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.

Great experience...you actually saved both my mom and myself from a very difficult situation....5 stars out of 5. I would tell others that the facility is small enough and friendly enough to establish a community type environment. The location is also great for me, I am only 10 minutes away so that was a key factor in our decision. Also, the price was actually fair and affordable.

We toured with The Cottages of Fox Lake and the location was a bit too far away from us - it also had a hospital smell to it.

We had a good tour at The Cottages of Fox Lake. I liked that they offered lots of activities for the residents. But the rooms were tiny. They were just way too small. And the rooms didn't look as clean / fresh / new as we preferred.

They are all very friendly. There is a slight room for improvement with the care services, and it would be nice if they cleaned, the individual bathrooms more often. They have a ton of activiites, but my loved one does not participate. I am very happy with the care. I like the small building and cottage approach. It's a smaller number of residents, and it's more personable. It's clean , new and does not smell. I would love to see more fresh veggies, homemade foods, and more nutritional options.

The Cottages of Fox Lake is pretty expensive but it is a very nice community. From what we have heard from our loved one the meals and dining service seems to be quite good. When we do come to visit we see different activities going on for the residents and our loved one is more active then what they usually were. We really appreciate that when we make suggestions to the staff they actually listen to us and then follow through with the suggestion. We like that our loved one has their own apartment with a little kitchette in ... read more
