Caring Home for Dad
My dad moved in about 5 months ago and I am very pleased with the care he has been receiving. The staff genuinely cares for it’s residents and has been incredibly accommodating to dad and very understanding of not only his memory care but his numerous needs. Kind is an understatement of the entire staff who not only desire to know the residents, but they are very welcoming of the family and friends who visit. Dad loves the food and there are always plenty of activities to keep him occupied throughout the day. It was a heartbreaking day when Dad moved out of the family home, but it is heartwarming to know he is in a safe, warm, and welcoming place he now calls home!

Caring and Professional Group
The staff at Encore at Crystal Lake are very caring and very professional. They want to do what's best for whoever they're taking care of. They keep in very good contact with you. If there are any difficulties or they need anything, they get right to you. They always had activities available. It's a very well run organization, and I would recommend it to anyone. I like the fact that it was a small group - they had a maximum of 38 residents in memory care, so all the staff knew everybody.

Would Recommend
There are a lot of activities. The staff is friendly. They're very easy to communicate with, and they're willing to talk to the family members about any situation. The care is good overall. They check on my loved one every couple of hours and throughout the night. It's a small facility, so it's very cozy and comfortable.

Smaller community, and they give what truly matters to the seniors, quality care. So many communities say they give the best care and fall short. This community truly cares and it shows. The staff care.

The meals and dining service is not the best, it could be improved they do not really cook with any fresh vegetables. When our loved one does participate in the activities they really seem to enjoy them and the value for the money is adequate.
