Belmont Village Senior Living Lincoln Park helped my aunt live with dignity for the last couple of years for her life. My family is so grateful.

Can't say enough good things about Sunrise of Lincoln Park. The facility is well taken care of, good food, good people. Thank you Sally!

What a wonderful experience we had at this lovely place! The atmosphere is so warm and inviting—it really feels luxurious, and you can tell the tenants are happy. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, which made our visit all the more enjoyable. Our tour guide, Emily Waxenfelter, was just fantastic! She was not only charming but also truly passionate about her work. From our very first phone call to set up the tour, she made sure we had all the details we needed. I mentioned that my father is a veteran, and Emily went above and beyond to provide tailored information that would meet his needs. My father had an amazing first experience, and it really set a high standard for our search for a new home. I’m grateful to Artis for making this such a positive outing for us! If we decide to make the move, I’d be more than happy to share another review. Thanks for reading, everyone!

I think you guys are doing an excellent job with my sister keeta. And I really appreciate all that you guys do!

The Breakers is an affordable option for Independent living, with some inconveniences you should consider up-front. The building was built in 1988 and show signs of deferred maintenance and poor upkeep. This partially explains the low cost. And one day the building will need to be completely refurbished or sold, so be aware when the signs emerge that this is in the offing. The 4 elevators cannot adequately handle the resident population when one or more elevator will be shut down due to a move in, medical emergency, or frustrated staff holding the doors open with a chair on a floor to keep it for themselves. This can result in wait times over 30 minutes and makes planning for doctor's visits problematic as you never know how much time to allow. And the elevator size can't handle all the modern mobility assistance devices that many residents use now. Some staff are wonderful but most are burned out. And top level management is unprofessional, duplicitous or dictatorial. Beware!
