Gurnee Meadows

I visited this facility

I visited Gurnee Meadows. They have a lot of things to do. I like it a lot. They were very clean, and people were my age. Every day they had something going on. They had a library, pool tables, and even a beauty shop. They also had a bus that comes every Wednesday on every hour to take them anywhere you want to go on Gurnee. You cook your own meals there. The staff was very nice and very accommodating. For anything you need, you just come and see them. I only met one staff member there, and I like her very much.

BEST PLACE I HAVE LIVED!

I moved in here 4 1/2 years ago at the age of 57 and LOVE IT! Management is phenomenal! They keep the place so beautiful and decorated at most of the holidays. The best part is the people who live here. We are like one big family and get along quite well. There is always something going on and lots of interaction so you do not feel alone.

Has Potential BUT...

This has the potential of being a great place to live BUT if you have the misfortune of a rude neighbor who blares the TV from midnight to 6am (quiet time is 9:30[removed] it destroys the relaxing ambience of the place. I can even hear him snore loudly through the wall!! Numerous complaints to him and management quickfix the situation BUT never lasts and the problem continues. A HUGE disappointment.

They've met all of my expectations and needs

I’m living here currently and it’s going really, really well. I’m very pleased. When I moved in, my apartment was perfect. I had new carpet and new paint and it was really a pleasure to be able to move in. I was on the waiting list for a few months but they were able to give me exactly what I wanted, including my own parking space in the underground garage. The staff is very helpful. The only issue I ever see is that maybe someone forgets to vacuum the elevator because it’s a high traffic area but the community roo…

I think that the manager is very professional and very flexible. I think that the actual facility needs a little updating but other than that, I think it has been a really good experience for my in-laws.

Needs improvement

I like my apartment but the rest of the place needs work. The doors need to be replaced. I'm not real thrilled with it. I feel like I was kind of deceived. Your not allowed to say anything to the maintenance guys. You can't do laundry after 9:30. It just needs some loving. It needs new painting. I wish they had a fence around the place. They have all kinds of people walking through there. The manager is nice though.
