Encore

The place is nice and clean. I wouldn't change anything.

Unfortunately our mom needs a medicaid nursing home, but [Name removed] still spent time with our family answering questions about other types of care in the area. She was very helpful when we dropped in unannounced.

I was very thankful to find a place that my mom could go when she could no longer live at home. Rutherford house has been a blessing in her life and I know that she'll be cared for in her future. Thanks for helping.

It seems to be a perfect fit...We love Rutherford House! There could be more activities.

Mom has been at Autumn Leaves now for 6 months. I've been really happy with the facility, the staff, and especially the community. I love that it's a small community (33 residents max) and that the whole facility is dedicated to memory care. There were recent changes in the facility management team. That's always cause for concern, so I was excited to find that the new people are as caring and responsive as those who were there when Mom arrived. There is no PERFECT place, outside of at home, with family, to care for our loved ones. (And even that isn't always ideal.) Autumn Leaves of Bolingbrook is as close to that as it gets. Every staff member knows each resident on a first name basis and when we visit, they know us as well and can update us on how mom's been doing. The facility is beautiful, clean, and well maintained. I don't believe our family could have found a better place for Mom

My sister-in-law was living there until she needed skilled nursing. We visited often and made friends with other residents . We still visit them and play cards at least once a week. It is a pleasure to be include in special events. The activities director is so creative and giving of her time. There is wheel chair polka dancing, sing alongs, and smiles from all the guests . We were and are pleased to know such a caring place exists. Finding that right placement is not easy. But, you helped so much.

We are so grateful to have found Hickory Park. My mom has been here for almost six months and loves it. The staff here are just wonderful and truly care about my mom. It’s a wonderful mix of privacy in your own apartment and plenty of opportunity to mingle with the other residents for meals and fun activities. Mom is truly thriving here.

Autumn Leaves of South Barrington is the best! If I could give 10 stars I would! It has been a wonderful place for our Mom. The staff is top notch. Wonderful family atmosphere. They have done a great job with her care. Our Mom is safe. To sum up my experience at Autumn Leaves of South Barrington... a quote by Mother Teresa: "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier."

Was able to visit. Very nice facility. They spent a lot of time with me seeing the facility and going over all the aspects of how they deal with Altzheimers. Very reassuring after my experience with [removed]. Also showed a lot of concern for me. I have decided to go with them.

Very nice, being strongly considered

Was impressed with the facility and the range of programs. Thought the building looked immaculate all over for a 10 year old building. Liked the staff/resident interaction I witnesssed.

This is such a wonderful place to live! It's welcoming and friendly. We love to play sheep's head together and I just love the Bingo. It's a fun, fun place to be! I just love it here!

This place is great. I am my sister's guardian and live 2000 miles away. HC took her in quickly, settled her in, dealt with her dementia and acting out. Over the miles, I have personal contact with medical and activities staff. The way they took control of her and her dementia situation is phenomenal. I sleep well at night knowing I don't have to jump on an airplane and deal with whatever daily problems she can cause. She loves the artwork and activities they provide. She has gained badly needed weight. Her room is clean! And most of all, they keep her safe, which she sometimes doesn't like but that is why she is there. They are so good and caring. They even have staff that know our family personally. How great is that! And they keep me posted of "strange" situations that show up - both by phone, text, and email.

My aunt lives here currently and I think things are going very well. She likes the way she’s being treated. The staff has been very good, we haven’t really had any issues. She likes the food and there seem to be plenty of options to choose from. They have a few activities like bingo, games, and movie nights. They also show the Packers games! During the holidays they had tons of parties and they’ll typically throw events for whatever season it is. The building itself is very nice and outstanding. It appears, to me, as a five star hotel more so than a retirement center. It’s very inviting and comfortable. They’re able to give her the specific care she needs while still feeling like home. I would absolutely recommend this place.

I took a tour at this facility and I liked it a lot. It’s a new facility so everything is updated. The staff was very nice and helpful. I wasn’t able to try the food but I saw that they had a lot of options available to choose from. The building looked sterile almost with how clean it was; everything looked beautiful. They had a few activities and even gave us a schedule with everything they provided. Ultimately, we decided against moving my Mom in due to the pricing.

We chose this community for my mom because it was close to my house, but mainly mom liked that the facility wasn’t too big. The apartments are spacious but everything is close enough together so that she doesn’t have to walk long distances and she loves that she can keep all of her own things with her. She hasn’t been there long but so far I’m happy with the staff there and she really loves the food. It’s actually one of the biggest things for her. They have a decent menu and there seem to be a lot of different options to choose from. The facility itself is very clean and they do laundry once a week. I’m not sure how often they take out the trash but the trash cans are always empty whenever I come around. They have a lot of different activities to participate in; even when we first moved my mom in, they were having an Oktoberfest with a huge buffet and music. I would definitely recommend it here, my husband even asks about when he can move in!

Hickory Park is an excellent community. The staff and the way they took care of us from our first encounter there when we toured until my father’s passing, they met us with dignity, attentiveness, and caring. My father really liked that they spoke to him, not over him to me instead. They acknowledged that he was making the decision to live there as well. The community itself is clean and well maintained, and my father really liked that he was able to change his own room temperature, as he was always feeling cold. The floor plans were large, open, and bright. He was always very excited about the food and the many options at mealtimes, and couldn’t wait to have guests so he could share the experience. There were many activities at the community to bring the residents together, all of whom were very friendly. I liked that there was also a nurse on call at night, so if there were any issues, I was relieved to know that help was close by. Hickory Park was wonderful to us, and I would recommend the community to others.

I recently toured Caldwell House in Troy, Ohio and thought the community was very charming. Very clean, smelled great (lunch was being prepared). The staff was friendly and eager to show off their building. The residents were adorable!!

The staff have been accommodating. The food is good they offer healthy choices and have good sized portions. The community is clean and the grounds are nice. There is a nature preserve across the way. The community allows pets and they have some apartments with a walk out for your dog. I would recommend this community.

The change in our mom since she has moved here is Wonderful! She is making friends and she is enjoying herself she is even becoming a real "Cheesehead" and wears her Greenbay Packers jersey. The staff is great, they are friendly, and they show that they care about the residents by their actions. They make sure mom takes part in the activities, special events and she enjoys coming to the dining room and is eating very well. Mom likes her room, the community is bright, open and clean. We're just so very happy with the change we see in her.
