My experience has been exceptional. The staff is incredibly attentive and caring, providing personalized care to each resident. The facilities are immaculate and beautifully maintained, with a variety of activities that cater to all interests. The sense of community here is truly heartwarming, making it feel like home from day one. Meals are delicious and nutritious, and medical support is readily available. This facility offers peace of mind for families and a vibrant, fulfilling life for residents. Highly recommended!

If you’re looking for a safe, loving, and wonderful place for your loved one that needs care beyond what you’re able to provide at home don’t look any further. The Cottages provides a beautiful setting and a home-like feel, but it’s the staff that make this the gem that it is! Such wonderful, caring people that make you and your loved one feel like they are family. We’ve been with The Cottages and this team for >2 years and I can’t say enough about the place and the awesome staff!

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 t... read more

[name removed] has to one of the most professional people I have ever interacted with. Super knowledgeable about her role there and always seems very confident in our conversations. People like her are the reason certain places stay afloat and keep others not dreading to do business. I cannot speak highly enough. I wish there was more praise someone can do than fill out a review.

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.

We really liked the way that the Cottages is set up with the four (4) separate cottages (that are all set up to look the same) and residents are evaluated to make a proper fit based on their needs. Each cottage has their own living room, dining room and kitchen it makes for a comfortable and more intimate setting. The staff is great and they really get to know each resident and their individual personalities. There are plenty of planned activities and ability to mingle with the other residents in the other cottages as well. ... read more

We would recommend The Cottages of Fox Lake to others. The food could be better with more salad options, fish and better prepared fresh. They do well communicating with us and the intake went very smoothly.

I would recommend a friend considers this place, and tour the Cottages. As a whole we were pleased with our experience. In my mom's case she was unable to take care of herself and assisted living was not a good choice. Staff was easy to work with very helpful.Also the staff person fromA Place for Mom, that we worked with was wonderful. I have recommended a place for mom to several friends.
