Lexington Square Lombard a CCRC

I wish the meals were healthier but I also concede that they probably appeal to an older audience. There are a lot of activities and they seem open to suggestions for new things. My MIL participates in some but not all. Wi-Fi /tv is only ok. Many residents get Xfinity for better channel selection and faster internet. Overall, we're happy with Lexington. They offered the largest apartments for the money with ample storage.

Personally, as a diabetic, the main meal, dinner/supper is very high in starches and carbs so I don't eat potatoes, noodles etc; or very little carbs and choose greens and healthier vegetables. I have a studio -- one large room with sliding doors to my sleeping & desk area, small kitchen off main room with stove, fridge, dishwasher & cabinets; full bath and walk-in closet on either side of main entrance. They also have 1&2 bedroom apartments. I'm paying a monthly rent but I know others have bought their apartments. We have an excellent exercise/physical workout room and Jill, who runs it, is excellent

The staff is exceptionally kind and caring, good communication with staff, the executive director is outstanding. My mom is happy, and I am extremely relieved that she is in good hands with people I trust.

The food , as usual was prepared with delicious flavor and also with attention to texture and tenderness (chewability). Good job Lexington Square Lombard And the staff truly like Seniors. That gets a 10. I am of the opinion that what made Lex Square stand out to me wasn't just the friendliness of the staff, but their noticeable warm professionalism and compassion. And I continue to see evidence of this each day since I have moved in.

I'm still getting to know people and adjusting to the change. I'm not real outgoing so this usually takes longer for me; but I'm settling into a regular routine. I really enjoy the exercise program, and the lady who runs it is great. I tend to do things by myself - art projects, reading, enjoying classical music - but I'm getting out more and getting to know others better. Personally I think the dinner menus are too fancy; main entrees with sauces on the side is more preferable to me but... Cost is higher, but I also have a larger size studio.

Only reason I listed quality of care last is due to my mother-in-law being in independent living so not needing care. The space in the apartment especially room for a table in the kitchen. Also the front receptionist not only remembers me, but is also able to give me small updates on my mother-in-law especially when she was new to the community.

Many of the employees have been working there a very long time and you can tell they really care about their jobs and the residents. The move in process was not as coordinated as I would expect, some information was not conveyed to the resident, but everyone was friendly and helped resolve the issues. Families should take a very active role in move ins and be sure the resident has all of the information they need

After Dad died, Mom's loneliness was engulfing her more and more. While the thought of leaving the home they had shared so long together was heartbreaking, she was looking forward to being around other people again on a daily basis. While she still grieves, she is happy to have found a community at Lexington where she feels at home, fits in with new friends, and has even reconnected with an old neighbor that she discovered is living there.

We have not had experience with the meals or dining service but when we speak with our loved one she seems to really be enjoying it. They do offer a fair amount of good activities for the residents to do. The overall value is good, we feel that you get a lot for what you pay for. She is happy there and based on our families experience so far we would recommend Lexington Square to others

Lexington Square is the best place for senior living. They give the best of care to my dad who has been a resident for over [number removed] years. The facility is very clean, the staff is super attentive, upbeat and friendly. If he has a medical need, the nurses are just a phone call away. They follow up on my dad and make sure the family is notified if necessary. I know he is safe, has numerous activities to keep him busy, both mentally and physically. He has many friends and recently turned 99 years old and is still in independent living. Thank you Lexington for taking such loving care of my dad. You are the best!

The buy-ins for all the communities in my area is really high, and I think it is crazy. I believe Lexington is great. During the move in process the person I was speaking to, ended up moving on to another job. I wasn't told about the process of switching from independent living to assisted living or memory care. I feel like I didn't get all the information and now it is hard to get the information I am asking for. The person that works the front desk is amazing.

I have been very happy with Lexington of Lombard. They are very accommodating. I feel comfortable that my mom is safe there. They give her plenty of of attention. No complaints regarding the food. They have a little bit of outdoor space.

Great open atrium. Happy people all around.
