I really liked Bickford of Crystal Lake. It was beautiful and I liked the activities they had. I liked everything they offered. The staff member who showed me around was awesome and great. The place felt homey. The bar and the food were nice. I highly recommend it.

We recommended Clarendale of Algonquin to our parents. The lady was very informative and helpful. We really liked the facility. We got a lovely tour of the place. The rooms were small. They have movies, they have activities, and they can go in and out. They do the laundry, provide meals, housekeeping, and transportation.

My father moved into the assisted living level of Clarendale of Algonquin. It's a very nice community. We've had some good staff members and some bad ones, but most of them are friendly. His room is very nice, clean, it's well lit, and there's a lot of room for him to move around. The grounds and location are good, it's well-kept, and clean.

The woman who took us around Three Oaks was so nice and very thorough. She completely listened to us as far as the history of my mother-in-law and what was going on. The facility was beautiful. They had nice reading rooms everywhere and a library. The dining room was gorgeous. Everything about it was nice. They showed us the menu. They had plenty of fruits available as well as drinks.

We selected Bickford of Crystal Lake for my mother-in-law. It's small, homey, only one floor, and only 37 patients, and that's what she likes. The food is fantastic. They're all home-cooked meal. Everything you can think of, they have it there. They have a salon, a spa, manicures, a dining room, fireplace room, outside patio that is gorgeous for fires and barbecue, a sitting room with a big TV, movies for older people like I Love Lucy and generation movies, and a movie room. It's just a really nice place. It's expensive, but that's because it's assisted living. The staff are all just wonderful people. It just fit her perfect. They went to Lexington where my mom was, they talked to her, the nurse came in for the assessment and stayed with her all day, and she just really enjoyed them. She likes her room, she likes where she's at, and she's making the transition well, and I can be there every single day for her. They keep them entertained and they do everything for them. They have outings and ice cream socials. They just love it. What sold me was when I came in to take a look, we had lunch together. Nobody offered lunch or food anywhere else.
