Nice place, the staff didn't disappoint, they took their time to explain everything to me. Debbie Lewis took care of everything for me in getting my brother placed. I felt comfortable leaving my brothe with them and I know he's in good hands. Thank you Terrace!!!!

I just transferred my brother from another nursing home on Audrey Nixon Blvd. (Where he was neglected and forced to stay in a room with two other residents) to The Terrace and from the moment I met Tiffany, Director of Nursing, I knew he was in the best of care. The entire staff were so attentive to him upon his admission while they were evaluating him. He has already improved in just one week, I am grateful to God for leading me to this rehabilitation center because I know my brother will continue to improve with the caring professionals at The Terrace!

My 108 year old aunt, WillaBelle Jackson, has been a resident of the Terrace Nursing Home for about 6 years. She has always received personable & efficient care. The staff treats her healthcare with complete importance & promptly notifies her grand daughter if she ever has any needs or issues. On July 10, 2025, she was beautifully honored by the entire Terrace staff, Mayor Cunningham, Sheriff Idleburg & Cong. Schneider. The administrators, directors & their team showed such an outpouring of respect to my aunt for a well accomplished life. I believe, The Terrace Nursing Home has positively contributed to Aunt WillaBelle's longevity & quality of life. I would highly recommend this facility for a loved ones care.

During my mother's stay I found the stay to be very caring,treating her like she was family. The therapists did a good job of helping her achieve things she didn't think she could. The director and nursing director were always visible and handled any worries or needs in a timely manner. I want to thank them all for what they did for my mother.

The Terrace is truly a gem in the heart of Waukegan, designed to feel like a second home for its residents. From my perspective, the staff’s dedication and attentiveness set a high standard—they genuinely care for each resident, creating a warm, supportive community that stands out. Activities are thoughtfully planned, and it’s clear that residents feel engaged and comfortable. Families appreciate the frequent updates and open communication, which adds an extra layer of reassurance and peace of mind. The experienced physical therapy team is another standout feature, helping residents achieve their health goals and maintain mobility with compassion and skill. Plus, with easy access via walking, biking, driving, or public transport (there’s a bus stop right out front!), visiting couldn’t be more convenient. This blend of accessibility and care makes The Terrace a welcoming place for both residents and their loved ones.
