Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"It’s very DISAPPOINTING that the human experience is not comparable to the aesthetic experience at The Oaks. It seems they put all their money into making a beautiful place to dupe the families into trusting them with their loved one. Unfortunately, this place is not about people. It is all about money. They have not cared for my father at all, but continue to overcharge our family and then be smug about their behavior. The Oaks has been a horrible experience for our entire family and I would avoid them at all costs." - carey…

"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…
