I engaged Lincoln Park Family Care (LPFC) in the midst of the pandemic no less, after my mother…read morefinished with her skilled nursing stint after a fall, and was released to her Independent Living apartment in an upscale senior center in Evanston that in theory provides all levels of care. However, my mother's return to the apartment was conditioned on employing assistance for her. As I manage my mother's affairs from across the country, this was a challenge as her senior center did not have anyone on their "list" that provided the kind of care my mother needed - daily check in and assistance with medication. My mother is intensely private and independent, and so the alternatives of half day "companionship" were not a good match, even though she suffers from dementia. Fortunately, Lincoln Park and Jeff and his wife Ausra were recommended by a former caregiver (since retired) I had employed for my stepfather several years ago. The team at Lincoln Park stepped in immediately with aplomb. They worked diligently to win my mother's confidence and trust - this is not an easy task. They provided me with reports on her progress and advocated on her behalf with the staff at her community. They made themselves available by phone 24/7 for when she got confused on things like her medication instructions. All of this was made even more challenging with the pandemic which forced my mother to spend all of her days locked-up in her apartment. Jeff obviously has a wealth of knowledge and experience working with dementia patients. One of the things it is especially hard to do, especially from afar, is evaluating the on the ground experience vs. the told experience of someone in mental decline who is fighting very hard to "keep with-it." Jeff very deftly and respectfully laid out the evolving situation as we all threaded our way through a very difficult time as my mother navigated her challenges amidst the changing COVID world. Ausra provided a very caring presence, especially with female support, and stepping in to take care of small shopping requests. Jeff and Ausra work as a very good team, and have other skilled caregivers when they are not on point. I can't say enough for the quality of care they have given to my mother and at the same time the assistance they provided me in understanding the situation in my role as remote caregiver. They have also been good eyes and ears on the ground, helping me stay attuned to the changing dynamics of the Center necessitated by COVID. I highly recommend Lincoln Park Family Care.

Lincoln Park Family Care (LPFC) has been a wonderful provider for my mom who has moderate…read moreAlzheimer's Disease and lives in a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). Many CCRCs, no matter how upscale they are, are understaffed and are not designed for people with mild to moderate dementia. They offer three categories of care (independent living, assisted living, and memory care) when, in my opinion, there should be at least six categories. They market themselves as providing all of the services an aging person will need, but that's not really the case. Our elders are healthier than in the past and as a result, more of them are going to age into dementia. It's a looming crisis in elder care. In my opinion, CCRCs need to evolve. Until they do, people who can afford CCRCs may have to hire private care or their loved one may suffer alone and be heavily sedated. My mom is young (72), physically healthy and active, which presents challenges because she is also unable to make rational decisions. She does not understand that she has dementia and is proud and independently minded, so assisting her with activities of daily living can also be very challenging. Jeff and Ausra, the owners, have gone above and beyond in providing not only compassionate care for my mom, but support for me via many meetings and phone calls. Before working with them we had another caregiving provider and experienced turnover and last-minute sick call-outs, resulting in substitute caregivers my mom did not know. The only time I got a phone call was when there was a problem. This is not how LPFC operates at all. I get frequent updates from them, and we also talk to share ideas, discuss challenges, and also share positive experiences. LPFC takes a very hands-on approach and they are clearly driven by empathy and an earnest desire to make my mom's life as fulfilling as possible. A lot of thought has gone into the caregivers they have matched with my mom. Retirement communities can be challenging environments for private caregivers to navigate, and LPFC has also been consistently patient, honest and proactive in communicating with the retirement community and being patient with the challenges. The chord running through all of what LPFC does is to provide my mom with the best care based on her unique needs. I have heeded their frank and constructive advice many times, and their insights have given me a better understanding of how to approach my mom's behaviors and needs as we navigate this challenging and tragic journey. I highly recommend LPFC. I feel very lucky we found them.

Buckingham is What a Nursing Home is Supposed to Be!…read more When it came time to find a nursing home for my father, I was deeply worried that my Dad's new home wouldn't be sufficiently caring, clean, comfortable or professionally operated. So, I researched well over a hundred nursing homes across Chicago and the suburbs. I am so glad that exhaustive search enabled me to find Buckingham Pavilion! Everyone was caring, understanding, patient and attentive to my Dad's needs. This was true of everyone on the team from the receptionists to the nurses, to the escorts, to the maintenance staff. I was never given any reason to worry about my Dad's level or care or comfort. During my many visits, I saw that he, and the other residents, were happy at Buckingham. Also, my Dad's room, the dining room and all the community spaces were always kept clean and the residents' room were significantly more spacious than at other homes. To top it off, one of the owners I frequently checked in with is not only caring, communicative and professional, but a person of great integrity. I could not be more thankful for everything that everyone at Buckingham did for my Dad and my family.

Apple dropped my dysphagic husband as a home health patient while he was in the hospital, claiming…read morethey had no speech therapists available. This was a flat-out lie, as their speech therapist was texting us at the same time saying she was looking forward to resuming visits when he was discharged. Apple made no effort to find alternative care as required by law. We very likely had a good case for suing for patient abandonment, but chose not to pursue it since all our time and efforts were going into trying to improve my very sick husband's health. Alas, Apple doesn't have the same interest in its patients' safety and well-being. A very dangerous company to do business with, in our view.
