Presence Fox Knoll

I loved Presence Fox Knoll. I would still be there, but my husband is of age and has dementia. He thought it was too expensive, and he no longer wanted to live there. It was nice, and everybody was nice. Everything was in this one building, and there was a skywalk if you wanted to go to the next building; you could go down the elevator and go upstairs to the next building into the assisted living and the activities, the chapel, the beauty shop and everything else over there. You got a light breakfast, and then they made dinner for you. It had a lot of activities and different things, and then they would take you grocery shopping. It was really nice, and I enjoyed it. The food was good.

Fox Knoll is my choice, and it has been completely remodeled. It’s right along Fox River. I’m getting two bedrooms, a kitchen and dining area, a bath, shower, closets and storage, three meals a day. You can move in at the lower levels, and because it was an old hospital, if you become ill, they have an immediate medical facility and you don’t need to move to a hospital. They have a laundry facility.

Provena Fox Knoll is a nice facility. The staff seemed really nice. Price wise I would say probably competitive. But it was an older facility. So as a result everything was kind of small and amenities were really not that great. The rooms were small. I didn't try the food. The dining area was okay and kind of plain. There's not a lot of activities. They're follow up was a little too aggressive. I did talked to a lady when we went out there for a tour. I told her that I wanted to see the place. But I wasn't in a position to make a decision right away because my mom and dad started to sell their house. I will say that she pestered me probably for the next 3 months.

This particular assisted living provider was faith based. The staff, amenities and facilities were fantastic. All the nurses were very attentive and treated my great-grandmother with the highest amount of respect. Since this particular facility was connected to and run by a hospital the environment was run by high standards. I appreciate its faith-based association and all staff is kind. There is a chapel on the premises, which is very important to my great-grandmother. The facility is very clean and any requests are immediately recognized and addressed. There are many activities available for the residents to remain busy and cultivate relationships with other residents. While the facility is costly, you "get what you pay for". I am very happy we chose this facility for our relative as I feel they treat her as they should. I would recommend this facility to anyone if they hope to have their elderly family members under the best care available. Particularly if the individual suffers from Alzheimer's, the facility is very knowledgable.
