking me questions. I'm still in communication with her. The people seem to be interacting more, the dinner area was smaller, and people seem to be actually communicating there. It's just a smaller, more intimate place, so people can get more attention.

Lake Barrington Woods is a nice place for seniors. My mother, who recently passed, lived in the facility (independent living) for over 3 years and she liked it very much. The staff was considerate, kind, friendly and helpful to the residents and visitors. My mother enjoyed her stay at LBW and she made a lot of friends while she lived there. This is a facility that a senior should strongly consider when looking for a place to reside.

I liked Lake Barrington a lot. The apartments were nice, bright and reasonably large. There were people doing things all over. The person who took me around was very nice. They had meal service, a physical fitness class, rooms for playing cards, and a craft room. There were a lot of things to do.

Lake Barrington was excellent, and it was like a beehive down there. Everybody was doing something; there were ladies in the beauty shop, there were people in the lounge, and they were everywhere. The residents were very active and very friendly. The lady who took us on a tour was absolutely fantastic, and she was a very good person for that job. She's very sociable, very outgoing, and very pleasant. The rooms looked great, the dining room was very classy, and the menus were fantastic.

Lake Barrington Woods was very nice. It has a lot of things and my aunt’s needs were met. But she is not happy with the food. It started out to be very good, but I think they need to change hands. They have buses to take them shopping, outings that are available if they can go and trips to theaters. They have movie nights, different card games, game groups and crafts and they sometimes bring groups in. They have family gathering every year where we all come and they walk around and have trays of appetizers and all kinds of things, and some entertainment too. There is a facility there like if I wanted to have a birthday for my mom and they have a private room for that.

A lovely & lively place! We were greeted by upbeat, fun, professional, caring staff & friendly residents busy with their activities, socializing & Happy hour.Were treated to a fresh, made-to-order dinner with soup/salad, hearty entree, sides & dessert. Very satisfying & delicious. The INDOOR pool was the deal-maker for me. Great daily exercise & I'm eager to re-learn scuba!. The fitness equipment is also up-scale. Views of the woods are sublime & the resident-created flower-filled outdoor patios are wonderful.So many on/off-campus activities & clubs, boredom is NOT an issue. I plan to clear the billiard table & fine-tune my poker game! Excited to move in soon!

We went to Barrington, and this one I really liked. They are very nice over there. It was very nice, and the food was very nice. Everybody was very friendly, and the rooms were nice. The rooms were fine and as spacious as what most of them would be. The environment was bright and positive with everybody being friendly and everything being nice.

I was impressed by the friendliness of Lake Barrington, and the people there can avail themselves of so many different things such as game rooms, and there was an exercise room and just a lot of things going on that the residents can avail themselves of. The people were very friendly and their manager -- Ms. Labuda -- was just outstanding. I have been to four or five other places, and she was just an incredible person. She runs this place with a very positive, upbeat attitude. I would rate them a four mainly because it looks a little tired; it needs a paint job and some new carpeting.

Currently, I'm in Lake Barrington's waiting list. What I like best about this facility is their two-bedroom-two-bathroom apartments. I also like that they have covered parking for my car. The staff that I met was very pleasant. They have breakfast and dinner everyday for their residents.

We chose Lake Barrington mainly because we had a daughter that lived 10-minutes away. It was lovely and spacious. The community seemed really friendly. We visited other facilities but this one seemed to fit my husband best. I thought he would be happy there.

I thought that the atmosphere of the facility itself wasn't lively enough. There were not many decorations around, but the residents all seemed to be having a good time. That leads me to believe that the staff and residents there are friendly people, but the rooms themselves were less than satisfactory. They painted a lot of the walls gray, which is, I think, bad for retirees. Their lunches seemed balanced when I went, the lunch was chicken noodle soup with a house salad and bread. They also have accommodations for those with special dietary needs. It is situated next to a medium-sized street, so the noise wasn't too bad. Occasionally, however I heard some honking, so this particular facility would not be good for sensitive residents. I think that, overall, this is a well run facility. The staff seem good, and if it wasn't for their lack of liveliness, I would have considered it.
