So happy to have found The Cottages
My mom has been at this facility for over two years. I know that she always has someone to help her when she needs it. I also know she is safe. All the care she receives at The Cottages is top notch. I am pleasantly surprised when I visit and I see mom has painted, participated in something new for her, or even gotten her nails done. The staff really cares about the residents and there’s even an on site super chef that loves his job. Finding a care facility can be difficult but I know I’ll never look elsewhere for my mom to be happy and safe in her final years.

5 STAR RATING FOR THE COTTAGES
My brother who is totally bed ridden has been a resident of The Cottages in Fix Lake, IL for 8 months. The stay has been nothing short of stupendous The total staff of cleaning, maintenance, chefs, personal care/attendance, nurses, doctors and directors have been great. They are friendly, communicative and helpfull. Oh, did I say, they are all very friendly and everyone is treated as family.

Cottages of Fox Lake is about Family
If there was a most-improved award in the care industry for adults with dementia, this place should get it. Charter's team has come in and increased staffing and the people they've brought in work together in special ways. Their flexibility and focus on the residents is top drawer. A gerontologist comes by regularly to check on residents and the care staff actively seeks out special advice on the wants and needs of their charges. They truly listen and develop plans for their residents around those preferences. Hospice is a welcome addition to daily care and the course of care from outside medical help is both welcome and adhered to. The care team works together really well, and they adapt well to anything special that comes up. Teamwork is a noteworthy strength. That comes from positive, focused leadership and caregivers' connection. Cottages' arrangement in four different buildings gives residents a cozy environment with about 14 housemates to get to know. It creates ... a family.

Would recommend
Some communication lapses at first. I was not told that they would not follow the plan for my husband's insulin administration. I was very clear with everyone about what the regimen was. Not once did anyone tell me they would not count carbs for his sliding scale insulin. They sought instruction from the house Dr. and our Dr. A new plan was made and he is doing well now. This could have been avoided . Since then, I receive frequent information about how he is doing and the staff have sought out sugar free foods and drinks for him so that he is not the only one who does not get a dessert or some juice. I am satisfied with the communication now. Lots of field trips and special events at the facility. They try very hard to engage clients and to keep them from isolating themselves in their rooms. Very satisfied with the value for cost. My husband is a veteran and as such is allowed by Charter to continue to use Tri Care for his medications rather than their corporate pharmacy. It saves us quite a bit of money.

A home for mom
Since I work, I had hoped to find a memory care residence for my mom that was close to work and home. I toured a few, and decided to place mom at "The Cottages, which is very close to both! The management now is superb, and I couldn't be happier! EVERYONE is on board providing excellent care, communication with families, and there is an abundance of activities and adventures for ALL of the residents; mom is thriving! [name removed] You are a God given gift to all. You plan and lead activities with the greatest of love and passion for each resident. I know, because I join in! Residents are out and about participating; not stuck in their rooms. The campus is beautiful and intimate, providing a lovely nature-like landscape for sitting, walking, and outdoor events. The new Alzheimer's/ Dementia Support Group for families to relate, share, and connect is a wonderful addition! With the many family inclusive events, as well as resident outings, I always look forward to attending all that I can!

Very good overall experience. Everyone has been kind to both my mom and the family. The cleanliness has never be an issue and everyone is friendly. There have been a couple of times that I could not find a caregiver or any staff, used the button and it was a slow response. Wasn't an emergency and they likely were busy but concerned me if it had been an emergency... Mom is eating and seems to like it. We would like to see more stimulation and variety. There is also a calendar but it doesn't seem to be followed regularly. They occasionally have a big event which is always well put together and fun. I really only checked out a couple of close places (I try to stop by daily) but the cost seemed in line with others.

The community is very pleasant, the grounds are beautiful it’s like having your own yard. The community is well kept and clean. Food is least to be desired. Laundry is always taken care of on time. If something is wrong maintenance director takes care of issues promptly.

Well run, engaging for the residents and their families!
When faced with such a daunting decision about where to place your loved one, I agonized over the poor quality of some of the homes I visited. At the last minute, my husband looked up The Cottages of Fox Lake because it so nearby. I can't tell you enough what a great decision it was. I received a callback literally within minutes, went to visit and signed all the papers. My sister is not just living there, she's thriving! The residents are always engaged in music, games, reading the daily news, taking walks, going on field trips and they are free to express their individual personalities. This place is clean, and the residents are known by name. It's a small group setting so friendships are made easily. I love this place and all the people who lovingly help the residents.

My mom was previously a resident at The Cottages of Fox Lake and I was pleased with her care there. While we had a few concerns, she was a difficult patient and had to be moved to memory care about 2 months after moving in, once my dad passed. I would definitely recommend The Cottages of Fox Lake as a good, safe place, especially outside of memory care, which is always challenging.

The staff is very nice and accommodating. The facility is small by most standards so they are able to customize things based on the needs of the residents. Food is difficult I'm sure. It wasn't bad but pretty repetitive. Cleanliness seemed many related to the cleaning of the apartments. Often it seemed dusting may not have been done.

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.

A Place for Mom has scored The Cottages of Fox Lake 9.7 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.
