Life at TLC
We (my wife and I) have stayed at 3 places. 2 were poor. TLC is the best. Building is made for senior people. Flat stove chains that five support. Food is good. Staff is an 11.

About the facility
TLC Living Community

TLC Living Community
Where it feels like home, because it is home.


TLC Living Community is a newly constructed, 92 apartment assisted living community, Phase 1 completed in March 2020. Located on six acres in Machesney Park, Illinois, it offers an ideal location close to retail, shopping, restaurants, and local services.

We believe that you shouldn’t have to leave your community when you need extra care. At TLC, you’ll have your own private apartment, with the assistance you need, available as you need it.

At TLC we take pride in providing not only a beautiful place for our residents to live, we take pride in our approach to care, and our excellent staff.

Our vision and philosophy were built upon an aging-in-place concept and we are resident focused. We embrace a “hospitality meets senior living” approach to everything we do. Our commitment to our residents and their families is only surpassed by our desire to allow everyone in our care and under our roof to have extraordinary, healthy, and well-rounded lifestyle.

We provide a 24/7 professional care team along with our state-of-art computerized resident care management software. This allows us to accurately, and in “real time,” document resident care, pass medications, interface...

Superb!
This community is vibrant! We toured for my grandfather. The residents were all happy & the staff was very helpful & kind. We had lunch and the meal was delicious- and the menu looked great for the rest of the week. The nursing staff all seemed very attentive - but everyone we encountered did too. The place is spotless & bright/cheerful. They also have parakeets in a community room & the residents seemed to love them. They rescued one of them - there’s a great story. Unfortunately, it turns out my grandpa needs a skilled nursing location- but if he needed assisted living , this is where we would move him. Highly recommend!

nice community!
Loved the building layout & color scheme. The nurses aides were wonderful- very friendly & always remembered my dad's name. Loved who they had happy hour every Wednesday & had singers come in & especially in December they had high school choir come in & other singers at different times to sing Christmas songs.

Wonderful facility, I would highly recommend.
I gave the staff of four because in his monthly fee he supposed to get two showers a week and there have been times where on his shower day nobody showed up. Also, on more than one occasion, the wait staff has told myself and my sister that we have to make reservations 24 hours in advance to have dinner with my father. It felt like I was getting reprimanded at the dinner table in front of all the other residents, and it didn't feel good and it didn't make my dad feel welcome either. That's why I give it a four for an overall experience. Wonderful facility, I would highly recommend. Minor issues to work out but I this facility is by far the best place for anyone looking for assisted living.

We feel good about our choice
TLC has been a good place for my mom. She has lived there more than three years now. The apartments are well designed, particularly the bathrooms. The whole facility is bright and vibrant. It feels cheerful, not depressing as some facilities do. Without a doubt, though, the most valuable feature is the staff. They are genuinely kind and caring......and not just the nursing staff, either. The people who work in the kitchen and dining room, the housekeeping and maintenance people, the administrative staff.....they are all great.

TLC- Best in the area!
My mom has been a resident at TLC for a year. We both are very happy that she chose to move in last year. The facilities are gorgeous and very, very well maintained and clean. The staff at TLC, from management to nursing to dining to housekeeping…everyone knows my mom and they are so kind and helpful to her. The residents are cheerful and have a lot of fun with the planned activities. I would recommend TLC to anyone with an elderly parent.

Hi Dad has been at Tlc sense it opened. Everyone has been very helpful and friendly. And I can relax knowing he is having fun and is well cared for. He tells me how much he enjoys the entertainment that’s brought in. I received a picture of him petting a baby goat a while back. He was a farmer his whole life. He raised cattle and hogs so this was special for him. It’s comforting knowing he is cared for and enjoying his later years. Oh he has watched lots of shows in the theater room about other countries. This was great to hear for it has opened his eyes to the world. He worked the land 24/7 and did not have the opportunity to see other places.

We can make it warm or cool whenever we want. We can play bingo 3 times a week, do crafts once a week, and art class once. We can see movies weekly.

Very clean, I have never seen an area I thought was dirty or needed attention. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. Mom loves them. The food is so good, it gets a 10! We also like to eat there with Mom. Nice variety to keep mom busy. >om is in a one bedroom apartment for the same cost other places wanted for a studio. TLC is new and beautiful with a great staff. We are very happy

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Illinois regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about TLC Living Community

TLC Living Community offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored TLC Living Community 9.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
