My mom is a resident of Grand Victorian of Crystal Lake. They take care of everyone there. They want to do as much as they can to help people. They're on top of what people are doing if they're not feeling well, not participating, or don't want to. They keep me aware if my mom isn't going down for dinner, not eating, or feeling well, which is helpful. She's independent still, but they have in-home, which is a la carte. They go in and give her pills and do some of the things that she's not able to do on her own. The staff, they're fairly new, and they're trying to get their arms around everything. They seem very qualified and caring. It's all meals. They even do room service if you don't like going to the dining room. It is all included, so it is a menu, and they also have a buffet. If you don't want to see what's on the buffet, you can select from the menu. I've eaten there, and the food is very good. They just updated all the carpeting and painted, but even when it was outdated, they kept it clean. I think that they're on top of that. They have activities constantly. They also send out a newsletter. They have people come in, or they have activities. They're doing something all the time.

I toured the Grand Victorian of Crystal Lake, and I liked everything. They had a lot of amenities and nice sitting areas, and the rooms were very nice and big. It was just a lovely place. They have a little refrigerator and microwave. The staff was very informative, and they offered us lunch. The food was very good and had lots of variety. They had a special for the day and a la carte, and you can combine the two. The facility was gorgeous. It was modern and up-to-date, and they had a large walkway. They had puzzles all around, and they had libraries. It was amazing.

This is a great place, the staff is like family and many of them have been there for many years. They treat you like family. We have always had such a positive experience there.

It is clean, the people are friendly, and the staff takes care of my mother. She's very happy and enjoys the place very much. The people there all seem pleasant and she has had no complaints. Her room is basically like a hotel except you furnish it yourself, and she has a small kitchenette. They provide three meals and they have a bus that takes her into town so she can go to Walmart or get a haircut if she wants to. They also have a haircut facility in the community as well. My mother also likes the food. They could use another elevator. It's a three-story building with lots of people and only two elevators, and everyone uses the elevators. They go on outings and trips, bingo, and other activities.

I was signed up to move my mom into here. My mother is disabled, and they had too much of a barrier to have to lift her leg over to get into the shower stall, which was the biggest deciding point. They told me that they could probably could make a modification, but at that point, I already settled on another place. I was very impressed with them. The apartments were a very nice size and very clean. The staff members I met were very attentive. They told me they are known for their food, which is important for my mother, but they also had outings to stores or social functions off-site. It was a very nice place but a bit older.

My dad started in the independent living apartments and has since transitioned to assisted living. His one bedroom apartment is just perfect for him, and the nurses and aides are very friendly and helpful. It gives me great peace of mind to know that he is well cared for.

It is very nice, clean, close to me, and is where my mother resides. It was a very positive experience moving in. The food is very good. The staff is excellent and very helpful. They have activities that she likes, like bingo, trivia, happy hour, and some kind of entertainment. There is always something going on.

My dad moved in here. It is superb. It’s also close to my brother. They have a Bridge group, they have nice speakers that would come in on various topics, they have special dinners to which they invite family, and even candlelight dinners on special events.

It was just as nice as the other ones. They were pet-friendly, which was nice. The drawback for me on this one was its location compared to where I live or where my mother was living. It was not as convenient as the one in Palatine or as the one in South Elgin, but for the amenities, it was a five star. It was clean, the staff was wonderful -- all of that.

My friend moved in. They are very patient. Everything worked out for my friend. He likes the place. He is in a studio, and it is kind of an L-shape, so it has lots of windows and light. The dining room is clean and spacious. The food is good.The placed seemed very secure. He goes to church every Sunday, and they take him. I think he is very happy there.

We went here, but it was a while back, and I don't remember too much about it. I had it down as a possibility, so it must have been good. Everything there was fine and friendly. We met with the residents; a lot of them spoke to you, and everybody seems to be very friendly. The room seems to be good as well.

I visited here about three weeks ago, and the person who spoke with us -- she is the one who makes arrangements -- was very friendly and showed us two or three rooms. The room is not something my wife and I would want, but it is set back and very nice. They don’t get the traffic noise. It was very bright. The area where people stay was very bright and cheery. That’s the very first thing you see when you come in, and from that standpoint it’s very nice. They have bingo, cards, and physical activities; I passed the room where they had exercises.

It was nice. It was a beautiful place. But I was not fond of the section where my mother would go because it had a nursing home smell. However, the lady that I talked to was very nice and any question that I had, she answered fully. I would recommend them to others.

It is a good facility, but it's too far from where we wanted. The facility is big which means it would be hard to get around for mom. They handle meals better and they seemed to have more things or activities going on. The staff were helpful and friendly. They have card games, movies, and drives. I think the food was pretty good.

It is beautiful. It's set back in a tree-surrounded area and the grounds are beautiful. The staff are very friendly, open and helpful. The apartments are nicely spaced for people to be able to feel comfortable as if they are at home. The residents seemed to enjoy the food there. They have about everything seniors would be looking for in activities and facilities. I would absolutely recommend this to others.

I like the location as much as anything. It's clean and friendly. My son and daughter-in-law live fairly close. My wife is 85, and has no idea who I am. I'm struggling to look after her. I can no longer cope. She has no idea where she is. At least I'd feel more comfortable before I go bankrupt that she was in somewhere reasonable.

It is a bit older compared to the other 2 communities we visited. It's older but really nice. The apartment that we saw were from a friend of my parents-in-law. They had a friend living there, so we didn't actually get a tour from a staff. We just visited a friend who was living there. We saw her apartment but she had one of the smaller unit. I supposed it's still called a studio, but it didn't have room dividers. We did eat there and the food is good. She's very happy there. I would recommend it to others.
