Lisle Creek Estates

Skilled nursing, assisted living and independent living all share a campus at Lisle Creek Estates, 1700 Robin Lane in Lisle. This building was previously listed as Brookdale Lisle; Senior Lifestyle now operates it as Lisle Creek Estates. The property sits in the Four Lakes neighborhood, and residents can reach a fishing pond on the grounds, which gives the setting an outdoor feel for a suburban address.

Having skilled nursing on campus matters for families planning ahead. Skilled nursing provides round-the-clock nursing care, including recovery care after a hospital stay, and short-term and respite stays are also offered. Assisted living covers help with daily tasks, with trained associates available 24 hours a day and an emergency response system in place. Independent living suits residents who handle their own care but want meals, housekeeping and laundry handled for them.

Daily life includes restaurant-style dining with private dining options, a fitness center, an indoor pool, a library, a game room and a calendar of activities and social events. Scheduled transportation covers appointments and outings. The community is pet friendly and has a secured dog park, which matters to residents moving with a dog. Families can also ask about the ElderLife Financial Concierge service for help planning how to pay for care.

Since the name and operator changed, it is worth asking how long the current leadership team has been in place and how moves between levels of care are handled. Compare the answers with other senior living in Lisle before deciding.
