"Lake Barrington Woods (LBW) is an excellent IL and AL community in a location that is popular in Lake and McHenry counties. Many from Barrington who want to stay in the area select LBW for IL or AL, but so do people from Cary, which is in McHenry County. The apartments are spacious. A particular feature is the lounge area with bar, sitting area and fireplace. This is a Senior Lifestyle community with affordable pricing, especially for IL. From a professional standpoint the sales staff is awesome to work with. (A slight downside is that the community is a slow payer.)" - Don…

Westbrook Senior Living

From $3,465/mo

110 West Schaumburg Road, Streamwood, IL, 60107
Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"The facility is clean and nicely appointed, but not well-run or a good value for the money. In the short time our mom was there (almost two years), they have had three executive directors. With the exception of Allie at the front desk, Westbrook is not a caring supportive community. Our loved one was in independent living, but the director did not tolerate us advocating for our parent who was starting to need additional support. No care or concern shown. They are corporately owned and are concerned with their image rather than residents. They operate with minimal overworked staff, and offer minimal services while raising rates. Food was awful and served in to-go containers (as they can’t keep dining room staff). The facility was not a good fit for our family and we don’t recommend." - Karen…
