What this means for your family
Lincolnwood Place is highly regarded for its independent living lifestyle, social programming, and dining. However, families seeking skilled nursing or memory care should exercise extreme caution; multiple reviewers have reported serious safety lapses, hygiene issues, and unprofessional conduct in these specific units. We recommend scheduling a tour specifically of the nursing wing and asking direct questions about staff-to-resident ratios and infection control protocols.

However, the facility faces serious, recurring allegations regarding the quality of care in its skilled nursing and memory care units, including reports of falls, hygiene issues, and unprofessional staff behavior. Families considering this facility should carefully distinguish between the positive experiences in independent living and the more concerning reports from the medical care wings.”

Key Review Excerpts
“My mom has lived at Lincolnwood Place for almost 10 years now. The staff is very friendly and attentive and there is not a day that goes by that she does not get greeted my multiple team members by name.”
“My recent experience at this skilled nursing facility has been disappointing and concerning. Many certified nursing assistants (CNAs) frequently use vulgar language and curse openly in front of residents, which creates an unprofessional environment.”
“The last straw was when they moved her to a new room across the hall that had recently been vacated. They did not clean the room or bed and my mom contracted MRSA.”
