Lincolnwood Place has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: warm, attentive staff in independent living and clean, well-maintained facility grounds. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Lincolnwood Place is a large, well-maintained senior living community that generally receives high praise for its independent living environment, friendly staff, and active social calendar. 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.”
“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.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
