The perfect fit

[name removed] and the Encore staff were the perfect fit for our mother. I cannot say enough about the excellent care and the kindness she was shown. They truly have the residents best interest in mind! The facility is clean and mom is always clean with her hair brushed. Mom loves bingo and as she has declined in her cognitive abilities, [name removed] puts her right next to her so she can help her play her bingo cards. It means so much to have her at a place that she is safe, well cared for and loved. We are forever grateful to [name removed] and the entire staff!!

Mom is Happy

Encore of South Barrington is the “best decision” we ever made for our Mom’s memory care needs. As soon as you walk through the front door, you should immediately feel at home. Encore provides a warm, enjoyable but structured environment that makes your loved one feel safe and comfortable. The compassionate staff does an exceptional job assisting with bathing, dressing, meals and managing of all of her medications. I personally love that there are daily fun-filled activities and programs planned to keep our Mom engaged and interacting with others. The best part is that our Mom is HAPPY and that makes our family HAPPY.

Very Impressed

This place is a hidden gem. We had a wonderful experience. I have been in several other facilities and nothing compares. I also love [community removed]. That's who they recommended for rehab when she fell. Nursing staff and administrators are amazing at the Courtyard. However, the [community removed] is a death trap. That's who the hospital recommends.

Facility & Administration

I just want to start by saying, the few bad reviews, blow my mind. We moved my loved one a few months ago, we had the best experience. [name removed] and the Assistant, [name removed]. Were there every step of the way. Supportive, and answered every question my family had within seconds. Professional to add. There’s so much involvement in the community, as far as activities, which has helped my loved one get out and mingle. When we stop in and visit, almost daily, the office door is always open and available for anyone to go in and speak. Which leads, always an open door to lead. They must have recently got a new cook, my loved one has said the food has been great lately. I highly recommend you to step into the assisted living and get a feel. This place is heaven compared to other surrounding places. Thank you.

Review for Encore at Bolingbrook

I'm pleased with my Mom's care. Every person I have had the pleasure of working with concerning my Mom have been supportive, loving and caring. Encore is a smaller facility. I chose this home rather than one of the larger ones because I value family. My Mom knows all the staff and residents. She is in great hands. Every time I visit, the residents are involved in a variety of activities. Often there is a visit by someone of interest. Example... a lovely man brought his Cello and played for the residents. My Mom played the cello in High School. She was all smiles!!! Mom was an avid gardener. Her home garden was actually part of a garden tour. I have taken her out to pick out plants. A couple of the other residents helped plant the flowers. Of course her dementia has become worse so the involvement has lessened. She's in a very caring home.

Friendly Community

Our loved one did not participate much in the activities and we gave the value for cost a 4 only because I think most everything is overpriced, but it also was brand new. my Mom was there for 2 weeks and ended up have mini strokes and passed a way 2 weeks later. But for the 2 weeks she was there, she was the happiest we had seen her in quite a while. Over all we really liked the place and I recommend it to often to people who are on the fence of where to go and what to do. Mom really liked the staff there and was enjoying making new friends for the short time she was able to.

Exactly what we were looking for

We love that everything is included. Definitely feels safe and well-cared for. My mother-in-law can be very particular...but she's been happy there. Lots of activities to do if she chooses. She's in a studio, so we were a little worried it would be too small for her. But it works great for her, fits her needs well.

A Place For Dad

My Dad has been at Encore at Maplewood for 3 months. He just loves having his own apartment. It’s wonderful that he doesn’t have to worry about taking his medication, doing his laundry or cleaning his apartment! The staff at Encore takes care of these needs and so much more. He enjoys the delicious meals served in the homey dining room. He looks forward to the daily activities and friendships that he is continuing to make with the residents. I am so pleased with the better quality of life Encore has given my Dad. Visiting Dad is a treat since he is living in his forever home.

Great place for Dad

Encore knows and understands dementia patients. And when you know things well and hold to high standards, it equals a wonderful place for human beings to be cared for. My father received excellent, truly kind care during his time here. The almost daily communication by text from nursing was priceless. He loved the food! I would definitely recommmend anyone’s loved ones to be a resident here.
